6.27 Friday Faves

Image
6.27 Friday Faves Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We have a couple of NCL events and I’m looking forward to swimming, grilling, and catching up on chores. I’m also putting the finishing touches on a new workshop – I’ll share the details next week! (We had a big familiy dinner after we got home and introduced everyone to Tinto de Verano) Some Spain antique market finds: two paintings and two candlesticks (I’m not sure if this is their permanent home but I like them here for now!) I feel inspired to refresh things around the house, so I’m going to get started on the office first. I want it to be my little writing and biohacking hub 🙂 It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below. 6.27 Friday Faves Fashion + beauty + random: Flabelus . Here are the gorg...

How Energy Medicine Solves Burnout: Holistic Healer Birgitta Visser’s Groundbreaking Approach

How Energy Medicine Solves Burnout: Holistic Healer Birgitta Visser’s Groundbreaking Approach Feeling tired and having trouble getting motivated to work? If so, you’re not alone. The Hill reports that Americans are currently experiencing burnout at an “all-time high .” Twenty-four percent of workers feel they have more work than they can complete during regular work hours, and 66 percent long to change jobs.  “Burnout is a debilitating state of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion that can have profound effects on our overall well-being,” holistic healing practitioner Birgitta Visser, founder of Power Soul Healing , explains. “We may feel immense pressure and responsibility to keep working, to pay the bills and meet external expectations, but this comes at a steep cost. Burnout can lead us down a dark path of depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and a general sense of apathy and disconnection from ourselves.” According to Visser, doing energy work can help individu...

Barcelona Gluten-free Food Tour

Barcelona Gluten-free Food Tour Sharing a recap of our experience with the Barcelona gluten-free food tour. Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having a great week. We’re enjoying being back at home even though we’re definitely missing our Spain adventures. After 5 weeks in Europe, I definitely got used to that life 😉 Something we learned during our trip: how much we all LOVED Barcelona. It was our first time and since the Pilot wasn’t able to make it to the part of the trip – he was there for the last four days of our time there – we told him we just have to go back. A major highlight: the gluten-free food tour, lead by Dvir Bar. As you guys know, we’re major foodies and love checking out new foods and restaurants locally and when we travel. I’ve been strict gluten-free for two years now as part of my healing journey, and back in January, we learned that P had a severe gluten sensitivity. While I’ve been around the gluten-free block for a while, P is still learning.. and...

Daily Habits that Changed my Hormones and Life

Daily Habits that Changed my Hormones and Life Sharing some of the habits that helped with my hormones, mood, sleep, energy, and life! Hi friends! How are ya? I hope that you’re having an amazing morning so far. We’re living up some pool time and just getting caught up on the routine now that we’re back in town. While I love vacation mode, there’s something so lovely about getting back into your routine and the habits that make your feel your best. I think I pay even more attention to these things now because there was a LONG time when I felt completely off. I was tired but wired, dealing with constant bloating, mood swings, horrible fatigue, and while most of the tradition labs looked *normal* I knew something wasn’t right. Through my journey of becoming an Integrative Health Practitioner , and especially after dealing with my own autoimmune symptoms, I discovered something powerful: small, consistent daily habits have the ability to heal you from the inside out. These tools have ...

Books I’ve read lately

Books I’ve read lately Sharing a recap of the books I’ve read lately and if they’re worth adding to your collection.  Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having a lovely morning! We’ve been enjoying all of the Sevilla adventures, going to bed at at least midnight every might, and then sleeping in every day. It’s.been.amazing. I’ve managed to get in some reading time before bed and have blasted through four books. Two were horrible, and two were excellent. I’m sharing recaps below and I’d love to hear what you’ve been enjoying this summer! Books I’ve Read Lately The Warsaw Orphan by Kelly Rimmer This one absolutely wrecked me. It’s set in WWII Poland and follows a teenage girl who starts smuggling Jewish children out of the ghetto. The writing is beautiful, and even though the subject matter is heavy, it’s the kind of book that sticks with you long after you finish it. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something emotional and powerful. 9/10 From Amazon : ...

6.20 Friday Faves

6.20 Friday Faves Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope that you’ve had an amazing week. I’m sorry for the crickets over here this week – I only managed to publish two posts because we were living up our last few days in Sevilla. One of the biggest gifts to myself during this long trip was that I pre-wrote 12 blog posts before we left. It gave me the chance to truly unplug and enjoy, and now we’re home and it’s back to the routine! I’m pretty proud of myself because for almost the entire trip, I was solo parenting. The girls and I flew across the ocean to Barcelona, enjoyed some days before our cruise and after our cruise there, did the Disney cruise, flew down to Sevilla, spent 4+ weeks there, and the Pilot was able to join us for the past few days. He was finishing up training since he headed back to the airlines, and while we were hopeful the timing would work out with the trip, I didn’t work out that way. Since he was going to be gone anyway, the girls and I went for i...

What Is the Difference Between Lumecca IPL and Regular IPL?

What Is the Difference Between Lumecca IPL and Regular IPL? If you’re researching non-invasive ways to tackle sunspots, redness and uneven skin tone, IPL—Intense Pulsed Light—likely features on your radar. By sending controlled pulses of light into the skin, IPL gently breaks down unwanted pigmentation and tiny broken vessels, which your body then clears away naturally. Lumecca represents the latest evolution of this technology , promising more targeted energy delivery and, in many cases, visible improvements in fewer sessions. How Conventional IPL Improves Complexion Traditional IPL devices emit a broad spectrum of wavelengths (roughly 500–1,200 nm) into the upper skin layers. Those wavelengths are preferentially absorbed by melanin in age spots and haemoglobin in fine vessels. As these structures heat and fragment, your lymphatic system removes them over subsequent days and weeks. Multiple appointments—typically three to six, spaced four to six weeks apart—ensure sufficient energy...
