Friday Faves

Hi hi! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend/ We’re headed to Phoenix for a dance competition and then have double birthday parties on Sunday after I train a client. I don’t even care that our weekends are jam-packed again and loving every second. I hope you have a fun weekend ahead and still get time to relax, too! (P fell asleep during our late-night dinner to celebrate my brother Trevor’s bday) We also went to see Sonic the Hedgehog 2  (10/10 would not recommend, but the popcorn was excellent), and I asked the girls to pose by the Top Gun  poster. I was like, “Come take a picture by Tom Cruise! He’s SO cool! We can send it to dad.” They were not as enthused. They’re like, “I see a guy in a flight suit every day.” (Also worth mentioning here that our squadron rented out an entire theatre for the premiere and “costumes are encouraged.” I can’t wait. Even though the guys will be heckling at the screen and pointing out all of the inaccuracies the entire time.) Be...

What is Genu Valgum disease treated naturally

Also referred to as knock knees sometimes, genu valgum is a common condition among small children between the ages of 2 and 7. Most children develop this lower leg deformity as a part of their natural growth development. By the time the child reaches the age of 7 he or she begins to outgrow their knock knee condition, and they’ll notice that their legs begin to straighten out on its own without treatment.

Recently, it seems like every brand is expanding into a new category. One area that seems to be especially popular is the home and accessories category, specifically blankets. There are new collections launching daily with features that help with anxiety and sleep disorders to capsules that are designed for mothers-to-be or event made out of plastic. If you need it, the chances are it is out there! One collection that I recently found out about is designed specifically for the outdoors. It was a collaboration between two similar, yet very different, brands: performance apparel company, Boathouse Sports , and legacy blanket brand, ChappyWrap . This is the first-ever blanket collection Boathouse Sports has designed, so naturally partnering with a brand with the experience that ChappyWrap has, was one that sparked some interest.

I've tried many things from diets and learned my lesson

Hi friends! How’s the week going so far? I hope you’re having a great morning. I’m excited for an F45 class and some adventures with the crew – I’m so happy the kids are off school this week! For today’s post, I wanted to look back at some of the eating styles and diets I’ve tried and what I learned from them . Of course, if reading about this topic is triggering or uncomfortable for you, please skip this post and I’ll see ya in the am. When I first embarked on my weight loss and health journey in college, I tried a lot of different things and quickly realized they weren’t the right fit for me. I’ll never forget drinking a WARM Slim Fast shake after finishing a philanthropy event for school. I went to my car afterwards, where my sad and warm Slim Fast was waiting for me. As I drank it, slightly gagging the entire time, I vowed that I would find a strategy with the freedom to eat real food and things I actually enjoyed. While I could easily write a book on all of the ways different d...
