On-The-Go in Fabletics [Clothing Line Review]

Hi friends! First thing's first: The winner of my ProYo giveaway is Christa Lopez. Thanks to all who entered! Christa, I've emailed you for your contact info. :) Now onto today's topic: workout clothes! Since I work from home and exercise almost every day, I seriously live in my workout clothing. Naturally I love having cute workout gear that I can feel good about and comfortable in, and I usually buy a few new things every couple of months to keep my wardrobe fresh and fun. One brand that I've been buying lately is Fabletics, Kate Hudson's line. Since I've now purchased a bunch of Fabletics outfits, I thought it'd be fun to share my experience with the line thus far. How it Works: For anyone who isn't familiar with them, Fabletics offers customers what it calls a VIP ... [Read More]

10 Ways to Live Your Healthiest Summer Yet

Hi and Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the weekend? Speaking of the weekend, Sunday marks the first official day of summer in the northern hemisphere! While San Diego has been getting a lot of June gloom weather - where it's overcast for large parts of the day anywhere close to the ocean - I'm expecting it to officially feel like summer here pretty soon. In honor of the summer and its official start, I came up with a list of ways to make summer 2015 your healthiest one yet. Let's get to it! 1.) Eat lots of in-season produce. This is the time of year when tomatoes are at their sweetest and juiciest and when watermelon is abundant. Take advantage of it! Bonus: Watermelon is mostly made of water, which will keep you hydrated in the hot weather. 2.) Get outside and ... [Read More]

DietBet Week 4 Recap (I Made It!)

Hi there! Hope that everyone who has off from work for Memorial Day today is enjoying it. My weekend has been very low-key just as I wanted it to be, and has included a tennis session with my hubby, some shopping and cleaning, and renting a movie. If the cloudy skies clear out here, I'm going to head to the beach today, but before I hopefully become a beach bum for the afternoon, I wanted to share a recap of my last week participating in Jen Widerstrom's Summer Shake Down DietBet! In case you missed my past DietBet recaps: DietBet Week 3 Recap + 5 Ways to Drink More H20 DietBet Week 2 Recap | Persevering When the Scale Won’t Budge DietBet Week 1 Recap + Letting Go of the All-or-Nothing Healthy Living Mentality Since I knew that I'd be in Palm Springs the weekend before ...

DietBet Week 3 Recap + 5 Ways to Drink More H20

Hello, hello! I'm back on this lovely Wednesday to give you a week 3 update on the DietBet game I'm participating in. Just in case you missed my other weekly recaps and want to check them out: DietBet Week 2 Recap | Persevering When the Scale Won’t Budge DietBet Week 1 Recap + Letting Go of the All-or-Nothing Healthy Living Mentality Exercise  Activity-wise, I killed it in week 3. Lots of kickboxing, HIIT, walking my pup, a few hikes, and some yoga practice thrown in there. Saturday was my rest day to relax and give my body a chance to recover, and I did some foam rolling and icing throughout the week - though I'm making a mental note to try to ice every single day. Diet Food-wise, week 3 started off kind of shaky. I was eating healthy, I just wasn't nixing the ... [Read More]

Got to bake up some delicious macarons in the beautiful city of Paris! 💕 

Macarons are high on my daughter’s list of favorite desserts, and it was lovely learning how to make them from a Parisian pastry chef! The macaron ingredient list is short, but making them is an art ✨

Packed with fruit… but my kid calls it ice cream🍦We love breaking out our @yonanas gadget all summer long! 

My favorite way to make fruit soft serve 👇🏼

INGREDIENTS
1 sliced ripe banana, frozen
2/3 cup strawberries, frozen
favorite toppings: sprinkles, nuts, nut butter, etc

INSTRUCTIONS
Remove your fruit from the freezer. Allow it to thaw for about 10 minutes, until it starts to slightly soften.
Place the frozen fruit into the Yonanas maker, a handful at a time. I like to run about 1/2 the banana, then the strawberries, and then the rest of the banana through the machine straight into a bowl. I then use a spoon to swirl the fruit together, and immediately place the soft serve into cones if using.
Add in your favorite toppings and enjoy before it melts!
Serves 1 - scale up as desired!

School’s out for my little girl ☀️& here are 4️⃣ screen-free tools that I’m using to keep my 6 year old busy and learning when we’re home this summer: 

1️⃣ @mondaymandala’s awesome array of free digital printables on just about anything you can think of 🖍️

2️⃣ @youngwildandfriedman’s amazing sensory kits that are high-quality and last forever. I have purchased a serious amount of these play dough and sensory sand kits over the years & they are worth every penny! My kiddo will spend hours setting up all of the little trinkets and building little play dough towns.

3️⃣ @Canva’s printable educational worksheets ✏️ For instance, I printed out money worksheets & am planning on doing a money lesson that includes us emptying out her piggy bank to delve deeper into currency & paying for something she wants at the store with her own 💵

4️⃣ A @brain_quest workbook — I bought one last summer as well & we love incorporating it into little lessons at home!

Spent the day at 📍Murrieta Hot Springs & thoroughly enjoyed it there! 

While we have visited numerous fun hot springs with our daughter, it was definitely nice to be out of mom mode & experience our local hot springs while our little one was in school. From hot tubs and cold plunges to saunas & clay mud, we got to kick back & enjoy it all!

This dinner at Eastern Mediterranean restaurant @ammatoli in Long Beach, CA 📍deserves a place on the grid — because sometimes, a foodie mom simply *must* book the reservation as she drools looking at the menu online, all the while having zero confidence that her mini me will be willing to eat a morsel of food there. 

Our veggie-forward dishes, the ambiance & aesthetic, the service…all exquisite at Ammatolí! Swipe to see my daughter’s obsession - their mint tea! 🌿☕️ She too left a happy camper, with a belly full of tea and warm pita bread.
