Me 🤝 daily pasta 🍝 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because salads, smoothies and the normal “healthy routine” will always be waiting for ya back at home, but savoring EVERY delicious meal while traveling is priceless 💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: pasta is one of my favorite foods ever so this trip was an absolute dream

Welcoming the new month under the Tuscan sun. ☀️ It’s the perfect time for my one question, once a week:

Arrived in Firenze yesterday evening and it has already stolen my heart (and my stomach 🍝🍨❤️) #florenceitaly #europetrip #traveldiary #minivlog

Weekend favorites #photodump ft. a few snaps from our time in South Tyrol 📸💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Between the breathtaking views, delicious food, amazing hospitality and rich history, I can 100% attest that the entire Dolomites region of Italy is a must see!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those interested in traveling here, I’ll be sure to compile everything into a blog post when I’m home next week ✈️. But in the meantime, here are a few things you HAVE to include in your South Tyrol travel bucket list:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ take the cable car to @alpinn_food_space_restaurant
✨ go for a scenic drive
✨ walk the promenades in Merano
✨ rent a row boat at Lago di Braies 🛶
✨ go on a Dolomites hike (there are so many to choose from)
✨ stay in a schlosshotel (castle hotel) 🏰
✨ obviously order pasta 🍝 at every restaurant
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More to come later since it’s our last night here before we take a train to another Italian destination. So stay tuned! #europetrip #visitsouthtyrol

After a 20 hour travel experience, we have finally

After a 20 hour travel experience, we have finally arrived in South Tyrol for the first leg of our vacation! Thanks for playing along with my guessing game — it was so fun to read through your answers 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know everyone loves southern Italy but we wanted to shake things up a bit. This stunning province in northern Italy used to be part of Austria pre-WWI and now boasts a unique blend of German and Italian culture. It’s also home to the Dolomites, an incredible mountain range and World Heritage Site nestled in the Italian Alps ⛰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So you can bet we’ll be doing lots of hiking, exploring, drinking Tyrolean wine, eating pasta and gelato, and castle hopping (there are over 800 scattered across this region)!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are sooo happy to be here and will be heading to multiple other, more familiar, Italian cities next weeks. But in the meantime I’d love to know — have any of you been to South Tyrol before?? #europetrip #travelwithme #southtyrol #dolomitesitaly

Pack with me for a European adventure 💕🏰🍁

Pack with me for a European adventure 💕🏰🍁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been dreaming of this vacation since last year so definitely feeling a little pinch me moment that it’s finally happening! The last time I visited this country was right out of high school in 2007 and this is Bay’s first time, so we are both over the moon with excitement
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are going to 3 different places so I thought it could be fun to do a little guessing game for our first stop since it’s more of a ✨ hidden gem✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some hints:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) There are hundreds of castles in this region
2) There are 3 official languages you’ll see/hear
3) It’s known as a mecca for mountain lovers
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drop your guess and stay tuned for the reveal later this week. ✈️ 🌎 #packwithme

Plant care = self care 🌱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My love of plants started with the most beautiful fiddle leaf fig tree back in our tiny Brooklyn apartment and here in Denver it’s been so nice to expand my plant collection to include all of these beauties
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you spot any of your favorite houseplants?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for a few easy care plants to get started with, I highly recommend:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 pothos
🌱 snake plant
🌱 zz plant
🌱 peace lily
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve linked all my favorite plant tools, accessories, and care products (soil, fertilizer, self watering planter, etc) in my Amazon shop! 🪴

10 HANDSTAND DRILLS to help you gain more confiden

10 HANDSTAND DRILLS to help you gain more confidence going upside down! 💕 SAVE this post for later and comment if you’ll be trying these out
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Truthfully, I’ve been super hesitant to share inversion tips with you all for awhile because I don’t consider myself “great” at handstands. The fact is I’m still learning and consider myself somewhat of a novice at them as well!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But even though I still wobble, my alignment isn’t perfect and I’m no where near being able to do a handstand press — I figured I’d at least share the exercises I do to help my own practice evolve
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My hope is that they’ll be helpful for any of you in your handstand journey and give you the courage to get on your mat and try it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are 9 specific exercises shown in the video that help with alignment, stability and strengthening key muscles like your core + shoulders. The 10th drill is for you to actually try doing a handstand (with or without a wall) 😉 . The more you practice, the less fear you’ll have!

I’m not sure if it really qualifies as a recipe

I’m not sure if it really qualifies as a recipe but this pumpkin spice affogato is too yummy not to share! 🍂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve never been one to shy away from dessert, and #affogatocoffee is an afternoon treat that makes me feel extra ✨fancy✨ even in all it’s simplicity
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This one has vanilla ice cream, 2 shots of pumpkin flavored espresso, and pumpkin pie spice 🎃 BUT I def think it’d be super tasty with pumpkin ice cream (if you can find some at your local ice cream shop or grocery store)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s super simple and so decadent! Who wants to try this? #pumpkinspice
