Friday Favorites: Aussie Iced Lattes, Lily & The Octopus, Hot Yoga and more

September 9, 2016 By Melanie 2 Comments

Hello Friday, it’s so good to see you again. Thanks to Labor Day, this week has really flown by and I can now look forward to a fun filled weekend ahead of me! It’s my first year attending a few New York Fashion Week events and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s something that I’ve dreamed of ever since I was old enough to start watching Sex & The City… so it’s all a little surreal that I’m actually living here and able to witness some of the fashionable chaos with my own eyes. Since NYFW is an exclusive event, I unfortunately am not invited to the bigger shows like Rodarte, Marchesa or Alexander Wang (I diieee) but it’s going to be super fun nonetheless! 

Anyway, enough about NYFW since it’s not making it to this particular post on my “Friday Favorites” – which is really just a roundup of a few of my favorite things that I discovered or experienced within the past week. Maybe Fashion Week will make it to the list next week after I see if it’s all that it’s cracked up to be. 😉

Without further ado, I present to you a few things that I’m loving this week. Enjoy!

Aussie Iced Lattesaussieicedlattebluestonelane_location-header2_dumbo-1-1600x600

When MindBodyGreen posted about Bluestone Lane opening up a coffee shop in Dumbo (my hood), I knew I had to check it out. Bay had been talking about this magical concoction called ‘Aussie Iced Lattes’ forever and I had yet to try one, so I figured Monday was the perfect opportunity. The cafe is super adorable – think flamingo print walls, hanging plants and a beautiful coffee bar. While I chowed down on avocado toast, Bay decided to try vegemite on toast for the first time. Let’s just say it’s definitely not my cup of tea. haha 

The Aussie Iced Lattes however were right up my alley. It’s a lot like an affogato but much, much bigger… made with copious amounts of vanilla ice cream, chilled espresso, ice and cinnamon. Healthy? Absolutely not. Delicious? Absolutely YES. I’m obsessed. 

Lily & The Octopuslily-and-the-octopus

If you’ve been following me on Instagram I’m sure you’re aware that I’m kind of a huge dog lover. I’ll admit that sometimes that love borders ‘crazy dog lady’ status, but I wear that title with pride. So it should be no surprise that when I was gifted a book about a man and his Dachshund, Lily, I was hooked. It was simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking… and I was instantly reminded of my first dog, Brownie, who passed away a little over 3 years ago. I don’t want to give too much away so I’ll just copy the description from Amazon: Lily and the Octopus reminds us how it feels to love fiercely, how difficult it can be to let go, and how the fight for those we love is the greatest fight of all. 

Fair warning – I was up until 2AM reading this book and cried many tears. Get the tissues ready. 

Hot Yoga 

Y7 Studio

I recently signed up for ClassPass and it’s been a dream. I went to Prana Power Yoga earlier this week for an hour hot yoga session and it was so lovely. It’s not quite Bikram status as the room is heated to 90 degrees instead of 105. The flow was slow and gentle, which I really appreciated as it gave my muscles time to open up and really feel the depth of each pose. I’m starting to love how hot yoga makes me feel, especially after trying the “We Flow Hard” Vinyasa class at y7 studio a couple weeks ago. You get super sweaty but the end result is totally worth it. Just be sure to properly hydrate beforehand and bring a water bottle with you. 

Hiking With Ninanina-and-inina-outside

This past weekend, Bay and I traveled with Nina to Beacon, NY – which is just a little over an hour north of NYC. We spent our time hanging out with good friends, eating delicious food, drinking wine smoothies (yes, that’s a real thing and it’s amazing), and on Sunday we went for a 5 mile hike near the river. This is the first long nature walk that we’ve done with Nina and she was so adorable… she even jumped into the river for a swim! 

Instagram Storiesinstagram-stories

Sorry Snapchat but I 100% choose Instagram Stories as the way to share ephemeral content on the daily. It’s so easy to use, the design is better and so far I’m loving all the stories that I’ve seen on my feed. Keep them coming people! The only thing I wish Insta Stories offered are those lovely facial filters that Snapchat has… but until they do, I’ll just go to Snapchat to create an image and then post it to Stories. hehe

Keep up with what I’m doing on the daily, including events that I’ll be attending this weekend (NYFW and Wanderlust Festival) on my Instagram Story! If there’s anything in particular you’d like to see me post more of on Stories please let me know. 😄 

 

That’s it for this week! Hope you all have the best weekend.

Sharing a different kind of #SelfCare Session with you all because it seriously did wonders for my self confidence and I am here to spill the tea!! 💛

I felt like pregnancy and postpartum aged me so quickly and the stress + lack of sleep + inflammation definitely manifested in the skin on my face looking ROUGH. I was seeing more fine lines, sun spots, redness and enlarged pores than ever before (that second photo has me feeling so exposed 🙈)

So when @laseredbykaitlyn reached out to tell me about Moxi and BBL laser treatments, I was immediately interested. I had heard great things about them before and although I was a bit skeptical at first, I knew it was worth a try 

Swipe through to see the whole journey from two sessions at @alluvionaesthetics — one round of just Moxi and one round of Moxi & BBL together. 

I am sooo beyond happy with the results and my skin looks so much healthier, younger and refreshed! I wanted to share with you all in case any of you are struggling with similar skin issues 💛✨

Let me know if you have any q’s!

#Ad Self-Care morning routines are a little shorter these days and that just means I’ve learned to prioritize habits and products that go the extra mile to make me feel my best! ✨

One #healthyhabit I’m always working on, especially living in Colorado, is #hydration and that’s why I was SO excited to get my hands on @goultima’s NEW Collagen Defense! I mean… an electrolyte drink that keeps me hydrated AND has skin boosting benefits? Sign me up! 👏🏻🍓 

The Kiwi Strawberry flavor is so refreshing and the blend of Dermaval and Biotin helps to protect skin’s natural collagen & elastin plus support hair, skin and nails. The best part? It tastes amazing and has no sugar, calories, carbs or artificial sweeteners.

Head to my stories for the link and let me know if you’ll be trying this for yourself! 💕

A little reminder that your younger self would be
A little reminder that your younger self would be so PROUD of how far you’ve come and this life you are currently living is worth celebrating every. single. day. 💛

I’m someone who is always chasing new goals… and while I appreciate my willingness to hustle, I also know that without intentionally pausing to find gratitude in the present moment it can be far to easy to get used to the things you once were working so hard for. 

This morning, in the midst of my brain starting to spiral thinking about “what’s next” (and having a minor meltdown), I had a moment where I looked around and realized “wow, THIS life is exactly what you dreamed of years ago.” 

And if I look back on so many previous years of my life, I had countless other “aha” moments like that too. Many things that my younger self would have never dreamed possible, became a reality… sometimes in the smallest, most subtle of ways 

All this to say, it’s SO important to keep chasing your dreams. This world needs you. It needs you and your voice, your gifts, your talents and your unique perspective ☺️

Just don’t forget to pause every once in awhile and look around with gratitude for the life you are living right now too 💕

Today’s tip is all about leaning into seasonal joys and with it being early summertime that calls for gardening!🪏🪴🫜It’s times like these that I’m SO happy I have my 2025 @Ford Explorer® SUV because the cargo space is perfect for large hauls. 

The available feature back seats fold down with a touch of a button and it’s been a game changer for road trips and grocery shopping. In this case I was able to fill it with multiple bags of soil, a pot and lots of starter flowers, herbs and strawberries! 🍓🌼 

This is just the beginning of plenty more planting I plan on doing this season and I can’t wait to share more. I already know we’ll be spending lots of time out on our back porch, whether we are gardening, barbecuing, sipping coffee in the morning or hosting friends for dinner. 🍽️ 

Let me know if you want to see the start of my cut flower garden and maybe a full garden tour later this month!

It’s so easy to make and tastes sweet & refreshing! Here’s a little step-by-step of how to make the BEST matcha at home:

✨ Pour 1/4 cup of hot water, ideally between 160-175 degrees Fahrenheit, over matcha 
✨ Using bamboo whisk, whisk vigorously in a W shape until microfoam forms 

For the blueberry portion, muddle fresh blueberries with blueberry syrup (or make a homemade blueberry syrup by heating blueberries with sugar, lemon juice and water over the stove)
