I’m back with another round of #HealthyHabits that will change your life (scroll further down my feed to find pt 1 if you missed it).

Building a stack of habits that change the way you feel mentally, emotionally, and physically for the better is one of the best things you can do for yourself 🥰

If you need some tips on how to get started, here are 5 habits to add to your repertoire:

1️⃣ Schedule alone time: carving out time alone is essential for your wellbeing (even if you’re an extrovert like me). Find ways to make your time feel more special like taking yourself on a solo date

2️⃣ Clean your space: a clear space = a clear mind, and one of my favorite ways to do this is to allot 30 min each evening for a “closing shift” where you do dishes, tidy up and prep your space so that you can wake up to a clean house

3️⃣ Make time for hobbies: it’s too easy to get caught up in the productivity hustle but making time for things that are just for fun can be the BEST thing for your creativity and mental wellbeing

4️⃣ Go for a walk: getting in the habit of going outside to get your steps in and breathe in the fresh air is such a great way to reset for the day. There are lots of fun ways to make your walks more interesting, whether you listen to a new podcast or make it a mindful color walk

5️⃣ Practice presence: the act of noticing your surroundings and fully immersing yourself in the simple moments is a life long practice. If tuning in to yourself is challenging and you find your mind wandering, try slowing down and being intentional to not multi-task and instead focus on one thing at a time

I’m back for another edition to my #selfcaresess

I’m back for another edition to my #selfcaresessions series and this was the PERFECT mix of mindful movement and active recovery + your reminder to get outta the house and do something that makes you feel good! 💕

I haven’t used a yoga wheel in years so loved that the Flow class at @upswell_studio had us doing all kinds of juicy stretches and myofascial release with props

The recovery combo of sauna + cold plunge + compression therapy is truly elite and so fun to do with a friend ☺️

Overall 10/10 would recommend and want to go back asap!

Lemme tell you, the way this blended pistachio matcha latte has a GRIP on me is unreal! ✨💕🍵 It’s sweet, nutty and super smooth — definitely the perfect summer drink for all the matcha girlies out there

I don’t usually blend matcha in a blender but it works perfectly for this recipe

All you need are:
✨ 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha
✨ 1 heaping tbsp pistachio butter
✨ 1 cup pistachio milk
✨ (optional) 1 serving collagen peptides

Blend until smooth and pour over ice 🫶🏼

Let me know if you’ll be trying this!!

It’s #nationalrescuedogday so of COURSE I had to show off my two cutie furbabies 🐾

Both came from rough backgrounds — Nina’s previous owner tried to throw her off a bridge in Florida and Chip comes from a massive dog hoarding case in Tennessee. They’ve both known nothing but love since entering our home years ago 🫶🏼

Nina has been doing yoga with me for 12 years and as Chip is FINALLY starting to show more interest in getting involved 🥹

So here’s a little glimpse at our very short 15 min practice… which feels extra special because quality time is limited with a new baby around 💕

#FordAmbassador Who else finds driving on the high

#FordAmbassador Who else finds driving on the highway stressful? 🙋🏻‍♀️It’s definitely my least favorite part about driving here in Denver but so necessary because I love bopping around to different restaurants, parks and fitness studios around the city.

That’s why I LOVE that my 2025 Ford Explorer® SUV has the available @Ford #BlueCruise which offers hands-free driving on 97% of controlled access highways in areas called hands-free Blue Zones across the U.S. and Canada. 👏🏻

It helps me change lanes with Lane Change Assist and an advanced infrared driver-facing camera to track eye gaze and head position to ensure I’m paying attention to the road while driving hands -free.

It really helps make driving less stressful in times like this morning when I’m headed to a yoga class in north Denver. Just one of many reasons why I love my Ford Explorer! 🤍

Available feature on BlueCruise-equipped vehicles. BlueCruise requires a Connected Services plan and modem activation. BlueCruise driver-assist features can be activated in hands-free Blue Zones and do not replace safe driving and driver’s need to control the vehicle. See ford.com/bluecruise for more details on available plans and hands-free models. 2025 Ford Explorer® ST SUV shown with optional equipment.

Having a winter baby made picking out her little beach outfits one of my fav parts of taking her to Florida… and then we forgot to record some of the cutest ones because #mombrain is so real 😅☀️💕

Finishing up 12 wonderful days in Florida and our very first beach vacation with our 5 month old ☀️🌊🌴

It was so incredibly special to show Lily the beach where I grew up and spend time with lots of family and friends 🥹

We were really nervous about traveling with such a young baby but honestly it was so much more seamless than expected and I think it helped that we were a bit over prepared 😅 (yes I did pack her @babybrezza in our luggage and the @doonausa travel stroller 100% lives up to the hype lol)

Other things we brought for her that made things easier and I highly recommend:

✨ @uppababy pack and play (just check this as another piece of luggage)
✨ @hatchforbabysleep rest and go sound machines
✨ mini fan for stroller
✨ @babymoov_usa baby tent for beach
✨ over the door shoe organizer to hold/organize all baby clothes
✨ a couple baby carriers (we love @mabecarriers @babytula and @wildbird)
✨ @magicsleepsuit of course
✨ @get_nanit baby monitor (packed in travel case)

Of course you don’t need all/any of the above!! I’m just sharing what worked for us ☺️

Our mornings looked like some variation of what you see here with a few sunrise walks and coffee runs mixed in. And now it’s time to head back home with a luggage full of dirty laundry and a camera full of 10,000 pictures & videos 💕
