The Headstands and Heels Activewear Collection is Here!

August 28, 2019 By Melanie No Comments

OH EM GEE, I feel like a child at Christmas because today is the big day! I’m finally revealing the secret project I’ve been working on for the past month and it’s BIG.  Newsletter subscribers already got a sneak peek last week but if you missed it here it is… The Headstands and Heels activewear collection in partnership with The Cosmic Project is available for pre-order. 🙂 

Cue all the happy tears and high fives because I am seriously so grateful to have been able to make this a reality. This limited edition capsule collection features 4 athletic sets (sports bras and leggings) that follow a dreamy pink color palette inspired by the image below: 

Headstands and Heels Collection Inspiration

I’ve been dreaming of creating a tangible branded product for quite some time now and activewear felt like the right fit. Working with Becca, the creator of The Cosmic Project, was such a joy and she really helped bring my vision to life. So much love went into the making of the collection and my hope is that you’ll be as obsessed with each piece as I am! It was honestly so cool to flex my creative muscles in a way that I don’t normally get to do. For example, the floral set you see below was a graphic created from one of my watercolor paintings. I really wanted to create a vibrant, fun collection that embodied my personality while remaining trendy and wearable. Becca and I went back and forth on the designs for a few weeks before we landed on the four you see here. I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! 

Fit and Fabric Details

All the pieces of the collection are handmade to order here in the USA. The material is soft and lightweight with four-way stretch fabric that fits beautifully. The leggings are high-waisted (my favorite) and the racerback sports bra offers full coverage and has a wide elastic band to ensure constant support. All material is 82% polyester and 18% spandex. One thing to note is that the leggings do run a bit long and on the larger side so it’s best to size down especially if you’re in-between sizes. Sports bra are true to size and best for bra sizes A-C. 

*Important Note: Because each piece is handmade, there may be slight color variations across orders. We are doing our best to minimize this but do want you to be aware that this was a price we had to pay to have them ethically made in the US instead of finding a supplier overseas.

Pre-order Special!

For the next 10 days we are offering 20% off the regular price of all sets (sports bra and leggings). Since they will normally be sold for $110 that means you can snag a set for only $88 for a limited time! Head to TheCosmicProject.com to place your order.  🙂 

I want to give a special shoutout and thank you to Mia (@the_healthlete), Alyssa (@alyssabrieloff) and Wini (@winilaophotos) for being part of the launch shoot! I’m so so happy with how the photos turned out and hope they give you an idea of how the fabric can bend, stretch and move. 

Thank you ALL so much for your support! I am overwhelmed with how many messages I received last week when I did the soft announcement. If you do purchase a set both Becca and I would LOVE to see you wearing it on Instagram! Be sure to tag us at @headstandsandheels and @thecosmicproject for a chance to be reposted on our feeds and stories. And of course we are VERY open to feedback so please feel free to reach out directly via email or DM if you have anything you’d like to share. 

So excited to see you all rocking these outfits! 

Love you all!

Romanticizing a cozy, festive weekend morning with my little family🎄

If you thought Christmastime was magical as a child, I’m telling you… just wait until you’re a parent. There are so many beautiful and fun activities I want to do with my daughter and to think we have years of this ahead of us makes my heart so happy. 

There are only 6 more Saturdays till Christmas and I don’t think it’s enough🥹 

{ps we thrifted this little Christmas tree toy for her and she is obsessed! It’s the cutest way to start our mornings now that holiday season is in full swing}

#QNPartner Cozy season is in full swing and it’s the perfect opportunity to embrace a softer version of wellness that allows us to slow down and savor this busy time of year. Here are a few things I’m personally doing that I think you’ll love too:

✨Savor my coffee outdoors near the fire
✨Opt for more home cooked meals that lean into warming, fall flavors
✨Add cozy, self-care elements to my home like non-toxic candles and @quiltednorthern toilet paper. It’s our go to because it’s crafted with  3 layers for maximum comfort and ultimate softness.
✨Make time for cozy hobbies instead of doomscrolling or binge watching tv

What are some of your favorite ways to practice #selfcare and take care of yourself during cozy season?

All jokes aside, I’m personally really ready for all the fun Christmas crafts, holiday parties, and sharing old (and starting new!) traditions with my daughter for the first time

Inside this “kit” you’ll find:
✨a seasonal affirmation & journal prompt 
✨holiday cheer - acts of kindness bingo 
✨diy Christmas decor ideas 
✨festive cocktails for hosting 
✨holiday date ideas 
✨holiday party inspo to bring friends together
✨a very merry bucket list 
✨finding your perfect Christmas mug

Be sure to save and spread the joy! 🥰 

And if you’re willing to share, I’d love to know what YOUR favorite holiday traditions or activities are!

One of the most difficult parts of being a new mom
One of the most difficult parts of being a new mom has been learning how to let go of the need to constantly be “productive”

and as a chronic overachiever, I’ve struggled a lot with tying self-worth to productivity. Which means accepting that my goals might take more of a backseat right now has been extra challenging

one thing that has helped shift my mindset was acknowledging that slowing down does NOT mean that I’m failing. In fact, days or even seasons of slowness are an important part of life and crucial for our overall physical and emotional wellbeing

Being able to reframe the classic thought pattern of “I did nothing today” to one of these more positive phrases is a helpful way to place the emphasis on self-care and acknowledge that there is joy to be found in slowing down 

if this post finds you, I hope it serves as a helpful validation that sometimes ✨rest✨ is truly the most important thing you can do for yourself 💕

As we enter what may feel like the busiest time of year, let this be your guide to ✨resetting your nervous system✨ so that you can help regulate stress and return to a state of calm 

GIVE YOURSELF A RELEASE
when your body just needs to let go of any pent up tension, stress or anxiety — movement and allowing yourself to FEEL all of the emotions can be the best medicine

GROUND YOURSELF IN THE PRESENT
after releasing the feelings and energy, try a few grounding practices to reorient your nervous system and come back to the present moment 

ACTIVATE THE RELAXATION RESPONSE
slow down and help your body transition to the parasympathetic nervous system (otherwise known as the “rest & digest” state) with activities like breathwork, yoga, or even a long hug 

GET SUPPORT FROM LOVED ONES
intentionally surround yourself with people who help you regulate your stress vs add to it. The feeling of being safe and supported can’t ever be underestimated 

PRIORITIZE DEEP REST 
at the end of the day, practicing good sleep hygiene and prioritizing rest can be the best thing you do for your mind and body. These restorative moments allow for your nervous system to truly reset and recover 

Be sure to SAVE this post for whenever you may need it this holiday season and share it if you feel like it would be helpful to anyone you know! 💕

It’s the beginning of the most wonderful time of year and my absolute favorite holiday🎄❤️

I know Nov 1st may seem a little early to start celebrating the Christmas season for some but I always feel like this time of year flies by too fast. So decorating our home early and starting all the fun Christmas baking, crafts and festive activities feels like a special way to make the most of the holidays ❤️

Who else will be spending the weekend decorating?

The person who sent you this wants to have a spooky date night in to celebrate Halloween 🎃

Halloween isn’t my fav holiday but I do love a themed cozy evening with my favorite person… and it feels even more special these days as new parents. So we decided to have a SPOOKY date complete with homemade pizzas (with ghost shaped mozzarella), blackberry smash cocktails, a candle painting craft, pumpkin ice cream, and a rewatch of “Haunting of Bly Manor” 🖤 

PS: I’m not a big horror movie fan but this show is such a well done metaphor of how grief can haunt you and the tone feels much more gothic romance than classic jump scares 

Anywaaay, after tomorrow I’m looking forward to decorating our home for Christmas and you can expect lots of cozy, whimsical ideas to savor and celebrate the holiday season coming soon ☺️

Lily was invited to her first Halloween party yesterday so we obviously had to dress up as one of the most iconic, creepy + kooky families ever! And I know I’m so biased but I don’t think I’ve seen a cuter Wednesday Addams 🥹

Such a fun way to celebrate spooky season (and a pretty easy family costume if you’re in need of something last minute!) 

But what do you guys think? Is it creepy or cute? 👇🏼
