The best views always come after the hardest climb

The best views always come after the hardest climbs. 🏔☀️ Swipe for some favorite moments from this morning’s gorgeous hike in Boulder. 🥾💕 1200ft elevation gain, 2.6 miles and endless tacos later… I guess you can say it’s been a pretty perfect kind of Sunday.

Living for peaceful self care moments like this 💦☀️ Still pinching myself that this state park is practically in my backyard and definitely plan to be back often. Normally we take the pups canoeing but I wanted to try paddle boarding again and it was so fun. 🎉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus it was the perfect opp to wear this new sharp green sporty swimsuit and flutter shorts by @caliabycarrie. I love how breezy the material is and the swimsuit design is great for water sports like this.

Let this be a reminder that you don’t always have to have all the answers. Your 5 year plan can (and most likely will) change. Do what you love, live with passion, challenge yourself and enjoy each new opportunity that comes your way.

Just a colorful plate of all the “last” random things in my fridge (because someone needs to go grocery shopping 😅). Tbh random lunches like these are kind of my fav. This one features an overripe avocado 🥑 on homemade sourdough bread, pan fried halloumi cheese, tomatoes 🍅 , roasted broccoli and a hard boiled egg. #MelsMeals #HealthyEats

A little post farmer’s market snack break with m

A little post farmer’s market snack break with my fav Air Dried Veggie Crisps from @dirtkitchensnacks because I’m all about eating more plants. 🌿🍅 In fact, some of you may remember that a year before our wedding Bay and I decided to switch up our diet and try out being pescatarian. I stuck with it for the past few years and even though I have since incorporated some poultry back into my diet, I have maintained a very “plant forward” approach to eating.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s honestly given me such an amazing sense of balance without ever feeling restricted or like I’m missing out. 😊️👏🏻 There are days when I’ll eat entirely vegetarian while other days I have chicken on my tacos or cheese with my wine. 🍷 When it comes to snacks, having things like @dirtkitchensnacks in my pantry helps me reach for more veggies in between the bigger meals. 🥒🫑🥕 I love that the ingredients are simple and that they use “rescued veggies” for their Air Dried Veggie Crisps to help reduce food waste.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to my diet, I always want to go with something that is sustainable -- and eating lots of plants is something I want to prioritize for the rest of my life! 👍🏻 I love the way it makes me feel and it’s not super intimidating when you make small swaps or little efforts to incorporate more veggies into your routine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone else feel the same way? 🙋🏻‍♀️ What veggies are your favorites? #DigInWithDKS #Sponsored

Mornings are for “me time” and once a week tha

Mornings are for “me time” and once a week that includes taking a little time to pause, relax and let my hair soak up all the nourishing oils in @BondiBoost’s Miracle Hair Mask. 💕 A month ago I shared that I’m trying out the Bondi Boost Hair Growth System and out of all the products I’m using, this hair mask is my absolute favorite! It smells so good (kind of sweet) and is packed with nutritious oils including castor, argan and macadamia oil.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s one of those products where you notice an immediate difference and it always leaves my hair feeling super soft and smooth. 👏🏻👏🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of their products are vegan friendly, cruelty free, and made without parabens, silicones or sulfates. I linked this one in my stories! ✨ If you’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors or at the pool/beach this summer, your locks are going to LOVE you for trying this. #BoostYourRoots #Sponsored
