Looking for the perfect way to prepare for the wee

Looking for the perfect way to prepare for the week ahead? I swear by this 3 step #SundayReset because it always makes me feel so much more refreshed, productive and recharged before kicking off a new week ~ and it’s been especially helpful as a new mom 💕

1️⃣ Freshen up your space: this is the time to give your home a fresh start by doing a load of laundry, decluttering and/or buying yourself flowers to display 💐

2️⃣ Prep for the week: you all know I’m a planner so I love taking a few moments to map out the week ahead, plan workouts (and pencil them in or book them) and go grocery shopping

3️⃣ Rest & recharge: Sundays should also be a time of relaxation so check in with your body and mind to see what you’re craving! Maybe it’s a walk in a park, cozying up with a good book, taking a nap or meeting up with a friend for coffee.

#FordAmbassador You all know how much I love catching the sunrise and this morning’s solo date was just what I needed. 🌅

I drove my 2025 @ford Explorer® SUV to one of my favorite local parks and got there just in time to watch the sun come up over the reservoir. It was so quiet and peaceful – definitely worth the drive and the perfect way to start the day.

Now that the weather is warming up I’m excited to do this more often and bring my family with me for the next one! ☀️✨

If you see this post, just say hi 👋🏼! And maybe share a little something about yourself because I’d love to get to know you all! 💕🦋

Since it’s been SO long since I’ve shared some fun facts about myself, here are 🔟 things you may not know about me:

✨ I moved to Denver from NYC but before that I’ve lived in Florida, Germany, Korea, Oklahoma and Utah! (airforce brat over here 🙋🏻‍♀️)

✨ I’m half Korean, a quarter Ecuadorian and Swedish ~ but sadly I only speak English

✨ I started practicing yoga over a decade ago after a really traumatic breakup. It was the catalyst to adopting a healthy lifestyle and the reason I started my blog

✨ I’m obsessed with houseplants and currently have 30 different plants in my home 🌿

✨ I’ve always had way too many hobbies and love to try new things! But it also means I’m not particularly amazing at one thing 😅 Jill of all trades kinda vibes

✨ I rescued my pup Nina 12 years ago in Florida and my pup Chip in NYC 6 years ago! Advocating for pet adoption is super important to me and I follow/support a lot of rescue groups 🐶

✨ I’m a big dessert gal and baked goods (especially chocolate chip cookies) are my weakness

✨ June is my fav month, Fall is my fav season and Christmas is my fav holiday!

✨ I am a new mama to a beautiful baby girl after experiencing pregnancy loss a little over a year ago. She has brought so much joy into my life and I’ve never known a love quite like this ❤️

✨ I’m an ENFJ to a tee: energized by social interactions, an empath who makes decisions based on my values and emotions, organized and value structure/routines, and am always drawn to the “big picture”. Life is full of endless possibilities in my eyes

Let me know if we have anything in common!

Part 8 of Romanticizing Routines ~ a mini series where I’m sharing simple ways to make everyday moments just a little more intentional and special 💕

Now that Spring is in full bloom, one of the easiest ways to #romanticizeyourlife is to take pieces of your normal routine outdoors ~ because literally nothing feels more beautiful than brushing your teeth in the morning sunlight or drinking a matcha while surrounded by blooms 🌷🦋☀️

It’s not all about aesthetics either because getting outside for some fresh air and morning sunlight have been proven to do wonders for your mental wellbeing!

So even if all you do is step out for a few minutes of peace while you sip your morning beverage of choice, I highly encourage you to try this for yourself 🌼

{ps thank you for those who voted on my poll yesterday! I saw that this series is def a fan fav so I’ll be continuing it for awhile}

#AD 🎉 SWEEPSTAKES ALERT! 🎉Now that it’s getting warmer outside I’ve been VERY excited to start my mornings with cold brew. This Cinnamon Caramel Cold Brew is sooo good and the best part is, I can make it in the comfort of my own home instead of splurging at a coffee shop every day!

All you need is @stokcoldbrew and @silk cinnamon caramel plant-based cold foam — both of which you can pick up at your local @target (just in case you needed another reason to shop there hehe). If you want to be a little *extra* like me, you can make cold brew ice cubes and drizzle your glass with a caramel sauce of your choice.

And if Cinnamon Caramel isn’t your vibe, I highly recommend International Delight’s French Vanilla cold foam creamer too! I’ve partnered with International Delight, SToK, and Silk to give away a Home’Rista Kit to one lucky winner—you could be the one! ☕✨

Good luck! 💕#HomeRista_Sweepstakes

In honor of tomorrow being #EarthDay, I’m sharin

In honor of tomorrow being #EarthDay, I’m sharing 5 simple ways to reconnect with nature 🦋🌷🌼 because IMO it is the absolute BEST thing you can do for your overall physical and mental wellbeing

Making simple efforts to ground yourself, connect with your natural environment and get outdoors can significantly reduce stress, boost your mood & happiness, improve your cognitive function, and give you a deeper sense of relaxation and appreciation for life 💕

Which of the following are things you are hoping to do more of this season?

✨invite nature into your home with houseplants, natural elements, and lots of sunlight
✨make it a routine to get outdoors daily, whether for morning coffee on the porch or an evening stroll
✨foster curiosity by visiting your local botanic gardens or learning more about your local plants & wildlife
✨appreciate the change in seasons by eating seasonal produce, decorating your home, or making a Spring bucket list
✨ tend to garden, whether in your own backyard or as part of a community

Be sure to save this post for inspo or share with your friends & family to inspire others to celebrate Earth Day with even the simplest of shifts 🌷🍒☀️

Happy Easter from our family to yours 🐰🥕 E

Happy Easter from our family to yours 🐰🥕

Every holiday feels extra special as new parents and our first time as a family of 5 (swipe for Chip 🐶). This has us extra excited for years to come where we get to play “Easter bunny” and have an egg hunt, make fun treats together and teach her the true meaning of Easter ✝️

For now we settled on a golden hour photoshoot for the mems and a cozy morning at home. She will get to open her Easter basket of teething rings and a plush carrot toy after her nap — and even though she won’t remember a thing, we certainly will 💕

PS: swipe to the end for the reality of what happens when you plan a photoshoot way too close to your baby’s bedtime 😅

#MatchaLOVEPartner 🌷 Welcome back to Romanticizing Routines, a mini series where I’m sharing small ways to make ordinary moments feel a little more intentional and special ✨

PART 7: Have afternoon tea

Most of us reach for a little pick me up midday (or at least I know I do ☺️) so why not turn it into a little more of a special treat?

You all know how much I love matcha so when I found out @matchalove released these matcha + green tea blends I knew I had to check them out! They come in 5 flavors and are sooo yummy!! I love how the cans make it super convenient to enjoy whether I’m at home or on the go

My personal favs are the Strawberry and Passionfruit but it’s hard to go wrong with any. You can shop these on Amazon!

Tell me which flavor you’d most like to try: Unsweetened, Ginger, Passionfruit, Strawberry or Sweetened. 🍵

And 10/10 recommend making edible flower ice cubes to make your afternoon tea just a little more magical 🌸

Perhaps the reason we are drawn to flowers is not only for their outer beauty, but because they remind us that beautiful things will bloom after the longest seasons of waiting 🌼🦋🌷

✨SELF-CARE SESSIONS✨ This is your sign to have a girls day out and do something that will fill up your cup

As a new mom it can be challenging to find time for self care, especially if it involves leaving the house 😅. But whenever I make it happen, I come home feeling so recharged and can give so much more of myself to my family 💕

Sooo in an effort to do this a little more regularly (maybe once a month?), I’m going to be sharing some fun wellness hot spots and treatments that you can do if you are also in need of a little self care pick me up!

I LOVED being able to kick things off with a mom’s day out at the newly opened @edenhealthclubs in Greenwood Village where we were spoiled with so many of their amazing treatments including:

🦋 InBody Scan
💪🏻Full body Strength workout
❤️Sauna & Red Light therapy
💉 B12 Immunity Injection
🧖🏻‍♀️ Mini Facial
☀️ Brain tap & leg compression

If you’re in Denver you can use my code: Melanie4C4E for $50 off any of their services

Excited to bring you along to another wellness spot soon!
