A walk among the sunflowers 🌻 and 5 simple life

A walk among the sunflowers 🌻 and 5 simple life lessons inspired by them that we can reflect on:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Follow the sunshine and do what makes you happy
✨ Start each day with fresh energy and enthusiasm
✨ Embrace your uniqueness and natural beauty
✨ Don’t compare your timing to others, bloom when you’re ready
✨ Welcome the rain, without it there’s no growth
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are these cheesy? Yes. But can they be important reminders to help us shift our mindset and ground ourselves? Absolutely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: For those asking, these sunflower fields are in Aurora right next to the Denver International Airport! They only bloom for a short time so I’m really thankful to have been able to witness them in all their glory.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌻Colorado truly is beautiful🌻

You all know my Summer Steps Walk Challenge is going strong and I’ve officially put all of these outfits to the test during my morning walks and loveee them. 👟💕They’re so cute and comfy but I also appreciate how versatile they are! I’m definitely wearing the onesie to all my yoga and pilates classes and the shorts + top combo is perfect for paddleboarding or even a hike!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m 33 years old, never had Botox or fillers, but def take my skincare regimen v seriously 💁🏻‍♀️. In my mid-twenties I started switching over to clean, cruelty-free beauty products and the difference I’ve seen in my skin has been wild.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love seeing so many non-toxic & cruelty free options in places like Sephora and Ulta now 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do switch up products often as I’m always testing new things out but here are my current morning picks (all from tried and true brands that I’m obsessed with)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ @alpynbeauty plantgenius melt moisturizer
✨ @byroe_official rose tea eye cream
✨ @biossance Squalane & rose oil

An ode to summers in Colorado and all the vibrant,

An ode to summers in Colorado and all the vibrant, warm memories it brings. ☀️💖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s really nothing more therapeutic than allowing yourself to slow down and notice all the beauty around you. If being surrounded by nature has taught me anything, it’s that there is much more peace in learning to embrace rest and playfulness, than striving for constant productivity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can work hard and also make time for chasing sunsets, spending time with the people we love and making new memories. 🌿✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Less than 50 days left of summer — let’s make the most of it

Idk about you but going to the Farmer’s Market on Sunday mornings has quickly become my favorite summer activity. 🌸☀️ it’s a great way to support local businesses while also stocking up on fresh produce and other favorite goodies for the week ahead!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I particularly love the one on South Pearl Street in Denver although I hear the one in Boulder is pretty amazing
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what we typically stock up on:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Palisade peaches
✨ Greens (this time it was rainbow chard)
✨ Tomatoes, squash and peppers
✨ Fresh bread
✨ Sati Cold Brew (love their Samoa cookie one!)
✨ Jam and Almond butter
✨ Artisanal pasta
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who else is obsessed with going to the farmers market?

National Watermelon Day is right around the corner

National Watermelon Day is right around the corner (Aug 3rd) and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a fruity, refreshing Watermelon Breeze Smoothie from @jambajuice! 🍉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jamba was my go-to smoothie spot all through college and I still love treating myself to their sips because 1) they’re delicious and 2) hello nostalgia! 🥰 It’s been SO hot here in Colorado and lemme tell you, taking this smoothie with me to the park was 100% the best idea ever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you wanna try it yourself, you can get a medium Watermelon Breeze smoothie for just $5 on #NationalWatermelonDay when you use code: MELONDAY in-store, online or on the #Jamba app
