It’s #workoutwednesday and the theme today is all about MOBILITY. (requested by @e__marie__ )🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mobility is the ability for your joints to move actively through their entire range of motion and requires a level of strength, stability and flexibility. Good mobility makes exercises (and every day life activities) so much easier and helps prevent injury.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are lots of different #mobilityexercises you can add into your routine but the ones in the video are some of my personal favorites that I’ve included in yoga classes 🧘🏻‍♀️✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Move SLOWLY through each one (the video is sped up) and repeat each movement for 30 seconds before moving onto the next.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leave a comment with what you’d like to see next week! 👇🏼

Introducing… the perfect Spring sourdough for your next garden party (and yes, the paint is edible 😋)

Major shoutout to my husband for baking this homemade loaf of bread for me to experiment on. The food coloring was a bit more runny than expected but nevertheless, I LOVE how this turned out and it might just be one of my favorite lil diy projects ever 🌸🎨 And bonus, we now have a yummy loaf of bread to eat for the rest of the week!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Painting is such a lovely mindful activity and I hope this inspires you to get creative with your next art session too 💕. Let me know in the comments if you’ll be giving this a go!

If you want to turn these 6 into a circuit, one way o do that is to do each one for 30 seconds with a 10 second rest in between for 3 sets.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I figured this could be a fun little #WorkoutWednesday series where I’ll share some of my favorite exercises, yoga poses, and stretches with you all based on whatever you vote for each week. 🔥

Coming in hot with 5 of my favorite simple, plant based breakfast ideas! #ad 🫐🍌🍓This is how I remix my breakfast by swapping dairy products for @silk Almondmilk! You’re gonna want to SAVE this for later!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of you know that I follow a very plant-forward diet and swapping out dairy for plant milk, especially in recipes like the ones you see here, has been one of the easiest switches I’ve made. In fact, I actually much prefer almond milk in things like my smoothies and oatmeal because the consistency and taste are better IMO.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Pick up Silk AlmondMilk at your local Target and get 10% off with Target Circle between 3.19-4.1.23✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’d love to know which of these breakfast ideas you’ve already made the swap for and I’d love to see how you remix your own breakfast with Silk Almondmilk by using the tag #silkremix! https://lnk2.io/wJWd5yF #silkalmond #silktarget

NEW ON THE BLOG: 10 lessons from 5 years of entrepreneurship. ✨🪩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This month marks five years since I left the corporate marketing world and my position as a digital strategist in favor of being a full time content creator.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What started as a fun side hustle while I worked at a busy PR firm in NYC has transformed into a multiple six-figure business. Something that my younger self, the girl who grew up without wealth and worked several retail jobs to help pay for college, could never have imagined was possible.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my blog post, I’m giving you an inside look at some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned while building this non-traditional career. From dealing with loneliness, creative burnouts, and crippling imposter syndrome, to the joys of hiring a team, dream partnerships, beautiful friendships, and connecting with over 150k people across multiple platforms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know so many of you also have chosen a non-traditional career and I hope my learnings can be helpful as you continue on your path. If you continue to trust in yourself and put in the work, there is truly NOTHING you can’t accomplish.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m feeling all kinds of emotional so want to say a big thank YOU for your support 💕. Whether you’ve been here for a few minutes or since my @melyoga1 days, my only hope is that my little corner of the internet has brought you something of value or a tiny bit of joy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have no idea what the next 5 years will bring but for now, I’ll take it day by day and am grateful to be sharing it with all of you ✨
