Number 1 perk of WFH life? 💁🏻‍♀️Being able to wear soft and cozy intimates like these pieces from @JCpenney’s Ambrielle collection allll morning long.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In order to create structure for myself I started to dedicate certain days for certain tasks (aka task batching). During my admin days which are dedicated to emails, writing, planning sessions, blogging etc -- I ditch the real clothes and am all about keeping it real comfy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Ambrielle bralette, pajama shorts and robe combo has been on repeat for all my admin days and I’m obsessed. ❤️ The material is so soft, easy to layer and provides the right level of support for a day behind the scenes. They offer so many sizes, shapes and colors in their collection so there’s guaranteed to be something for everyone!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m curious. Do you stick to pjs and loungewear on certain days at home or are you getting fully dressed every work day? 🤔 Spill the deets below. #AllAtJCP #Sponsored

One of the most beautiful lessons yoga taught me w

One of the most beautiful lessons yoga taught me was how to find peace within discomfort. ✨ And that applies to challenging myself on the mat (or in this case, while holding myself upside down on aerial silks 🙃) and also by mindfully working through trials that come within life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I read a quote that said “𝐁𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧-𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭.” and that couldn’t be a more beautiful sentiment. Without moments of discomfort and defeat, we can’t truly appreciate moments of triumph and happiness. 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here’s to being human and embracing the ups and downs life throws our way. It’s a life long journey to find peace within the challenges we face and I’m here working on that, one day at a time. #MyThoughts #MelDoesYoga

You can do both. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Heal

You can do both.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healthy living shouldn’t be a life of restriction, obsession and rigorous control. It’s not the number on a scale — it’s your mental state when you’re around food, the “why” behind a workout, and the grace you give yourself if you “fall off track.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I like my pizza and wine 🍷 as much as I love my avocado toast and green juice 🌱.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I’m craving a sweaty workout class and other days I’d rather just take a long walk with the pups 🐶.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love my athleisure + sneakers just as much as I adore dressing up and wearing heels 👠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Doing a full intentional, productive morning routine is lovely but there are days when I sleep in 😴 and skip ahead straight to emails.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you give yourself room to find the right balance that makes you feel good mentally, physically and emotionally — that’s when true health begins.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it should be something that works for YOU (not necessarily the girl next to you). #MyThoughts #HealthyLiving

Celebrating the new season with a sunset picnic in

Celebrating the new season with a sunset picnic in the park with one of my fav fellow entrepreneurs! 🧺 @astepfullofyou and I brought all the goods — cheese, crackers, nuts, chocolate tarts, and the cutest mini bottles of @lamarcaprosecco!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last month I had an opportunity to speak on a panel with some badass female entrepreneurs and one of them shared the best way to combat loneliness (and also stay sane) as a small biz owner is to surround yourself with other women who do the same thing or just "get you." Honestly, I couldn't agree more. Being able to share ideas, vent frustrations, and even just have someone to co-work with is a life saver in this business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm thankful to have met so many inspiring ladies, like Helen, during my time as a wellness blogger and def have to raise a glass to all the amazing people in my life who have helped me grow creatively! 🥂 You all are the true MVPs.

Whipped up this Fall Harvest Salad of my dreams for lunch and I definitely will be having this on repeat throughout this season. 👏🏻 It's made with a few of my favorite ingredients, including @oceansprayinc’s Craisins® 50% Less Sugar Dried Cranberries!! #ad These are an absolute staple this time of year and I love adding them to baked goods, salads and even some savory dinners. Who else is a Craisins® Dried Cranberries fan?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Salad Ingredients:
Kale
Roasted Sweet Potato
Roasted Chickpeas
Pepitas
Pecans
Herbed Goat Cheese
Craisins® Dried Cranberries
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simply cut 1 sweet potato and add to baking sheet with chickpeas (be sure to pat dry). 🍠 Season with olive oil, salt, pepper and spices of your choice. Roast in oven at 425 for 15 minutes or until crispy. Meanwhile, de-stem and massage kale with olive oil and salt. Add kale, roasted sweet potato + chickpeas to a bowl and top with pepitas, goat cheese, pecans and the Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries.
