Homemade Plant-Based Milk with My Almond Cow
It’s no secret that I am enamored with my Almond Cow machine! You know when you find something and you wonder how you ever lived without it and you want to tell everyone you know about it? Well, that’s exactly how I feel about my Almond Cow!
Prioritizing Self Love
During this month focused around LOVE, I think it is the perfect time to bring the way we show ourselves love to center stage. It's time to flex those self-love muscles, ladies! Self-love is finally being talked about more often and instead of this perception that it is self-indulgent or selfish, we are starting to understand how vital self-care is to a healthy and balanced existence.
Setting Realistic Daily Fitness Goals
The New Year is one of my favorite times of year because it gives me the opportunity to recenter my goals and start fresh after enjoying the Holidaze! However, I have found I am only successful in seeing these goals through if I first dig deep and discover my WHY- my true purpose and intention for choosing certain goals. Your WHY needs to be deeply meaningful and specific to you. It should be something you can revisit throughout the year when you begin losing motivation and need to remind yourself why you wanted to create change in the first place.

The Natural Deodorant Difference

My Everyday Makeup Routine + Application Tips and Tricks!
I have always LOVED makeup ever since I was a little girl playing with my mom’s eye shadow and lipstick. In high school I was the girl who did all of my friends’ makeup for Prom and Ball! Then after college while I was living in LA, I was a makeup artist for Bobbi Brown and spent many years doing makeup for weddings all over Southern California. Makeup has always been a creative outlet for me and I love enhancing a woman’s own beauty and making people feel good about themselves.
My Favorite Activewear!
I basically live in activewear - whether I’m teaching in my studio, running errands, driving carpool, or just being at home! It’s my daily uniform and I am always on the lookout for outfits that are cute for everyday wear and also functional for LEVELING UP. With so many activewear brands on the market, it can be tricky to figure out which ones are really worth it, so today I’m sharing all of my favs with you! We all know that a cute new workout outfit equals a better workout, right?! So let’s LEVEL UP and look cute while doing it!
LEVEL UP Your Muscle Recovery
I don’t know about you, but my muscles are FEELIN’ it during our monthly Challenges! Working out day after day can leave us sore and fatigued, and muscle recovery plays a key role in helping us renew and rejuvenate so we can LEVEL UP every day!
What I Eat and Drink in a Day
Healthy eating is not just a means for weight management or weight loss- it is a consistent lifestyle choice that positively promotes our overall well-being and happiness. I know that I feel SO much more energized and better about myself when I’m fueling my body with delicious, nutrient-dense whole foods throughout the day!
Why I Use an Instant Pot (and think you should too!)
At first I was intimidated by the Instant Pot, but once I got the hang of it, I wondered how I ever lived without it! I’m no Instant Pot professional- let’s be very clear about that right off the bat- I literally only use the “pressure cook” setting but I have found that to be all I need!
