What I’m Loving Lately 85

Goooooood morning and happy Friday, friends! I can’t believe Memorial Day weekend is already here! Obviously, I AM PUMPED, but, whoa, I feel like it came out of nowhere! Well, sort of. The weather here has been all over the place lately – one day it’s summer, the next day it’s spring, and then we’re back to winter. Mother Nature needs to make up her mind already! Anyway, I’m excited to “officially” kick off the best season of the year! Bring on summer! Since it’s Friday and all, it’s time for the next edition of What I’m Loving Lately – where I share some of my very favorite things from the week. And I am especially excited about this round-up because I am seriously in love/obsessed with a number of these items!

It can be overly simplistic to say that the modern world has stunted our movement abilities and capacities, but it’s an easy contrast to see that spending hours at a desk is significantly different than the same amount of hours walking and foraging. The necessities of our lives now can make our hips less functional as our hips stiffen and weaken from prolonged seden

This post is sponsored by Swanson Health Products, but all opinions are my own. I’m so excited to tell you all about being on Access Hollywood Live! As I have mentioned before, I am representing Swanson Health Products as their spokesblogger on this media tour in L.A. We kicked things off with the biggest interview at Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday morning. We checked in at the door (did you know Bachelorette Rachel had been there just a few hours before!?) and were led back to my dressing room and the green room, seen here: When we first discussed the details for me to do this tour with Swanson, all of my questions were regarding hair, makeup, and wardrobe, as I knew I’d be able to do the interview part just fine I was really glad to hear they had someone come do my hair and makeup for me. My stylist, Crystal , did a wonderful job! I asked for beachy waves, and she delivered : ) The lashes were quite impressive since I barely have any to begin with. I was a fan! I change
