The Friday 5

Image
Hi, friends! Happy Friday to you! 🙂 What a week, right? My head is still spinning from the post-new year craziness and my one million item To Do list. Yeehaw! Thankfully, I had some time to put together this blog post with my top favorites from the week. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂 Chatting with Taylor about ALL things macros on The Trillest Podcast – I was recently on the The Trillest Podcast talking about macros with Taylor (one of the co-hosts). She signed up for one of my macro plans with me as her coach, so she shares her experience in this episode. Tune in to see what she had to say! Chocolate Donut Seasoning  – Zero -calorie Chocolate Donut Seasoning? It sounds too good to be true, right? Well, this stuff is the bomb, and I love putting it on apple slices, rice cakes with peanut butter, and so much more. If you like chocolate and donuts (I mean, who doesn’t?), you need this seasoning in your life! Touchup Skin Concealer Pen – This product is definitely one of the unsun

Are We Overly Obsessed with Healthy Eating?

Are We Overly Obsessed with Healthy Eating? It’s impossible to generalize about this, but readers may be interested in an article in the Boston Globe Magazine by Jenai Engelhard, in which I was quoted: Is our obsession with healthy eating out of control? from Perfect Health Diet http://bit.ly/2FjfQ67

5 Factoids from the Week

Hi, guys! Does anyone else use the word “factoids” in there everyday life or is it kind of weird? I wrote the title for this blog post and thought maybe it was a bit strange, but I actually use the word from time-to-time. But, hey, that’s just me letting my freak flag fly. Ha! Anyway, I just wanted to share some random “factoids” from the week! 🙂 1. Kindergarten registration was this week , and I can’t believe my baby is off to school next year – riding the bus and being a big kid. Oh my gosh, time sure does fly! (I’m not crying, you’re crying!) 2. We booked a vacation to Punta Cana! Mal and I have been talking about taking a tropical vacation for years now. We actually wanted to do one for our 10th wedding anniversary last summer, but it didn’t work out. We are beyond excited to visit the Club Med in Punta Cana this July! We picked this resort based off recommendations as well as it being super kid-friendly and all-inclusive. 3. I finally organized the recipes on Carrots

My Mom Uniform

The most glamorous thing I wear everyday is my baby. Obvi. I couldn’t survive motherhood without my Solly wrap ! This post by Sherry of Young House Love really struck a nerve with me earlier this year. I have paired down my closet so many times as I have gotten more and more into minimalism. Yet I still only wear about 30% of my wardrobe during regular weeks. This paragraph from Sherry’s post was what spoke to me the most: That’s the core idea behind my “uniform” – just figuring out what you love and stopping the vicious cycle of buying other things to stay “on trend” or for the sake of “variety” or to “look different” and then realizing months later that you never wear them because they don’t make you feel as good or you don’t like the cut or the color nearly as much as your tried and true favorites. The “for variety’s sake” part of her post spoke to me loud and clear. I tend to hang on to so many pieces “just in case” a certain occasion comes along, or worse, so I am not ph
