This is a 25-minute barre workout you can do anywhere. All you need is a set of light dumbbells, 2-5 lbs. Check out more of my barre workouts here, barre bootcamp here, and how to combine barre with other workouts. Hi friends! I hope you’re having a lovely morning. How is your week going? The Pilot has been gone since last weekend and is back this morning, so I’m looking forward to having him home. He’s been flying a lot, which is a good thing. When I first wrote this post, we were officially wrapping up our first year of…
Sharing some of my favorite fashion finds from Abercrombie! Hi friends! How are ya? I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I have another day stacked full of appointments and calls. I’m hoping I can sneak in a yoga class this afternoon. For today’s post, I wanted to share some recent Abercrombie finds!! TBH, Abercrombie has been cruuuussshhhiinggg it lately. It’s funny because the other night, we were talking about old jobs and how I used to work at Abercrombie in college. (At one point, I had four jobs: fragrance rep at Dillard’s, Abercrombie, Victoria’s Secret, and teaching dance classes.)…
I stumbled across a reddit thread that really grabbed my attention. Somebody asked “What was the ‘one thing’ that finally made weight loss work for you?” And this question had 5,400 replies (and counting). Some of the answers involved environmental changes or changing how they prepared their food: “Pouring snacks into little ramekins to eat them. Suddenly I ate a normal amount of snacks.” “I meal prepped my typical amount of food and instead of putting it in 2 containers, I spread it evenly in 4 containers. I forced myself to only eat 1 container per meal and tricked my…
It’s been a while since I’ve felt this uncomfortable. I had an empty afternoon last week and saw Speak No Evil (trailer here), a horror/suspense film about a family who goes to visit another couple they met on vacation. And shockingly, things don’t go as expected. If you saw the “Dinner Party” episode of The Office where Jim and Pam go to Michael and Jan’s house for the most uncomfortable house party ever, and thought to yourself… “What if this was a 2-hour horror movie instead?” …that’s essentially the plot of Speak No Evil. This movie is based on a…
Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live today, sharing some follow-up thoughts after a recent reel. Also a friendly reminder to talk to a medical provider before making health decisions and do what’s best for you. No shame from me; live your best life.

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re heading to the pumpkin patch with friends, taking the crew to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Liv has dance, and I’m teaching a barre class. I’m also looking forward to working through my High Performance Health certification. I’m sending prayers up for all of my friends affected by the recent hurricanes (first Helene and now Milton). The devastation has been heartbreaking to see, and I’m praying for safety for you and your family. It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share…
Sharing my favorite daily detox vegetable soup recipe. Hi friends! How are ya? Hope you’re having a lovely morning so far. The Pilot is off work today (!) so I’m looking forward to a morning hike and breakfast and coffee date. (You know, if both kids go to school. I feel like any time one of us books the day off, a kid stays home sick lol.) While Tucson is still warm and toasty, it’s official soup season. TBH, for me, all year is super season. It can be a blistering 115 outside, and I’m still inside eating a scalding…

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having a lovely morning. Today, I wanted to chat about the Senate Roundtable last week, which was titled, “American Health and Nutrition: A Second Opinion.” It included some of my favorite wellness professionals, influencers, and authors, and I was so excited to watch; it felt like my Super Bowl. 173: Senate Health Roundatable recap Here’s what I’m talking about today: -The speakers and their backgrounds (including Dr. Casey Means, Calley Means, Jillian Michaels, Vani Hari, Courtney Swan, and Max Lugavere) – Main takeaways – My thoughts – Why has the media been silent about…
