9/27: Friday Faves
Floral denim. I got this pair at Old Navy (they’re $19 now!), and they’re perfect with a chambray button-up. Justin’s nut butter single packs. I always have one in my work backpack or purse, just for emergencies. The hazelnut chocolate rocks my world. This exfoliating cleanser. I went into LUSH to pick some up,…

9/20: Friday Faves
-Not a fave: Livi looking way too grown up. It’s a cliche for a reason: time flies when you’re having fun. She steals my heart every single day <3 -These GF cookies. I had to convince myself to save some for Livi because um, they go down way too easily. -The most legendary StitchFix…

9/13: Friday faves
-A reunion with Mexican food. Since we all decided that I’m not about to attempt the glorious Italian food we ate -guess we’ll just have to go back one day!- I’m sticking with what I know. Like enchis. I had a little helper in the kitchen, and there’s no doubt that she made them even…

8/23: Friday Faves
-Hula-ing with these lovely ladies at the dance show last night. We did a hula/Tahitian dance, and the costumes were SO fun. I kind of felt like a rainforest fairy… or something. The pizza and cocktails after the show weren’t too shabby, either 😉 -This LUSH face mask. I’ve tried out quite a few of…

Brownie Fruit Pizza
I finally started packing… This means I have a pile of travel-sized things + Reebok clothes and shoes, ready to be stuffed into a suitcase. Bella wants to know where we’re going on vacation, and Caro… well, poor Caro is just freaked out from the monsoon storms. We’re having a little dinner party at our…

-First things first: it’s nana’s birthday! We love you and are all so lucky to have you, nana. (Or in Liv’s case, “NANI!”) Happy, happy birthday! <3 (I can’t believe how itty bitty Liv is here) -Pho to-go! Since our fridge didn’t have anything of dinner quality when we got back -just left some basic…

So fresh and green
There’s something so exciting about using herbs from your own garden for dinner. It also makes me feel very Ina Garten, which few things have the ability to do. Source Anyway, not only do fresh herbs add an awesome boost of flavor, homegrown herbs even more aromatic than storebought. It made me so excited to…

5 All-time Fave Books
This post has nothing to do with food or fitness, but it’s fun to step out of the box every now and again 😉 I have this weird book thing going on lately. I’ll start a book, finish half of it, and be done. It’s been a little while since I’ve finished an entire book,…

Kombucha update + NEW Ab burner
I’m not going to say I wasn’t a little freaked out to taste the kombucha. The scoby looked totally healthy with no signs of mold, but there were definitely more strands of bacteria floating around in there. It’s pretty amazing how much the liquid changes in a course of 10 days, and the new baby…

Things of lately
-The BEST hot yoga class- the kind that gets into your heart and soul. The kind where you do things that you didn’t know you could do. Also the kind where you last-minute save yourself from losing teeth when the instructor suggests bringing your head to the floor during crow pose. [Practicing with friends who…

Some things you may not know about the Pilot: -He minored in Italian -He grew up in Arkansas and Alabama -He’s the third generation of military pilots in his family (His dad and grandfather–pretty incredible resemblance, huh?) -He doesn’t like quinoa… or squash. I knew all of the above facts except for the last one,…
