If you’re planning a trip to Sevilla, I rounded up my top tips depending on whether you’re in town for a short trip, a longer stay, and some of the things I wish I’d known. 

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having a wonderful week so far! This is the last post in my travel series (we did a cruise to Spain, Italy and France + time in Barcelona and four weeks in Sevilla) and things will return to our regularly scheduled programming around here. You know, until I plan my next unhinged trip lol.

Today I wanted to share some of the things I’ve learned about Sevilla: things to know, favorite restaurants/spots, and tips I had to learn the hard way. I’ve broken it up into two segments; the first is if you’re planning a shorter trip (a week or so) and for longer trips (3-4+ weeks).

Tips for traveling to Sevilla, Spain

Short trip:

Language:

If you’re traveling to Spain, I think it’s absolutely worth learning key phrases you’ll be using. This book is extremely helpful and I also recommend working with a tutor if possible. Josep is my current tutor and he is amazing! While I’ve found that quite a few people in Spain know English, many don’t. It’s worth knowing at least how to get where you want to go in a taxi, how to order food and drinks, ask for the bill, ask where the bathrooms are located, make polite conversation, etc.

Also worth noting that in Sevilla, they’ll use condensed versions of phrases, which is casual and fun:

– Por favor (please) = porfa (I didn’t personally use this one because it feels kind of cutesy but definitely heard it)

– Hasta luego (see you later) = a luego

– Buenos días (good morning) = buenas (but you can say buenas any time of day instead of hola for hello)

– Gracías (thank you) = gracía

Also expect to hear and u

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re celebrating my nana’s 90th birthday (!), going to dinner at our friends’ house tomorrow night, and family dinner at our house on Sunday. I love summer so much. Kids in AZ go back to school super early – early August – so we’re trying to live up this last month as much as possible.

*Heads up, still lots of time to enter this week’s giveaway! One lucky winner will get a Lumebox and some of my fave wellness goodies.

Pasta salad and steak night!

Here’s what I put in the pasta salad:

– NOW Foods quinoa pasta

– Roasted red pepper

– Cucumber

– Artichoke hearts

– kalamata olives

– Feta

– Fresh mint and basil

– Seasoned it with leftover pesto, olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, and oregano. I made a giant batch and we all snacked on it for a few days.

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

Hi friends! I have a new solo podcast episode going live, and in it, I’m sharing a practice that has become a cornerstone of my quarterly health routine: the EquiLife Detox. This episode dives into why supporting your body’s natural detoxification pathways is more critical than ever in our modern environment.

The podcast is on Youtube now – check out the video here!

185: How A Detox Can Help Holistically

Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re diving into in this episode:

• What a detox truly entails (moving beyond restrictive juice cleanses) and why seasonal detox support can benefit nearly everyone experiencing fatigue, hormonal imbalances, allergies, or unexplained symptoms.
• The reality of daily toxin exposure from our food, water, air, and common products, and how this overload can manifest as symptoms like brain fog, stubborn weight, and skin issues.
• The science behind Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver detoxification, explaining why supporting both is essential for effective toxin elimination and to avoid common “detox flu” symptoms.
• My personal experience with the detox, detailing observed benefits such as increased energy, clearer skin, deeper sleep, and a significant reset of cravings.
• A discussion on why natural detoxification can be challenging in today’s environment due to pervasive toxins and depleted nutrient content in food.
• My favorite modification tips for the detox, covering strategies for adjusting fasting days, incorporating additional fuel, and navigating coffee consumption.
• and so.much.more!
