Sharing some of the habits that helped with my hormones, mood, sleep, energy, and life!
Hi friends! How are ya? I hope that you’re having an amazing morning so far. We’re living up some pool time and just getting caught up on the routine now that we’re back in town. While I love vacation mode, there’s something so lovely about getting back into your routine and the habits that make your feel your best.

What I do: I step outside when I let Mazer out in the morning (even if I look like a zombie), stand in the grass barefoot, take a few deep breaths, and just soak it in for 5–10 minutes. I also open all of the curtains and blinds as soon as we wake up to let sunlight into the house.

Why it matters:
