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.) He was like, “Whatever happened to Abercrombie?” and I informed him that they made the most strategic move ever: marketing towards moms who used to shop there in high school and college.

They’re really elevated their pieces and give more of a Reformation-ish vibe. Everything I’ve bought from Abercrombie recently has fit well and has exceptional quality for the cost. They have SO much cute items for fall and I wanted to share some of my top picks in today’s post!

25-minute Barre Strength Workout with dumbbells (video)

Web Admin / Thursday, October 17, 2024 0 263 Article rating: No rating

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 the airline life. I’d always envisioned throwing a giant party, but that ‘Rona had other plans. Instead, we settled for a smaller but still just as enjoyable backyard BBQ with the family.

25-Minute Barre Strength Workout With Dumbbells

I filmed a new workout for you and this one is a classic barre workout with a little twist: we’re using dumbbells the entire time.

Full Body Workout With Dumbbells

This dumbbell workout is a great way to add in an arm component while our legs are on fiiiiiiire and an easy way to add some extra resistance and challenge. Best of all, you can do it right in your living room!

I was huffing and puffing during this workout and I hope you love it, too! It felt like a solid mix of endurance strength and cardio.

Pin it here for a rainy day:

And here’s the full follow-along video!

I’ve been working on posting videos more frequently, so please subscribe to YouTube channel if you’d like an update when I post something new.

Please let me know if you give this one a try. Also, I’d love to hear if you have any workout requests for the summer months!

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by the blog.

all of the things I’ve leaned about eye care in the past year and a half

Sharing some of the random and important things I’ve learned in my eye journey since the great saga, a year and a half ago.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing day so far! I have client calls all day long, so I have my beverages next to me (Organifi green, decaf Danger coffee with Malk, and water with citrus LMNT) and I’m ready.to.go. My plan is to get in a little movement vitamins in between calls to shake out my legs a bit.

(Jeans are on sale here // sweater is Farm Rio)

For today’s post, I wanted to chat about eyes! I think many of you can relate, but whenever I’m going through something (or someone in the family is), I learn as much as possible about this topic. I read as many books as I can get my hands on, binge through podcasts, scour threads and articles online. I become hyperfocused and my whole life is consumed by this entire topic, learning as much as I possibly can.

I feel like I could do TEDx talks on a few random topics, from Sensory Processing Disorder (something one of the kids went through years ago and is completely resolved), affiliate marketing, pelvic floor and Diastasis Recti, lifestyle and nutrition for auotimmune symptoms, and after the past year, I feel like MGD, dry eye, and blepharitis are.my.jam.

While I was learning about eye health (so I could get my own dang eyes under control), I came across nuggets and strategies that have made a huge difference for me, so I thought I’d share them today.

Please keep in mind that this is not medical advice. Always talk to your doctor before making any changes; I’m just sharing my own experience.

For more about my eye situation, check out the full podcast episode here. (I need to do a follow-up episode because at this point in time, my Lupus markers were positive, but when we re-tested last December after I made HUGE changes in my life, they were negative.)

Hi friends! How are you? How was the weekend? Ours was a great one. We went to the pumpkin patch with friends, enjoyed dinner with the fam, saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and I got some prep work done for an upcoming trip to Orlando. I’d love to hear what you were up to!

A small thing that has been bringing me joy lately: changing up my skincare routine. I started using Oliveda products at the beginning of the year (when I could tell that things with Beautycounter were heading south, I knew I’d need a replacement) and I’ve been blown away by the quality, ingredients, and results.

I LOVED the Beautycounter products and was happy for many years. At the same time, I feel like this is a step up from Beautycounter. The products feel even more luxe with a similar dedication to quality ingredients, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin since I started using the products.

The lighting is different, but check out how much my WTF lines have changed!

For today’s post, I wanted to share some of my latest faves:

(since the products are so popular, they’re sometimes sold out. The company has grown exponentially and they’re drastically increasing inventory this year. If you’d like me to notify you when something is back in stock, leave a comment below, or I’m happy to share similar recs if something you want is OOS.)

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 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.

(A huge highlight of the week was snuggling our new baby niece! We took lunch to Trevor and Danielle and got to spend some time with them. It was the best.)
