That’s right! The cutie The Simply Real Health Cookbook is now officially available at Nordstrom! (Yup, cue all the squeals). The books are on Nordstrom online (check it out here) and on shelves in the home department at the following locations: downtown Seattle, Bellevue Square, Northgate and Southcenter. Do you think we can make them sell […]

Ok, first of all. Before we get started, I have to admit something to you. For the last 3 years, I’ve been so anti all things essential oils. Like, YEARS people. I’d GIANT EYE ROLL at people that claimed that they helped “cure” anything from eye infections to shoulder injuries. You know the same people, […]

Well, happy Monday indeed. You guys already know about my obsession with podcasts. The business, life and healthy ones especially (shocker). Truth: I listen to at least one a day on my drives, daily walk, or while cooking, because why not learn something new? And it’s not everyday that I get to BE (!!) on […]

A few of things (ok, fine all the things) I am loving this fall, that are helping to keep me healthy, inspired and on top of my game this season. And full of joy. Because, one without the other is just no way to live. In the categories of ADORN, FUN NEW THINGS TO TRY, […]

So, you probably already know this if you follow my instagram stories, or instagram, or blog.. or actually anything I do. Ha. But I love Trader Joe’s. It’s kinda like a secret little guilty pleasure. The fancy lady/serious foodie in me knows that of course, I should only shop at sustainable, local places all the […]

So, warning. Full permission to skip this one, this week. This is a much longer post than usual, but is one that is also so close to my heart. It’s something that for so long, I felt funny and slightly embarrassed to share or talk about (you’ll see why, below). So, I know it won’t resonate […]

  >> See all the details here<<  FACT: A better relationship to food (more joy, more grace, less guilt, and less extremes) will change your whole life, and everything that comes after it.  This much I know is true, and is so much a part of my own story and journey that I know I […]

Ok, be HONEST. How many of you have muttered the words (out loud, or to yourself) something like this in the last week: “that’s it! no more summer nightly wine/ice cream!” or “hey babe, wanna go vegan with me for a month?” Just guessing. I mean, I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t use […]

10 years ago, I– no joke, thought I was really healthy. I worked out everyday, and was always trying to stay on top of the next new thing in food trends (vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, low carb, low calorie, high protein…you name it). Killing it, health wise, basically. From the outside looking in, it probably looked […]

WELP….THE SECRET IS FINALLY OUT. Last week, exactly 3 days after moving into our new house, still in the midst of a new kitchen remodel, holes in the wall and amidst all the crazy, I let you guys in on my quiet secret that’s been in the works for a little while now, on instagram:  […]

Summer love has been on full speed over here. If you follow me on instagram, you know that these past 2 1/2 weeks, we’ve been popping around the wine regions of France, and both cities and the coasts of Spain and Portugal. It’s been a dream. Like, one I’ve wanted to do for a looooong […]
