  So, you all know I’m into a simple, efficient, low-maintenance beauty routine. It’s all I’ve got time for these days….but let’s be honest, that’s nothing new.  I want things that make my skin feel its best & glowiest, and products made of simple, clean ingredients. But that’s not always easy to do! There’s a […]

Sooo, yup— we’re going there today. Let’s talk about periods. And the feminine care products that come with them. Fun stuff, you guys! But really, when you tap into your menstrual cycle and get to know it really well, it uncovers all kinds of helpful information about your mood, energy, hunger, desire to move, hormones […]

    Guyssss! It’s one of my favorite days— time for a Thrive Market HAUL (summer 2022 edition). If you’ve been here for a while, you already know Thrive is my go-to spot for healthy & clean groceries, cleaning supplies and even natural wine delivery! They have so many clean pantry staples, often at a […]

So many people think that eating healthy is expensive. And yes, it can be, if you’re paying for all the fancy schmancy pre-packaged foods with all the fun marketing over the front (and health claims, of course). Or produce that is exotic or isn’t in season (always way more $$$). But the truth is this: […]

If I could round up allllll the feedback from the women, clients and mamas in my life about why they “don’t like” to cook, the resounding reason would be this: “I don’t have time for it.” I mean, haven’t you felt that way, too? I definitely have, on my busiest and most overwhelming days and […]

As busy women at the end of a long day, we don’t have time for elaborate, 6-course meals on a random weeknight. But that doesn’t mean we need to sacrifice the quality of what we make, eat & feed our families. I truly believe we ALL have the time to make meals that are healthy, […]

Friend, I’ll keep this post brief today because I just want to share with you that we’ve opened the doors to Simply Real Life: The Method— and alllll the goodness and info you need to know about it can be found right here, on the page dedicated to what it’s all about. But, I didn’t […]

Y’all know I love good food. Real food. As much as I can get it & work it into my meals. And, I love teaching people how to live a healthier life— but here’s the key: it has to be without the all-or-nothing mentality.  And by “healthier”, just to be clear: I mean healthy physically […]

I don’t know about you, but I always need the reminder: that even during a busy day (or in the midst of a busy season in life) there ARE ways to slowly re-calibrate ourselves. That it’s not selfish or “extra” to do so— I think they’re actually necessary if you’ve got a lot on your […]

Let’s talk boundaries. They’re the most beautiful gift we can give ourselves, and also the most difficult.  Why? Because setting boundaries means putting our own emotional peace, margin, and mental health ahead of what everyone else in your life is asking of you.  ….. Which can be really, really (really!) hard. For women, I’ve noticed […]

If I had a cup of matcha for every time I said yes to something (or someone) in the past, when I really wanted to say no… ooph, I’d be swimming in a green pool. It’s a hard thing for people pleasers (both active and recovering) everywhere. Right? You’re having a busy week and someone […]

Let’s be honest, there’s a lot of pressure around feeding littles. The approach you use, the way they respond (or don’t) to what’s in front of them, all the food “rules” you might have grown up with, like finishing ALL of the food on the plate or taking “just 3 more bites of broccoli, please.” […]
