K friends, it’s a good day because I’m finally (finally!) bringing you my morning routine & rituals. I’m so excited. This has been a LONG time coming —it’s one of the things I get asked about most often and is a total guide for how my day goes. It’s kind of like my everyday grounding […]

I can barely believe it– we are at the end of 2019! Like, IT IS HERE. Are you guys trying to wrap your heads around it too? Before we dive into one of the most fun +  rewarding topics, ever, I just want to thank YOU. For being here, for following along, for supporting me […]

And a lot of them: epic gatherings, parties, the best goodies, heart-lifting times spent with family and friends. The truth is this: it’s a high energy and high output time, no matter what life season you’re in. […]

Simply Real Health Holiday Gift Guide 2019 Last year, I began thinking about gift giving a little differently. I wanted it to be less about getting, giving, and accumulating more and more stuff, and more about impact. Living intentionally. And choosing things that help you live your healthiest life, day in and day out, month […]

At the risk of sounding a little dramatic over here, I’m just gonna say it: a well stocked pantry will save your LIFE.  And your health. And your energy, your mood, your body, your time, and your money. Intrigued? It’s true, my friends. My pantry (and freezer and fridge) save my life, all the time. […]

So, this is kinda becoming a regular, annual thing— a quick little roundup of all my current favorite finds from Trader Joe’s. (Find last year’s list here, and 2017 here for even more goodies). And let me just say before we get to it—that, yes, of course, ideally, and as much as possible, we should (and could) […]

The post that so many of you have been waiting for… for I don’t know…. A  YEAR maybe? I’ll be honest: I’ve been putting it off a bit, trying to finish first things first (like finishing the 2nd cookbook that comes out next month!!, planning the entire book launch, writing new meal plans, having a […]

Yes, you guys! It is HERE!! Today I’m sharing my newest grocery haul from one of my all-time favs (and probably one of your all-time favs too, or soon to be), Thrive Market. And it. is. so. good. My method, when it comes to streamlining grocery shopping is this: I always try to get a […]
