I’ve been thinking so much lately. Maybe it’s hitting this 12 year mark in business this year, maybe it’s my season of life, maybe it’s a combo of both. I can’t believe it’s been over a decade doing this work. (These thoughts all started with this post last week, if you’re wondering what I’m talking about) […]

If you’ve been around for a while, you know it: Living the  Simply Real Health LIFE is about so much more than food. It’s about creating a life that feels alive and vibrant. And meaningful, in the ways that matter to you. And most of all, simple. So that you feel a sense of ease […]

OMG, OMG………….. It’s HERE!!!! The secret I’ve been working on for months (and months), that I can finally share & shout from the rooftops: The Simply Real Life Podcast is here!!!! (officially here on Apple,  Spotify, Amazon Music/Podcasts and YouTube.) I explain it all in the first few episodes (why I’m finally doing a podcast […]

I first started writing down my morning routine to share more than 3 years ago — and I’m so grateful I did. It’s been sweet to look back and see how things shifted from the start of 2020 to the quarantine days with one kiddo to last summer, adjusting to being a mama of two.  […]

So many things about life are seasonal…. or at least feel better when they are. When we have little change-ups in our food, our daily routines, our self-care, our habits, etc.  The older I get, the more I’m learning that this is true about skincare and makeup, too. My skin needs to be nourished in […]

Picture this: you’re curled up on the couch with a cozy blanket and cup of your favorite tea. Or glass of (good quality) wine. Or in a glorious epsom salt bath after a long day. Or laying back in your bed, in those few minutes before you fall fast asleep. Or even better? Snuggled up […]

Sometimes, when I feel like I have nothing to wear, it’s actually because I have too much to wear. You know the feeling? As the seasons pass, our closets get cluttered with items we really don’t even reach for anymore. When I start to feel this way, I know it’s time for a refresh.  First […]

  Since so many of you loved my “random things” post (back in the Fall), today we’re back with another edition, Winter style. You can tell a lot about a person when you ask what their latest obsessions are….. and after sharing a lot of these in passing lately, and keeping track of how many […]

You guys… I think I’ve decided that motherhood is just a constant whirlwind tears and love and mess… all wrapped up together with a “how is time going by so fast?!” mantra on repeat. Anyone else? My goodness. It just kills me a little! Noah is 2. 2!!! How did that happen so quickly? Man, […]

This is Part 1 of a full series this month, taking you behind-the-scenes of building and creating a business & doing what you love: the ups, the downs, the tears & the real real. Yes, I tell this story every year, because every year there is more to share and tell and show you, especially […]

I used to dim my own light, in order to make other people feel good about themselves. Anyone else? Especially for some reason, when it came to work (why do we do that as women especially?) About this business I created out of nothing. About how many lives (and lifestyles) it’s changed. About my big […]

True story: My first “real” job after college was the front desk girl at a yoga/wellness studio. Folding towels and checking people in for class, all of which barely had time to look me in the eye.  (Noted to my future self- always, ALWAYS say  hi, smile and ask these people about their days).  So, […]
