Happy Earth Day! 🌍 • It’s funny how the ocean, the horizon, the clouds can make anyone feel so small and insignificant. It’s also ironic how much of an impact we as humans have on the sanctity and preservation of those very things. Throughout the last few years, my husband and I have really started trying to respect the environment in as many ways as possible, including reducing our use of one-time plastics, recycling, and supporting companies that are inherently #ecofriendly. We can always be doing more, but if we each took baby steps to protect Mother Earth, the world would (quite literally) be a better place. Comment with any of your favorite #sustainableliving tips + tricks below! Happy Easter, everyone! 🐰🐣 . . . This may just look like a basket of hodge-podge items. But to me, it’s a special gesture that makes my heart so full. My Grammy has been giving her four grandchildren Easter Baskets since the day we were all born. As the oldest grandchild, I am 27 still receiving a basket and even my parents get goodies from my grandmother. . . . It is not about the items in the basket (though I won’t complain about the Reese’s peanut butter eggs!). It’s the gesture of the love of family, and kindness toward others. I hope to embody some of those wonderful qualities that my Grammy, even in her 90s, goes out of her way to show us each year at Easter, and every day in between. . . . So on this Easter Sunday, I hope you’re spending time with ones you love, showing kindness and compassion to those around you, and eating a few Reese’s eggs, too. ☀️🌸 Fridays are for friends, sangria and cute shoes. 😘🍷☀️ Our best friends are visiting this weekend so we’re excited to show them around Charleston and eat ALL the foods! 😋 After these storms pass through today, the weather is supposed to be beautiful in the south! What is everyone up to this weekend? 💁🏼‍♀️ We’re traveling home this weekend for a short + sweet visit, and so I’ve been (happily) detached from my phone. So nice to unplug, catch up, and get all the lovin’ and hugs. 🤗🚗 . . As you can see, my hands have been a bit preoccupied. 😍👶🏼 This is sweet little Addy Rey and she is 19 days old. She is so cute that even her 💩 smells good — ok that’s an exaggeration but definitely found out today what it does smell like 😉😂. Watching one of my oldest friends become a Mom has been so amazing. You Moms out there are the real MVPs. 💪🏻🙌 . . Hope everyone has a great weekend and has a few reasons to be unplugged. 💕 Today on the blog — how fitness changed my life (from someone who’s not selling anything). . . I have always LOVED food. Like, really loved it. And a few years ago, it really started loving me back. I didn’t have a ton of tools at my disposal after relying on my fast metabolism my whole life, and would get into some really unhealthy habits when trying to lose weight (like making banana + lettuce + red wine my only daily intake). I’ve struggled and shed tears over a photo of me, and had such a lack of self-confidence. . . Then I found a program that worked for me. Seriously worked. It wasn’t easy, but it taught me about routine, consistency, healthy meals that still tasted BOMB 💣, and it gave my husband and I something to do together. It changed my life for the better. For me it wasn’t just about getting in shape, it was about looking good AND feeling good. It wasn’t just about getting in shape, it was about changing the mindset to body-positivity, strong is beautiful, and true beauty comes from within. (And yes I know that’s cliché but it’s so 👏 true 👏 y’all!) . . I’m also putting this out there to say that we should all be a little (read: A LOT) nicer to ourselves. I am a strong believer of and advocate for the notion that beauty comes from who you are as a person, a friend, the love and kindness that your heart shows. Everyone is trying to fight the good fight of loving our bodies and loving ourselves, and I guess I just want us all to let each other know that we’re not in this alone. We have the same struggles, fears and doubts — so let’s all remember to keep that inner dialogue as positive as we can. Sending lots of love and encouragement to anyone who needs to hear it today! You are strong + beautiful! 💪🏻💕 . . Link to my love of fitness + (and the need for fitness due to my love of french fries) in my bio. ✉️ [Important author’s note: to all of you kickass fitness junkies who ARE out there selling it — get 👏 it 👏 y’all! Because one of those very programs changed my LIFE and I am so thankful.] Charleston has some of the prettiest streets to stroll down. I like to make a day of just walking around downtown, especially if I get to go have good food + adult beverages after. 😏😋🍻 Currently sitting in leggings at my desk but wishing I was strolling downtown wearing this perfect spring dress from @baileymoss.la 🙌 Happy Tuesday, friends! #baileymoss #mossLA #partner
