My morning routine is so sacred to me. It’s something I look forward to in the morning and makes me start the day on such a better foot. Of course, there are plenty of days that I hit snooze and roll out of bed, throw my hair up, because nobody is perfect and sometimes we…

Retreat Recap
Recharged and Undone A few months ago, Rachel (@rachelrecharged) reached out to me to discuss potentially partnering on a retreat. Retreats are something that had been on my bucketlist for a while. I feel like so many of my internet friends in NYC or LA go to them all the time! I on the other…
Garden of Life, Love of my Life
Garden of life is a brand that spans SO many categories, you’ve likely used it for something. My first experience with Garden of Life was with their takeover of the supplements/protein aisle at Whole Foods. Since then, I’ve found that products I’m absolutely obsessed with – using daily – and wanted to share those…
Wellness Regimen Q&A
A little bit ago I asked you all to send me some questions for a quick little wellness Q&A run down after going back to Green Circle Wellness (check out the full blog on that experience HERE). I’ve shared a lot about my transformation on the blog in older posts, but haven’t really done just…
My Version of Progress
It’s been a while since I’ve updated you all on my fitness and body journey. While it’s easy to follow through Instagram, it’s almost impossible to share my story at lengths in such a visual-centric platform. With that said, it has been almost two years since I started engaging with the Tone It Up community…
Finding Home
I cannot believe it’s been three years since I moved to Chicago. Four apartments, One World Series win, Three jobs and a dog, later…here I am, and I couldn’t be happier. My decision to move here in 2015 was definitely somewhat impulsive. At the time, I was living with my Mom in New Jersey, only…
My Skincare Routine
Learning about skincare has always been a side passion of mine. I truthfully think it started at such a young age because I was born with bushy eyebrows, and begged to get them waxed at age 11 (I don’t think I understood how I was lucky at the time). I would always ask the aesthetician…
Arugula Quinoa Salad
Because of our love and attachment to Harlow, Jacob and I have been dining in much more than dining out lately. After work on Friday, we don’t want to leave the house, but we still want to feel relieved from all the stress of creating our own meal with the limited groceries leftover in the…
NamaSLAY
”Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are.” ~ Jason Crandell When I graduated college two and a half years ago, I was pretty lost. As if adapting from the college party lifestyle to the real world wasn’t enough, I was also completely unhappy with my job. I felt confused, insecure,…
Speed up Your Meal Prep
You may have noticed (due to my obsessive posting) that I got a puppy. My baby girl, Harlow, put me under some pressure for a quick meal prep this week, but it quickly made me realize how much time I spend dilly-dallying around the kitchen, on the couch watching TV during prep, and got me…
