What I’m Reading & Notes from Mother’s Day Weekend
Morning, friends! Hope y’all are having a wonderful weekend. Ours has been full of lazy hours by the pool with the kids, running errands around town, and sunset rosé with a few good friends. In other words, it’s feeling like summer, and I couldn’t be happier about it. This Mother’s Day is extra special in […]
Weekend Notes: Pinterest Updates & Japanese Wellness Secrets
featured photo via tigmi trading Morning friends! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.

A Gear Editor Reveals Her Favorite Fitness Must-Haves
Molly Ritterbeck and I met a few years back while riding bikes in the Texas Hill Country during a Rapha Cycling Ambassador training camp and immediately hit it off. I’d love to say we bonded because of our shared love of bikes, but it was her affinity for a good dry shampoo and nail art […]

Healthy Breakfast Ideas, The Instagram Algorithm, & Weekend Notes
featured photo via sf girl By the time y’all read this, I’ll be on a ranch in West Texas with friends (and lots of kids under the age of 5) not doing much besides watching the river go by and wondering if it’s too early to bust out the chocolate chip cookie bars. After this week, […]
How a Pro Athlete Really Eats to Stay in Shape
photo from sassy kitchen As a cyclist who used to ride 50-100 miles every weekend, I know first-hand that how you fuel on and off the bike is key to performance and recovery. However, in the past year, I’ve swapped those weekend rides for lots of travel, filled with important meetings, speaking opportunities, and shorter […]
Goat Yoga Is a Thing and We Tried It
Most yoga classes start with a call to center your focus within the four corners of your mat. To let go of anything off the mat that isn’t serving you, and to turn your attention inwards. It turns out, that proves to be difficult when there’s a baby goat nibbling on your hair, and another […]
4 Powerful Ways That Your Schedule Can Impact Your Skin
images by kristen kilpatrick I’m naturally a creature of habit: it makes me genuinely happy to make my go-to green smoothie for breakfast, take the same route on our family’s neighborhood walk each day, and go to bed around the same time every night. And don’t even get me started on my morning coffee and […]
Weekend Notes: Brave Girls & Sheet-Pan Dinners

Should You Add Adaptogens to Your Daily Routine?
If you’re into wellness trends, you’ve probably heard about the life-changing power of adaptogens. I recently started taking a couple of them in capsule form, and I’ve definitely noticed feeling more energetic and mentally sharp throughout the day, skipping right over the 2pm slump that always hit me post-lunch. Fans of adaptogens claim stress reduction, […]

Do You Have A Food Hang-Up and What to Do About It
For as long as I can remember — at least since grade school — I’ve struggled with my weight. I deleted that sentence at least seven times and almost left it out completely, but I’m confident many of you can relate. It’s an embarrassing confession, and it’s filled with a lot of shame and bad […]
Weekend Notes: Back From Costa Rica & Cures for the Common Cold
photo by @onahazymorning Happy weekend, friends! Adam and I got back from Costa Rica last week, and it was exactly the kind of trip we both needed to get totally rejuvenated.

5 Stories That Prove It’s Never Too Late to Change Careers
Maybe it’s the un-PC nature of our biological clocks, or just good old-fashioned societal pressure, but it seems that women are especially susceptible to timelined expectations in life. Many of us want to achieve status in our dream jobs by 30, be married with multiple kids by 35, sell the company by 40… etc, etc. […]
Could You Survive This Cool New Beauty Treatment?
If you’re one of those people who feels they don’t have time for a wellness practice, then A) you probably need it the most, and B) you should probably try cryotherapy. Our art director Jenn Rose was sold the second she found out it takes 3 minutes from start to finish. Granted, these 3 minutes […]
Are We Addicted To Overcommitting?
photo from goop A few months ago, I found myself on a road trip with my husband and a (male) friend. We hadn’t traveled 10 miles before falling deep into conversation, as only the open road inspires, and before long I was venting to the guys about the self-inflicted pressure we women endure, which “they could […]
5 Things You Should Know Before Buying Window Treatments
Window treatments are the kind of thing that have a huge effect on a space, but may not necessarily be the first thing you notice upon entering a room.
