Cozy Self Care Winter Rituals

I visit my home state of Maine every Christmas and after a week, I honestly think to myself, ” How the heck can anyone do this…

Welcome to my little corner of blogging in South Florida where I can share everything home, wellness & lifestyle. (and a few puppies too). I created this blog back in 2009 (not having a clue what I was doing) as a creative outlet to share with you all things that inspire me. My goal is to help others cut a few corners and to simply make life easier by sharing wellness options, great products, home decor inspo, travel guides, life-hacks & more!

My body may be changing but what’s changing the

My body may be changing but what’s changing the most is my mind and the belief in myself to step up and do what I need to do to not feel like shit! It’s uncomfortable and scary and every day negative thoughts try to creep in and stop me. But now these workouts every day are a habit. I don’t even think about needing to be motivated. It’s discipline!! My body goes through the motions every day the same time to putting on my gym clothes, booking the class, driving to the studio and getting uncomfortable. The people who are stronger than me have better form than me don’t scare me, they now INSPIRE ME and now it’s my job to make the next girl who is scared and uncomfortable to feel like she can do it too!

No regrets!! Only stronger! Better! More disciplined! I listen to every word the coaches say. I pay attention to every instruction like it’s the gospel knowing that every day that I do I get stronger and better for MYSELF for once in my life.

I don’t know what’s out there in other states comparable to @justliftstudios_coralsprings and @nicolekavfitness @dayle_brittany and the rest of the bad ass coaches. Many of you ask me ……. but find something that gives you your hour to feel stronger and better. Love your body and take control of having NO REGRETS!! And if you are local…….GET IN THERE & try it!! I’m here to cheer you on! 🥰

Finally the hoarder caught in the act 😂😂😂 Notice the other dishes already in his cage and his determination for collecting all 5 🥰😜🤣 This puppy literally cracks us up every day!! These are the maze dishes that slow down the rate at which a dachshund will eat and he spends an hour licking each one after meal time lol 😂

The perfect palms warmer to add to the countdown!! And this baby is filled with the fragrance sandswept of course!!! Allll the beach wedding vibes!! Coming into the two hundreds!!!!!! Seems like it was just at 760!! Wow

You always have my back! You always believe in me!

You always have my back! You always believe in me! You stood by me when 15 years of a life I knew and people were gone! You pushed me when our office closed! You let me dance non stop! You let me steal a bite of your food! You strive to give us our dream life! You waited for me during a time I didn’t even know who I was! You stayed patient when I had lost hope! It’s not perfect! We work at it but you helped me believe in a truthful, honest, loving and loyal relationship which I truly never believed existed!! Thank you for being the man that you are and always making me a better person! 🥰

What an amazing weekend away @thebenwestpalm for R

What an amazing weekend away @thebenwestpalm for Rob’s birthday! We expected to just chill alone and was so excited when so many decided to drive up almost an hour either for the day or dinner to celebrate him!!! It’s these reels that warm my heart when you put the moments together and can really keep every minute close to you!

If you get to Palm Beach stay at the Ben down town, visit @rhw_westpalmbeach to look around and food on the Rooftop, rent a cabana, visit Rosemary square and palm beach island! The perfect get away and the perfect weather with some of our favs!!

To my best friend! My sister! My ride or die! To t

To my best friend! My sister! My ride or die! To the person that has stood by my side for every single event, moment, tear and smile since I left for college!

High school was confusing and weird when it came to the definition of friendship and God decided I needed a clear definition when he kept that dorm room door open so that you and I could meet. Living in towns only 20 minutes apart and never knowing it, he truly created a way for us to come together! We laugh hysterically at the same stufff. We finish each others thoughts and sentences. Same morals and ideas and realizations when the world seems crazy! And when i feel unclear about anything…….it’s you who makes things normal and ok!

Today is the 30th time we’ve celebrated birthdays! From upside down cake to parties to the funniest of cards, I truly treasure them all! You are the sister I never had and the person I can’t imagine life without! You are an amazing mother, wife, best friend, daughter and sister anyone could ask for and I’m beyond grateful for every moment and memory we’ve created! Happy happy birthday Shannon! I love you more than I can write here or give you in any gift! Thank you for being the person you are and here is to many more memories and 40 more birthdays together!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘
