I love workout clothes that are of high quality, fit well and are comfortable. Lululemon has been my go-to brand for the past few years. I am starting to branch out and try some brands with more edgy looks. I have been eyeing some pieces from Splits59 for a while.…
Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
As temperatures hit the 90s in Seattle today, I will be keeping our freezer full of popsicles. Most homes & many businesses in Seattle do not have AC so it will be a rough couple of days here in the Pacific Northwest. I got on the summer popsicle kick this year…
Working Out at Home
My workouts have slowed down in intensity over the past few weeks. I am still doing pilates and playing tennis once a week. My workouts are shifting to be more stretching based and I am completing most of them from home now. It is important to stay active during pregnancy…
Black Bean Brownie Goodness
Happy Monday!! What better way to start off Monday than with a healthified dessert recipe! This is my favorite dessert recipe and I’ve had it in constant rotation during this pregnancy. I haven’t had any crazy pregnancy cravings but I can’t seem to eat enough avocados and chocolate foods. This…

Thursday Thoughts

Zucchini “Pasta”
This zucchini “pasta” with lemon & avocado dressing is one of my favorite meals. It’s quick and easy to make, refreshing and super healthy. I love the lemon avacado & basil dressing so much I use as dressings on salads. In case you have never used a Spiralizer®, they are…
Weekend Recap: New Beginnings
“There are no endings, only new beginnings” It was a packed weekend for me. On Sunday, I finished an intensive 4 month classical pilates teacher certification course. Minus the fact I have to wait and test out on some of the technique portion since I’m 31 weeks pregnant, the teaching &…
Pilates Filled Weekend
Happy Friday! Of course it’s another gorgeous weekend here in Seattle and I will be inside for most it finishing up the last weekend of Level 1 Pilates training. I am a little sad I don’t get to spend it with Ryan on his last free weekend before he starts…
Mexican Nights
One thing is for sure – Ryan and I will never turn down a meal at a Mexican restaurant. We decided to stay in the neighborhood tonight for dinner and went to Mezcaleria Oaxaca. They have a rooftop and we were planning to eat up there but once we got…
