Friday Favorites: Adventures, Fun, and Magical Mushrooms

Grand Canyon

Happy Friday!

September was jam-packed with lots of fun, travel, exciting changes, and new adventures. We went to Maine twice, had a trip out West (see below), and I started my new veterinary position with Indevets. I believe in creating your own path and finding the balance in life that works for you. For me, that means balancing my veterinary career and health coaching. Indevets' mission believes that happy, healthy vets make better vets. Clearly, they speak my language and share my mission.…

Friday Favorites: Staying Healthy When Traveling

Happy Friday! How are you doing? It has been a whirlwind of a week returning home from my trip to Maine and Vermont and starting a new veterinary job (for greater flexibility with health coaching!). My trip to New England was everything I hoped for. It felt so good connecting with family, breathing in the fresh air, and enjoying special treats like a lobster dinner and my dad’s amazing chili. Here are some of my other favorite things from the past couple of weeks:

Charleston Healthy Eats

Charleston


Today I'm sharing our favorite Charleston healthy eats. One of my favorite things about traveling is getting to try new restaurants and food. I am all about enjoying local indulgences when traveling (we're about to go to Belgium and you better believe there will be beer, chocolate, and waffles involved), but I also like to balance that with healthy and delicious options. I like feeling good while I'm traveling AND once I return home, ya know?



Matt and I make a pretty great team when w…

Friday Favorites #32: Stress Relief and Hope

Happy Friday! How is your week going? August has been BUSY, so I'm pretty excited for a low-key relaxing weekend at home (after I work on Saturday). I'm planning on a Costco trip, planting new basil because all of my thriving basil suddenly crashed and burned, weeding, and organizing our closet. Pretty exciting stuff! Actually, I'm excited for Costco. I'm also going to try to start sharing more things on Instastories, so I'll probably share some of the healthy finds while I browse. If Mat…

Friday Favorites #20 + Heirloom Restaurant Review

Happy Friday! It has been a hot one in Charlotte this week and looking at the forecast it appears that weather is here to stay. For some reason I like to wait until it's in the 90's to finally work on my gardens so that has taken up the majority of my spare time this week. I also finally organized my garage which feels SO good. I live an incredibly exciting life, I know. Once again I'm sharing some of the things that have made me smile this week including a review of one of our favorite res…

Waking up for our last full day in paradise was a little bittersweet. On one hand it seemed like the days had flown by. But despite that, each day had been full and included the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Day 6 followed a similar pattern.

I took a few photos as I biked to the fitness center (a common occurrence anywhere I went because the Maldives is stunni…
