One of my New Year Resolutions is to practice more self care every single day. Whether it’s a 15 minute meditation, a morning stretch while listening to my favorite music, or just taking the time to breath - I really want to make everyday special and more relaxing. Since I didn’t have a dedicated place in my house to practice yoga or meditate, I knew I first needed to create the perfect space that would be super inviting to take a few moments for self care and keep my New Year goal!

This year I wanted to make a BIG change to my bedroom with a brand NEW mattress! I was beyond tired (literally and figuratively) of waking up with stiff muscles, a sore neck and being exhausted from tossing and turning most of the night. A mattress is a pretty big deal. You sleep on it every single night and it can have a huge impact on your overall health and wellness. After doing some extensive research I decided to order a tulo mattress.

There are so many different workout methods out there to stay in shape. However, I truly believe staying consistent with one particular method for atleast 2-3 months is the only way to know if it is the right workout for you and get the mental and physical results you are looking for. A few months back I started consistently attending Barry’s Bootcamp (about 3-4 classes a week) and to say I fell in love is an understatement!

If you’re like me, you love a good lazy Sunday. You move a bit slower than normal, drink a bit more caffeine than normal & spend more of the day in your bed than out of it. I’m definitely guilty of lazing more than a few Sundays away, but I always celebrate Smoothie Bowl Sunday! Smoothie bowls are one of my favorite Sunday treats because they’re infinitely customizable, yet absurdly easy to make. Whether you stick to the basics or deck your bowl out with ALL of the toppings, smoothie bowls are delicious, refreshing & fun to put together! Just blend the base ingredients, pour into a bowl, add the toppings of your choosing & dig in!

If you’ve never heard of jackfruit, you’re not alone. Jackfruit only recently emerged as a trending food in 2017, alongside another millennial favorite: avocado toast. A healthy and sustainable vegan meat replacement, jackfruit is a fruit with a consistency similar to that of pulled pork. It’s flavor profile is fairly neutral, so it absorbs any sauce or seasoning you put on it with fervor. It also contains no saturated fat or cholesterol and is low in both calories and sodium! If you hand someone a jackfruit taco & don’t tell them that it’s vegan, they probably won’t even notice that they’re not eating meat. That’s how similar the consistencies are!

Have you ever laid down in savasana, proud of yourself for getting on the mat that day, ready to relax & to let your mind go, only to be distracted by the low, incessant growl of your rumbling tummy?

Been there, done that. So often in fact that I’ve realized the best way to satiate my hunger after class is with a big bowl of protein, grains & vegetables! After an intense workout (like yoga!), protein is necessary to help your muscles repair, while grains with a high fiber content aid in digestion & help to provide that feeling of ‘fullness.’ Vegetables provide essential vitamins & minerals to keep your body healthy, strong & moving on your mat!

The great outdoors is my playground for warming up and stretching out every single morning. I like to be outside in the morning to wake my body up and breath fresh air before starting my day. Unfortunately, with these cooler LA climates, it has been a bit of a struggle for me to get outside. I always know I will feel better once I do some morning yoga and stretches outdoors, but I was having a hard time finding clothes that moved with me and kept me warm at the same time. I did some shopping and found my perfect outdoor attire at Lululemon.

I constantly hear from friends, clients, and family that they “are not a morning person” and working out early in the morning is just not an option for them. I can’t tell you how amazing it can be to get into a routine where you get up early and establish a healthy routine. What I love the most about getting up early in the morning is the quality time I can take for myself before the day gets so crazy. I can’t stress how important it is to take time for yourself every day and close yourself off from the distractions that come in our everyday lives. Hard to see yourself becoming a morning person? Here are my top tips for starting your day while most people are still asleep!
