Back to Basics

06/06/09

I am two weeks into the program at IIN and this past week, started the "meat" of the content with a lecture by Walter Willett, M.D. from the Harvard School of Public Health. I'm someone who likes to know what's ahead --I count the number of pages in a chapter before I read it, I ask my personal trainer to lay out the day's workout before we start so I know how many circuits we'll do -- so true to … [Read more...]

Microwavable meals that are actually healthy AND good for the environment? I'll take them ALL! #ad

One of the biggest challenges I have as a Mom is keeping myself fed and fueled with healthy food so when I (virtually) met Zoe, the founder of @fireoxfoods and a new mom herself, I was delighted to learn about the new line of frozen plant-based meals she created.

The 5 veggie-centric varieties are each inspired by global flavors and the ingredients are so clean I feel good sharing these meals with my daughter.

I'M BACK ... and more thankful than ever for my health! If you were following my stories earlier this week, you saw that I took some time off because of a corneal abrasion. It's now 90% healed.

Valentina poked me in the eye on Saturday morning and by that night I couldn't open my eye. And because I couldn't open the injured eye, I couldn't open the other eye.

It was both scary and frustrating. With both eyes closed, all I could do was sleep. So with the help of my husband who took on sole responsibility for Valentina, I slept all day Sunday and half the day Monday until I could get in to see my eye doctor.

I joked to one of my friends that I finally got the mommy break I needed - just not the one I wanted! I also caught up on all my missed sleep for the year!

But in all seriousness, with everything going on in the news I knew I needed the social media/tech break, I just wasn't taking it. I'm a firm believer that the Universe does for us that which we can't do for ourselves. This has always been true for me that when I most need a break, I'm forced to take one through Illness or injury.

With Valentina being sick the first week of the year followed by my social media and technology hiatus, I fell even more behind than I already was. But in the grand scheme of things, none of that matters.

I'm so thankful for my family’s health and even though I was injured, I actually feel refreshed. Next time I need a break, I'm giving myself permission to take one - and I hope you will too! 💚💋👀

Now let me tell you about this outfit. I know, I know it looks like basic black sweats but they’re better than basic - I’ve been living in these @monrow_official joggers (the softest ever) and this elevated cropped sweatshirt by @alala both courtesy of @renttherunway.
