(Sunny skies alllll weekend….)

TJ and I have had numerous conversations, as of late, regarding the importance of practicing gratitude on a daily basis… I’ve mentioned this before, several times, but he demonstrates a happy disposition 85-90% of the time. I think his level of happiness is strongly correlated to his high level of gratitude for all that he has. He’d be the first to confirm that he is incredibly grateful for all that has come his way in life…. All that to say, practicing gratitude on a daily basis is something that I tend to fall in and out of…. and if I’m being honest, have fallen off of it as of late. So, our conversations naturally centered around ways to incorporate it more consistently…. being intentional about journaling what we’re grateful for… or simply holding one another accountable, at some point in the day, to express to one another a few things we’re grateful for that day. Being intentional with gratitude has been proven to:

improve physical health
improve psychological health by reducing toxic emotions of envy + resentment and increasing happiness
improved sleep
improved self esteem (you are able to avoid comparison more….)
increases resiliency 

So, I’ve made it my intention, as we head into the week ahead, to be intentional with my practice of gratitude….maybe jot down a few things before going to bed… or re-incorporate it into my morning routine…. because really, when you look at life, there is so much to be thankful for. I hope you all have a great week! xx

The Bikini Series started today… super excited to see what workouts they have in store… and contemplating trying out the meal plan component. I’ve never done it before, but curious to see if the results would be any different following it….

It’s hard to believe that Mother’s Day is this coming weekend! I’ve already gotten my mom’s gift, but in case you’re still on the hunt for the perfect gift I rounded up a few ideas:

Love all the ideas in this Mother’s Day Gift Shop, especially these summer flip-flops (they’re my mom’s all time favorite….).

If you’re looking for something of comfort for mom, this beautiful floral robe, cozy summer slippers, and this gorgeous throw are great options.

These farmer’s market mother + daughter tote bags are super cute options too.

For the entertainer, this cookbook is a favorite… and this cheese board is a wonderful option.

For the beauty lover, try this brightening instant glow mask, coconut oil body polish, or a TULA gift certificate.

I shared some favorite jewelry to gift in this post, but think this pendant necklace, drusy stud earrings, + this crescent necklace would be excellent gifts as well.

And lastly, for the fitness buff, I think these high waisted leggings or this post workout zip-up would be great choices….

So many gorgeous spring + summer arrivals dropped this week… and I thought I’d share a few favorites with you. I’m eyeing this rose colored + striped sweater tank… cozy sweatshirt for cooler evenings (comes in 4 colors), pretty little flutter sleeve wrap top, blush + white tee (snagged it and looks super cute with high waisted cut-offs), embroidered side tie tank, adorable embroidered shift dress (also comes in petite sizes, which is amazing), bell sleeve hoodie (in the prettiest blush color), + tie front tee (in the clementine color… it’s a beautiful pink)……

I am also obsessed with all things Z Supply for everyday comfort (think basics elevated) and this little dress is on my radar.

BaubleBar also some some super cute jewelry items, like these cute earrings, at a great price point.
