How to beat the Happy Hour hangover! 🧉

How to beat the Happy Hour hangover! 🧉

Warm, Summer afternoons are the perfect time for happy hour on a lively patio.. Am I right or am I right?

While I LOVE a good happy hour, I also don’t love feeling yucky the next day. Especially, when happy hour can easily turn into 5 rounds of drinks. After years of trial and error, I finally learned how to enjoy happy hours and beat the next-day-nasty! Here’s what I do:

☀️ Focus on socializing, not alcohol. Make your happy hour time about friends, not getting tipsy.
☀️ Start and end happy hour on the earlier side. I prefer a geriatric seating for dining (I’m talking 4pm!! 😂).
☀️ Always order appetizers to snack on while drinking, especially after a long work day.
☀️ Drink a full glass of water between drinks.

✨ Bonus: Offer to host a wellness happy hour at home, instead! You can include at-home yoga or pilates, juice shots or cold-pressed beverages, crudite with fresh dips, or even light cocktails/mocktails. Make it fun!
You know I’m already planning this for when this backyard is done! 😍

Raise your hand if you prefer early social interactions vs late 🙋🏻‍♀️
I like to be in bed relaxing by 8pm 😂

Forecast is a mix of psyched for new outdoor furniture vs. what the heck did I just do and how did that add up so quickly!? 😳

And check out this gorgeous rooftop gravel pit! Ok if you watched my stories yesterday you get the reference. Just stumbled across an oldie but goodie from Wu Tang Clan that takes me back to my younger years. 🎧

Speaking of gravel pit… C and I decided to add one in a corner of our backyard.
It was all fine and dandy until our neighbor asked us what kind of gravel we were using. Like… Paris style gravel? Or American gravel…?

🧐😳 There’s more than one type of gravel!? Just go ahead and add one more to the list of things I can’t make a decision on.

I may have invested way more than I thought I would in poolside chaise loungers at Restoration Hardware.
At least I have this picture to show for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ thanks for all of your help!
If you’re in Southern California and looking, the West Hollywood location has a rooftop with outdoor furniture to ogle over 👀

Next up… in-pool furniture for the Baja shelf. Head to stories and vote pretty pleaaaaase 😘

Does “organic” really matter? 🥦🍓🍅🌶

Organic foods are grown and harvested mostly WITHOUT the use of synthetic chemicals and pesticides. Ideally, these foods should naturally contain less chemicals. However, is “organic” actually better?

🥬The short answer: yes! Most organic fruits and veggies will provide more nutritional benefit than their conventional counterpart, but there are a couple things you should know about organic foods:

Every food labeled “organic” isn't necessarily certified organic. Always look for the small USDA organic sticker to verify credibility.

Organic foods are usually more expensive. When sticking to a grocery budget, use the “Dirty Dozen” list. It contains fruits and veggies with the HIGHEST amounts of pesticides (after being washed off). The 2021 Dirty Dozen list includes:
🔅Strawberries
🔅Spinach
🔅Kale
🔅Nectarines
🔅Apples
🔅Grapes
🔅Cherries
🔅Peaches
🔅Pears
🔅Bell and hot peppers
🔅Celery
🔅Tomatoes

Shopping at your local farmer’s market is a great way to find affordable, ripe, and nutritious organic produce. Don’t be afraid to ask the farmer about their farming practices! I personally love chatting them up to hear their stories 😍

Do you shop organically? Why or why not?

☀️ HEALTHY SUMMER TRAVEL TIPS ☀️

Travel season is back, baby! After a COVID Summer, I know many of us are itching to get back to our favorite spots. I know I am!

However, if you’ve spent the last year working hard on your health and fitness goals, it can feel nearly impossible to enjoy vacation AND stay on track. You know what I mean?

Luckily, there are a few ways to live up your vacation and stay healthy! Keep these tips in mind on your next trip:

1️⃣ My favorite rule: everything in moderation. Indulge in your favorite foods and drinks (in moderation) and don’t feel guilty about it! 🍷🥂🍰

2️⃣ Know your dietary restrictions and plan ahead of time. Don’t compromise on this if you are intolerant to certain foods (gluten, dairy). Call restaurants or search online to find places to meet your dietary needs. After all, there’s nothing worse than feeling crappy on vacay, or dealing with the wrath of your gut when you get home! 🍬🍭🍪

3️⃣ Find ways to be active that you actually enjoy! Go for a family bike ride, walk to dinner, swim in the pool, etc. Make it fun! 🏄🏻‍♀️🤸🏻🏐

4️⃣ Let it go! At the end of the day, one ice cream cone won’t ruin your progress, just as one salad won’t make you healthy. Enjoy your vacation and leave the stress at home!

5️⃣ Bring some of your favorite snacks in case you’re in a pinch, especially if you’ll be flying! It’s nice to have a little familiarity for your gut 🙃

What is your best healthy travel tip?!
