May Wishlist

05/11/15

The month of May means the start of warm weather and it gets us closer and closer to the season of Summer. This also means that I have a super long list for all the things i’m wishing for in the month of May. It is definitely a lot of things, a whole cornucopia of things. To get ready for Summer, I definitely need to have a whole slew of new Summer polishes and Essie makes some of my absolutely favorite polishes. Along with that, it is essential to have a good weekend bag for all of those quick summer weekend getaways. I have been virtually visiting this monogrammed Satchel bag from Tuckernuck. Throw in some of my summer fav. hair revitalizer from Bumble and Bumble and a Peter Thomas Roth Mini Mask Magic Kit and I’m ready to rock Summer!

Working out for me is not just about being healthy and losing weight, although that’s definitely why I started (gotta work off my weekly love for and ranch). It’s also a lot about wanting to gain strength. Strength in my arms, my legs, my core, hell, even my mind. I want to be able to do 15 push-ups, 20 slider reps (yup @chelsea .yoga.pilates.run 20!) and have enough positive vibes running through my mind/body to keep me smiling all day. Given the fact that I’ve NEVER been able to do really any of these before, I know it’s going to take
Here’s some advice that you can take or leave, but it’s been ringing true to me lately. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Not every deadline is life or death, there’s plenty of time to accomplish everything you want and a permanently furrowed brow is fun for no one. Lighten up, give yourself a break, go do something silly. Yup, that’s basic advice, but a good reminder.
My self-care Sunday plans: Baking a boatload of Chai Cherry Muffins for the week ahead, long bubble bath whilst watching The Nightmare Before Christmas (I watch it year round, try and stop me) and ending with some relaxing sunset yoga to end the weekend with some calm vibes. Yup, I know it sounds good.
Proof positive that you can work out anywhere! Irene and I working on our dancer’s pose.
Checking the weather report today for Palm Springs... it’ll just be a cool 116 degrees!! Already in planning mode for different ways that I can handle the heat for my trip in 3 weeks.... Frosé, check, multiple @evianwater face sprays, check, a whole boatload of SPF 50 @sunbum sunscreen, after sun gel, you bet your bum! ☀️
After a weekend of eating/drinking copious amounts of queso, pizza, sweet potato fries, champagne and mezcal (all of which I regret nothing for), I’m excited to get back to my regularly scheduled healthy eating. Also, this was the one time i thought I could handle 5lb weights in barre class... I couldn’t hang.
And pack, and pack, and pack! The last hurrah month of summer is here and I’ve got two little getaways scheduled, both with very different wardrobe requirements. First up, Disneyland with @yourfriendirene ! This calls for me to pull out every Disney tank and tee I own and my all day park essentials to shove as many as I can into my teeny tiny Kate Spade purse (hello, mini mascara is *definitely* a necessity). The second trip is to Palm Springs for a little Labor Day weekend R&R. This calls for as many swimsuits as I can shove in my @away
I’m not ready to give up all my favorite summer polish shades just yet. Thankfully, San Francisco summer doesn’t really start until September so I’ve got at least a few more weeks to play with all my favorite pale blue, green, pink and coral hues. Mani/Pedi party anyone?
Legitimate smile, but not as pure or innocent as it seems as I was laughing at two girls in heels trying to run through a flooded #nola street in the pouring rain.... I couldn’t help it.
I’ve been really into making the most of my weekends lately, trying to squeeze every ounce of fun and relaxation I can. For me, it’s all about the motivation. If I can get off the couch and actually get dressed (any couch potatoes will know it’s 10x harder than it sounds) then I can get out and do all the things I say I’m going to do on the weekends. My motivation lately is my Saturday am Barre & Bubbles class. It’s got its own built-in rewards system (hello healthy exercise that gets rewarded with champagne!) and its been the
I brought a protein bar to the park and decided to eat this instead. I feel zero guilt, after all, girl’s gotta live! ‍♀️
I know everyone is probably all very sad about the end of summer, but I’m not. I’m one of those annoying people who can’t wait until fall starts so I can pull out sweaters, boots and yes, all of my fall/Halloween decorations. Yup, I’m that person and I loooovvvweeee it! Get on board.
