    In Home Yoga Studio?

    August 1, 2019 /

    Yoga is a fantastic way to build a healthier body and work towards a calmer mind. The problem is, you don’t always have the space and time to practice. Most people end up having to quickly roll and unroll the mat and squeeze in a session here and there. But if you can get a dedicated space, something like Canberra granny flats – until the time comes for it to be used for other purposes.Β  Photo by kike vega on Unsplash   The ancient Indian practice has become increasingly popular over the last few years, and it is a little wonder with benefits, including stress reduction, flexibility, health benefits, breathing,…

    BAM Update 2

    December 16, 2018 /

    I’m back with my 2nd update for the BAM (Body & Mind) program in the Sweat App. I’m still loving the yoga based exercise program in the app. I’m taking a different approach to this update post today though. Instead of just talking about the different exercises and what I find easy and/or challenging, I want to talk about how this past month or so has made me think more about listening to my body (and mind ha). One of the reasons I stopped doing BBG was because I was just burnt out. I did it unfailingly for months and I did love it. It pushed me and gave me…

    Sweat App – Body & Mind

    November 2, 2018 /

    Happy Friday! This week has been soooo long. And I know people say that a lot, but seriously – it felt like it took forever to me. In fact, for the past 2 days the first thing in my head when I wake up is that it was Friday and then I realized it was not Friday. Huge let down! I’ve been extra tired this week – probably a mix of being busy and not getting enough sleep. I can’t wait to get a solid sleep tonight! If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you know earlier this year I was doing the BBG program on the…

    Kale Salad

    October 6, 2018 /

    Do you like kale? I feel like people either love it or hate it. I love getting the kale salads at Wegman’s because they’re so good and I rarely buy kale. But I found some photos on my camera of a recipe I tried out and liked but forgot to post on here. It’s a kale salad with a cranberry and almond vinaigrette. I used baby kale instead of regular kale and I may have made some other minor adjustments to this recipe, but I don’t remember since I last made it so long ago! I always make notes of recipes I try out – whether I substituted ingredients and…

    BBG: 4 Month Check-In

    June 23, 2018 /

    It’s hard to believe I’ve been doing BBG for 4 months already! So in an effort to always keep it real with you on here – this month I’ve been slacking on the effort I’m putting in to my workouts. It’s been a really busy and stressful month for me. Two months actually, but it hasn’t let up so my BBG dedication has taken a backseat. I’ve been busy with getting my new townhouse ready (my first post on the townhouse – pre & post painting will be on the blog in a couple weeks), multiple weddings, the winding down of the school year, etc. It’s not that I’ve been…

1 Last Shot by @nikkicastleromance is the 4th book 1 Last Shot by @nikkicastleromance is the 4th book in the Fight Game series πŸ₯Š and I finally got to read it and of course, loved it! 

This one focuses on Kane and Isabella who were both briefly introduced in book 3. Kane is a new fighter at the gym who is quiet, keeps to himself, and very intense πŸ₯Š. Isabella is new to Philly and starting a new chapter after an injury ended her professional ballet career 🩰. 

Kane is quiet and grumpy with a dark past and Isabella is sunshine, goodness, and new to living on her own and taking care of herself. The two are total opposites, but end up being neighbors and becoming friends and more. Kane wants to help Isabella navigate life on her own and feels protective of her. Isabella wants to help Kane open up more and smile and laugh πŸ₯ΉπŸ’•. 

I loved this book so much πŸ’œ. Kane and Isabella were so perfect together and I loved how even though they were opposites they were just what the other needed. It was so beautiful to watch Kane learn to trust Isabella and let someone be there for him when he’s never known that in his life πŸ’œ. 

Read this if you want a spicy, opposites attract, grumpy sunshine, sports romance! πŸ“š My full review is on the blog ✨

Things We Left Behind is the third and final book Things We Left Behind is the third and final book in the Knockemout series by @scorelucy πŸ“š. I’ve been so excited about this one because it is about Lucian and Sloane and if you’ve read the first two books you know that the two hate each other but no one really knows why. 

The novel opens with the funeral of Sloane’s father who was beloved by everyone including Lucian. It’s also learned that Sloane’s parents think of Lucian as a son so what happened to these two that were once the best of friends as teens to make them β€œenemies” for 20 years? πŸ’”

The thing that happened in the past is something that neither of them has been willing to talk about or get past and as much as they supposedly hate each other they also can’t stay away from each other when they share mutual best friends and as much as they both hate to admit it, they truly still care about each other. πŸ’•

An ongoing threat that has been present in the books since the beginning is still looming large in this book and when Sloane appears to be in the crosshairs now, it makes her and Lucian really come to terms with what they mean to each other and their past.🩷

I loved this book so much and am obsessed with Lucian and Sloane 😍πŸ”₯πŸ₯΅! I absolutely love this whole series but there is something so special about Lucian and Sloane and their shared history. I’m so sad this series is over but the epilogue helped soften the blow a little. 🩷

Read this book if you like spicy small town romances with the friends to enemies to lovers and second chance romance tropes. My full review is on the blog ✨
