May Amazon FindsMay Amazon FindsMay 23, 2023 at 11:06AMSharing some of the good stuff we’ve found lately on Amazon. I always love to hear about new things you’re loving, too, so please shout out in the comments below!Hi hi! How are you?? I hope you’re having a great morning so far! I have to get some things ready for a photo shoot – we’re taking pics for the landing pages + social for my new program – and some end-of-the-year events.For today’s post, I wanted to share some of the recent Amazon fashion and fun finds.

Green juice chatGreen juice chat May 22, 2023 at 11:08AM Hi friends! How was the weekend? I hope you had a wonderful one. Ours was filled with events – a very typical Maycember – but lots of fun time with friends and family. We had a birthday party, graduation party, dance party, and I taught a couple of classes. It’s been a while since we’ve had a little catch-up post around here. While I wish I could have a green juice or coffee with you in real life, virtual will have to do for now. 🙂 So please grab a green juice or coffee, let’s share a giant pastry, and catch up a bit on life! If we were having green juice right now… I’d ask you about summer plans! I always love to hear what you’re up to over the summer, camps…

While they’ll likely take a while to be delivered (and hopefully…
