On Turning 37

As someone who was such a birthday person, I have not properly celebrated the last few birthdays. Turning 35 threw me for a loop, turning 36 was such a whomp whomp I didn't even want to write about it and turning 37 has me feeling neutral. I don't think I've gone backwards so to speak, but I don't feel like me. My body doesn't feel right, I'm not the fun person I was and my apartment is a constant mess but on the flip side I've made a few new friends and I adopted a dog. The last year as a bit of a roller coaster and 37 will be all about balance! I want to get back to where I feel like myself - no more, no less. I want to rebuild a grounding routine and make headways in my personal goals. Cheers to an optimistic outlook for the year ahead and leaving 36 behind!

Currently...

Starting to write again! After a long hiatus I'm ready to get back into writing and musings. I stopped for a few reasons, but I'm back in a place where I have the time, energy and inspiration to start again. I don't know how regular of a writer I'll be, but I'm going to do what feels right and is sustainable. That being said, it's all about baby steps for me! 

Taking Pure Synergy vitamins. It took what feels like a lifetime, but I finally found vitamins that I absolutely love and work for me. My friend Rena is so knowledgable when it comes to supplements and when she introduced me to Pure Synergy, I immediately knew I needed these vitamins in my life. I love them because they are actual food, made in the USA with organic products and have no fillers. 

Working on personal development! After a year of chaos and crash landings, I'm determined to get my life back on track and in order. It's time to buckle down and create a plan that works for me and aligns with my goals. I'm working with someone who is helping guide me, because sometimes you just need a coach with a neutral perspective.

Enjoying pilates still. While my first studio closed down, I found another one that I really enjoy and fits perfectly into my routine. Pilates is the first workout I've found that I genuinely like and my body craves. One day I want to buy my own reformer, but that will be further down the line - when I have more time, space and money. 

Celebrating my birthday! I'm turning 37 this weekend and will be cheers-ing with family and a few friends in NY. I'm excited to be home for my birthday and look forward to a trip to the Frick, a favorite NY restaurant and maybe a little bit of birthday shopping.

Pretty Pins for A Nostalgic Summer

Is it just me or did Florida bypass Spring and go right to the summer kind of heat typically saved for July and August? It has me wanting a full closet refresh, a colorful patio, and an August or September trip added to the calendar. While I'm just starting to plan out my summer, I know it's going to be fun filled.  Maybe I'm just inspired by my recent trip to NY but I'm feeling nostalgic for an old school summer!  The kind where you're out late on a long drive to nowhere, a special ice cream shop trip after dinner, and Saturdays on the boat with family or maybe even an early beach morning instead. That's the kind of summer I want and will have! The last year was a bit of a crash landing - I moved into my own place again, I adopted a puppy maybe a little bit too soon, and life just got ahead of me. Most of my February, March and April was spent righting my ship and building a new routine that works for me. I'm still adjusting but I'm feeling like myself again for the first time in months. Below are a few pins inspiring my plans! 

Happy Monday,
