I have Galentine’s day on the mind and this iced

I have Galentine’s day on the mind and this iced strawberry milk matcha latte is such a perfect healthy treat for you or your girlfriends! 🍵
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The key is to use ceremonial grade matcha (culinary grade tends to be super bitter). I’m using @ippodoteausa Nodoka matcha in this video and i love how fragrant it is. 🌿💕 It works especially well when combined with the strawberries! 🍓
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tips for making the perfect matcha:
✨ Always sift your matcha first to avoid clumps
✨ Pour 1/4 cup hot (not boiling) water over matcha
✨ Whisk in a “M” or “W” shape until fully combined and frothy layer appears on top
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I prefer my matcha unsweetened but in this case, I did add a little sugar to the strawberry to make the purée before adding in the plant based milk.

Let me know if you’ll be trying this recipe soon!

First time back at a fitness studio since November and it felt so good! ✨🎀

I’m still modifying all of my workouts, especially Pilates since it’s so core intensive — but wow does it feel amazing to get back to moving my body again!

Send this to someone you want to have afternoon tea & a romance book swap with 🫖🌸📖 🍒

You all know I love a theme and I couldn’t let Valentine’s Day pass by without organizing a little get together with some girl friends! We each brought a wrapped book to share and there was even a cute little board book for Lily 🥹

A special thank you to @babestearoom, for making our #galentinesday dreams come true (and for being so accommodating with gluten free & vegan towers for some of the gals!) 💋

Celebrating one month of motherhood and finally go

Celebrating one month of motherhood and finally got around to sharing my birth story (and some postpartum musings) #ontheblog 🌸

Head to the link in my bio to read and swipe for a few of my fav #happysnaps & highlights:

✨ when Lily was finally big enough for me to wear her with my Solly wrap
✨ our sweet and sassy little girl
✨ multiple cups of coffee a day are keeping me alive
✨ the cutest lotus flower set up for her first bath
✨ morning dance parties with my fav girls
✨ adding some cheery, Spring vibes indoors as we continue to hibernate
✨ post morning milk snuggles in bed 🍼
✨ getting back to gratitude journaling every morning to help set the tone of the day
✨ our first date night as parents (where I ate ALL the sushi 🍣)
✨ brisk walks in the neighborhood are the best thing for my mental health
✨ multiple restocks of our diaper drawer
✨ will never get over how tiny she is
✨ mama’s first espresso martini since last Spring
✨ the sleepiest evenings while binge watching Shrinking, Silo and Squid Game 2

Thank you all for being part of this journey with us! I have another month of maternity leave and in the meantime — I’m soaking up these early days as a family as much as possible 💕

A little ✨reset routine✨ featuring a few new tasks that we’ve added to our chore list

Some big things have changed around here but one thing that has remained the same is how absolutely amazing it feels for our well-being to “reset” our space

Whether you do these daily, weekly, or monthly here are a few simple ways to freshen up your home:

✨ Change your sheets
✨ Add fresh florals to the table
✨ Light your favorite candle
✨ Open windows to let fresh air in
✨ Wash dishes
✨ Do a load of laundry
✨ Wipe down kitchen surfaces
✨ Restock any daily essentials

What are some reset goals you want to make sure you do this year?

Swipe for some of my favorite yoga snaps from over

Swipe for some of my favorite yoga snaps from over the years🧘🏻‍♀️✨

It’s no secret that yoga changed my life in so many incredible ways. It helped me heal my heart in my early twenties, led to the creation of my blog & this career path, inspired me to get certified to teach, pushed me to lead & teach so many amazing events across the country including a weekend wellness retreat last year, and so much more

During my pregnancy I stopped going to hot yoga studios (which had become such a favorite) so one of my biggest goals this year is to reconnect with my personal practice again. And I can’t wait to get back to heated vinyasa classes and yoga sculpt at some of my fav studios 🔥

I know my content has shifted and changed so much over the years so no matter when you started following along, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart

I’m so curious, has anyone been here since my @melyoga1 days?

Happy New Year, beautiful friends! ✨🥂 Althou

Happy New Year, beautiful friends! ✨🥂

Although the only bottle service I was participating in this NYE was in our bedroom at midnight for baby girl 🍼, I did manage to find some time yesterday to make a ✨vision board✨ for the new year!

This is one of my favorite things to do on Dec 31st. It’s a great way to help clearly define your goals and have a visual reminder that can serve as positive reinforcement throughout the year 🤍

Along with a vision board I also love to choose a word for the year… and for 2025 I’m leaning into JOY

✨Finding joy in this new chapter of motherhood
✨Creating space for friendships, hobbies, partnerships & activities that bring me happiness
✨Looking for silver linings during any challenges
✨Being grateful for all of the good in my day to day

Id love to hear what your theme is for the year or any goals you have! Leave a comment and let’s cheer each other on 👇🏼

One more sleep til Christmas and I’ll be over he

One more sleep til Christmas and I’ll be over here enjoying a festive matcha yogurt bowl with all the fixins 🎄❤️!

The creaminess of the Greek yogurt pairs well with the earthiness of the matcha and when you add a drizzle of honey + berries, banana and granola you’ve got yourself a really tasty and healthy breakfast or snack ☺️

I added a little sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy for some ✨holiday cheer✨but that’s obviously v optional

Let me know if you’ll be trying this! 🍓🍵
