October Favorites

October 31, 2013 by Hillary 8 Comments

october

Thank you, October, for being an outstanding month! I felt like I lived the month to its fullest potential — cramming each weekend with as much adventure as possible, from exploring The Big Apple to spending quality time with Mom picking pumpkins, sipping Pumpkin Apple Cider Fizz cocktails, and hiking Yosemite National Park with my main squeeze. There was so much laughter, so much sunshine, and so much to be thankful for.

October 2013, you are a month to remember. 

Fitness.

Fitness was not the main attraction this month. Highlights include >> walking miles around NYC, running across the Williamsburg bridge with family, and hiking the Vernal Falls Trail in Yosemite.

  • Bell & Burpee Pyramid Workout

Food.

There was a lot of good eatin’ in October. Highlights include >> pumpkin lobster ravioli at a Michelin star restaurant, comforting butternut squash & kale ragout over polenta, and Kona coffee ice cream from an antique parlor in the middle of CA.

  • Fig, Caramelized Onion, and Goat Cheese Pizza — guest post
  • My 10-Day Sugar Detox
  • Pumpkin Apple Almond Meal Muffins

I think I’ve said it already. I lived. I laughed. I loved.

    Sounds like you had a wonderful month! The highlight of October for me was making all sorts of pumpkin foods. I can never get enough pumpkin this time of year! And, the other note-worthy thing that took place this month was celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary this past weekend! :-)

    I ran a PR half-marathon! And I saw Crosby Stills Nash and Young play at the Bridge School Benefit!

    Looks like a terrific month! October has been so crazy and great for me. The highlight of the month for me was getting the opportunity to spend the weekend at Texas A&M for a conference on nutrition and feeding the world. I can’t wait to see what Nov. has in store.

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
