What I’m Loving Lately {June 2014}

June 13, 2014 by Hillary 12 Comments

Happy Friday, my lovely readers!

Today I am sharing a few summery things I’m crushing on lately. Then, it’s a short day at work because I’m cruising up-state for the 3.5 mile Moonshine Trail Run tonight!

Eats

To sip >> Yogi Muscle Recovery Green Tea — iced! I’ve been making pitchers of this tea and sticking it in the fridge for a refreshing lunch or afternoon beverage. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammaoty; hence, why it’s great for active bodies.

tea

To break a fast >> Organic Honey Chia Bread* (from Costco) with Trader Joe’s organic crunchy peanut butter, sliced banana, cinnamon, and local honey — I can’t get enough of this… seriously, I wake up craving it every morning. It’s too hot for beloved oatmeal.

*I still eat a relatively low-gluten diet, but it appears in my “diet” from time to time… like with organic whole grain bread with simple ingredients.

toast

To indulge >> Trader Joe’s Coconut Caramel (70%) Dark Chocolate bar — holy yum! I am not typically a caramel gal, but this bar is divine. No, it’s not organic and doesn’t have the best ingredient list, but I’m not eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ;)

chocolate

Exercise

To get outside >> Evening walks with P. It’s been so gosh dang hot, that it’s not the least bit appetizing to run in 100+F degree weather; this means, on work days, I stick to indoor workouts, and when the sun sets, I shake out my legs with a light stroll.

walk

To train >> Night runs. As I just mentioned, running in triple digits isn’t my cup of tea, but when you have a race to train for, sometimes 9:00pm runs at a cool 97F are necessary.

run

Life

To workout to >> Waves (Robin Schulz Remix) & Latch (Disclosure) — both of these tunes make my body dance.

To soften my strands >> Macadamia™ Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment — My hair likes to get poofy in the summertime – ugh – so adding a drop to my ends helps to tame my mane and keep the ends moisturized.

Check out my other summer beauty must haves.

To feel free >> Ditching the scale. Oh, how good it feels to live intuitively and guilt-free.

What are you loving lately?

    Hi Hillary! I love your Instagram pictures so much, but for some reason literally every time I try to follow you on Instagram, it just wont let me! When I try to search “hillontherun” on the app, no users pop up and when I try to go directly through your blog, it doesn’t ever give me the option to follow you for some reason. Do you happen to know why that would be? If not, no worries! I just though I would ask :) Love all of your blog posts and pictures so much, you are such an inspiration.

      Thank you! Instagram is too fun.

      Hmmm, that’s strange. Have you tried clicking the Instagram button in the top right corner of my blog?

        Hmm nope still not working! It will change to say “following” but then changes back immediately. So weird. Do you ever see a notification saying “sstjames is following you”? Sorry to be such a bother.

          Weird. I looked at your followers and it doesn’t appear you are following me. I’d contact Instagram. Sorry, I’ve never encountered this issue.

    It’s been hot in SF so I can’t imagine how hot it is up north! I love the Yogi teas (although I haven’t tried your specific flavor). The morning toast I have been doing is mashed avocado (w/ red pepper flakes, salt, pepper), olive oil, mozzarella, tomato and fresh basil from my new plant! So…basically a caprese toast w/ avocado.

    I’ll definitely have to try the Trader Joe’s dark chocolate caramel bar (I’m obsessed with caramel). You should check out their Speculous Cookie Butter chocolate bar, too (usually close to the check out). It’s life changing – just don’t look at the ingredients :)

    i am a tea hoarder and that muscle recovery tea picture caught my eye!
    do you take aminos for muscle recovery, or do you just drink this tea? :)

      No – I don’t take an amino acid supplement regularly, but I consume them via whole foods :)

Instagram post 2188697053505017711_212296339 When you think of Beautycounter, 'small business' may not be the first thing that comes to mind.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A B Corporation founded in 2013 that offers more than 150 products, is an advocacy leader for clean beauty, and was the number one Googled beauty brand in 2018? Not so small.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But, the business I run is truly small. I wear many hats in my role not excluded to owner, mentor, consultant, customer service, accounting, marketing, and so on. I set my own personal goals and do what I can to work toward achieving them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While Beautycounter may be a loud voice in the beauty industry, I try to make the relationships with my clients sincere and personal. When you receive a follow-up email or thank you card or gift from me - those are written, purchased, planned, and sent by me. Much thought and many hours are put in behind the scenes.⁣⁣ 📬
⁣⁣
Not only is the majority of my work incredibly enjoyable, it is also entirely rewarding to be able to help you make the switch to safer and get safer products into your home.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Almost two years later, my Beautycounter business continues to grow - thanks to all of you. I am THANKFUL for this opportunity to be your consultant. Thank you for supporting my small business and the clean beauty movement!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💌 xo,⁣⁣

⁣
Swipe right to see how I feel when someone asks “So, what’s next?” (a.k.a. “When are you going to get a real job?”)⁣
⁣
You see, I don’t look at it like they may: switching from a wonderfully unique job in corporate wellness to “selling skincare and makeup”, working from home (or wherever I please). ⁣
⁣
Instead, I see how aligned my life and career path has been. I went from working for one incredible environmentally-conscious, family-owned company that puts people and the planet first while simultaneously creating a product that leads its craft industry (🍺) to another: a forward-thinking @bcorporation that is transparent about their sourcing/ingredients and advocates for social change while consciously creating personal care products that perform.⁣
⁣
By purchasing @beautycounter ’s beautiful products this holiday season (or any time of year), you’re doing more than gifting a gorgeous lip gloss or luxurious moisturizer. You are voting with your dollar for #cleanbeauty to be the norm; most importantly, you are showing that you give a damn about your health, the health of your loved ones, and the health of our planet.⁣
⁣
For me, it’s all about health — it always has been and always will be. ⁣

Instagram post 2181017522292059910_212296339 It’s been fun, Hyde Park. ⁣
⁣
As it turns out, staying in an itty bitty AirBNB for 6 weeks(!) while our floors got replaced wasn’t so bad after all. To be honest, I enjoyed the boujee South Tampa life much more than life in the suburbs. ⁣
⁣
I’ll miss walking to free community yoga classes in the village, neighborhood walks with Koba admiring the humongous, historic century old homes, treating myself to many @buddybrewcoffee matcha lattes just because, the 5 minute drive down Bayshore Boulevard to workout at the base gym, and more. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, most times, it does us justice to shake up our environment. Because what at first seemed like it’d be a headache turned out to be a blessing in disguise — the gift of feeling C A L M when “home base” was in a season of transition. ⁣
⁣
Thanks for a few of my favorite weeks in Florida,⁣

⁣
Woke up early, had a cup of decaf, took Koba on a cool walk around the neighborhood, and then walked to @lululemon for their free Sunday morning yoga class. It was humbling to say the least.⁣
⁣
The sounds of the singing bowl while in savasana reminded me of my beloved classes with @lisaweberyoga and then strolling through the monthly farmer’s market afterwards... for a brief moment, I felt at home.

Instagram post 2168509648563100656_212296339 life update 〰️⁣
⁣
We’ve been temporarily out of our (rental) house since October 14 because the floors needed to be replaced. Nick’s been traveling a lot for work lately and Koba and I traveled to Colorado only to return to staying in an @airbnb for an unknown amount of time (of course a two week project is now looking closer to 4-5 weeks).⁣
⁣
We could be moving out of state soon, but that’s up in the air, too. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Needless to say, nothing really feels settled. Even though our house is completely gutted, most of our things are difficult to access, and I’m living out of my suitcase, Nick and I are oddly enough enjoying this AirBNB (appropriately named The Tree House) more than our home.⁣
⁣
While it is no bigger than a shoe box with a pint sized kitchen, we *feel better* here. Nestled in Old Hyde Park, I can walk the 3 blocks to my favorite local coffee shop for an iced oat milk matcha latte and window shop at @lululemon. Unlike the busy suburb in which we live, people are constantly outside walking their dogs, jogging, playing with their kids at the park, chatting with friends by the fountain. These little things all bring me a silly amount of joy.⁣
⁣
It’s often during times of change and uncertainty that I recognize the important things — the shit that matters. ⁣
⁣
I recognize my ability to be flexible when I am a homebody at heart. I recognize my longing for community and that small town, local vibe. I am grateful for my jobs that allow me to work from literally anywhere, and I feel really lucky to have Nick and Koba by my side. One day, sooner than later, we will look back and laugh at these Florida memories. 🌴⁣
