Currently // September 2015

September 15, 2015 by Hillary 11 Comments

Currently…

turning on my oven to roast sweet taters – oh how I’ve missed you, roasted root veggies

wearing my favorite cozy cotton burgundy Lulu Wunder Unders, tall boots, and a sweater – I hope rain is around the corner

saddened by the devastating Northern Californian wild fires – these smoky skies are dreary and a false hope that it is fall

prepping all the plane snacks for that trip, including these matcha pistachio bliss balls

anxiously waiting for mini pumpkins to make their arrival… and then autumn decorating may commence!

breakfast-ing on flourless chocolate chip pumpkin muffins – the first pumpkin recipe of the season

sipping water bottles of icy organic coconut water mixed with regular H20 during my workouts – natural electrolytes, yo!

crossing my fingers the forecasted rain oversees doesn’t hinder our anticipated travel adventures… as I don’t have room in my suitcase for an umbrella

holding off on Talenti in anticipation of several scoops of Italian gelato

craving almond milk Chico chai lattes

yoga-ing regularly, and appreciating the serenity that coincides with my practice on the mat

fondling the magic that is my new vinyasa scarf

Flourless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

What are you currently sipping, wearing, craving?

    …check your link for the vinyasa scarf. It directs me to Chico Chai, not the Lululemon site :) And it is a cool scarf… very versatile for travel.

      Right!? Mom’s bringing matcha… where should I shop for Medjool dates (aside from the FM)?

      And the scarf — you need one, or ten!

    Sipping on WATER. Although I am totally due for some coffee any moment now.
    Craving a big breakfast of eggs and sweet potatoes, maybe a little avocado.
    Wearing… Well, if I am being 100% honest, I am still in sweaty workout clothes catching up on the webernet before getting ready for the day ;-)

    I’m honored that my muffins were your first pumpkin recipe of the season!

    And I hope we get some rain soon, too. Maybe by the time you get back from your trip! Which is going to be SO much fun, btw. I can’t wait to see all of your pretty pics!!

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
