What I’m Loving Lately | June 2018

June 1, 2018 by Hillary 2 Comments

Hey hey, happy Friday & happy JUNE! I’m definitely excited about this month as it includes another trip to Cali, the official start to summer, and my birthday! ☀

Before we get the weekend started, I want to share a few things that I’m lovin’ lately.

First things first, breakfast. I stumbled upon these paleo toaster waffles at Sprouts, and I’m obsessed. I’ve been trying to reduce my grain and sugar consumption (yet again) in order to heal my gut, and these are surprisingly good. I don’t typically crave savory breakfasts, so a couple of these topped with nut butter, sliced strawberries, and hemp seeds is my new favorite way to start the day… with collagen coffee of course.

Another recent food find is this Deep Dark Blackout Organic Chocolate by Alter Eco®. While I’m trying to reduce (key word) my sugar consumption, I still enjoy breaking off a piece of a quality dark chocolate bar on the daily. This bar is ridiculously smooth, buttery, and flavorful! It’s definitely a new favorite, and I hve tried a lot of 80+ percent cocoa dark chocolate bars.

This isn’t anything revolutionary, but I’ve been all about roasted potatoes. It helps that I finally figured how to cook them to perfection: cut up into fairly small pieces, toss in avocado oil + Trader Joe’s Everyday Seasonsing, and roast at 425F for 45 minutes. A hot oven makes all the difference.

I can’t help but laugh at this one as I reminisce of my 16-year-old self and distressed Abercrombie & Fitch jean jacket that was a staple in my high school wardrobe… but, I recently found some cute finds at both A&F and Aerie (American Eagle). Thanks to killer Memorial Day Weekend sales, I scored a few new pieces for summer that were affordable and will probably last me another 12+ years. ?

Lastly, I announced earlier this week that I am now offering customized skincare consultations as a Beautycounter Consultant. This is an individualized skincare consultation that allows me the opportunity to tailor specific Beautycounter product recommendations to fit your unique skin care needs. This complimentary service is for anyone who is interested in Beautycounter – whether you are a past, current, or prospective client. I would love to help you make the switch to safer skincare enjoyable and rewarding! Click here to complete the skincare questionnaire; I will follow-up with you personally with customized recommendations based on your answers.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Chat soon,

Hill

    I feel the same way about shopping at Abercrombie! I can still feel the teenager in me every time I step foot in there. But they’ve managed to keep things stylish for almost any age. You definitely found some cute stuff!

      Right!? Reminds me of being 14 again… but a lot of their styles somehow feel more mature + cute/trendy.

“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.

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.
