June Favorites

July 10, 2017 by Hillary 2 Comments

Hey there & happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a great start. I realize it’s already July 10th (slow down there, Summer!), but I want to backtrack to share a few favorites from June. Summer has sure been treating me well; it’s honestly been one of the best summers that I can remember, and it’s just getting started.

Without further ado, here are a few June favorites…

Lululemon Cut Back Crop Tank [currently on sale in select sizes] | Guys, I have been living in this tank all summer. I originally bought it in white and grey and then had to get it in black and navy too. So now that I have it in all four colors, I’m wearing it on the regular (usually paired with my absolute favorite High Waist Speed Short).

Kauai Vacation | Perhaps why June was such a stellar month was because I spent the first 10 days of the month on the lush island of Kauai with my family. Snorkeling with turtles, hiking the Napali Coast, sipping fresh coconut water, driving around the island chasing rainbows, listening to Iz — take me back to Paradise!

PopSugar Must Have Box | The cute and practical Aloha Coco Palms splash-proof pouch and sea salt hair spray had me instantly dreaming of Kauai. I’ll definitely be packing these two items for upcoming summer adventures.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary June Must Have Box. This is not sponsored and, as always, opinions are always my own.

Henna | Every summer I’ve gotta get a temporary henna tattoo from Henna Trails. I decided to do a “trust your artist” design a couple of weeks ago and loved how it turned out. Since the dye only last 7-10 days, I’m already itching to get another.

More Favorites

Round Tortoise Sunglasses |I accidentally said good-bye to my beloved Ray-ban aviators, but these $12 Target shades have been a welcome change in style and are suitable for afternoons at the river or SUP-ing on the lake.

MindBodyGreen Emails | I’ve been reading MBG for quite some time, but not until recently did I start receiving their daily emails. There’s usually at least one article that jumps out at me each day (i.e. How Long Does It Actually Take to Heal Your Gut).

Cosmedix Serum 16 | Ever since my dermatologist recommended I use a product with retinol, I’ve been using Rapid Renewal Serum most every night and I feel like it’s improved the tone and texture of my skin, as well as kept most breakouts at bay. Now that I am 28, I am riding the wrinkle prevention train from here on out.

So June was uh-mazing, period. Seeing that July is panning out to be just as wonderful, I’ll be back at the end of month with more summer favorites.

What are your June/July favorites?

“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.
