Hey friends & happy August!
Summer is flying by… like how is it the eighth month of the year already!? Anyways… since I haven’t gotten my act together to put together a July Favorites post, I thought I’d pop in today with a few tidbits and to say hey!
1 // Gratitude journaling. Reading. Baking all the grain-free granola and almond flour banana coconut muffins. These things are bringing me bits of peace to what feels like an overwhelming and confusing season of life.
2 // I’m headed to Montana mañana for family vacation #2. It’s going to be a quick trip, but I’m excited to spend time in the mountains with family I don’t see nearly enough.
3 // I tweaked my (other) knee in the gym last week. Luckily, it seems to be feeling better, but I can’t say I didn’t freak out thinking about another possible knee injury.
4 // My current fixation is the gut-mind connection. I’ve been reading article after article, and it truly fascinates me. What struck me recently was this article that mentions the connection between E.coli bacteria (read: my personal story here), leaky gut, and inflammation. Mind blown.
5 // I get way too excited on Tuesday afternoons (yes, every Tuesday) when I remember Lululemon has new products up for sale. Dangerous.
6 // Got my first pair of Birkenstocks and can’t help but think of my mama every time I wear them. I mean, I know they’re “in” now, but I still can’t help but to think of my mom wearing them 15 years ago when they were uncool to my then teenage self.
That’s all the #TuesdayTidbits I have for today. Time to squeeze in a quick workout and pack!
Do you have any final summer travel plans?
What brings you ease and peace during long stretches of overwhelm?
