Agree to disagree. It’s important to be able to have healthy communication styles with your partner. You don’t have to agree. But you do need to be respectful of one another.

When We Tried Orange Theory....
I have been wanting to try a class for a long time so when my friends said they were going I was all in. You get one free class and then can decide to sign up for a monthly membership. We didn’t sign up not because we didn’t like it but the price point is sort of out of budget and we didn’t feel it was a class we couldn’t live without BUT with that said it’s a really cool experience.
You’re hooked up to a heart monitor. You want to be in green range and really try to get to orange and red. You earn splat points when you reach peak. Peak means you get up to 36 hrs of fat burning calories after your work out.
There are three stations. You do rotations. They had the water rowers. Treadmill and then floor exercises with bands and weights and these awesome arm
exercises off the wall. Those were my favorite. There’s an instructor and music blasting. Really fun. The class is 1 hour.
My sciatica has been acting up the last month so it didn’t help having the discomfort during the class but the best part is you go at your pace and take a break if you needed to.
Needless to say go check out a class and see if it’s a fit for you. We really were proud of ourselves for trying it.

Amazon Returns at Kohl’s in Norwalk
This is awesome!! I did this and it’s perfect. You don’t even need your slip. They can box the return for you and ship it out. No fee. They give you a coupon at Kohl’s to use after.
What’s Your Mood Today...What Do You Need?
Every once in a while I take out my stones. I hold them and see which one gives off heat. To me it means I need some of that energy. So today was the goldstone. Means I need more Happy Thoughts, Healing Energy.
It was accurate to the type of day I had. But felt better knowing that so far I haven’t been dealt anything I couldn’t handle. 🤎
Savvy & Grace in Westport
I could spent hours in this store. It’s filled with inspiration. Great vibes. Cute signs and bags and notebooks and cards and candles and everything a girl needs. If you’re ever in Westport please go. We walked about feeling happy and grateful and Inspired. Their website doesn’t do the store justice because the store is so freaking adorable.
Morning Walk at Vet’s Park in Norwalk
I had all intentions of heading to the gym even though I signed up to try a new class someplace else tonight. Then my mom reminded me to get my car looked at and to not over do my workouts. But working from home you don’t get a lot of steps in. I like to start morning with 5k since most of day I sit and work.
So today I got the best of both worlds. My car looked at and a walk with an amazing view while my car was at the shop. I even hit my 5k
I was one happy girl!
It’s the little things in life that make big impacts. I hope you too started your day on the right foot.
Life is So Short
With all these tragedies that have taken place near and far it’s a reminder to not take life for granted. To forgive quickly. Not hold a grudge. Tell people you love them and they matter to you. I always tell people how much I appreciate them. Be sure to too.

Love From a Distance
Anyone you once loved you always carry a piece of them in your heart. Sometimes still in your mind and that’s all ok. You can continue your life without them and still wish them well.
See if someone wants to be in your life they would. One lesson I learned. Take that advice and carry on with yours ❤️
Puerto Vallarta at The Taste Of Fairfield
I loved this table. My daughter at bedtime said I must have been Spanish in my previous life. Funny second person to say it this weekend. This Mexican Restaurant was on point. The plantains were delicious the steak tacos and taquitos were so fun and packed with flavor. Loved the alcohol samples they handed out too. So refreshing. I can’t wait to go here.
Taking it Back...The Real Way To Eat Dulce De Leche
I couldn’t find the wafers so I had to order them online. When they came in I was so excited. It was the real authentic wafers. My childhood rushed back to me.
I remember hanging at my friends house who is Colombian and she would make us this. It’s my favorite. I would later buy it at Los Sopreso in Norwalk but haven’t seen it there in years.
You spread the dulce de leche on the other side which is smooth.
I can’t wait for my kids to try it. They already love the little cups I gave them. Which come with cute little spoon I even brought one to a friend of mine who is Colombian and he couldn’t believe it. He used to eat the little cups as a kid. I gave him a couple to have his dad try too. He was so happy.
When you go through the stages and layers of healing and finding yourself you like to reconnect to things in your past that bring up happy memories. This is one of them for me. I hope you too enjoy the little joys in life.
Men You Don’t Have to Be So Tough
Love this. It’s ok for men to be gentle and kind. I love a sweet teddy bear. A man who is in the moment. Not distracted. One who feels connected to you when you’re together and talking. Men soften up. Also do what makes your heart fully happy.
Get Uncomfortable
Inorder to change and grow you need to get uncomfortable with yourself. You need to face reality. Sometimes we live a fairytale life to hid from our truths. You can’t do that. You have to face them and deal so you can heal.
Nothing ugly with changing for the better. Just some ugly truths you have to deal with during the process.
Old Post Tavern Braised Short Ribs with Jalapeño Mashed Potatoes
This was a favorite for my oldest and youngest. The jalapeño mashed potatoes were green but NOT spicey. The jalapeño are pre roasted and then masted. It was then plated with short ribs on top and mini fried onion rings. Delicious. We can’t wait to go here. https://www.oldposttavern.com/
