Hi Friends! I hope you are enjoying some sunshine on this Memorial Day weekend. It’s the first official week of summer
Summer Wellness
In today’s newsletter, we’re going over the usual: healthy meals, yoga block workouts, your Nancy Meyer summer style and the skincare step you may want to include. Let’s get into some summer wellness!
Summer Salad Series: Caprese Steak
So many meals in our house come from using up leftovers. After a fridge filled with last night’s steak and some ingredients for caprese, this salad was born. Here’s what’s in this yummy summer salad.
- Arugula
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Bocconcini, or any mozzarella
- Pistachios
- Balsamic Vinaigrette
With a long weekend hosting guests, it’s going to be a lot of leftover this week. I’ll return the following week some menu inspo.
Yoga Blocks for Your Weekly Workouts
This week, we had a super fun and challenge barre class using a yoga block. If you’ve never used a yoga block during a workout, here are a few reasons to consider it:
- improved alignment // for better balance & strength
- increased accessibility to poses // for more space & support
- enhanced flexibility// for those with limited mobility
- Also, they add a challenge to exercises!
Of course there are a few yoga block workouts on the channel for you to try for free. For beginners, I would try this workout, this workout for a little more challenge, and if you are really working on balance, give this one a chance!
Need some yoga blocks for your at home workout?
- FOAM YOGA BLOCK: These are better for knee support and using on your back. Soft, lightweight.
- CORK YOGA BLOCK: These are better for standing on as they are sturdier. Firmer, adds some weight.
Is LED light good for your face?
A few months ago, I added an LED light mask to my skincare routine. After reading all the positive benefits combined with being a 45 year old who is trying to go the graceful route to aging, I decided this was right for me.
The benefits of using an at home LED mask include reduction of inflammation, pigmentation, and redness. It helps prompt cellular repair and circulation for a more vibrant complexion and collagen production. And some devices include blue light that fights bacteria that causes acne.
My device of choice is the Omnilux Contour Face. I use it in the morning before any makeup application for 10 minutes while getting ready, about 3-4 mornings per week.

Nancy Meyers Summer Style
You may know my obsession on calming coastal blues, but I also love a classic, timeless look. And that’s why we cannot ignore the style of the iconic Meredith Blake.
Hopefully, you’ve come to a justice for Meredith moment after all these years. I mean, finding out the man you are engaged to didn’t mention the daughter he shipped away to live in London and then let said daughter and her twin put you on a mattress on a river is a deal breaker in my book. Nevertheless, her black and white signature look is one to copy.
If you’re headed to a chic destination this summer or want to just look chic, here is your mood board.
