#1 Way to Level Up Your Bedroom

When we moved into our new home a few weeks ago I knew that I wanted to be mindful about the products we brought into our home. My goal was to fill our home with non-toxic products that were healthy for us and the planet.

The only caveat, I didn’t want to sacrifice luxury.

Luckily, non-toxic living has come a long way in the last few years, we no longer have to trade luxury for health and sustainability.

One of the rooms I was most excited to overhaul was our bedroom! After a long day as a new mama I’m typically covered in spit up, drool, and who knows what else, let’s be honest… I so look forward to climbing into my bed. It’s finally my time to breathe, unwind, and just be.

I had first heard about the Cariloha bed sheets about a year ago, and knew they were all the rage … but were they really worth it? Would they really be that lux if they were non-toxic and sustainable? I knew this was the perfect time to try them out! After all we spend about a 1/3 of our life in bed… although I’d argue that it’s much less if you’re a new mom.

We have been using the Resort Sheets for about a week now and wow. I’m a big texture person, and absolutely love how soft and silky these sheets are! They are also odor and allergen resistant… I no longer worry about those postpartum sweats, IYKYK.

Changing our bedding was such a simple fix, but it really upgraded our entire space!

Now thru Monday November 28th Cariloha Naples is offering 40% EVERYTHING in store PLUS receive a free gift when you use code LEAN and GREEN at checkout.

{offer applies in store and over the phone.. they will ship anywhere!}

I’m all about minimalism, and fewer better pieces. I like to create a list of wants through the year and mindfully purchase them when sales like this pop up. So if sheets, bedding, or even loungewear are on your wants list now is the time to stock up!

I hope you'll forgive me...

Hi friends! It feels so good to connect with you again in this format. I’ve truly missed writing and the connection to my Lean and Green Body® family!

As I sat down to write this I noticed that it’s my first blog post since April 6?!? This has been the longest I have ever gone between blogs…ever!

I started my blog just over seven years ago, and it has been such a fun way to build a community, share recipes, wellness tips and so much more. There has been a ton of change and incredible pivots on my end (hello, baby Bodhi!) and I can’t wait to share it all with you!

Since it’s been a minute…more like 5 months… I thought it would be best to use this first blog post and update you on my life lately!

When I was pregnant with Bodhi I imagined sharing my postpartum journey in a real and raw way, and slowly transitioning that as he grew and sharing our mother son journey. While this is still my intention, and I will be sharing some fun things with Bodhi soon; becoming a Mother changed me. I have been incredibly open about so many parts of my life (painful and joyous) and this transition into Motherhood has been somewhat unexpected. I have wanted to keep many parts of my new Mama journey offline and private, not because they are bad - quite the opposite in fact. The past (nearly) 6 months have been so good and incredibly life changing that I have wanted to soak in every second and be as present of a mother and wife as I could be.

Stepping into my motherhood journey has been a beautiful (and let’s be real exhausting) time. It has transformed me in ways that I didn’t even realize were possible, and has opened up parts of me that I thought had been closed for good.

Bodhi has brought new meaning to my life and has allowed me to view my life, and my work, in a whole new way. I only have so much time and energy each day, and I have been very intentional about how I spend those currencies.

Bodhi is a Sanskrit name meaning enlightenment or awakening; and his birth has truly has been a time of awakening for me.

I hope you’ll forgive me for not been as present with all of you online (it’s been terrible for my SEO and engagement rate) but I have needed these past few months to just be.

Stepping into my new role has been a big transition for me, even though I have waited for this moment my entire life, there is only so much you can understand until you’re actually in it. Moving from full time entrepreneur, founder and boss to full time mama and part time boss babe has been huge.

I have welcomed these changes and done my best to find some sort of balance with it all…but does balance really exists??

Thank you for giving me space to adjust, grow and learn. I am ready to rejoin this community, and I can not thank you enough for sticking around - grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel.

There is so much I want to share with you this Fall, from mom-life, recipes (for baby too!), wellness and self care hacks and tips, and so much more!

I also have some fun collaborations and new brands I have discovered over the past few months that I can’t wait to share!.
