• Do you find it hard to get back on track to a somewhat normal life. I understand we are stuck inside the boundaries of our home’s perimeter but waiting on pins and needles for the government to let us know how long this quarantine will last is anxiety inducing. It’s been a Darin on my energy and I haven’t felt like myself lately. The last few days I’ve tried to get back into being active wether it’s running in place or jumping jacks or whatever fitness challenge is popular at the moment. I tried to start my day with the exercise because it seems to boost my energy but more importantly boost my positivity... that can run low these days. Do I challenge you to start your day with at least 15min of exercise (whatever that means to you) but get your heart rate up and let me know if it helped your mood. Today I did my 100 squats and ran 1 mile in my fav running shoes. #exercisemotivation #runningshoes

  • This week I’ve been really focusing on taking care of skin from head to toe. Spending most hours inside, my skin has gotten dry and flaky so I have been really focusing on using great body wash products that won’t strip my skin. So far my fav brands of #bodywash are: @caudalie fleur de vigne @korres shower gel @soldejaneiro moisturizing shower gel @dove dry skin relief @necessaire eucalyptus body wash @cerave hydrating body wash @niveausa basil and white tea body wash @dermalogica conditioning body wash @theouai body cleanser @kaifragrance rose body wash
  • I’ll take 2 with a side of sunshine please.
  • Pretty much sums up our household lol... finally having fun making tik tok videos #chicago #chicagoliving #stayhome
  • In the last week I’ve been testing these serums form @yslbeauty ... i have some initial thoughts but will wait the full month to report back.

  • A little message from us and our furry friends. It’s more important then ever to practice social distancing because staying home is the best way to not spread or contract the virus. If you think you aren’t sick... you can’t know for sure because symptoms don’t pop up right away. Especially if you have a stronger immune system. If you think you’re too young to be affected... you are wrong. And if you think it’s no big deal and people are overreacting... you are just plain ignorant. So stay home, stay safe, save lives. It’s the only choice at this point. #stayhome #staysafe #stayinghomesaveslives #socialdistancing #flattenthecurvechi
  • Strike a pose, do a workout. Wether it’s in your back yard (if you are lucky to have one) or in your living room, putting on workout clothing WILL MOTIVATE you to work out, I promise! I’m wearing JoyLab from Target (one of my fav brands) it’s super cute, fits great, looks flattering, and is affordable and easily found at Target! I’ve linked it in my @liketoknow.it in case you want to pick it up next time you get groceries delivered from Target #joylab #joylabtarget #activewear #workoutathome 📸 @munopia
  • This recipe I found on www.gimmesomeover.com is super easy and the focaccia bread is so tasty! I know you can make this so next time you’re craving some bread give this recipe a try. Directions: Add warm water (about 110°F, which you can measure with a thermometer if you want to be sure it’s the right temp) and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough attachment, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water. Give the yeast a quick stir to mix it in with the water. Then let it sit for 5-10 minute until the yeast is foamy. Turn the mixer onto low speed, and add gradually flour, olive oil and salt. Increase speed to medium-low, and continue mixing the dough for 5 minutes. (If the dough is too sticky and isn’t pulling away from the sides of the bowl, add in an extra 1/4 cup flour while it is mixing.) Remove dough from the mixing bowl, and use your hands to shape it into a ball. Grease the mixing bowl (or a separate bowl) with olive oil or cooking spray, then place the dough ball back in the bowl and cover it with a damp towel. Place in a warm location (I set mine by the window) and let it rise for 45-60 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size. Preheat oven to 400°F. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and roll it out into a large circle or rectangle until that the dough is about 1/2-inch thick*. Cover the dough with a greased piece of plastic wrap, and let the dough continue to rise for another 20 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap, and transfer the dough to a large baking sheet. Use your fingers to poke deep dents (seriously, poke all the way down to the baking sheet!) all over the surface of the dough. Then drizzle a tablespoon or two of olive oil evenly all over the top of the dough, and sprinkle evenly with the fresh rosemary needles and sea salt. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the dough is slightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired. Slice, and serve warm.
