Since the “Stay at Home” mandate was announced just over 2 months ago, I think it’s safe to say our daily fashion choices have changed a bit. But just because we’re in quarantine doesn’t mean you can’t look cute! In fact, I would argue quarantine style is my favorite style in general. Yup, you read that right. I’m a self-declared comfort loving, athleisure queen. I love athleisure wear, or anything that is comfortable and can be styled easily from the street to the gym. These looks will allow you to seamlessly layer jackets, tops and cute sweatshirts over your fav leggings for quarantine and ..read more

Hi friends! Hope you are all staying safe and healthy. It’s been a minute since I’ve written my last blog – I guess in all honesty I haven’t been really sure what to post. The world is certainly a crazy place right now. It’s been about 8 weeks now since the Illinois COVID19 ‘Stay at Home’ mandate has been in effect (although I’m losing track of time) and I think it’s safe to say our lives have changed considerably since then. There have been quite a few major changes in my life, and I wanted to share some of the updates that have occurred over the past few weeks, as well as some of the realiz ..read more

Yesterday, I returned home from an amazing 10 day vacation in the Caribbean! My fiancé and I took a cruise from Miami to Haiti, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and then back to Miami. Many of you know my life has been laser focused on opening the new Chicago Loop CPY Yoga Studio since early November, and it was nice to take a break, relax and enjoy some sun (something we don’t have much of right now in Chicago!)  During this trip, I really focused on staying present in order to enjoy and soak up every minute. Sometimes it can be hard to disconnect and truly let go of the “real world”. However, distrac ..read more

Last weekend I was invited to be a speaker for The Chicago Blogger Union, a community of bloggers dedicated to growing together through kind collaboration. This specific event was about blogging and wellness in the age of social media – which is why I was so excited to be a discussion leader for the event! It was truly an honor to be asked to speak and talk about my experience as a blogger and what I’ve learned from the wellness & fitness industry. We met on a snowy Saturday morning at a beautiful new gym called Studios Fuse in Lincoln Park. It is a state-of-the-art facility with 4 separat ..read more

One of the most common questions I get is “how did you start your blog?”  A lot of people think that blogging is just taking pretty pictures and posting them to Instagram, but it’s really so much more than that. I try to shoot at least once a month, and each shoot takes weeks of prep work to plan and execute my personal vision. I’ve been blogging a little over 2 years now, and I still am learning and growing and evolving. Let me start by explaining WHY I started my blog. For a quick overview: I began as a model several years ago, and I found that I loved being a creative director for photoshoo ..read more

Imagine this – you arrive at the yoga studio with your purse, your big gym duffel bag and your mat all strapped to different shoulders. You’re in a hurry because you’re running late and can’t find your key tag to check in because its buried at the bottom of your bag. Sound familiar? Same. I love to be organized, but for whatever reason my gym bag is always a hot mess express. My backpack is always full of clean clothes, makeup, towels, etc. and I can never find what I need, when I need it. That’s why I was so excited to partner with Vooray – a company who specializes in gym bags, backpacks, an ..read more
