|| Getting in the Zone ||

Note to self: moving at 1000 mph does not a more productive and successful woman make. In doing so, I (Emily) ended up with a coffee-fried computer, an unscheduled 5 day break, and a desire to tear my head off my head. Cue the need to reset and refresh, coming back with a better than ever mindset. New content went published this week, even though last week's Finds had to go unpublished (frown & sigh). That being said, I've got some great ones for you this week! For the weekend, I'll be DIYing some shorts, a crop top, and a bralette and reading this great book. Cheers to the freakin' weekend!

+ What are you up to this weekend?

Latest on the blog // Did you miss my newest recipe: Avocado Toast? Do you consider yummy foods treats or cheats? Lastly, how do you deal with setbacks?

Getting ready for my next trip, I always turn to packing tips & tricks. This 5-4-3-2-1 guide is gold.

Funny, I was just thinking about doing this. Favorite Trader Joe's picks! Yummo!

Stop saying you're "fine" and say what you actually think.

|| and the plates keep spinning ||

Trying to type faster to get all of this done really makes me wonder how my brain doesn't short circuit and cut out all the time. Crazy. No digital detox for me this week! So many ideas, not enough time, too much to do! Breathe, Em, breathe. I have all of these plates spinning, balancing on thinly constructed pegs, and I should be concerned, but I love them all with such a passion that I don't want any of them to fall and break. At the same time, I don't want to take any of them off their peg, even for a second. Do you have the same problem? Worth a post on it's own, I think. Stay tuned, it'll be here next week.

Did you miss what a health coach was or getting down and dirty with toxins?

Love DIYs -- Pine Serving Tray.

Buy these things now if you see them at the Farmers Market.

Netflix did what?!

The 'new' eating disorder on the block. Something myself and I'm sure some of you have struggled with.

Was just thinking of breaking in new t-shirts. Check. Manifested.

Explore, love, hope, and be yourself. Always.

|| two days of R & R ... and lots of work ||

I had a little panic attack just now when I convinced myself that summer was over, and I had done nothing and was a total non-success -- ever have those days? It's not even officially summer, I've done plenty, will do plenty, and am already a success. Just. Like. You. It's normal to psyche yourself out every once and awhile, but important to be realistic and take a breath. You are doing so so so much. Seriously. Even on your worst day, just imagine how all of your cells are moving in harmony, and your body is humming -- even if it's in pain -- working hard hard hard at keeping you alive and thriving. So curve the corners of your lips into a smile, keep in on your face for the rest of the day, and remind yourself that today, you are enough, and you have plenty of life left to make everything happen. So stop stressing. Friday Friyay!

Have you tried to digitally detox yet? Maybe this weekend is exactly the right time. Read my post on it here.
