So, the motivation is there. Now what? Where do I start? Well, my mom ordered me a book she enjoyed by Dr. Livingood (yes, that's his real name - talk about a call on your life). This book is a 21-day guide to experience real health. Want to join me in reading? He is offering the book for the costs of shipping on his website!
From there I'm building a community of virtual and local friends with the same goals. Some are beginners and some are a wealth of knowledge, but all are wonderful accountability, encouragement, and support.
Combine the renewed motivation with renewed purpose and a plan and I'm starting to feel sunny!
Alright, let's get to fashion!
Matchy-Matchy
I had fun with this look because I styled my old thermal, tunic top with a new jacket from Caite & Kyla that was an exact shade match! Coincidentally, my old LOFT cords are an exact shade match with my newer boots from Enjoiya, who are offering 30% off sitewide. Then to top it off, they all fit together!! Talk about feeling sunny. Wink, wink.
Navy & Denim
Speaking of "sunny" and health motivators, Evan and I visited the Sunny Culture shop. We toured their water kefir facility and came home with probiotic drinks to amp up our gut health. I truly believe it all starts there!! Also, if you're on Instagram, I'm doing a story takeover on their account this Saturday!
While on our visit Evan asked Ranny, a co-owner and developer, so many questions. What is a SCOBY? How do you make a SCOBY? You feed a SCOBY? And in case, you're wondering as well, SCOBY stands for Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast. There's lots of science behind developing fermented drinks and why you should drink them, but I'll leave that for another day. However, if you're interested in learning more/adding these to your routine, check out their WEBSITE. I'm also a proud affiliate with a fabulous code for 15% off: granolandgrace.
Shades of Green
I loved this combo of dark and light olive. Throw in a little embroidery for added detail and I'm ready to go. This entire outfit is c/o Caite & Kyla, XCVI, and Enjoiya.
Adore the pictures of you by the drink machine! You always bring the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteLove all your looks!! I just got a new pair of Cords from Target and I'm excited to wear them.
ReplyDeleteChrissy, I am loving all of these looks featured in this post! And I am currently listening to Dr. Livingood's testimony about his book. I may have to order a copy for myself. Just the past few weeks, I have decided that major improvements were necessary for me. I have made small dietary changes and added daily yoga to my routine. Now I can't even imagine starting my day without yoga! In just a few weeks, I have noticed my mental health improve significantly. And if I don't have good mental health, I don't have much to work with! Keep shining bright, my friend!

Love your sun-shiny look! And the book sounds wonderful- if I weren't so behind with what I'm already reading, I would join you for sure! xx
ReplyDeleteYou just brought sunshine to my day and I agree, health care is so essential. I have been trying to keep moving on a daily basis because with remote learning we are sitting down all day. I love how a little bit of movement helps make me feel better. I hope you are week is going well so far and happy Wednesday!

Ok, so many things! Your outfits are all really cute, especially that floral jacket. Dr. Livegood. That is seriously the best name ever! I could talk about health and wellness for hours haha. Definitely check out Darin Olien and that Down to Earth show on Netflix. Forks Over Knives and In Defense of Food are also both really good documentaries. When its comes to media, I stick with my favorite news show and my local news. I hope that you are having a sunny and glorious day too!! XO, Caroline
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great book that I need to check out! Love the name of the author! Also loving all of these effortless looks!
