Hello, friends! I missed you this weekend! I spent my weekend up north in Minnesota, completely unplugged from technology and basking in the sunshine off Bay Lake. It was a really great time!

Weekend, Wedding + Workout {Video}
I loved hearing what all of you had to say about Insanity and summer workouts. I hope my posts continue to be helpful! Stick around for a video at the end of this post. It’s…sweat-tastic 🙂 What a whirlwind weekend! Tonight (Tuesday) is honestly the first chance I’ve had to sit down and write. I’m […]

From Paris, With Love
