New Home New Habits
Let’s talk about motivation and routine two things I’ve been finding both a little hard to keep up with. Funny enough, my best friend and I were just talking about this today. How staying motivated and consistent can feel so hard when life changes and routines get shaken up.
Between not so much unpacking anymore, but more just adjusting , I’ll be honest my mind has been running nonstop with home décor ideas, paint colors, and furniture plans for our new space. That alone has me scrolling way more than I should some days, and honestly, that’s probably the real struggle. I’ve also realized that so much of my daily structure used to revolve around work, and now that it’s on pause, it’s surprisingly tough to reset.
This week, though, I’m finally starting to find a bit of balance. I’ve been starting my mornings with ACTIVATEDYOU favorite flavor is citrus which has really helped with digestion. For years I’ve struggled with bloating and constipation, but this is one product that’s truly made a difference. I’m feeling lighter and more energized.
And today, I went for a run! I probably only ran twice while we were in Massachusetts, so this felt like a big step. I loved it. I even had to switch up my route because of nearby construction, and that little detour turned into a much-needed reminder that sometimes change leads you exactly where you need to go.
Starting My Wellness Journey, One Juice at a Time
It all begins with an idea.
It’s been about a month now since we settled into our new home here in Texas. Coming from Massachusetts, it’s definitely been a journey — one filled with excitement, adjustment, and a little bittersweetness. Leaving Massachusetts meant leaving behind a familiar rhythm, but it’s also given me something I didn’t realize I needed: space to breathe.
As I start my job search, I’m taking things slow — really thinking about what I feel passionate about and what aligns with this new chapter. The downtime has been… well, different. At first, it felt strange not to be constantly busy, but now I’m learning to appreciate it. I’m enjoying being present with my family — and for the first time in a long time, truly present with myself.
With that said, moving to a new area and new home means trying new things. My hope is that the fun discoveries I come across — whether it’s local spots, new foods, or wellness and beauty finds — will inspire you too.
Right now, I’m kicking things off with a little reset: a one-day cleanse from Pressed Juicery. I’m about halfway through my juices, and honestly, I feel great. Every few hours, just as hunger starts to creep in, it’s time for the next bottle. It’s keeping me mindful and refreshed — exactly what I needed to start feeling balanced again.
Here’s to slowing down, embracing change, and finding new ways to nourish both mind and body.

I couldn’t just ignore the fact that I actually finished my cleanse yesterday and well lets just say I cheated. Around 7 p.m., the hunger definitely kicked in. You know how it goes — the kids never quite finish their dinner, and as I was cleaning up and chatting with my husband, I took a small bite of chicken. Instant regret! But hey, I think I’ll survive.
This morning I felt a bit bloated (honestly, still kind of do), but I’m hopeful tomorrow I’ll feel more balanced.
Since I couldn’t unwind with a glass of wine last night, I decided to go all in on pampering instead. I treated myself to a facial — my favorite is Lush cosmetics, one I used last night was Don’t Look at Me and but couldnt go without mentioning the Mask of Magnaminty, both amazing. We always keep them in the fridge, and with this Texas heat, that cool feeling on my skin is everything.
Despite the lingering bloat, I woke up this morning with glowing skin — so I’ll take that as a win!
