Currently Loving: October

Hey Friends!!

 

There was so much great feedback on the ‘Currently Loving’ September, that I wanted to keep it up this month, sharing favorites, current events in my life, as well as some exclusive links and offers available only to my email subscribers.

 

Here we go with Currently Loving Volume 2!

 

I'd love it if you wanted to reply back to me and tell me what you think!

Currently feeling: cold - all.the.time. There is rarely a moment in the day I don't have a warm cup of something in my hands or some Cozy Earth threads draped around my body. And I've passed on this comfort-gene on to my kids. They agree that there is no better way to start or end the day than in a favorite (lucky) sweatshirt and with a steaming cup of hot chocolate. It's all about de-stressing for me these days, and this is one of my favorite, simple ways to practice self-care and restoration.

Currently obsessing: THIS chocolate. Have you heard of Jojo's? It is premium dark chocolate with high-quality protein and less sugar. If you caught my snippet on stories, you heard me say I would take this Peanut Butter Delight bar over a Reese's any day. No contest - Jojo's hits all the marks: quality ingredients, unbeatable taste and great macros. One full-sized bar comes in at 190 calories, 14 fat, 9 carbs and 6 protein - the perfect sized treat for me. Check out the other flavors and ingredients for yourself! And brand new...you can use code Katie to save 10%. 

 

Hesitant because you think you can't stop at just one? Let's fix that.

Currently dreaming: remember last year when some of us were complaining about the snow that fell on Halloween? Well, that seems pretty trivial now. My kids LIVE for trick-or-treating, so the fact that it won't be happening this year is more traumatizing than any scary story. So my husband found these tiny glow-sticks

which we'll put in some old Easter eggs, along with a piece of candy and hide around our yard. Add some other fun glow in the dark Halloween accouterments and we've just (hopefully) sold the kids on a new kind of hybrid holiday. Calling it Halloweaster. I hope we never see it again. 

Currently eating: some version of chili every day! Always with Bolthouse dressing and always over greens. I made two batches of Rainbow Chili while we were in Breckenridge and as soon as we returned home, I fired up the instant pot to double-batch my Healthy Mexican Chili. Next up is my family's favorite, the Chicken Enchilada Soup! Did you know you can find any one of my posts or recipes simply by searching with a keyword? This link takes you to a one-stop-shop where you have simple, searchable access to all my recipes, posts and discounts!

Currently feeling: Restored by nature. Spending 10 days in Colorado was just the reset my body and mind needed. You can checkout the highlights here. If you've been following along, you know my health journey took an unexpected pivot recently and I needed some time to be reminded of what health really means to me. Hint: it has nothing to do with scale weight, a dexa scan or performance in the gym. It is all about how resilient I am to my environment, and I'll be sharing more on this soon! Along with much more background on what landed me here in the first place, after living in what I thought was my healthiest body.

Currently listening: Serial’s latest release, Nice White Parents. This came out in July and is a five-part series about building a better school system and what gets in the way. A great eye-opener about impact vs. intent, and how our systematic racism cheats kids even when the (white) people holding the purse strings believe they have the best of intentions...yet can’t seem to get past personal biases about what ‘best’ looks like. This series had me both moved and reminded that if we sit in white America, we need to educate ourselves.

Currently hearing: “I am so sick of politics”
