Spending time outdoors, offers a much-needed reset Spending time outdoors, offers a much-needed reset for the mind and body. Summer can be magical! β˜€οΈπŸ˜ŠπŸŒ³

Surrounded by nature, we naturally slow down, breathe deeper, and become more present in each moment. The simple act of waking up to the sounds of birds, the rustling of leaves, or the gentle lapping of waves grounds us in a way that no alarm clock ever could. Without screens and distractions, conversations deepen, connections strengthen, and laughter becomes more frequent and heartfelt. Nature has a way of softening the noise in our heads, making room for clarity, calm, and renewed creativity.

Camping πŸ•οΈπŸŒ³ invites us to embrace simplicityβ€”cooking meals over an open fire, playing games, etc… we moved, stretched, morning yoga sessions - amazing way to wake up body, mind, clear the mind, feel truly connected to the earth beneath us. 

Being in nature also enhances mental health by reducing cortisol levels, lowering stress, and promoting a sense of peace. Studies show that time spent outdoors can improve focus, boost mood, and even alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Watching children explore the world around them with curiosity reminds us of the joy in discovery and imagination. Their laughter, unfiltered and spontaneous, becomes contagious, lifting the spirits of everyone around. Dancing by the fire, under the open sky, reconnects us with a sense of freedom and embodiment that’s often lost in structured daily life. The fresh air and physical activity keep the body energized, while the absence of urban noise creates a mental stillness that allows for reflection.

Our weekend has truly been magical, shared with friends who made every moment richer. Thank you @jo_cook81 @walesy1 , Marcy, and Jenson for coming alongβ€”it was a true pleasure to be with you at the weekend. Great weekend! Until next time… 

Keep exploring, keep creating, and keep being free this Summer. Till we gather again!

Being outside reminds us how little we actually ne Being outside reminds us how little we actually need to feel whole. 

Camping πŸ•οΈ strips life down to the essentials β€” and somehow, that makes everything feel more full. Fresh air, natural light, and the rhythm of the wild do something no screen ever could. 

Out here, your mind quiets and your body remembers how to breathe deeply again. The stress unwinds without you even noticing. There’s no performance in the woods β€” just presence. Cooking over a fire, sleeping under the stars, waking up to birdsong β€” it resets something ancient in us. Nature has a way of healing you, even when you didn’t know you needed healing. πŸŒ³πŸ•οΈ

Being out here is more than a break; it’s medicine. And every time I come back, I feel more human.

What about you β€” has camping, sleeping under the stars, or just being outside ever shifted something in you?

Caught in the rain on my way from the studio β€” a Caught in the rain on my way from the studio β€” and what a blessing! 🌧️ 

After days of heat, this little thunderstorm felt like life itself. Water is everything β€” essential, powerful, beautiful. 

Soaking it in - literally, and reminding myself to enjoy both the rain and the sunshine. 🌦️

Hey and happy Friday!β˜€οΈβœ¨ Here are my Top 5 Hey and happy Friday!β˜€οΈβœ¨

Here are my Top 5 Favorites to Stay Hydrated this summer – and I am inviting you to try  them too!

1. Watermelon πŸ‰ – Over 90% water and full of lycopene – great for skin and inflammation.

2. Cucumber & Celery πŸ₯’ – Both super hydrating. Cucumber is juicy, and celery adds fiber – perfect picnic snack with hummus!

3. Peach πŸ‘ – Sweet, juicy, and loaded with vitamins C, A, and fiber – great for digestion.

4. Strawberries πŸ“ – Antioxidants, vitamin C, water, and fiber – love these homegrown ones!

5. Coconut Water πŸ₯₯ – Packed with electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium – a must after being in the sun or exercising. Choose the one without sugar. 

πŸ’§ Bonus: Filtered water with fresh mint and cucumber from the garden – keeps me sipping all day long!

What’s your  Summer hydration favorites ? πŸŒΏβ˜€οΈ 

Happy Hot Summer & Stay cool, hydrated and playful! πŸ˜€β˜€οΈβœ¨
