let’s eat the good stuff and push through the rough stuff

Setting aside time to create movement for myself isn’t always easy. Mom guilt is a real thing and even though my baby girl is a grown woman, it doesn’t mean that I don’t feel guilty, even now when I could legit retire from parenting ha!

Movement to me is my mental health. Making time for myself isn’t selfish (and f*ck it if it is), it makes me a better mom, a better girlfriend, and a better human. It opens up space in my mind to take on the day and I’m thankful for an able body that allows me to move through the muck of it all.

Connecting to our community and coaching you is a purpose of mine and giving you my energy in a place where we can laugh and sweat together (sup Zoom) is my passion. I’d love for us to not get used to the loss of human connection that this year has brought on. Let’s bring it back and eat the good stuff and push through the rough stuff. So if you’d like to move through it with us, I’ve got you.

Here are my picks for you and for the fitness lovers in your life <3

  • Lacey’s Holiday Deals + Steals – whether it be a package of Zoom classes to work out with us, your 7 day meal plan, the virtual platform, or Lacey’s Stone Tone Core program it’s all here! I hope to see you at least 3x a week to move it out and to keep it movin’!
  • Turmeric Salve – we work out at least 3 days a week and in Zoom camps we work out 5 days a week… this salve has saved my muscles. I do a bath bomb or bath soak from The Flower Pot, pop out of the bath and rub on some salve and thennn…
  • Stress Finesse – to finesse my stress I love all of TFP tinctures and this one does what it says and says what it does. Zen through plant power, I love to drop this in mid-day, light a candle, and child’s pose
  • Super Beauty Vitamins – collagen … free radicals … oxidative damage – oh my! These lil beauty babies are vitamins that protect against oxidative damage, promote collagen production, and neutralize free radicals. I keep them by my bed side table so I don’t forget to take them, rotating through these and my Ritual vitamins which you’ve heard me talk about before
  • CBD Pre-Rolled Spliffs – the word spliff is just fun to say, try it aloud. These are Barbari Airplane Mode CBD spliffs! They’re pre-rolled relaxation with CBD-rich hemp flower so you can toke it on up and relax it on down. I feel very speak easy when I smoke these chillin’ just in my robe (BONUS: enter FLOWERPOTFRIDAYS at checkout for 15% off your TFP cart!)
  • FRE Skincare – this skincare line was specifically designed for skin that sweats. I mean, how perfect is that so we don’t burn our eyes out when we’re sweating our faces off. Complete with a face wash, serum, hydrating SPF, and detox mask – they’re having a sale right now and it comes with a traveling bag so it’s perfect for under the tree or as a stocking stuffer!

So there you have it ya cool cats and kittens! My personal fitness faves, from me to you, from you to yourself, or from you to a loved one … because nothing says “I love you” like the gift of health (mental health, heart health, and physical health) <3

Tell me where you are in your shopping to do’s … 1) are you just getting started 2) did you start in February bc you’re annoying like that jkjkjkjkjk or 3) do you wait until the night before and scramble to wrap something?

How to Have the Perfect Pamper Night

by with No Comment self care

Self-care is something that I make a point to do every single day, and I am very open about how much of a self-care advocate I am. I love skincare, relaxing, and simply taking some time for me. Taking it a step further and setting an entire night aside to dedicate to pampering yourself will help you feel rejuvenated and relaxed. 

Here are some ideas of what you can do to have the perfect pamper night and enjoy some ‘me time’. 


Draw a relaxing bath

Start by setting up your bathroom for a relaxing bath. Do a deep clean, set out fresh towels, and set your space however you like it. Then draw your bath and add in your favorite combination of essential oils, Epsom salt, flower petals and a bath bomb. A bath is a great way to release tension in your body and help calm the mind as you relax. Plus, there is something about a bath over a shower that screams pamper night.

Apply a facemask 

I love a good facemask. After removing makeup and a gentle cleanse, apply a facemask to target a specific skin concern and indulge in a little extra skin treatment while you take your bath and let it soak in. Natural and gentle products like those from the skin care line of Blue Lagoon feel luxurious and will treat your skin without stripping it. 


Light a candle

A gorgeous smelling candle adds to the ambiance of your pamper night and can help you to relax. With its soft lighting, you can turn off direct lights and further ease into that state of calm.  


Pour yourself some champagne 

A glass of champagne is so often saved for celebration, and a night of pampering is cause for celebration! Treat yourself and pour yourself some champagne, sipping while you continue with your self-care night. 


Indulge in something sweet to eat

Those sweet treats you wait to have so you can savor every bite? Bring those out for this! Indulge in something sweet.

Get lost in a good movie or book

Sometimes it’s a good book, sometimes it’s a great movie. Select a book or movie before you start your pampering night so you don’t have to waste any precious time choosing what to watch! Then sit back, relax, sip on that champagne, enjoy your sweet treat, and get lost in a good movie.  
These are just a few ideas of what you can do for the perfect pamper night. A couple other ideas are to do your nails, do a body treatment, and use a lavender pillow spray to promote good sleep. Your perfect pamper night and “me time” can look like whatever you want it to, focusing on things that make you relax and feel good.
