We have grown up with this being acceptable.
No wonder so many of us hated what we looked like or strived to look what society deemed as acceptable. I pray and hope this is changing for us and our children. No one has the right to comment on your body and weight. Period.

We came, we saw, we walked 20k daily steps, we conquered, and we sweated our faces off. Venice, I love you and I’m coming back when it’s fall next time 🤪 Ok so here are the takeaways from Venice with kids in two and a half days…. 1- If you go in summer. Its hot. Like very hot. And very crowded. Which can be a positive when you want ambiance. But without our neck fans, constant breaks, and a crap load of iced water, it wasn’t easy. 2- Don’t be upset if your kids aren’t as thrilled at the museums and palaces as you are. I completely fell in love with Venice all over again, especially its architecture and churches. But I’m not sure the kids appreciated it as much as I wanted them to. They were more excited by the gelato 😂 3- Don’t just stay in Venice. We went to the glass blowing in Mureno which cost $10 euros and the beach in Lido. Both worth visiting and a short ferry across. 4- There is a LOT of amazing food. But it’s worth searching for it then just walking into a tourist spot – if you’re a foodie like me you’ll be disappointed unless you’re in the know. 5- If you can, take a gondola. Definitely better than the ones in Vegas 🤣 I preferred taking one at night as it’s magical with the lights, not as hot and and crowded as the day time. 6- Book a photo session! I booked this one through @airbnb with @jsphotovenice and @miri.take took these photos. So reasonably priced and they do an awesome job! 7- All gelato is NOT created equal. Sometimes it’s mind blowing, and others it’s like mediocre ice cream. One of my rules is if it comes out of a silver tin like @gromgelato you’re going to be happy. If its in massive mounds, not so much. 8- See the tourist attractions an hour before they close. The kids were tired so I saw some main sights alone and they were almost empty. The Doge’s Palace was a highlight for me and I almost had it to myself! And go see the show Titize!!! 9- Venice is expensive BUT there are many things that are inexpensive. Gelato is $2.50 and pizza is $3.00 and there are hotel options at a budget. 10- Venice is Definitely worth seeing. Next time we will be coming when it’s cooler! 🥵🤣Comment below.. Off to Puglia tomorrow! #venice #italy

Puglia. I don’t think I’d fall so hard for you. But here we are. Words can’t really explain this place. I get it now. This is a different Italy than I’ve known. I’ll put together a travel guide when we leave in detail but for now I’ll share some photons from today… Photo 1 and 2 Ostuni – a white washed, medieval town. Restaurants sitting in caves and on steps and between narrow streets on a hill. It’s other worldly. One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. 3- Polignano a Mare- an enchanting town perched on limestone cliffs. historical sites and amazing coastal views. 4- A beach in the know called @calasangiovanni – blue water and phenomenal views. Swimmers by @slixallwear 5 – Incredible gluten free pizza at @albucopreferitotranquillage 6- Downtown Polignano a Mare I can’t wait to share more with you…this is a VERY special place!

I don’t even know where to begin, but I’ll try, so here goes!
If you followed me for a long time, you know that I’ve teetered on the idea of “sober curious”for a long time now.
My relationship with alcohol hasn’t really been that complicated. I’ve never felt like I had to have it or that I had an issue but I did feel like in stressful moments and anxious times I would crave a glass of wine to be able to calm down my limbic system.
This got to a point where every week I was counting down the days until I could drink alcohol on a Friday or a Saturday just so I could feel “normal “.
I realized that I was using something that in the moment made me feel better but yet over time was making me feel worse.
Alcohol raises dopamine levels, so for people like me, who struggle with low dopamine, it really helps us feel relaxed, sane and like I said “normal” But it didn’t and doesn’t last long. What goes up must come down and after drinking any alcohol, dopamine drops dramatically, way lower than it was before, so I’d end up actually feeling way worse than before I had a drink.
I’m not gonna lie, a “sober life”I was afraid of. How am I going to go to parties and fit in? How am I going to have fun? How am I going to feel energy and dance? What will everyone think of me?
But I can honestly say, not only have I felt more joy, more happiness, more connection but I’ve felt it in such a greater way.
And nothing beats waking up the next day after having the time of your life, out until 2am, feeling clear-headed, less anxious and remembering everything that happened the night before!
I’m not sure what my journey will look like but this definitely feels like I’m on the right path.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about a sober life, please DM me. This has been an awesome year and I’m so excited for the next one to come! #sober #sobercurious #alcohol #mentalhealthawareness

I truly believe that we need to make disclaimers mandatory on social posts that claim ONLY skincare makes the difference in skin aging/ pigmentation, skin resurfacing, etc. There is a whole other side to the skincare industry that I’m sure we are all familiar with. Laser, peels, injectables, skin tightening treatments and so much more.
I believe that without these disclaimers, we compare ourselves to unrealistic “natural” beauty standards that aren’t… natural. I’m a huge advocate of good skincare and I’ve been very invested since I was 17 BUT many of us aren’t just relying on that. So let’s get real, let’s get honest and let’s unvail the truth!
Treatments and med spas I love!
1- @theclinicbondi for ultra therapy which tightens skin and helps to boost collagen
2- @hi_finch for microneedling and broad band light. Helps tighten skin, reduce sun spots, helps with pigmentation and resurfaces the skin
3- @simonourianmd1 for cool laser which resurfaces the skin

We all share photos like this. A highlight reel in the middle of a summer trip with my family in Italy. What a memory! And even though I LOVE this photo of us, what is not shown are the moments before. The scurry to grab a person to quickly take a photo in 100 degree heat while the swarm of people push past, me snapping at my husband to hurry up because he’s about to mess up the shot, the kids over it and having meltdowns… and then on three ….. CHEESE! POST. Don’t get me wrong, this has and will be a memory for a lifetime. I feel extremely grateful and do understand my blessings to be able to do this. We have had some of the most connective, funny, joyous moments as a family AND some of the most frustrating, over-it, desperate and not our finest moments. But you don’t see those. Because no one posts those. So if you’re reading this, and looking at my feed lately, and thinking, man why am I in a hard moment and no one else during summer is… just know…they are. Life is beautiful and maddening and stunning and sad and joyous and perfect and sucky and all those things. And everyone feels this way, even those people on vacation. They just aren’t posting it ❤️ #travel #italytravel
