Just returned from a week in NYC and off to VA beach for a weekend getaway… the hustle has my mother dearest reminding me that a healthy body and happy mind keep illness away – take care of both to keep the doctor away!

No life support called in yet – so looks like that department is going pretty well so far. Keeping things simple and following a happy, logical outlook makes it simple to keep the head held high . The warm season has reduced my time allowance for fitness procrastination, so finally taking steps forward on that healthy summer bod (and considering I’m out of breath climbing three floors to my apt, looks like there’s some serious work to be done).

Trying a new Matcha green tea powder that promises to boost the metabolism and increase energy to give me that little bit of extra steam to keep the engine running. So far so good, and the beautiful emerald shade makes me feel healthier just looking at it.

With adding fitness to an already fully loaded schedule – simplicity and comfort become necessities to survive. I discovered AMVI and their select line of essential basics. They’ve been my staple go-to items this past week and kept me in the comfort zone even through the crazy calendar.

Speaking of brand discovery, anyone else a total convert for Windsor Smith shoes? Another reminder that Aussie’s always do it better. Got these platform sneaks and a couple other styles from their latest collection. The leather is so soft I could sleep with them. (seriously). Their style inspiration has been flooding Instagram lately, and I can’t get enough. Can someone in Australia just adopt me already? Kept the styling on this pair simple for this week’s mindset. Also a new fave with jumpers and jeans for a bit of extra height.

Missing out on the simplicity trend? You’re missing out. A simple life is a happy life, and full of life’s little joys and pleasures along the way. Healthy body, happy mind – enjoy the weekend!
