For me the last couple of weeks have felt a bit like an emotional roller coaster. On the high days, I am appreciating a slower pace, more time with my family, time for self-development and neglected projects. I feel grateful and calm. On the low days, I feel anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, annoyed, stressed and confined.

This uncertain time has offered me a moment to check in and figure out what I need to stay sane, especially being 6 months pregnant and having hormones that amplify everything!

This is what is helping me!

Montecito Farmhouse Renovation by Mary

Moving up to Santa Barbara from LA was a dream that we made happen a year ago. Can't believe it has already been a year! Finding our dream house in our budget was not going to happen on that timeline. Having survived two renovations since our marriage ten years ago, we were pretty determined to NOT do another one. However, when we discovered this 1890s farmhouse with a pool and a guesthouse and a tangle of gardens (woods?!) on a little lane in the heart of Montecito, we starting rethinking.

Spa for your inside and out: Miraval!

Our three night getaway to Miraval was a magical bubble of time where we were able to tune out the minutae of life and really focus on the big picture and ourselves. Although many may think of a spa as a place to diet and bust your ass working out, we found Miraval to be more of a spiritual and emotional recalibration. Sure, you may absolutely come to Miraval for the healthy cuisine, juice bar, exercise classes, nutrition talks and massages, but you would be so missing out to not go deeper!

Our Best Retreat Yet! What you missed.

After every retreat, we turn to each other and exclaim, "That was our best one yet!" Each one of our retreats and events has a unique spirit - comprised of the soulful energy of the outstanding women who show up. Our last day long retreat in Malibu was all about tapping into our relationship with ourselves- knowing and loving ourselves so that the lives we create are full of balance, purpose and joy. Our hostess and keynote speaker, Lavinia Errico, is a celebrated expert on this topic!
