Giving the Gift of JORD for Father’s Day

JORD Wood Watch Giveaway

Thanks to JORD Wood Watches for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. “The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her […]

We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party ... b We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party ... but we almost didn’t.

I’d had a bad day at work, was running late, and decided to skip the party. I called a friend to ask her to give my regards to the birthday boy, but she ended up convincing me to go.

He’d had a bad day at work, was running late, and thought about skipping the party too ... but he didn’t.

There were two seats left at the table when we got to the restaurant, arriving only ten minutes apart. He sat down across from me, I offered to share my foie gras, and the rest as they say, was history.

It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s always been worth it. @ckfriedhoff, you’re my teammate, my biggest cheerleader, my husband, and my best friend. Happy Valentine’s Day, my love ... and thank you to the Universe for conspiring to help me find you.

I know I’ve been a bit quiet over here, but I’ I know I’ve been a bit quiet over here, but I’m popping in to say Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours ... and to remind you that Thanksgiving dinner is 0.09% of the meals you eat in a year. Eat what you want. Eat what tastes good to you. Eat the pie. Eat another slice if you want it. Don’t feel guilty if you eat past the point of fullness. And please remember ... you don’t have to earn it or burn it off. 

Thanksgiving is one day. Enjoy it. Enjoy the food. Enjoy your family. Enjoy the memories you’re making in this crazy, tumultuous year. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.

Y’all. Today is my first — and last — Labor Y’all. Today is my first — and last — Labor Day as an unemployed person ... I GOT A JOB!
✨
I’m super excited to announce that I accepted a position as an RN health coach with a behavioral health company a few weeks ago, and I start tomorrow!
✨
As many of you know, I was let go from my former company at the beginning of the year after almost 20 years. I was also extremely privileged to be able to take some time off to rest, recharge, and re-evaluate my career path.
✨
What you also know (if you’ve been following my little old Instagram account for awhile!) is that I’ve developed an immense passion for health, fitness, and mindful wellness over the past few years. After reflecting on the amount of knowledge I’ve gained on my personal health and self-development journey — and after realizing how much I missed making a direct impact on patient’s lives — I decided to take off my product manager hat and pursue a career in health coaching ... and I made my dream come true!
✨
I’m also cooking up some other health coaching plans so keep your eyes on this account ... and you can best bet I’ll be sharing more information and opening up some honest discussions about diet culture, informed eating, fitness, mindfulness, self-love, and self-care right here as well!
✨
Happy Labor Day, my friends!
In the immortal words of @thepouf, “One day, it In the immortal words of @thepouf, “One day, it will all make sense.”
✨
I think it’s safe to say that 2020 has been an incredibly uncertain/emotional/bizarre/“insert adjective of choice” year for all of us ... between a global pandemic and a country (rightfully) filled with civil unrest, it’s no surprise that Google searches for anxiety-related terms have reached record highs. 
✨
For me, being unemployed this entire year has added another layer of uncertainty as well. I’ve had a full-time job since I graduated from college so not working for the last 9 months has been interesting to say the least — both emotionally and financially.
✨
Having said all that, my husband and I recently had a talk about the silver linings that have shown themselves throughout this year ... giving us a glimpse that, yes, one day everything we’ve gone through in 2020 truly will make sense.
✨
Personally, we’ve both learned that we don’t need nearly as much as we thought we did to be happy ... and we’ve realized that being able to pursue our dream jobs — even if they pay less than what we’re used to — is an opportunity we don’t want to pass up. Stay tuned for more on that from me soon [insert winking emoji here].
✨
So, my friends ... what are some of the positive lessons you’ve learned throughout this oddly strange year? Leave me a comment, and share it with the world!

That’s it. That’s the post. ✨ That’s it. That’s the post. ✨
Happy National Prosecco Day! 🥂 As I mentioned i Happy National Prosecco Day!
🥂
As I mentioned in a previous post, I like my beverages with bubbles — be that sparkling water, a crisp cider, or a glass of champagne, cava, or today’s celebrant ... prosecco.
🥂
Prosecco tends to be sweeter and fruitier than champagne or cava, and it’s usually my go-to for sparkling wine. Having said that ... the older I get, the less alcohol I’ve found myself drinking. It’s not uncommon for me to choose to go weeks without having a drink (yes, even in quarantine), and when I do drink, I’m usually one and done as any more than that brings a not-so-fun feeling. I guess it’s safe to say I was on the “mindful drinking” bandwagon long before it became a trend.
🥂
What is mindful drinking? It’s the concept of being intentional with your decisions around alcohol in order to create a healthy relationship with it ... and may include abstinence even for those without alcohol use problems.
🥂
Benefits of mindful drinking tend to include more energy, better sleep, and improved coping methods ... and it may actually enhance your social life. I still drink, and I still enjoy it ... but doing so mindfully makes it even better. So, whether you prefer to raise a glass of prosecco or sparkling grape juice today, either way is totally acceptable!
🥂
Tell me ... do you practice mindful drinking? What’s your go-to beverage to celebrate a special occasion?

Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ Yesterday was the final Happy Sunday, friends!
✨
Yesterday was the final day of @brittnae.giesau’s #iamsupported7days challenge, but instead of “celebrating my damn self” as the challenge called for, I took a self-care day instead ... though I guess that is celebrating myself too!
✨
So, here I am ... celebrating the end of this fabulous challenge that helped me further develop some positive daily habits ... and celebrating the fact that I shared an actual selfie for the first time in years!
✨
Since there’s a lot of new faces around here, this is also a great excuse to introduce myself to you all and share a few fun facts about me!
✨
Hi, I’m Kimberly, and I want to use my space here on Instagram to inspire you to live well mindfully — be that through honest discussions about diet culture, informed eating, mindfulness, self-love, and self-care ... or by sharing my tips and tricks to help you navigate through it all.
✨
I’m a Libra through and through, but even I don’t balance it all most days.
✨
I have way too many tabs open on my laptop all. the. time.
✨
I’m currently binging Little Fires Everywhere, and I love it.
✨
I prefer my beverages with bubbles — whether water or something else.
✨
I once bought Tone Loc a footlong corn dog. TRUE STORY.
✨
Now that I’ve shared some interesting things about me, it’s your turn. Leave me a comment telling me a fun fact about you ... or use this time to celebrate yourself and tell me something you’re proud of these days!
