Anyone else loving the spring sunshine?! With temperatures in the 60s and low 70s over the past week or so, I’ve been quickly pulling out all of my favorite sundresses and sleeveless tops and packing away my coats and sweaters. It won’t be long until summer is here and we’ll be spending our weekends going on beach walks and having friends over for backyard BBQs!

Even though Spring is almost here, my skin has still been acting like we’re in the dead of winter. I think that’s probably due to our wacky weather, which hasn’t been able to pick a season. After all, just last week, I woke up to snow on the ground, and some areas of Seattle even had a bit of snow fall yesterday! It’s crazy, I tell you, and battling dry skin in winter is absolutely no fun.

At the end of last month, I was invited on King 5’s New Day NW, a morning show that runs on our local news station. Because we had that epic snowstorm known as “Snowmageddon” just a week or so prior, I tackled the topic of dealing with winter skin problems.
It wasn’t hard to find products in my arsenal that help me – in fact, I had to pare it down as segments are only about 5 or so minutes long. Even then, I still had a ton of information to share, which is why I wanted to hone in all of my thoughts regarding dry skin in winter and share those here with you today!
So who’s ready to keep those flakes at bay and say see ya later to your winter skin woes?!

Continue readingToday is the big day – Sprouts Lynnwood is now open! If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a behind-the-scenes tour during the soft opening of the store. It was so much fun getting to hear directly from the Sprouts team that is in town for the opening some of the great things that make this store unique. While Sprouts is a chain, each store has slightly different offerings to serve the shoppers in that geographic location.

My favorite thing from the store tour? Trying the Sprouts team’s favorite products! We got to try samples of some interesting and unique products such a tropical fruit salad made with Melissa’s Produce, tart golden berries, and locally roasted CB’s Nuts. Their lightly salted peanuts are way too delicious! I definitely went home with a cart full of healthier snack options (like SkinnyPop Protein Popcorn, Sprouts Coconut Rolls, Veggie Chips, and more!), fresh produce from Melissa’s, and a few quick meal options.
While I do like to cook and bake, during the work week I struggle with time. After working all day, I rarely feel like cooking a big meal which is why having a variety of frozen and fresh foods available that don’t take long to cook are key. I picked up things like Beecher’s Whole Wheat Mac and Cheese (ok, maybe not the healthiest, but with a salad and lots of fresh veggies on the side it’s better than take out!), Hilary’s Veggie Bites, Beyond Burgers, and Amy’s Veggie Pizza. I love that I can head to the frozen food section and shop a wide variety of natural, organic options from my favorite brands!
Because Sprouts is fairly new to Washington, I’ve had some questions about the store as well as the brand new Lynnwood location. Today, I thought I’d share some fast facts to know before you shop!
