This week I started up a regular fitness routine again and I felt both energized and tired as a result. I?m also focused on making my diet mostly plant based in the present and future. I?m not a vegetarian, but I do notice that I feel really good when I eat mostly plant based foods so I?m trying out new restaurants for inspiration and researching how to be more creative with food ingredients.
On Friday I toured a culinary garden at this famous winery and it was so beautiful to see rows of different kinds of specialty produce growing next to each other. I shared glimpses of the tour on my Instagram stories and plan to share more.
This week I?m giving my living room a fall update and also creating a series of autumn art prints that will be available in my art shop. Both are coming up soon on the blog. I do hope you’re enjoying these last days of summer. Favorite links from the week:
