I dig this. Sometimes with balance you have to swing hard in one direction, just be prepared for the eventual swing back :) Meditation and yoga totally help with reinstating that balance. xo, Kevin Counter Culturist

Amylou, yes!! Balance is the BEST. And I really agree with your philosophy on treating ourselves and giving ourselves a little bit of those healthy indulgences that we so deserve. Love you girl!

In reply to Alexa. Yes, there is a great yoga studio in the Barnyard shopping center!! I think it's called Om Studio? I went there a few years ago and fell in love!! This year I just practiced on my own at the hotel which was equally epic!! Xo

Shyla, thank you so much!!! I could not agree more… it’s so true, all of it. TRUE balance is the most incredible thing to find, especially when its rooted in yummy, healthy dishes!! XO

In reply to Krista. Krista!! I am SO glad you can relate. Also, it sounds like you had the most perfect Thanksgiving meal. Healthy, yummy, delish salad and PECAN PIE which is literally BAE and the best thing about Thanksgiving. and OMG the Miranda podcast is AMAZING right???? She is truly unreal and like no other!! So so glad you liked. XOXO

In reply to Karlie @ Karlcooks.com. Awww Karlie that makes me so happy!! Journaling and meditation are probably my two top self care priorities right now -- and those were hard for me to work into my life at first, but I have never been more grateful for a practice!! Xo

It’s not about stuffing our faces on Thanksgiving to the point of feeling gross and then restricting for days afterward to get back to “balance.” That is not balanced.

It’s also not about going on a full week bender because it’s Thanksgiving and it’s a good time to let loose, and then following up with a crash juice cleanse to “undo” the damage.

It is about finding that happy medium… that happy little balanced place in the middle where we enjoy ourselves and remember what the holiday is all about (people! fun! letting go and being present!) and then maybe take some extra steps afterward to swing our pendulum back into balance.

THIS! Please tattoo this on my face.

I was happy I did a salad for dinner (I’m vegan so most of the stuff isn’t my ideal anyway) and then KILLED a pecan pie, had a slice or two, and felt like it was as great trade off.

But the key is giving and taking – like you say.

LOVE this. Also loved the podcast with the pet psychic – LOVE her.

Do you know of any fitness studios in Carmel or Big Sur? Hot Yoga or Pilates? Would love to try next time I’m in town! Thanks!
