THIS WEEK’S ROSE AND THORN

I’m extra excited for this weekend because I leave for Amy’s birthday trip on Sunday! We’re headed to Palm Springs to soak up a few days of sunshine with Ali, Max, and Max’s boyfriend Brendan. Will and I went to Palm Springs for the first time a couple years ago and I’m excited to head back to some of our favorite spots and stay at a new hotel in town. Feel free to follow along on Instagram!

This week’s rose was a tie between getting in three workouts with my mom and finding a new doctor in Connecticut (part of #73 on my 101 in 1001 list!). My mom and I did a total body class (mix of boxing and strength training), Pilates, and a barre class so I am definitely feeling sore today but it feels great to get back into a workout rhythm. And I was so happy to reconnect with the doctor I had in college and when I lived at home after graduation. It’s a boring adult task to find a new doctor but it’s comforting to know that I’m in good hands should something come up health-wise.

This week’s thorn is feeling like I didn’t get enough done before leaving for Palm Springs. I always tell myself I’m going to be on my A game before a trip (house tidy, inbox empty, etc.) and it just never turns out that way! I feel like it makes for a hectic return home even after the best trips. If you have any tips for buttoning things up before heading out of town, I’d love to hear them! Have a great weekend, everyone!
