I promised myself I wouldn’t fall back into the slick-back trap after my latest haircut but…this is real life so 🤷🏽‍♀️

After being in a bun for a week, and seeing nothing but gel and and mayyyybe a little oil on the ends, my hair needed some help 😂

Short on time, and with a handful of new products, I did a quick wash n go with The Grow Pro shampoo and conditioner, followed by The Moisture Smoothie and chose not to add any styling products.

I wanted my wash n go to dry quickly, because I had a self-tape to submit, and I was curious as to how far my shampoo and conditioner would actually take me…

After a wash, condition and moisture mask (that took all of 10 mins total), I wore this wash n go for two days before re-hydrating with water and adding some product to give me a few more days.

The verdict? Pleasantly surprised.

✨ It’s officially walking season 😆. If you’re new here, you might not know just how much I live for this.

I started walking as my main wellness practice back in 2020 after having my first baby. With gyms closed and my body still healing, I wasn’t ready to “tough it out” in a group class.

Since then, Walking Season (April–October, I completely made this up based on the seasons where I live 😉) has become the cherry on top of my fitness routine.

It picks up right where my workouts leave off. I see a massive difference in my mental clarity, stress levels, and especially debloating/inflammation. There is just something about the fresh air and movement 🍃

I’m inviting you to join me, and yes we’re doing two-a-days. 😬

Nothing outrageous, just bumping up the routine. I usually walk 3–5 days a week (gym, tread, outdoors if weather permits) but during walking season, I turn those into “Double Walk” days that look like this:

The AM Wake-up: A 15–20 minute stroll (treadmill or neighborhood) right after school drop-off, with my coffee 😅☕️☀️

The PM Boost: A 3-mile or 45 min walk later in the day after an iced tea or matcha 🍵🧋.

Looking forward to seeing you out there, mamas! Who’s in? 👀
