If you’re a longtime gofrenchyourself.com reader, then you know that I believe in the great benefits that come of healthy diet. Whether you’re trying to shape up or improve your skin, what you eat plays a big role in helping you look and feel your very best. But what happens when you’re not feeling your best and brightest, but you’re having trouble identifying the cause? Are your energy levels inconsistent or non-existent? Do you have aches and pains that can’t be explained by over-use or injury? Are you having a hard time losing weight no matter how hard you try? Do you have some sort of condition, like skin issues, digestive ailments, seasonal allergies, or chronic pain, that medication hasn’t helped? These symptoms are often directly related to the foods you eat—even the “healthy” stuff. So how do you know if (and how) these foods are affecting you? If you think that a food sensitivity could be the source of your discomfort, then it might be time to try an elimination diet like The Whole30.

All month I have been sharing some ways you can celebrate Earth Month and aim to follow the motto “everyday is Earth Day!” And today I am so excited to share my experience with Paperless Post. A few months ago I had received a dinner party invitation IN MY INBOX and it was so incredibly beautiful. I immediately knew it was a Rifle Paper beauty as I am obsessed with pretty much anything Anna Bond touches. Her signature, hand-painted botanicals have made her the darling of the stationery world since 2009. Her beloved flora, fauna, and doll-faced figures radiate a sense of whimsy and charm. SWOON. I instantly of course RSVP'd "Oui" to the Frenchie Soireè and the stalked the Paperless Post site and was blown away by the gorgeous Rifle Paper extensive collection.

The countdown to one of my fave holidays is on and and I am "muy" excited because I get to share with you guys the details from the small little chic Mexican fiesta that I threw last week for a few friends. I wanted to keep things super festive obviously but super simple. And I wanted to incorporate my favorite BBQ sauce to blend two things I love so much together......Tex-Mex & BBQ sauce! Okay maybe three things--you can't forget the tequila.

We understand that trying a new workout is so much fun, but it can also be super intimidating. I honestly was intimidated by Pilates that I didn't even take advantage of a complimentary member ship in December. Who does that??!
So you don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb and have additional anxiety and stress by worrying about what to wear and what skills you need and all the other million questions you might have floating around in that beautiful mind of yours!!! So to make your first spin class and Reformer Pilates class a little less stressful, I have decided to put together a First Timer’s Guide to both workouts with the help of The Greatist and Pumps of Iron.

So I just found the raddest ad-free, subscription-based app service that allows me to listen to music, read magazines and (soon) watch visual content in one app!
And every time you listen to a song in the WEYV app they will make a charitable donation. Say whaaaaat??!

Pilates has improved my sports performance. My posture is better. I have an increased joint range of motion and increased muscle flexibility. I am building muscle tone everyday I practice. And pilates has helped my back pain and reduce my stress.
I found myself sitting taller. And I am always finding myself in neutral spine now!
Pilates builds a body awareness that translates into everything that I do now and I couldn't be happier.
So I have talked about Club Pilates in South Tulsa quite a but but today I want to introduce you to the Jenks location!

ou know time is flying by when you can't remember the last time you had Sunday brunch and you guys---that is just NOT acceptable. The thing is, I can't quite think what I've been doing with my weekends instead which is also NOT acceptable. I sorta feel like I need to renounce my title of 'avid bruncher' to you guys however, I'm hoping this post will redeem myself. I even decided to write it early and dedicate the whole thing to brunch VS my weekend guide to OKC so that's gotta earn me some credit here.
So darlings---let's brunch so hard in OKC!!!
