Labor Day Weekend Adventures in Connecticut

Hi Friends!  I hope everyone had a fabulous Labor Day Weekend!  I can’t believe summer is coming to an end.  Fall is my absolute favorite season but I’m just not quite ready to say farewell to summer yet.

I soaked up every bit of this weekend without having to travel very far.  It was one of those weekends that made me grow a little more of an appreciation for where I live here in Connecticut.  So often, especially those of us with a case of wanderlust, wish we could visit a new place every chance we get.  Over the past year I have definitely tried to take time to explore my home state and get to know it on a new, more appreciative level.  This weekend I did just that!

Also, the winner of the LARABAR RENOLA giveaway was Giselle from My Happy Healthy Home. Congrats Giselle!

Scenes from my Labor Day Weekend Adventures

We went kayaking off the shore of Milford with Scoot and Paddle.  They led a group of us out for about an hour.

Andy and I got a tandem kayak.  This was our first time kayaking together. Someone told us it’s the “divorce” kayak but I think we did just fine 🙂 Continue reading

What I Ate Wednesday #5 – Weekend Eats

Happy Hump Day people!  I thought I’d pop in to the What I Ate Wednesday link up this week by sharing my weekend eats.  My weekend eats are much more exciting than my week day eats.  It’s all about balance…and well usually that means I am a little bit more lenient with myself on Fridays – Sundays.

This past weekend we stayed in town, went to some of our favorite places, tried some new spots, and also whipped up some things for a little family get together we had at our house.

Friday night began with this absolutely delicious cocktail.  It was a fresh Blueberry Mojito from one of our favorite barbecue restaurants, Joey C’s!

We started with a bit of an over the top but oh so good appetizer.  It’s guacamole with bacon AND shrimp!  I think we were the first people to add two items in to the guac because the waitress was a bit surprised. Continue reading

My Guest Blogging Revealed: Bodeefit

So I’ve been sort of quiet about my first Guest Blogging experience that I am lucky enough to have landed back in January.  I haven’t really talked about it here on The Primal Yogi but realize that I should be sharing with all of my readers!  Thanks to Jess at JessicaLawlor.com for the tips on linking your guest posts to your own site.

My guest blogging gig sort of happened organically and fell into my lap.  Back in December / January I came across an awesome site and phone app called Bodeefit.  Bodeefit offers daily body weight workouts, often high intensity interval training, with no equipment or gym required!  I absolutely loved being able to wake up on the morning of a busy day and get a complete work out in without ever leaving my bedroom!

Naturally, because when I love something I share it with the world wide web, I tweeted about Bodeefit.  Well, Adam Griffin, founder of Bodeefit, saw my tweet and asked me if I’d be interested in writing on the Bodeefit Blog.  Of course I said yes!  My focus would be incorporating yoga and what comes along with it into my 9 to 5 schedule in order to maintain a healthy and mindful lifestyle. 

I’ve been writing one post a month since January already!  Here are a few of my favorite posts.  From here on out I will keep you guys in the loop when I am posting over on Bodeefit.

I definitely recommend trying out Bodeefit’s app, workout programs, and just becoming familiar with the community.  There is a wealth of knowledge related to health and wellness.  Enjoy!
