WELCOME TO THE RETREAT!

This mama is spending 2 nights at the incredible @theretreatcostarica SOLO! This is the first time I've been away from Kai for more than 8 hours in the past 1.5 years. As hard as it was to leave her, it's the best thing for me, Kai and my husband. Everyone needs their own "me" time and this is something I will be doing often as part of my wellness journey.

The Retreat Costa Rica is a luxury wellness boutique resort and spa (it's also 20 mins away from my land here in CR). Organic gardens, lush landscapes, chirping birds and technicolor sunsets are the setting for healing journeys in this special place perched on a 50-acre quartz mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean. There are also two resident peacocks!!!

I'm documenting the whole experience for my YouTube channel and blog. I'm also sharing SOME of the experience here on Instagram stories, but the video and blog will have all the juicy details :)

Hands up, who could use a retreat like this one right about now?

THE WORLD IS HER CLASSROOM.

Traveling with my daughter is such a joy. Every morning, she wakes up and asks me, "Do you wanna go on an adventure with me?" It's the most pure and beautiful moment and then off we go.

I love watching her explore and take in each new surrounding. In just these past 3 months in Costa Rica, she's made many human friends and even more animal friends, gone horseback riding on the beach 4 times, tried and loved more fruit than I can count, surfed, climbed the coolest trees, partied until midnight in the jungle on new years, come face to face with a scorpian, has picked up many words in Spanish, gone on her first wild ATV ride and the list goes on.

Her vocabulary has developed tremendously. Everyone that meets her can't believe she's not even 2.5 yet because she converses so well. She also eats every single thing that's put in front of her. No fuss and always excited to try something new.

Travel and all the experiences that come with it is helping to shape her into the most incredible little human. I'm so grateful to have her as my best friend and travel buddy. I love you Kai River!

Who else travels with their kids or plans to once they have them?

SLOTHS! 🦥🦥🦥

Yesterday, we spent the afternoon at @selvaturapark in Monteverde and well...sloths!!!

The park is home to a sloth habitat that provides a safe home to 20 female rescue sloths. They work with a rehabilitation centre that rescues badly injured sloths and gives them a place to recover. It was so cool to be this close to these adorable creatures. They seriously don't even seem real. Just like big cuddley Muppets.

The money the park makes from people visiting the sloth habitat goes right back into helping the sloths (providing food, habitat maintenance, medical costs, etc).

Who else thinks sloths are the cutest creatures ever?!

MORNING ROUTINES AND RITUALS

On the days I can get 20 mins in the morning to myself, this is what I do. First I drink water to hydrate my body, then head outside with a cup of coffee, as little clothes as possible and let the sun beam onto my skin. When I close my eyes and put my face in the sun, I feel an immediate rush of happiness and cannot help but smile. That vitamin D feels damn good! I love to just sit, observe my surroundings and sometimes I'll journal or meditate.

Now as a mom to a toddler, this isn't an every day thing. In fact, it doesn't happen nearly as often as I'd like it to.

What's your morning ritual or routine?

THIS IS MY "SNAPBACK"...MORE THAN 2 YEARS LATER. (

THIS IS MY "SNAPBACK"...MORE THAN 2 YEARS LATER. (SWIPE TO SEE BEFORE AND AFTER RESULTS)

But seriously, let's start by addressing this snapback bull$&!*...

After a woman has a baby, she shouldn't feel pressured to "snapback" in a couple of weeks. She just pushed a goddamn human out of her vagina or was sliced open to get it out, which she spent growing for nearly a year in her body. This means her organs moved around, her skin stretched, her abs, hips and boobs changed. She also spent the first year (and then some) barely sleeping and maybe she used her boobs to feed her child (and still does). She also is constantly trying to balance her time caring for her child, finding time for her partner, friends and other family members, work and all the other life stuff. A lot shifts and that's all part of making a miracle called life. So, let's stop putting pressure on new moms and instead remind them of how kick ass of a job they are doing.

Ok, rant over...

When it comes to my fitness journey, I've been saying for YEARS, I want to get into the best shape of my life. Now, I'm on my way because now is MY time.

I just completed 10 weeks with @best10.app and I feel amazing! Growing up, I was always active but as soon as college came around, I started sitting more than moving. I'm so friggen excited to be back in the zone, making fitness a priority...a lifestyle.

This journey over the past 10 weeks has really inspired me and even changed the style of content I want to create. I'm so excited to see what's next and keep challenging myself.

If you're feeling now is also your time to get in the best shape of your life, I can’t recommend Best10 enough. Check out the link in my bio and get 15% off the entire program (which is completely customized to you) using KRISTEN15.
