Happy Spring! We feel like we’re truly in that season of planting seeds. So many things are becoming clear to us right now and we’re feeling that buzz of excitement of what’s to come! Here’s what was on our minds (and in our texts) this past week…
Custom phase guides. We’re in the middle of finalizing not one but TWO (!!) phase guides for you. Think of them like your favorite magazines growing up, but make it an incredible roadmap for your female physiology. Stay tuned…..
We’re hiring for a super special project! 👀 We’re looking for an app developer (ahhhhhhh!!) who is interested in AI + personalization. Bonus points if you truly care about women’s health. If this feels like you or someone you know, please apply here!!!!
Macro Counting. Carly is still macro counting with @mindinmymacros and loving it. Her progress in the first month alone was incredible, thanks to staying consistent with the basics: eating well, strength training, daily walks, and being mindful about not overeating, sleeping enough, and hydration.
Even over the past few weeks, when life got busier, and the tracking became a little more relaxed (think: sleep, stress, travel), she’s still noticing more muscle definition and her clothes fitting better. Turns out the foundational things actually work (who woulda thought!?). Carly has lost 10 lbs overall!
Alaina (down 8 lbs so far) and Julie are also working with @mindinmymacros. Julie is on a modified program as she is only 5 months PP and still breastfeeding.
All three of us couldn’t recommend her more! (code: BALANCEDBEYARS)
Upgraded hydration. Here’s Carly’s favorite hydration rotation. Hint: it’s more than plain water!
Postpartum nourishment. Julie shared the foundational things that are saving her right now, officially 5 months postpartum.
And speaking of postpartum nourishment, Julie is still taking our favorite pre/postnatal supplement all throughout her breastfeeding phase. It’s been crucial for helping rebuild and replenish after childbirth and during breastfeeding (which can be a depleting time for the body). We love it because the quality and research behind every ingredient is truly TOP NOTCH… and it’s only three capsules a day! Can’t beat it.

ACL surgery. Two years after tearing it, Carly finally just had her ACL repaired this past Thursday. She is in quite a bit of pain (as to be expected), but her outlook on the whole thing has been incredible and she is over the moon to finally be on her way to healing. She'll be sharing all her ACL updates on our stories and saving them to our ACL highlight!
Mood boards. Here’s part 1 of our March Mood Board, inspired by our latest Pinterest finds. Favorite one? “Get in loser, we’re going on an upward spiral!” 🤣. Part 2 coming next week.
Ovulation turn-ons. We’re annoyed (but not really, lol!) with our husbands for wearing backwards hats when we ovulate. How is that fair?? Does this happen to you too!?
Role modeling. We’ve been having some deep thoughts lately about how our kiddos are watching our every move to learn how to be a person. We will never take that responsibility lightly with our families. How we influence our kids is a choice, so we intentionally choose how we foundationally treat our bodies every day to be the example they see. If this resonates with you, this caption is worth the read.
Alaina shared what a busy solo parenting weekend morning looks like for her and her three kiddos. Watch if you want some solidarity.
Tinted moisturizer. Alaina has been reaching for this tinted moisturizer from UBEAUTY nonstop lately. It gives the prettiest glowy, your-skin-but-better coverage without feeling like you’re wearing makeup. Bonus: it’s 20% off right now!!!
Cream blush. This cream blush (in shades Rosy and Wink) blends like a dream and gives that fresh, healthy flush that looks like you just came in from a walk. We’ve genuinely been getting so many compliments on it lately.
Cozy sweaters. This friggin Lake sweater!!!! Carly has it in navy and wears it constantly. Julie is the one who got us all hooked on this brand in the first place, and now we fully understand the hype.
Earring set. This very affordable earring set from Electric Picks has basically become our daily uniform. We’ve been wearing them nonstop to elevate our ‘groutfits’ LOL. Such an easy way to look a little more put together with zero effort.
Protein sale! Our absolute favorite protein powder is currently having a bomb sale - 20% off everything for everyone (new and repeat customers). You can bet we’re stocking up.
Current favorites are the Chocolate & Chocolate Mint flavors, but we also love the Salted Caramel, Strawberry, and Cinnamon Roll. They also just released Cookies & Cream (tastes so subtle) and Mocha. Honestly, they all taste like dessert. Clean, whole ingredients, purity tested, and such an easy way to help hit those protein goals (code: BALANCEDBEYARS).
Sometimes it’s the smallest thing - a phrase, a laugh, a reminder - that shifts the whole week. Here’s to noticing those little sparks when they show up and letting them carry you into the rest of your week.
Wishing you rest, joy, or whatever you need most right now.
Talk soon 💌
Alaina, Carly and Julie
