Musings on Momentum Turns One!

Musings on Momentum is hitting its first big milestone today and is officially one year old!  I touched on the profound gratitude I have for the individuals and opportunities that this space has brought into my life a couple of weeks ago.  At risk of sounding like a broken record, it has been an eye-opening and amazing 365 days since I first hit publish.  I am astonished at how both Musings on Momentum and I have grown and changed since June 8, 2015 and am excited to see where we will both be in another 365 days.

To commemorate the occasion I want to share my favorite posts from the past year with you all. They range from a very personal post about my husband and my love story to interior inspiration, collectively encompassing some of the most wonderful moments of my life this past year.

The Best Rosé Sangria Recipe

What came first, Musings on Momentum or my love for rosé?  The two have developed and evolved hand in hand, like two peas in a wine drenched pod and are now intrinsically connected at the hip. I attempted to curtail my rosé intake during the colder days of fall and winter but now that the sun is out and the temperature is rising there is no denying me of my one true wine love.

Speaking of warming temperatures…do long and hot summer days just scream sangria to anyone else?  My sangria intake goes up by 100% each summer and lately I feel like I have been whipping up a pitcher a couple times a month.  It was only natural for me to branch away from the red and white sangrias I hold so dear and try my hand at a batch of the rosé variety.

This easy rosé sangria recipe combines the best parts of summer – freshly picked fruit, basil straight from my herb garden, classic lemonade, and, of course, rosé.

Warmer days call for rosé! This easy rosé sangria recipe combines the best parts of summer - fresh fruit and basil, classic lemonade and, of course, rosé.

It not only tastes amazing, it’s beautiful to look at too!

Three Easy Ways to Detox

There is something about the warming weather that makes me feel like a serious detoxification is in order.  I’m not sure whether it’s due to spending an increased amount of time outside and feeling like my skin is picking up more dirt in general, whether it’s thanks to sweating more under the hot spring sun, or whether it can be attributed to one too many mimosa-fueled days by the pool, but come June I’m feeling like a it’s time for a major reset.

Traditional cleanses are not an option for me due to the fact I have zero willpower and can literally not function without food, therefore I am always looking for easy ways to detox and incorporate small healthy practices into my life.  I’m sharing my top tips and tricks for detoxing in a gentle, easy way because we can all use a reboot now and again.  From a cleansing morning drink to a relaxing soak in the tub to THE BEST clay mask I’ve ever tried, if you’re in search of a way to coax your body back into check you have come to the right place.

May in Review

Beginning today I will be sharing a quick monthly recap of what I have been up to near the end of each month.  I realized early in the month of May that I should be sharing more than fleeting glimpses into the delicious eateries and bars I discover and of the exciting events I attend on Instagram and Snapchat (kasiechelanne).  Each month will be a little different as my calendar and life evolve and some months there likely won’t be as much to share, but that is not the case in this inaugural post!  May has been jam packed full of mind blowing food, cocktails and concerts and I’m excited to give you all a sneak peek into what the last four weeks have brought into my life.
