To me yoga is truth in motion, it’s the best mind and body workout and surrender I’ve ever found. It’s the ultimate reset button. I currently teach small groups and private sessions. Email me for more info.

Why Lacylike? What’s that all about?

Lacylike was never actually supposed to be a business name. It was a cheeky email address that at the time was an exertion of my independence and step out into myself. I was going through my quarter life crisis in my mid 20's, getting to know myself better and coming into my skin in a way that I'd never experienced. I felt like it was important to establish an identity apart from my roles in life at that time as a daughter, sister, wife. It was just me. It was about self indulgence in the the good way. I was softening and growing though I was still a bit rough around the edges. I wasn't exactly ladylike though I gave it a good effort, what I was for sure was lacylike.

It fit so well I let it ooze over into a business name and lacylike has become the umbrella for my businesses (health coaching, the herbal line and consulting). Lacylike is still about my best life, love, serious amounts of laughter, being comfy in my skin but now it's also about contagious positivity, encouraging my health coaching clients to be like no one else but themselves, to live their best lives, feel whole, confidant, fabulous despite their perceived flaws, to be real and beautiful!

Is your hair naturally curly? What products do you use?

Yes, it is! My hair routine is pretty simple. I use two products everyday, a styling cream and hairspray.

My fave cream is Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious. I prefer a cream over a moose or gel b/c it’s a more natural look instead of dealing with that crunchy wet look.

1 & 2. Apply about a quarter size of product working from the middle of your hair down and then go back to the top, you don't want the top of your head to get all goopy (official term) ; )

3. Comb thorough your hair from the crown to ends with a wide tooth comb or pick,

4. flip your head over and scrunch with a towel! It's important to use a towel instead of your fingers to keep the curls together.

5. Let air dry (I do almost everyday in the summer) or blow dry with a diffuser and set with hairspray!

6. Now you're a curly girl!!

What's the deal with organic? Should we buy it?

This is a wonderful question and one that a lot of people ask. The short answer is YES! Buy organic where you can. There is a handy rule of thumb list that you can use called The Dirty Dozen. The EWG has compiled a list of the 12 fruits and veggies with the most pesticide residue. So for these 12 items for sure GO ORGANIC!

The Dirty Dozen: Apples, Bell Peppers, Carrots, Cherries, Imported Grapes, Kale, Lettuce, Nectarines, Peaches, Pears and Strawberries

Hi friends!

I'm a 32 year old gal living in the Bay area with my husband Cliff and our two fur face kids. We each came with one...Ned is mine and The Hinge is his. I've loved blogging since I started in 2008. I'm a glass half full kind of girl. The beach is where I reset, everything seems possible there. I believe in living out loud, authenticity, generosity of spirit, dreaming bigger, inspiration, laughter, love and goodness.

It goes a long way that we love what we do! I first launched lacylike.com in 2008 as a site to make scrapbooks. I'd been struggling with tracheal stenosis and there's nothing like sickness to bring perspective. Lacylike.com helped me break free from the world of cubicles. I'd always been a creative but before getting sick a creative career didn't seem like the practical thing to do. I'd forgotten that dreams can become reality. In a lot of ways I feel like my life began in 2008. Since then my journey has continued and lacylike.com has evolved to become an inspiration/ lifestyle and business blog.

I was the kid growing up that you wanted to trade lunches with! Wonder bread with ham and cheese loaf, a little Debbie snack cake, a Dr.Pepper and if I was being healthy that day… a fruit roll-up! When I hit college and had to feed myself I started to listen to my body and slowly learn what foods felt life giving and what foods made me feel fat and icky. Integrative Nutrition was the missing link for me that brought everything together and made it all make sense. Now I help other people to listen to their bodies and find balance through nutritional counseling.

There's nothing more rewarding than having someone tell you that you helped to change their life for the better. Powerful, crazy good! I am passionate about happiness, increasing mine and yours! Please send me an email if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired or just need a little support (or a lot) to achieve your goals and live your best life!

I found yoga in college while studying psychology at the University of North Texas. It was definitely love at first sweaty class. I started teaching yoga in 2003 and it's been a part of my life ever since.

After 17 years as a paramedic and standing by me through my struggle to breathe my love followed his dream and patented his first invention, the Clifftech Strap. It’s a spinal immobilization device used to strap patients to a back board. We are a small company with big heart. The straps are for sale to EMS agencies nationwide!
