Monthly Lifestyle

July 2025

Hey sweet friends,

Welcome to the BootyByMich monthly lifestyle newsletter.
‍
Each month I’ll be sharing with you what books I’m reading, recipes I’m cooking, questions I ask myself, my favorite workout of the month, thoughts I’m having, products I like (no promoted ads here!) and more.
‍
This is a full personal BootyByMich inspiration page as a go-to for staying inspired when it comes to fresh ideas to connect with your mind, body, and environment; from my world to yours.

All this to say…books, cozy Netflix nights and movement have been my chill and relaxation time from the current life transitioning stage of moving!

We are staying in Manhattan but moving to a new neighbourhood, which I'm honestly really excited for. I love our current place, but after a few years here…it's time to venture off to a new adventure! I LOVE living in the West Village (we’ve been here since we first moved to NYC). I truly believe there is magic throughout these streets; it is so quiet in the morning before the tourists and influencers awake to take pictures on all the brownstone stoops. My most favourite memories will be waking up early on the weekends, getting a coffee and walking through empty Bleecker St, Charles, Perry etc, (yes, Carrie Bradshaw was our neighbour). Mornings when all I heard were birds chirping as the neighbourhood began to rise to the sun coming through the tree hugging streets, and me wondering how magical and alive it all feels. Looking at my favorite homes with the coolest door knockers, and when the vines covering the homes as they climb all the way to the top of the roof kinda look like veins- there is magic here.

For the eyes and the soul

The Doorman,

By Chris Pavone

‍

This book is next on my list for August. It’s suspenseful, mysterious and I just love reading about the intertwined drama of residents of the Upper East Side buildings of New York. This was recommended to me by a client /friend, I’m very excited to read it!

Journal Prompts

WRITING PROMPTS

1. I 100% get nostalgic when moving. Do you? 

2. Is it easy for you to adjust to new homes and beginnings? 

3. I think it might be getting easier for me, but still- it is the end of a chapter that is (to me) always kind of interesting to process.

4.I also like to reflect on how much I’ve grown while living in a certain place. 

5.How much have you grown since first moving into your home? (even if you aren’t moving its still nice to think about)

6. I also write all the positive exciting new adventures I’m looking to have in the new neighbourhood, already saving 15 coffee shops and sushi restaurants to try!

NEED A NETFLIX & CHILL WEEKEND?

‍Too Much 

I binged this over the weekend! I loved it because I found it to be fresh, with the humour and characters that are quite quirky (you either love it or don’t) but if you like it, it’s a binge worthy show from the creator and writer of “GIRLS”

‍

The Hunting Wives ‍

Suspenseful drama that has many people talking recently! It's based on a book which I actually didn’t know and I feel like I would have loved to read the book before watching the show. The relationships are intriguing which hooks you quite quickly! Plus there is a murder involved…

‍MY FAVOURITE NEIGHBOURHOOD COFFEE SHOPS

Drum roll please…(because I am VERY picky these truly are a great shops with consistently good coffee)

  1. Radiant - big community feel, very cute cozy shop to read or work, located on a quiet residential street, our go-to sunday spot. I adore the owners, if you want true WV local coffee hang this is it. If you don't know about this place and happen to stumble upon it- well you’ve discovered gold!

‍

  1. Rhythm Zero - hipster/chic vibes, attached to a running store but this is right in the heart of WV on Bleecker Street, great for people watching and taking a stroll for shopping! Locally roasted beans too!

‍

  1. The Walkers Coffee - located on the busy 7th av, great for people watching and grabbing a coffee before walking through the streets of WV. This is an unassuming spot for good coffee, if you know you know.

‍

  1. Partners Coffee - located right on the corner of Charles street, perfect for people watching, good outdoor seating, plus it's open at 6:30 am which I really appreciate for those early mornings, with locally roasted beans!

‍

  1. PlantShed Cafe on 8th - A local corner spot with  perfect outdoor seating to sip and people watch, buy incredible curated home scents, hand towels, soaps etc… and (overpriced yet beautiful) flowers. 

(they serve Partners Coffee but very different cafe vibes)

‍

The BBM local list, love Mich.

‍

Pssst - if you are wanting to pair that coffee with the best/most popular bagel in the West Village neighbourhood it's definitely Apollo Bagel

If you’re looking for a sweet treat its local L’Appartement 4F 

Pro tip-come early because lines get long!
