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.
“The Woman in Cabin 10”
Ruth Ware
It was quite nice to read after my fluffy trashy books. This book has also recently become a movie, so I thought I'd give it a read before a watch! (I feel like books tend to be better than the films…) I am really enjoying this book, its quick pace and definitely suspenseful weekend read!
NOBODY WANTS THIS
Netflix
The ultimate binge watch while ordering sushi (ugh I can’t wait for sushi) for dinner.
Where to begin…
Everything is changing but it's honestly kinda nice…
I just had my last weekend alone, and I do love my solo Mich weekends. We were invited to a wedding that would be a 4 hour drive away, and at the last minute I chose not to attend because that drive would have wrecked my body. It killed me to say no.. but I just knew it would have wrecked my body.
So I planned a weekend of rest, early dinners, Netflix, and some last minute shopping…it was really nice. It kind of reminded me of me moving away from Vancouver planning my last weekend there (ugh my favourite seawall runs, all my coffee shops etc…).
I LOVE the journal prompts below. I thought of them to help me grounded/figure out what I needed for me that weekend. Maybe you have some big life changes coming up, or you’ll soon be leaving a place you love, or you just need a weekend to yourself- these are perfect for you!
Soup season! I am going to be making these and freezing them - such a good way to be lazy, but eat healthy during cooler nights.
*Please keep in mind that all skin types are different.
This may not work for everyone, but this is what I use :)
My back is FEELING IT after packing for the move, and I am freaking determined to open up my chest and pull those shoulders back where they were before all this moving began! I am committing to the 7 days POSTURE/UPPER BODY posture program! If you’re travelling and need a posture/ arms reset this is for you!
I think these are my favourite prompts I’ve come up with in awhile… they really resonated with me for what I needed and wanted with myself. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did- and then plan it for yourself!
Solo weekend journal prompts
If you had one last solo weekend by yourself, what would you do? Where would you go in your city?
What would you need from this solo weekend? Rest, clarity, creativity etc..
What do you love most about this specific time in your life?
What intention do you want to set for yourself this weekend?
What are you currently carrying emotionally that needs to be set aside to create peace for yourself this week/weekend?
What do you love most about being with yourself and why?
Whatever stage of life you’re in right now, what are you most excited about for the next chapter?
We want to hear your story! Your motivation, authenticity and experience is worth sharing and I can’t wait to hear how you got started, where you are now, and what you are working towards, your experience with BootyByMich and how it has impacted your life. How long have you been a member for? One week, or over a year? What’s your BBM routine like? Share the vibe of your environment you create for yourself, any rituals you have before movements?!
You have the ability to share your ups and downs with us, and motivate us all. Send me a message to be spotlighted in the future. Pictures of progress can be sent too (I would love to see your progress, but no pressure at all!)
Join me in this special journey and access a whole new part of BBM, featuring tailor-made pregnancy friendly workouts.
Rooted in the BootyByMich method, this unique program blends movement, breathwork, visualization, dialogue, and journaling to help you connect deeply to yourself, your changing body and new baby.
As I move through my own journey, I’m creating a pregnancy workout program that supports not just your physical-self, but your mind, energy and relationship with yourself. I invite you to be part of it as we strengthen and support our bodies.
I am so excited to begin the new year with you all, continuing to grow this community all over the world!
You are my biggest motivation and I thank you for that.
Let’s ease into 2025 with patience, intention and enjoyment, as we build one block at a time for achieving a strong foundation for a long lasting healthy and happy way of living.
