I have really been mood boarding like crazy (I had a lot of time to kill on my back for nine days with a neck sprain. Seriously who sprains their neck in their sleep?) And I really have been playing with light and shadows within my photography so I just wanted to share some beautiful pics that I took of my friend Katie. I think they are so pretty and hope you will too!
Read MoreIt’s no secret that I love female entrepreneurs!!
Jeana has such an incredible story and it's been so fun getting to know her fully! She is always direct, and honest. She always tells it like it is, doesn’t dwell, and instead always moves forward. So inspired by Jeana, I returned home and started brainstorming a shoot location and knew I wanted to feature her on Go French Yourself.
Read MoreI love the idea of an apéritif-they are just so simple and refreshing! For today’s cocktail, I turned to a classic Italian aperitivo for inspiration, but with a twist-combining Prosecco with freshly muddled peach and mint and a splash of Perrier Peach. Perrier Peach is one of the newest flavor in Perrier’s line of all-natural flavored sparkling waters (the L’Orange flavor is also lovely in this easy Prosecco cocktail)
Read MoreI arrived home from Aspen BITE NWA over the weekend and it admittedly took me a couple days to fully recover from the delicious eats and drinks! It was a gloriously busy and delicious few days, and I was excited to team up with Maddy Rang from Octagon who ran the social for Bite and host two Instagram takeovers. I brought home so much inspiration from the event, the cooking demos, and the newer Bentonville restaurants I discovered, and simply soaking up all that energy from fellow passionate foodies. We also had time to squeeze in some culture making it to The O'Keefe exhibit at Crystal Bridges and see The Bachman-Wilson House that Frank Lloyd Wright built. It was moved from New Jersey if you can believe that. Anyhow, keep reading for 10 experiences from BITE NWA that have got me so stoked to get in the kitchen and make some fabulous meals!
Read MoreCould not be more excited to make this Q&A live today because it happens to feature one of my best friends!
I am so excited for Katie and her new Pilates career.
Katie is our very own Tulsa girl with an infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm for the perfect Pilates move.
She discovered Reformer Pilates months ago while accompanying me for a class and it very quickly it became a passion. The principles of Pilates, the concentration and coordination came for naturally for her and she loved Pilates so much she decided to become a Pilates Instructor!
Read MoreI have ALWAYS had a thing for good ole Oak Cliff even before it was a thing!
And if you are looking for that BIG D quintessential Dallas experience--you want to stay in The Bishop Arts District! It's only minutes from downtown.
And we found the most adorable Air BnB in the greatest location in The Bishop.
Read MorePilates has improved my sports performance. My posture is better. I have an increased joint range of motion and increased muscle flexibility. I am building muscle tone everyday I practice. And pilates has helped my back pain and reduce my stress.
I found myself sitting taller. And I am always finding myself in neutral spine now!
Pilates builds a body awareness that translates into everything that I do now and I couldn't be happier.
So I have talked about Club Pilates in South Tulsa quite a but but today I want to introduce you to the Jenks location!
Read Moreou know time is flying by when you can't remember the last time you had Sunday brunch and you guys---that is just NOT acceptable. The thing is, I can't quite think what I've been doing with my weekends instead which is also NOT acceptable. I sorta feel like I need to renounce my title of 'avid bruncher' to you guys however, I'm hoping this post will redeem myself. I even decided to write it early and dedicate the whole thing to brunch VS my weekend guide to OKC so that's gotta earn me some credit here.
So darlings---let's brunch so hard in OKC!!!

Read MoreI cannot believe that I am celebrating my two month anniversary at Club Pilates. I am absolutely loving it too!
I have been noticing some amazing things happening too and as promised from my last post, I am thrilled to update you with all the progress.

Read MoreSo back to that wow factor. I have recently uncovered one such treatment at Revolution Med Spa. A new celebrity fave the Fire and Ice Facial is a 60 minute treatment that seeks to bridge the gap between a mild facial and an invasive peel and promises instantaneous and long-lasting results.
Read MoreOh Em Geeeeee- Hello. Bonjour. It’s officially February — So what does that mean? I’ve got hearts, flowers, and chocolates on the brain! We’re less than two weeks away from one of my absolute favorite holidays: Valentine’s Day so today’s post is centered around the theme of love. Although most people would argue that Valentine’s day is a holiday created by greeting card companies and it's easy to get cynical, but here at Go French Yourself, we prefer to embrace it fully and get all lovey dovey. Because whether you’re single or attached, Valentine’s Day is a sweet occasion to show your loved ones just how much you care. For me personally, it’s a time for me to really honor the important people in my life. I think by now, we’ve all come to the conclusion that Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to just be for lovers. Little holidays always make a great excuse to treat yourself or others- through big or little ways- it’s totally up to you! And what better way to celebrate all the love in your life than by getting them something special? What should you do with your significant other/girlfriends/family/self ?!
I have all those answer's for you in this post! I have partnered with Whole Foods Market and put together a few ideas for your for date night and everyone else mentioned above. The best part is you only have to go to one place to get all of your shopping done this year. Whole Foods Market is here to inspire you and help you spread the love with their most fab rose sale AND their Cupid's Shopping Picks throughout the whole store.
Read MoreWere you one of the lucky ones to get engaged over the holidays?!
I had quite a few friends begin 2018 with a new piece of sparkling jewelry on their finger.
In a brunch gathering the other day when I asked my girlfriends how wedding planning was going, the one thing I kept hearing over and over was how flowers were busting their wedding budgets. Most brides want bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and ceremony and reception arrangements. With the current wedding conundrum being flowers, I figured I would offer some help and guidance to my community here in Tulsa. The more and more Go French Yourself grows, I really want this blog to be your go-to for anything you can possibly imagine. I also figure this will help me for my own wedding one day--HELLO Lin..are you reading??! (lol)
