WOW OKAY so #January is off to a running start. I’ve started a new lead role at my job, we added four more furry paws to our fam (see last post 🐺 #KipStoneBru), and I’ve already checked off another dental surgery (the #dentalimplant process has been trying me 🥴). Did I mention I also relaunched and rebranded my blog? 👩🏻‍💻

It’s like...a whole heckuva LOT to pack into 16 days. Starting to think I just like the chaos 🙋🏻‍♀️, but the irony is that I’m actually the WORST with big changes. Anyone else scramble for normalcy when life hits you with a fresh phase? Or do you thrive in those situations? 

Can’t wait to see what the last half of January brings. I’m thinking a new and steady routine. Just waiting for that new groove to hit. 😏

Pave the path for feeling strong with @epicbar #ad @thefeedfeed. When I'm venturing out for a hike, I keep an Epic Wagyu Beef Steak Strip on hand as a quick macro-friendly snack. 🥩 

@epicbar serves up a convenient savory snack that'll keep you fueled up on your outdoor adventures. You can find @epicbar snacks at your local @sprouts - a store I LOVE for its varietal offerings. Locate a Sprouts near you by using this link: bit.ly/find-sprouts. 

Speaking of Sprouts, they’re running a pretty EPIC promotion on multiple @epicbar products right now. You can snag this Epic Wagyu Beef Steak Strip (one of my faves 😍) at your local store for just $1.49 thru 1/26!

Beef up your outdoor adventures. Go for the long trails. Give @epicbar a try.

Did you wait until today to start focusing on your goals and intentions for 2021 🤪? HAHA it is Monday after all. I hit publish on a new blog post (feels good to be back bby !!!) sharing my goals for 2021. Some of them include: 

Go one year on a pescatarian diet 🐟 – I’ve actually done this diet before and I’m excited to give it a go again in 2021. 

Incorporate meditation and/or breathing into my daily routine 🧘🏻‍♀️ – Last year I started using the Breathe App on my Apple Watch. My timeframes were short, like 5 minutes each morning short LOL. It was still something and helped me center myself a bit before my day picked up. I plan to keep incorporating this into my daily routine. 

Make our fireplace a visual statement 🔥 – Right now it’s literally a stand alone mantle and a square hole for the fire. I want to bring our fireplace to LIFE. Maybe with some cool tiling or a new abstract cut for the fire hole?

All of my goals are broken out into categories on my blog post because I LOVE a good organized text visual. See the full post on keepingupwithkahla.com (click the link in my bio). 👩🏻‍💻

our @oxfordexchange @ubereats brunch order 🍳:

+ breakfast tacos 🌮 - not normally a chorizo gal, but these were insanely good. 
+ fried chicken sandwich 🍗 - perfectly crisp chicken, even to-go. LOVED the pickles. 
+ a shareable cinnamon roll to end things on a sweet note. 🧁

Kicking alcohol to the curb this month 🤪 anyone else on the dry January vibe? It’s my first dry Jan because usually Gasparilla interferes 😂. Catch me pinning mocktail recipes on Pinterest. If you have any fun mocktail ideas shoot them to me in DMs or share them below. PLEASE (currently just drinking my @lacroixwater and @bublywater out of wine glasses which while fun, may need some pizzazz SOON).🍹 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 #LTKstyletip #amazonfashion #amazonfinds #founditonamazon #dress #longsleevedress http://liketk.it/354Ez #tampablogger #floridablogger

About

The Blog

Keeping Up with Kahla is a lifestyle blog based in Clearwater, Florida. Throughout its pages you’ll find lifestyle nuggets, foodie faves, travel tell-alls, and more.

While Keeping Up with Kahla serves as a direct resource to my life, musings, and favorite things – it also encapsulates the world through the eye of a twenty something millennial. Most days I’m just trying to figure out how to do it all while having it all. You’ll see a lot of my face on here, but guest appearances usually include: my family, friends, husband, and a little dog with a big pawsonality – my Pomeranian: Nash.

Writing has always been a love of mine. Even within the pages of one too many diaries that my mom always seemed to find. When a sudden spark of inspiration hits or I have a story to share – it’s like the words immediately type themselves out in my mind. I can see the sentences tack onto one another. Memories connect, puns intend themselves, and I reach for the Notes app on my iPhone to type away.

My intention as a blogger is to harness an audience that believes in living their best life now. I want people to read these stories and know that someone is going through or thinking the same exact thing that they are. The only difference is that one of us decided to publish it on the internet.

I started Keeping Up with Kahla as a creative outlet for myself. As I mentioned above, I’ve always loved writing. Oversharing and connecting with others fall right into suit with that passion. Blogging allows me to do all of those things on a larger scale than my diaries ever did. This site has grown into a place where I can share my stories, work with brands that I love, and ultimately connect with an audience of people that are keeping up.

On Keeping Up with Kahla you’re going to find every day life served up with a side of extra. I hope that you find inspiration in these pages. Laugh at me or with me, learn something from me, or just relate. It’s my life that’s on the menu and it’s served fresh – eat it up.

The Kahla

First things first, my name is pronounced exactly like “kay-la”. Apparently my mom took the spelling from some soap opera she used to watch and it’s been confusing teachers, administrative professionals, and robotic reminder calls for appointments ever since.

Telling you about myself is always a challenge because I never know quite how to sum me up. I guess I can start by saying my mind is usually in overdrive – even at 3AM if I wake up from a dream. Olive Garden is my happy place. My favorite Christmas movie is Four Christmases. I live close to Clearwater Beach, but don’t go nearly as much as I’d like to. Food textures are a BIG DEAL for me. Like, a huge ridiculous deal. In my opinion one wrong texture can ruin an entire meal.

I’m a born and raised Florida girl. Most people always tell me how rare that is since our state is mostly full of transplants. I always knew one day I’d have a Pomeranian, but never knew I’d marry a midwestern guy. Ben is definitely my more patient, understanding, and logical half. While I’m getting lost in dreamscapes, he sprinkles in the realities. We’re happily married, but Ben understands that I’ll still sing any of Taylor Swift’s heart wrenching breakup songs at the top of my lungs as if I’m currently living it.

When it comes down to it – I’ve always had some vehicle for writing. My diaries, Myspace, Xanga, Tumblr, what have you – words have always found a way to escape my mind and onto a page or a screen. The magic is in the moment of when a complete stranger can read those words and say: “I totally get it”.
