A B O U T



Welcome to Meraki and Soul, a website/blog I made to share my passions with the world.  I started in August 2017, so I could have an outlet to share the inspiration I find that gets me going EVERDAY!



Behind the name

In trying to find and perfect the name for my site, I was searching and searching interesting words. I found the word, meraki, a Greek word untranslatable in English, I was hooked.  Meraki [may-rah-kee] means when you use your soul, creativity, and love and put it into something or when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, which is what my site (meraki & soul) is for me.

I’ll tell you a few things about me,


I love nature.  There is something about being outside either in the sun or rain.  It sets the tone for my day, even my life, whether it be rain or shine.   

I love eating well.  I am a huge fan of yummy smoothies, the fruit in season, and salads. Don’t get me wrong, if you follow me you will also know I love fries and A WHOLE LOT OF sweets.  :)

I love animals.  BIG animal supporter.  I support a lot of animal rescues and causes and I am really passionate about.   I also love my very own pup, Charlie.  And yes, I will pet your dog.

I love sports.  I’m an athlete.  I love working out, but as much as I love getting a sweat in,  I love to watch others sweat.  Some of my favorite sports, but definitely are not limited to, are football, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, swimming, and more…

I love adventure.  Adventuring means having fun…why not?


Be happy.  That’s one last thing.  Whatever you do, make sure it makes you happy.  It’s not my motto, it’s my lifestyle.



Sweat.  Lifestyle.  Food.  Style.  Inspiration.
just a blog full of passion.

soul cycle (my first class & beginner tips)

 Two words… Soul Cycle .  Yep,  just two.  A week or two ago I took a little leap of faith and signed myself up for a Soul Cycle class.  Let me tell you, I had been really wanting to take a class, but where I lived there aren’t many studios nearby.  With taking a trip to Dallas, where I knew they had a few studios close by so I immediately hopped on the site, signed up, and reserved myself a bike. Studio I went to …Preston Hollow, Dallas Instructor …Kevin Before I went I had all those excited, anxious vibes.  Excited to see what all the hype was about, ready to get started!   I met up with a friend, which made it a whole lot nicer, so a suggestion would be to find a friend who wants to try out a class or who has done it before. Funny story, I actually saw one of my favorite bloggers, Kate of Lonestar Southern in the class before mine. Setting up. I had another Soul instructor that helped set me up, she readjus...

I'm sharing my funky & fresh smoothie today!!  This post I have had coming for what feels like a really long time, but I think it has been only a week.  But, hey, I just get EXCITED to share stuff!!

5 reasons you should eat oatmeal & my recipe

I, like every other person "try to eat better" and keep a clean, well balanced diet.  Eating clean has been a whole lot easier because I am always filled and I'm getting all of the nutrients I need to power through the day.  I also just feel good.  I start my day off right, which sets the mood for the rest of the day!! Why eating healthy, hardy meals helps you? You're not constantly hungry.  Trust me.  We all know when we're hungry we quickly revert to one cookie or chip, then another, then maybe just one more.  Then you feel guilty.  Since eating oatmeal I have noticed I'm not trying to have a snack in between meals.  I have been getting filled! I recently found that one of the best, most filling foods I eat is oatmeal ! Believe me, I am a huge person on texture.   And one of the foods I always had an issue with I was oatmeal.  Since eating oatmeal with some fresh fruit, it's much better.  It's like a juicy, fresh flavorful ...
