The required Du Cap post but also lets hear it for @jbradhere for winning the role as my new personal photographer. It’s always a bit better in the South of France even if you have to take 4 showers a day.

Being able to celebrate @bmorgansaks’ belated birthday together in LA has been a dream. I wish we lived in the same city! But this brilliant woman is opening THE members club of all members club in Jacksonville, FLA @thejune_club so we will all be JAX people soon NO doubt. But having her with all of us in LA just for a minute is heaven. HBD BMS!! 🌴 cc @cecikurzman @jones_gila @alo.jones @harrietposner

4 YEARS! It dawned on me the other day I missed my four year anniversary of my heart surgery which fundamentally changed my life. Time is such a weird thing.
JUST over 4 years ago in the heart of COVID and just a couple months after moving to LA from NY, I learned I was in total heart failure.
I had been born with a leaky aortic valve which over time became something called aortic stenosis. I had to get an echocardiogram annually and I knew much later in life I would likely need a valve replacement. The only real downside I thought at the time was I could never get elective surgery because no anesthesiologist would touch me. Such is life.
Then I learned not only did my valve stop working sometime in 2020, but that my aorta itself went into overdrive to compensate and was very close to bursting. So on October 1, 2020 I had surgery that saved my life. I now have a 🐄 valve and a Dacron graft over my aorta. And my life changed. A weight I had always had in me (literally and figuratively) lifted. The inflammation that had ravaged me my whole life was gone and that changed everything. Anxiety that plagued me my whole life? Gone. Constant illnesses? Gone. Fatigue? Gone.
Get your🫀checked. It is the NUMBER ONE killer of women. Ask your doctor. It is so simple. Everyone should do it.

Bucket List: 🇬🇧Edition. 🏊♀️
When invited to swim in the pond in the Heath, even on a cold day, you go. Especially when it’s on your list of things you dream of doing. And especially when @emmafreud asks you, with direction from Richard Curtis. Literally a dream. I still can’t feel my toes even though Emma says it was basically tropical temperature-wise, comparatively. (It was cold.)
An actual dream.

12 years ago TONIGHT, I was given the greatest love of my life, @potato. He was a surprise 40th birthday gift presented to me at at my surprise 40th birthday party. The whole night was a blur and the fact that I didn’t kill him that night in fact is extraordinary since I basically blacked out.
In fact, @karaswisher was taking bets on how long it would take for me to either kill the dog or give up the dog.
12 years later, I’m happy to say I didn’t do either… And instead, he turned me from being somebody who did not believe she was a dog person into someone who is maybe the biggest dog person.
Happy 12 year anniversary my darling love, @potato! 🥔🥔🥔

My baby is having another baby. Such a privilege to join my niece who is basically my baby sister/daughter, @heather.hh and her husband @klein76 for their SPRINKLE for baby #2 coming soon.
But the star of the show other than Heather was of course baby Romi who is a fierce little angel baby. Maybe due to her mom who is still teaching workout classes and running when she’s 8 months pregnant. And she learns that from her momma, @stacey_benderpr.

Hi guys. I’m continuing my series on dog health with all the learnings I have gathered in the almost 2 years my dog @Potato has had cancer. This video is about diet!
Diet in dogs!! I cannot stress enough how key this is to the health and wellness of your dog. Regardless of what stage of life they’re in regardless of whether they’re healthy we’re fighting something… Diet is key. Fresh food and anti-inflammatory things including bone broth for dogs and blueberries. 🫐🫐🫐
Ask me questions!

Well, I could talk about dogs and health all day… but I also love to talk about what so many of my friends and I are going through right now which is perimenopause.
These are words that our mothers never dared to say out loud… I’m so grateful to live in a time when we are all talking about it and have so much access to information. But there’s still not enough data or knowledgeable consensus. And today @myperi.co launched the first ever wearable for perimenopause… It is awesome. I’m wearing it now, and it gives us insights into all of our symptoms. So we can go to our doctors and show them that we’re not crazy!
Whether it’s perimenopause, heart health, all the things… Data around women is far behind where it should be. But we are making moves and I’m so grateful @myperi.co is doing this for perimenopause specifically!

A cancer diagnosis in your dog can be terrifying. But there are options in some cases that you might not know about. Let me take you on the journey I took with my dog Potato, who was diagnosed with a malignant Chemodectoma in July 2024. I’m gonna share what we have done so far, including alternative medicines, diet, therapies and other lessons learned along the way!

It’s so awesome to see everyone’s posts from across the country from the #nokings protests taking place in every city and town. So I am posting some of my fave pics from today in West Hollywood. It’s insane we all have to come together and do this but here we are. And at least you see the best of humanity in moments like this.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
