We recently had the joy of catching up with Molly McCarthy from The Daily Balance!
Molly is an integrative holistic health coach who helps others add healthy patterns into everyday life. From nutrition and movement, to gut and hormone health, Molly shares small habits that can make a big impact. Whether it’s nutritious recipes, intuitive movements, or ways to regulate the nervous system, her goal is to provide a holistic approach to a balanced lifestyle.
We also love Molly’s effortlessly chic style. She told us her go-to styling tips, self-care must-haves, and what she always keeps in her beach bag.
How do you incorporate fashion into your life as a wellness blogger?
I try to share my everyday clothes and links. I feel like I live in leggings and workout clothes, so I love an excuse to dress up — especially on vacation! As a soon-to-be bride, I love wearing anything white. A favorite piece is the Claudia Crochet Dress in Ivory —an elegant summer dress that transitions easily from the city to the pool.
How would you describe your personal style?
I would say casual but also chic! I try to elevate everyday looks with pops of color, patterns, or a fun trend. Maybe accessorizing a simple workout set with a fun pair of sunglasses, layering gold jewelry with a swimsuit, or wearing a sundress in a playful pattern.
How do you prioritize wellness and movement while you’re traveling?
I try to stick to micro habits — hydration, sunlight, and movement as much as possible. I love bringing electrolytes and snacks with me to have on hand. If you’re traveling to a resort or hotel with workout classes, that could be a fun way to try something new and fit in movement while you’re away from home.
What are your non-negotiable self-care essentials that you always bring with you?
I don’t go anywhere without my eye mask to sleep in, and then essential oil roll-ons, and hydrating face masks! One of my must-haves to help prevent breakouts is the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray for after workouts.
What are your favorite ways to style our resort wear at the beach?
I love a linen look. An oversized button-down, linen pants, and a cute suit is always a beach vibe for me — paired with a big hat and tote.
Okay, what’s in your beach tote bag?
Besides essentials like sunscreen and sunglasses, I bring my Kindle, water, headphones, and a sun hat. I really just like to set up shop and read for hours!
This summer, she’s reaching for the Tortoise Halter and Tortoise Hipster in White Texture and the Hook Back Tortoise and Tortoise Hipster in Peri Gingham. She styles them with the Nola Tunic in White. She carries her beach necessities in our roomy Fatigue Monogrammed Beach Tote. This tote also doubles as the perfect workout bag!
