get to know us

Hey, Kladies! 

We are your new wellness besties, from Colorado. We are excited to launch our lifestyle blog, covering our main niches: health/wellness, traveling, and style. We have always prioritized health and wellness and actually met at an Orange Theory Gym, back in 2018. It was love at first meet. We quickly became best friends, neighbors, and now business partners. We even built houses on the same street in 2021, and it elevated our lives even more. For years, we entertained the idea of creating something together. Early 2024, we decided to deep dive into the blogging world, and KLATE was born. KLATE represents us, as our first names begin with K and L. It also includes the words late (as of late) and ate (where and what we ate). 

We are passionate about health and wellness, and we hope to inspire others to venture into the best version of themselves. But, we have an imperative disclaimer: we live an 80/20 lifestyle. During the week, we meal prep, stick to healthy diets, and stay from alcohol. Weekends are our rewards; we love to yap over a glass (or a bottle) of wine, and indulge in a Reese’s Big Cup. Work hard, play hard mentality. 

We love to travel and we pride ourselves on our trendy, thoughtful, exemplary itineraries. From Denver to Paris, and many places in between, we will share our go-to spots for your upcoming travels. 

Day-to-day, you will catch us in athleisure and sneakers. For a brunch or night out, we appreciate a good pair of denim, and we love any opportunity to wear our cowboy hats. Our style consists of mostly black and neutral colors, which our home decor also reflects. 

K….Born in ’89. A proud wife of nine years and fur mama to the sweetest, laziest English cream golden retriever, Leo. An occupational therapist by background turned full-time sales executive with the privilege of traveling frequently for work. K has struggled with disordered eating, gut health, and infertility as a result of the early 2000’s cardio and diet culture. Thanks to at-home workouts during Covid, K stumbled across Pilates and it changed everything. Avid skier, traveler, hiker, bruncher and dog walker – K’s focus for 2025 is a continued focus on optimal gut health and fitness hacks. 

L…is 38 and feelin’ great. L is a blessed wife of 13 years and a full time mom of two dynamic boys. L’s boys (10 & 7) are very active and involved in competitive sports. Before L became a SAHM, she was an Elementary school teacher, with some Interior Design experience sprinkled in. L loves traveling, eating, playing and watching sports. L’s go to workout is a Sweat Den class (a local studio + on demand access) and/or a run. In 2025, L will focus on hormone balancing and enhancing her whole family wellness routine.

We are not here to gate-keep hidden gems and wellness secrets. If we find it, we’ll share it. We are honored to embark on this journey with you!

Cheers,

K + L
