Had to take a moment to shout out the "Stanley-Not Had to take a moment to shout out the "Stanley-Not-Stanley!" Anyone who knows me knows I'm not big on following the trends. . . but when this knockoff 'Stanley' was given to me as a gift, I realized what all the hype was about! Having a cup for water that actually. . . → fits the amount of water I should be drinking (40oz!) → comes with a straw → AND fits in my cupholder is a no-brainer! I also like how it's completely dishwasher-safe, lead-free (because having a layer of lead is apparently a thing with some cups!?), and I actually like the simple white color. (But you can also customize it with a sticker from Nikolor Art if you'd like!) I'm using it daily & hyping it up! 🙌 . . . #knockoffstanely #knockoffstanelyforthewin #nikolorart #watercups #cupswithstraws #productsilove

I've been a little quiet on this account lately. 🌿 I've been a little quiet on this account lately. 🌿 Life undoubtedly gives us challenges, and sometimes when we least expect them... But I'm back! And while I'm excited to share more about health and wellness, I also just want to acknowledge that it doesn't matter when you start... as long as you start. I'm so tired of seeing diet culture and the fitness world say you're not OK where you are. You are absolutely OK where you are, but you can always choose to change, to grow, and to do better than the day before. . . . So excited for my new health kick and amazing companies and products to support my journey! Tonight I'm jumping on a live cooking class with the founder and team of @havenskitchen ❤🙌 Can't wait to try these recipes with my fam! . . #wholefood #sauces #havenskitchen #foodblog #eeeeat #homecooking #saucerecipes #healthysauce #comfortfoods #cleaningredients
Hey you! This is your reminder that you DESERVE to Hey you! This is your reminder that you DESERVE to eat healthy foods. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our schedules and commitments that we forget to prioritize ourselves. Sometimes we focus so much on our work, our obligations, or helping our families that we neglect our needs (moms + dads, I'm talking to you!).⠀ ⠀ Take the time to make yourself a good meal.⠀ Take the time to prioritize your needs.⠀ Take the time to LOVE your body.⠀ ⠀ You deserve it. ❤️⠀
I used to spend $9-10 on an #acaibowl when I first I used to spend $9-10 on an #acaibowl when I first moved to California. They are just SO GOOD and I couldn't resist. But now I know better. Here's the trick: ⠀ ⠀ ❤️ Find acai pouches at your local grocery store (I recommend a wholesale store because they'll be bigger amounts but cheaper).⠀ ⠀ ❤️ Warm the packet up (you can leave it in the sun for about 15-20 seconds or put it in hot water until it partly thaws).⠀ ⠀ ❤️ Add frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, and black/raspberries are the best, in my opinion).⠀ ⠀ ❤️ Drizzle with honey and granola. (Optional: Add banana slices, cocoa powder, protein powder, or stir in a little apple juice or oat milk for a more creamy flavor!)⠀ ⠀ Enjoy cold. ❄️⠀ You're welcome.⠀

As a #bonusmom, I have a really important job, esp As a #bonusmom, I have a really important job, especially when it comes to mealtimes. As the "house chef" as I like to call myself (with pride 😜), I have the responsibility of making sure my humans get the right nutrients, vitamins, fruits, veggies, etc. ⠀ ⠀ Sometimes it's hard to sneak those veggies in, but salads do the trick. Put a little spicy #veganranch on top, and I can get away with lettuce, spinach, AND kale.⠀
Every morning I take this little guy for a walk ar Every morning I take this little guy for a walk around the block. We go early, before the world wakes up. Usually, my boyfriend goes with me. Sometimes his son comes, too. ⠀ ⠀ It's our little routine, a little way to jolt myself from the early morning work and into the start of the "real" day. It's a little bit of exercise. It's fresh air. It's a reminder that even if the world feels weird right now, my dog has no damn idea. He's just happy to smell nature. And maybe I could learn a little from him. 🐾⠀
see you on the 'gram!
