Water Propagation in 3 Steps
Ok Plant parents, if you are already part of PlantHood then you probably have a good idea of what Propagation is. If you are newer to this Lifestyle, propagation is taking the cutting of one plant (parent plant) and growing a new plant from the clippings. Propagation is a good tool to use when shaping or pruning your plants + its an amazing way to grow a whole new plant without spending more money! Now while there were lots of positive reasons to propagate I was super nervous about taking those steps on my own. I didn’t like the idea of cutting my plants. I did the research. Looked at lots of…

If you know me then you already know that self care is non-negotiable AND is essential in me being the very best version of myself. By now we all know the benefits of taking care of ourselves.

Mask got you Chapped? DIY Lip Scrub
As we move into cooler months you might notice your lips getting a little bit more chapped than usual. If you are anything like me, then you probably have gone through tons of chapstick, gloss and lip ointment since covid started. Before mask became mandatory pretty much everywhere outside of the house, I prided myself on taking really good care of my skin + lips. Having a good routine pretty much sets the foundation of how our skin ages. This is no different with the skin around the eyes, our hands and especially our lips. Let’s face it, skin care routines are like lifelines 🤷🏾♀️. Ok, so genetics + lifestyle…

Leaving Low Carb Behind
Well friends, this whole low carb lifestyle is not for me. I actually knew that it wasnt for me within the very first few days of starting. But because I know starting/trying new things can be somewhat difficult I thought that I should actually give myself a full 2 weeks before coming to the conclusion that this wasnt it. Dont get me wrong, there are some benefits I suppose to keeping a low carb diet. Heck I personally know several people that live + THRIVE, like thrive thrive on a low carb diet. Im just not one of those people. And in this season in my life I have no…

Working from Home
I was starting to feel the pressure my friend. I dont think any of us expected to still be in this space currently. Like many of you, I naturally assumed that things would get back to “normal” or at least something that resembled the “old” normal. I have a couple things coming up that was beginning to make me anxious. #DramaTeen is entering the 8th grade the same day that I begin Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training. All while my hubs is working full-time remote. When the kids were released from school in March, we had a little routine down. But honestly once summer hit, we loosened up on the schedules.…

A Few Changes
And just like that here we are Welcoming August! I know I cant be the only one feeling like this year is just speeding right on by. Regardless if it seems like August came out of no where or whether you feel like this is the longest year ever, this is it, here we are. If you happen to be a new reader, in July I participated in a blogging consistency challenge where essentially I posted a new blog post every weekday M-F. We completed the challenge last week + I needed a few days to wrap my head around what I actually learned. Can we have a truth moment?…

Traveling During a Pandemic
As the world begins to slowly reopen traveling may be something you might want to begin to consider, with some precaution of course. Full transparency, I have always been a nervous traveler, even pre-rona. Something about leaving my safe space of home and going to another location really plays on my anxiety. Part of that anxiety was due to of course, all of the unknowns that come with traveling. Luckily there are some unknowns that you can easily dismiss by checking head of time such as the weather, traffic delays or reroutes. Prepare + Plan With Covid in play + varying restrictions from state to state, there are a whole…

Nutrition Dense Smoothie
Over the last few weeks we have talked meditation, getting movement in our body and even cleansing our spaces (externally + internally). As a person that wears many hats, mom, wife, business owner, I know all too well how easy nutrition can get lost in the mix of things especially as survival mode kicks in. At the start of the year I made a conscious decision that no matter what was going on that I would put my body first. Now did I think that I would need to keep that promise during Covid or Social Injustice, no not at all. However now more than ever I realize the importance of taking care…
