Somebody Say Doughnut?
As we close this week of posting of the consistency challenge, I want to be honest about 2 things + how I have been spending my time lately. So these days you can find me either cooking up snacks in the kitchen or purchasing new plants for my home. I like to think of it as me beautifying both the inside of my body while beautifying my home 🤷🏾♀️. Either way we are eating good and the air quality is sublime! If you follow my socials then you know that I was completely INFLUENCED by this amazing Plant Based chef Brianna when she made some delicious looking Vegan Doughnuts on…

Entrepreneur Life While Mothering: 4 Tips
I dont know about you, but summer is really kicking my butt in both the motherhood and entrepreneur areas of my life. If someone would have told me that I would be doing it ALL at the exact same moment everyday, I would have laughed + probably rolled my eyes. Reality vs. Imagination Let’s be real the balancing act of motherhood + working has always been a game of chance. The gotcha is, or at least for me. This time last year I would have given away my favorite pair of yoga pants for this exact opportunity of being at home. So why is this so hard now? Well, reality…

Planthood 101: Before you buy
As we enter day 673 of quarantine (I kid, I kid, no really what day is IT?), I am seeing more and more people embrace DIY’s, crafts and even Planthood. I love to see it! I myself have dabbled a little here and there on the crafts + DIY front. And honestly Ive failed miserably at a few DIYs but that is a post for a different day. Ive been a proud member of the Planthood tribe for a while now and I am so very happy to see so many people use this “down” time to embrace their green thumb. Now while you may be thinking of taking the…

Easy Quick Batter Blueberry Bread
One thing that I really enjoy that I dont make time to do enough is bake. During this quarantine Ive made it all. Cookies, breads, cakes and snacks galore. My go to recipe that I could probably make every single week is banana bread. Its sweet, hearty and great for breakfast or a snack. I recently started getting fresh produce from Farm Fresh Carolinas and in this weeks pickup there were fresh blueberrys. Now while the initial thought was these would be awesome in some pancakes, because there were so many I figured I could do something else with them. So I do want to preface this by saying I…

6 Tips to Ease into the Last 90 days of 2019
Like a thief into the night, summer has left us high and dry! When did it become fall? It seems like just a few weeks ago we were easing into summer and finally winding down before the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Hopefully I’m not alone in the feeling that I need another 2 or 3 months before we even start to think about Oct. For my household in the last 3 months of the year there are 7 birthdays (1 of course is mine), 4 holidays (we celebrate Halloween like its 1999), 3 possible holiday office parties, 2 possible family holiday parties, coordination of family visits and getting the…

Buying a new Car Tips + Tricks
If you are like me, you are a grownup who’s father/parent has always taken care of certain things for you all your life. Car buying was one of them. In my life only one other time had I went out and purchased my own car. That was about 5 years ago, after countless issues with my used purchased car from a family member that left me on the side of the road yet again I was completely over it. I went down to the Ford dealership with nothing but a prayer and hope and walked out 3.5 interest, no money down, brand new Ford Fiesta with only 7 miles on…

Journey to the Mat
Why Pilates? Since I can remember, Ive always had a plan for my life and what is should look like. These last 4 years has basically laughed in my face and said f*ck your plans lol. After many setbacks, some self afflicted and most just how the cookie crumbles I am starting on a new journey yet again, but this time with clear direction of who I am verses who I have been told to be my entire life. I have always had a love for fitness in one capacity or another, playing softball for more than half my life from childhood, running on the cross country team in college,…
