It's Wednesday!

FOOD

With the warmer weather approaching, I switch up my menu at home. I usually make soup once a week in the colder months (great meal to double up and freeze half right away). That’s October to now. Starting in May, I exchange my soup making for salad making. My kids like vegetables so, I count myself blessed!

These jarred salads are easy to make, and virtually produce no waste when packaged in an old jar. For a heartier version, replace the lettuce with pasta or do both!

Bon appétit!

FITNESS

Do you love being active and all things fitness? I feel that the word fitness gets a bad rep. You don’t need to go to the gym or work out to be fit or to enjoy fitness. You just need to be able to move.

With all that being said, the human body in the gym is a work of art.

FASHION

I love fashion so much! I love accessorizing and I love coming up with looks. You can see how hairstyling and I work very well together right? For this instalment of fashion, I’m featuring my baby Zo.

Here are some shots of his 2 year old self, he is a gem for letting me dress him and shoot him EVERYDAY! Any of you enjoy dressing your kids? let me know! Honestly, deep down, I think he likes it! Enjoy!

DWELLINGS

Happy Wednesday! Here is a spot I really love spending time in. We sometimes forget how our spaces heal us and help us grow. Which spot in your home brings you joy?

I love my sitting room, the sun sets here and the orange light she leaves behind is magical. My children and I sometimes relax here and listen to music. The best conversations happen in this room. Hands down my fave place in my home.

Impromptu sitting room photoshoot. The light in here is bananas…

Golden hour in the sitting room: Otito

The baby and I sit in the orange chair and watch the traffic, the bunnies, the crows, and all other forms of life go by. The windows really make this room great and the plants that live here love it as well!

Baby on the run!

For all the plant lovers, we will have a tour soon! The fiddle leaf fig here, Fergus, is one of the main features of joy, He’s the best!

Have a good Wednesday!

Sutra Blowout Brush

Let’s face it, we all have no where to go but we still want to look good! The Sutra Blowout Brush is the answer to all your non outing prayers! This brush will give you great volume and a salon look and feel in very little time! You can even just use it on your fringe and the top of your head for those last minute zoom meetings or facetime hangs!

How does it work? Wash/condition your hair and fully towel dry. Apply the proper products for volume and longevity. Take a few minutes to brush your teeth, shave or just tidy up your space. Give your hair a few minutes to air dry and then start the process. Start at the nape and work your way to the top and fringe. Practice *over-directing for that extra volume and use sectioning clips to help isolate the section you are blowing.

You’ll be BLOWN away! ….see what I did there? The Sutra brush is currently on sale for 15% off the original price of $150. Head over to the store and check it out before they are all gone. Don’t forget to buy product as well. Protecting the hair is very important. Good luck!

*the act of pulling your hair in the opposite direction of where you want it, in order to create volume

What? Uashmama?

Basically, uashmama (wash-mama) are reusable paper bags. They come in all shapes, sizes, and forms. I own a laundry basket, storage bags, and grocery totes. Love. Love. Love. You know where you can find some…

If eco friendly things are your jam, and unique things are your jam, then maybe uashmama could be your jam too? It’s never too late to challenge yourself when it comes to the items we purchase. We can always ask ourselves some simple questions. Do I need this? Where and how was it made? Am I supporting a business in my own community? Is it sustainable? How often will I need to replace said product?

Ok, so there were more than just some simple questions there, but as you challenge yourself more, it will become easier. Trust.
