3 years ago, I got braces....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While getting braces as an adult was not an easy decision, I am grateful every time I see my smile.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2 years ago...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I changed my shampoo. While deciding to partner with the shampoo company was an intimidating decision, I am grateful every week for this additional income stream (and my hair).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time does indeed move on and one day you look back and you’re so incredibly grateful for those decisions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your future self could send you a message right now, what would it be?🤔

What advice would you give your 20 year old self?🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know what mine would be? Start incorporating anti-aging products.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yup, that’s all I’d tell her. I have no regrets – I traveled, I wore sunscreen, I partied, I spent time with loved ones, I moved to a city I always wanted to live in, I lived well with no regrets. I just didn’t know that experts recommend the road to prevention starts at 20 as that’s when our skin slowly starts to lose collagen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, it’s never too late. Now, my best advice is to make sure it’s plant-based. Love that modern nature allows us to formulate natural ingredients to work.❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re turn…

Okay who’s read book, Untamed????⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book is hitting me in the gut. I tend to feel things in my gut – like literally in my belly. I’m an Enneagram 8 (The Challenger) and our instinct and intuition are felt in our body, particularly our belly/gut.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can feel myself slowly letting this slowdown that the world has created unravel me. Unravel me by learning to be bored. Unravel me by learning to be quiet and listen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m suddenly curious – I want a deeper layer of who I really am, what is important to me, what lights me up, and where I really want to go with my life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I journal, meditate and just let myself sit around and think more than I ever did, and you know what I’m discovering?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am doing exactly what I need to be doing right now. I’m right where I need to be and everything is happening in perfect timing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My word for this year is Play. I’m learning to be by myself more and play. This is what we all did as children right?! Before the world told us who we were, we were innocent... perfect little beings who played, laughed, cried, and just explored becoming ourselves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not going to bash society and systems right now, but they did affect and change us. So I’m using this time to slow myself down and get back inside to who that innocent and perfect little being was and what she wants to be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you’ll read this book!🙏🏻

Aaaaand they work great!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know I’m into finding non-toxic alternatives to everything. But they gotta work too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I highly recommend these non-toxic, enamel-friendly whitening strips. I’m now also using their whitening toothpaste and love it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who wants a little discount to give them a try? – Check out www.oralessentials.com and let me know what you think!

☕️Today’s coffee talk…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You CAN be addicted to your dry shampoo as much as your coffee!😏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you’ll feel safe being addicted to this one because they replaced the propane and butane (yup, check your bottles ladies) with organic sugar cane and the talc (even cosmetic-grade is toxic) with agrana rice starch.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WIFM, you ask? It will freshen your 2-3+ day hair, absorb oil, and condition and volumize all at the same time, which means you look good while staying home.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s today’s coffee talk!

Wanna know one of my favorite questions?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently I was asked “where should I start my transition to plant-based products???” I beam with delight and my mind races with what to share!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My journey started with a shampoo and my only question at the time was if it was paraben, sulfate and cruelty-free – it met that criteria, so I just tried it. When I started noticing way better results than the paraben, sulfate and cruelty-free products I was using, I got really curious. With so many choices on the market, how do you choose?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, start with what’s important to you, but as I look back on my journey (which is ongoing) I would start with deodorant. I’m happy to share my favorite ones and what to expect as this can be one of the more difficult to transition, but I guarantee it will help you understand why it’s so important to switch!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Start small and build, but here’s a few pointers as not all plant-based products are created equal:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can trust a brand’s website if they list and address their ingredients, especially things like “fragrances” and colors or dyes, which is usually where toxins are hidden. And while it might seem obvious today, look for their list of “no’s” which should be lengthy and include parabens, sulfates, cyclic silicones, BHT, DEA/MEA, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to beauty products, if it meets the EU’s standards, which bans over 1,300 ingredients compared to the US measly 11, then they are committed to doing the right thing!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Look at their certifications and who’s on their Scientific Advisory Boards. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BONUS if the company has their own R&D facility. Investing in research is important for two reasons: knowing the ins/outs of the ingredients (see above) AND innovation – this world needs more vegetable alternatives so I applaud companies that invest in this type of science.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And as you learn, please share with me…I’m always interested in learning and trying new plant-based products!

Be my Valentine? 💝⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Friday, I’ll be offering my final, free breathwork session and I can’t think of a better way to end my practicum than on Valentine’s Day. No partner needed (but totally welcome)…let me be your date for a quick breathwork session to feel the power of connection, and then go enjoy your night and weekend, with an open and expanded heart. 💗⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is Breathwork? It's a body-based meditative practice that uses the breath to quiet the mind, release stuck emotions, and regulate the nervous system. It can feel like a warm hug, a powerful clearing, or a complete release. 💓⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who wants to join me for this final hour of my practicum and feel the power of connection to yourself and others? 💞

Be still my 💗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is kinda big deal!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They haven’t had a promo on our plant-based skin care line since it launched in Sept 2019. So if you wanna try a supercharged serum that will reduce your fine lines, wrinkles, appearance of age spots and uneven skin tones, then this weekend’s sale is a good place to start.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just like those little buggers over there (my retainers) are keeping my teeth straight after finally learning my lesson by having braces again as an adult, a good skincare line will make your life way easier then covering up all those other little buggers with makeup. Let it be easy (and natural).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And for those of you obsessed with our organic oil (also natural anti-aging properties), you will definitely want in on this deal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get these two babies for $50 (retail $99 each) when you spend $84. Reach out and I’ll hook you up.

Got your 2020 vision all mapped out in your head?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, then join me on Saturday, Jan 4th and put it on a vision board.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No, then join me on Saturday, Jan 4th and create it real-time on a vision board.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll have the prosecco and snacks, so just grab a poster or cork board and some magazines laying around your house.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you’re rolling your eyes thinking how is a vision board gonna make all my dreams come true? Well, it won’t – visuals help us remember what we want to attract, but YOU are the true power behind making everything you desire come true. You have just forgotten how your Master Manifestor and Super Attractor powers work, so I’ll share a few great hacks I’ve relearned this year…if you’re willing to show up!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who’s showing up????

A year ago today, we walked this beach and said how we should do this every New Year’s Day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Actually, we visited this beach a lot in 2019.🌴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here we are honoring one decade and cheering to the next.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your New Year’s Day traditions?
