😍🍓🥞😍🍓🥞😍🍓🥞 Noms! This might look like breakfast, but don't be fooled, you can find me eating these FROZEN WAFFLES for almost any meal of the day 😂😂 . One of my friends (who is a dietician, mind you) told me about @kashi frozen berry waffles while we were both pregnant. She said they actually have pretty good ingredients (which they do! clean and vegan!) and go great with peanut butter or almond butter for a nutritious, protein-packed breakfast. I used to love eating eggo waffles in high school. So bad and yet so, so good!! But these hit the spot! 💯 She also informed me you can buy them in bulk at Costco. Game changer. 💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺 . Have you heard about what's going on in the Amazon? Fires are devastating precious land that we need for our planets survival, not to mention destroying the lives of indigenous peoples and animals that call the rainforest home. One MAJOR way you can help is by slowing down your beef consumption. It is estimated that cattle ranching is responsible for up to 80% (eighty percent!!!!😱😱😱) of the fires!!! So #veganrecipes are extremely relevant right now. 😉🐮 . After toasting these babies, I put on peanut butter (organic and palm-oil free!), fresh fruit (local), and a drizzle of honey (organic and local 💯🍯). There are lots of different ways to have them but this is by far my favorite. FINGER-LICKIN' GOOD. 🍽👩‍🍳 . . . #veganeating #veganbreakfast #veganbreakfastideas #veganeats #meatlessmonday #meatlessmeals #eatlocal #eatorganic #chooseorganic #shoplocal #localorganicfood #supportyourlocalbeekeeper #govegan #veganeatsplease #breakfastideas #quickbreakfast #cleaneating #eggfreebreakfast #cleaneats #eatclean #ecofriendlyfood #ecofriendlyliving #palmoilfree #palmoilfreefood #palmoilfreeproducts #savetheamazon #savetheamazonrainforest #prayforamazonia #stopclimatechangenow

Prepping for 🌪 dorian got me running around like a crazy person. Luckily I got all my editing and podcast posting done on the front end of power outages 🔌🔦 in case you haven't seen it yet, my latest episode is ready and waiting for you to listen! 🎙🎧 . Many moons ago I became interested in ethical gift giving. I came across this organization that sold charcoal soap 🧼 and so I bought some for my stepmom for Christmas. It was a cool gift and I knew it gave back to families in Africa somehow. 🇪🇹 🇺🇬 🇿🇼 🇬🇭 That's all I knew then. . Fast forward a few years to me being a podcaster and reaching out to The Adventure Project for an interview. I got to sit down with the President and Co-Founder of @theadventureproject , Becky Straw, and learn just exactly what they are doing with the proceeds from these sales and why charcoal soap is more than just a trendy product. . @theadventureproject is fighting to see extreme poverty come to an end. Lofty goal, huh? That's what I thought, too, but hearing about the four ways they approach poverty and how they are creating jobs has me convinced that this is an organization worth supporting. ♥️ I can say honestly that this is one of my favorite convos yet. My heart behind this show is to talk about important and often heavy topics in a way that doesn't feel so heavy. Becky did a great job will leave you with ways that you can help fight global poverty, too. Even if it's as simple as buying a block of soap! 🧼🎁👏 . If that doesn't entice you, I should also share that @theadventureproject also has a campaign going on RIGHT NOW where if you join their collective, your monthly gift will be matched for an entire year! 💃🏼🤑🙌 check out the link in my bio! . . #newpodcastepisode #podcastsforwomen #podcastsforeveryone #podcastsfortheculture #podcastsforfamilies #consciousliving #newpodcastalert #podcastersofig #podcastersofinstagram #podcastsformen #fightpoverty #endpoverty

I'm sad to admit that I'm part of "Bachelor Nation." 🙋‍♀️🙈 it's a little shameful but I'm so there for it. One of my fav things is laughing at the awkward scenes of the contestants walking in an open field or staring out a window, clearly pondering life. You can tell how awkward they feel, and it's so relatable! Anytime I do a photo shoot, be it for my website or whatever the reason, half of the pictures look like this because I feel so awkward and start laughing at myself 👆🏼😅 . @mccloudlife asked me to participate in a "self love" challenge where you post a picture JUST of yourself (no kids allowed). I'm late to the party (bc social media takes a backseat to my life and that's how i roll ✌🏼) but I'm here! It makes me pretty uncomfortable, but after thinking about it I have a lot to be proud of. . For all the times that I've disliked the way I look, wished my body was different, or wanted to change something about my personality, I want to compliment it now. I read Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist a few years ago and I remember she talked about how she had beaten herself up for so long because she never felt thin. She said bad things about her body for so many years, but that all changed after she had a baby. She realized how thankful she was for that body of hers because it did it's most important job ever. I feel that now. The fact that this body, cellulite and scars and split ends and all, this body has been able to grow and sustain a little life - that fact is not lost on me. I'm forever grateful for this body and I'm trying to remember to use language and a mindset that reflects that. 🙌 . This is one reason that came to mind when Raquel asked me why I am #worthselflove . I believe fully that God designed me to be uniquely me, flaws and all, and He loves me that way. 🖤 It's not easy to remember, but I'm trying to own it. As one of my friends puts it, life is SO much more fun when you're not busy comparing yourself to others! 👯‍♀️ Why are you #worthselflove ? . Also shout out to @kathrynjpatton2 for taking pics of me and helping me to laugh at myself 📸🖤 . . .

A sacred space for all 🐶💑👶🏻🥰 I didn't know I was pregnant when we bought our first house, and as soon as I found out my countdown timer began - I needed to get that house in order before baby came! 🏠 I had multiple people tell me that I was the only pregnant person they knew that was praying their baby came late because they needed more time!!! The baby came early 😜 and the house was not in perfect order (and never will be), but I did prioritize making our bedroom a haven because I predicted I would be living out of it for a while after having a baby. I was right. 😇 . Bedding is not the easiest to find secondhand, but I did my best to still make some ethical purchases. I got our duvet cover from an Etsy shop based out of Bellaruse - apparently linen grows bountifully there! 🌱🌱 I chose organic stone-washed linen because it's naturally antibacterial 🧼, gets softer with each wash 🧺, looks pretty while wrinkled, and is a little more affordable than organic cotton.💯 I have a minor obsession with throw pillows that my husband doesn't understand, but i just think they make a bed look so cozy!! 🛏💆‍♀️ Instead of buying all new, I got different pillow covers and used them on old throw pillows we already had. A little more affordable and a little less buying new! 🥳 If I can't find secondhand bedding that I like, I try to make sure I am buying organic or certified Oeko-Tex to support sustainable farming. Our nightstands are assembled crates that I stained using the homemade vinegar stain 🧫 (check out my highlights if you missed it!!) and the wall hanging is from my favorite @tenthousandvillages ! It's actually a blanket made from recycled saris by women in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 who have left the red light district!! How amazing is that?!🙌 . Most everything else pictured was bought new at some point, but I am also working on the art of REUSING my things. ♻️ It's tempting to want to buy new stuff, especially when you move into a new place, but sometimes the most ethical option is just keeping and using what you already have, even if it's imperfect. 🖤 What tips do you have on secondhand and ethical shopping for your bedroom?! . . .
