Another Waffle Wednesday gone write right.

Van’s rule my freezer: banana, coconut, pecans & real maple.

My newest obsession.

020 

Sparkling tea, you’ve got me.

Mom pulls through again: edamame spread.

Feed me fresh fruit and I’m a happy kid.

Greek yogurt has stolen my heart.

I’m spoiled with sushi.

The newest addition to my dishware collection. It did its job perfectly.

Night!

What’s your style? I am a complete minimalist. I am constantly cleaning out my closet. Everything has a place. I despise clutter. It isn’t necessarily a good thing, but I can’t exactly help it… it runs in my family.

    What a wonderful array of eats – the colours in that fruit bowl are just divine!
    I HATE clutter too – I am such a minimalist also!

    I love your eats today, they were perfect.

    Waffles, fruit, sushi + edamame spread = my idea of perfection.

    Love you photographs on the grass, too.

    I can’t stand clutter, either. My house is very spartan and streamlined.

    However, I can’t throw *anything* away so I always just tend to store everything hidden boxes out of view.

    I am the anti-clutter queen!!!! Clutter makes me go crazy. It’s even so bad that I won’t let my husband leave the mail on the counter for more than 2 hours. Haha, I guess it’s a good thing but sometimes he gets a little annoyed.

    Beautiful eats girl. Everything looks so clean and balanced! :)

    I agree… I hate clutter. I would rather throw it away than find a place for it… :-)

    I love sushi! I tend to keep things, and have nowhere to put them. It always happens when I throw something away I need it the next day!

    I’m just like you! I have clutter and I’m constantly throwing things out, organizing everything, and cleaning my closet. It just feels so good : ) All your eats look so delicious!

    Yum, this all looks delicious…now I want waffles AND sushi…

    I like minimal kitchens/bathrooms, but I like some personality as well in my bedroom and living room with a few random things here and there. Let’s just say…I have a rolling rack of clothes in my bedroom…

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come over to my room and throw all my crapola-ola-ola away. Make sure to blindfold me while you do it. I don’t know what to do with all my stuff dating back to elementary school. YIKES! If anything, since flights from CA to VA are a bit steep — do you have any strategies!? I’m sure it’s second nature to you, but how do you part with your stuff??

      You are too funny, Allie. This is sort of a tough question to answer because honestly, the clean gene is just in my blood. My tidiness really started to come out in junior high (I liked cleaning/decorating our house!). One thing I do to minimize clutter is use what I have before buying more of the same thing, from items in my fridge to shampoo in my shower. I used to be attached to clothing, but not so much anymore. I enjoy bringing bags of my ‘old’ clothes to the used clothing store and making money off what they sell : ) I wish I had more unique tips – it’s certainly a lifestyle. Since you’re moving, now is the perfect time to de-clutter. Good luck! : )

    I am the same way with clutter…I can’t stand it. I also go through my closet weekly!

    Love your eats. Those waffles look delish topped with walnuts and banana – yum!

    not a fan of clutter either but I try to ignore it when it happens but then when I keep seeing it…I will go CRAZY and clean like a mad woman until it’s all gone!!!

    that edamame spread looks SO good!!!

    ahhh, kombucha is the best! there is a sign in my Whole Foods that it is currently not being sold because the alcohol content was mis-written on the label!?!? what’s up with that!

    I’m a minimalist in a lot of ways, especially dress. I’m not big on jewelry or accessories. I like clean cuts and no sparkles! With food though, I sometimes like to add more than just my minimalism would be satisfied with lol (:

    I would say I try to be a minamalist because I move every 4 months, so if I keep it I gotta carry it, but I’m also a shopaholic so I’m always bringing home new things that I probably don’t need ;) I do regular purges, though, and try to really be aware of what I do and don’t use so that anything I haven’t used in a while can get donated to to Goodwill and I don’t have to cart it around on my next move.

    I love that you eat chocolate chips from a dish like me! I can’t have them in the house very often though, because I find myself eating them straight from the bag lol.

    Also, I tried the Asian Pear Kombucha and have to say I wasn’t really a fan – did I just try a weird flavour? Which one would you reccommend as #1 to try? :)

      Hi Callie –
      Chocolate chips are my friend/enemy – they’re dangerous to have in my house ; )

      I have not tried the Asian Pear flavor. I have only actually had Kombucha Wonder Drink brand, Essence of Lemon & the can above (green tea + lemon). I liked them both, but kombucha is an acquired taste. Give it another shot!

      May I ask why you move every 4 months?

        I will give it another shot! And I move so often because I’m in a co-op program for school where I go to school for 4 months and then work for 4 months, then school for 4 months, and so on and so forth. My jobs could end up being anywhere, so I have to be ready to to move my life every 4 months :)

Instagram post 2188697053505017711_212296339 When you think of Beautycounter, 'small business' may not be the first thing that comes to mind.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A B Corporation founded in 2013 that offers more than 150 products, is an advocacy leader for clean beauty, and was the number one Googled beauty brand in 2018? Not so small.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But, the business I run is truly small. I wear many hats in my role not excluded to owner, mentor, consultant, customer service, accounting, marketing, and so on. I set my own personal goals and do what I can to work toward achieving them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While Beautycounter may be a loud voice in the beauty industry, I try to make the relationships with my clients sincere and personal. When you receive a follow-up email or thank you card or gift from me - those are written, purchased, planned, and sent by me. Much thought and many hours are put in behind the scenes.⁣⁣ 📬
⁣⁣
Not only is the majority of my work incredibly enjoyable, it is also entirely rewarding to be able to help you make the switch to safer and get safer products into your home.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Almost two years later, my Beautycounter business continues to grow - thanks to all of you. I am THANKFUL for this opportunity to be your consultant. Thank you for supporting my small business and the clean beauty movement!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💌 xo,⁣⁣

Instagram post 2183017690054888249_212296339 If you think I’m just selling lipstick, you’re not paying attention. 💄⁣
⁣
Swipe right to see how I feel when someone asks “So, what’s next?” (a.k.a. “When are you going to get a real job?”)⁣
⁣
You see, I don’t look at it like they may: switching from a wonderfully unique job in corporate wellness to “selling skincare and makeup”, working from home (or wherever I please). ⁣
⁣
Instead, I see how aligned my life and career path has been. I went from working for one incredible environmentally-conscious, family-owned company that puts people and the planet first while simultaneously creating a product that leads its craft industry (🍺) to another: a forward-thinking @bcorporation that is transparent about their sourcing/ingredients and advocates for social change while consciously creating personal care products that perform.⁣
⁣
By purchasing @beautycounter ’s beautiful products this holiday season (or any time of year), you’re doing more than gifting a gorgeous lip gloss or luxurious moisturizer. You are voting with your dollar for #cleanbeauty to be the norm; most importantly, you are showing that you give a damn about your health, the health of your loved ones, and the health of our planet.⁣
⁣
For me, it’s all about health — it always has been and always will be. ⁣

Instagram post 2181017522292059910_212296339 It’s been fun, Hyde Park. ⁣
⁣
As it turns out, staying in an itty bitty AirBNB for 6 weeks(!) while our floors got replaced wasn’t so bad after all. To be honest, I enjoyed the boujee South Tampa life much more than life in the suburbs. ⁣
⁣
I’ll miss walking to free community yoga classes in the village, neighborhood walks with Koba admiring the humongous, historic century old homes, treating myself to many @buddybrewcoffee matcha lattes just because, the 5 minute drive down Bayshore Boulevard to workout at the base gym, and more. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, most times, it does us justice to shake up our environment. Because what at first seemed like it’d be a headache turned out to be a blessing in disguise — the gift of feeling C A L M when “home base” was in a season of transition. ⁣
⁣
Thanks for a few of my favorite weeks in Florida,⁣
✌🏻HP

Instagram post 2169125642797255035_212296339 My first yoga class in almost ✌🏻years!⁣
⁣
Woke up early, had a cup of decaf, took Koba on a cool walk around the neighborhood, and then walked to @lululemon for their free Sunday morning yoga class. It was humbling to say the least.⁣
⁣
The sounds of the singing bowl while in savasana reminded me of my beloved classes with @lisaweberyoga and then strolling through the monthly farmer’s market afterwards... for a brief moment, I felt at home.

Instagram post 2168509648563100656_212296339 life update 〰️⁣
⁣
We’ve been temporarily out of our (rental) house since October 14 because the floors needed to be replaced. Nick’s been traveling a lot for work lately and Koba and I traveled to Colorado only to return to staying in an @airbnb for an unknown amount of time (of course a two week project is now looking closer to 4-5 weeks).⁣
⁣
We could be moving out of state soon, but that’s up in the air, too. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Needless to say, nothing really feels settled. Even though our house is completely gutted, most of our things are difficult to access, and I’m living out of my suitcase, Nick and I are oddly enough enjoying this AirBNB (appropriately named The Tree House) more than our home.⁣
⁣
While it is no bigger than a shoe box with a pint sized kitchen, we *feel better* here. Nestled in Old Hyde Park, I can walk the 3 blocks to my favorite local coffee shop for an iced oat milk matcha latte and window shop at @lululemon. Unlike the busy suburb in which we live, people are constantly outside walking their dogs, jogging, playing with their kids at the park, chatting with friends by the fountain. These little things all bring me a silly amount of joy.⁣
⁣
It’s often during times of change and uncertainty that I recognize the important things — the shit that matters. ⁣
⁣
I recognize my ability to be flexible when I am a homebody at heart. I recognize my longing for community and that small town, local vibe. I am grateful for my jobs that allow me to work from literally anywhere, and I feel really lucky to have Nick and Koba by my side. One day, sooner than later, we will look back and laugh at these Florida memories. 🌴⁣
