Rain, Roots & [Sushi] Rolls

November 26, 2010 by Hillary 11 Comments

I really don’t know where the week went. It seems as though it was just yesterday that I was eating a much-anticipated sushi dinner with my dad. I can almost taste it still. Ohhh… maybe it’s because I had sushi for dinner with the parentals again as my last supper in town. I probably could have gone without dinner tonight – I woke up unfortunately full this a.m. – but after months sans sushi, I had to get my fix.

Sushi is so photogenic… when you have adequate light, that is.

My last full day at home:

I started my day by burning off a couple forkfuls of decadent chocolate pecan pie with 1 hour of DanceFit at my old dance studio. I followed it up with a mid-morning bowl of oatmeal. I have issues skipping meals even when I’m not that hungry =/ Then I had plans to go out to Redwood Roots Farm with my aunt and uncle to pick vegetables courtesy of their CSA membership. I remember my trip to the farm last year well – don’t you? It started to sprinkle just as we started picking, but that didn’t phase us seasoned Humboldtans. I came home a little damp, a little dirty, and very grateful for my brimming bucket of produce – leeks, lettuce, potatoes, and more.

The rest of my day consisted of studying for my physiology lab exam while drinking Candy Cane Lane tea and eating leftover pumpkin pie.

Then at 21 years young, I learned how to sew on a button using a needle and thread. Better late than never, right? Reason #693 why I am thankful for my mom.

As I lay here in my bed, surrounded by my cheery buttercup yellow-painted walls and the soothing sound of rain outside my windows, I find myself not nearly ready to leave home. I feel like I barely made a dent in all that I had hoped to do during my “break” – well, what’s new.

I’d love to stay forever and ever, but I have to tend to my responsibilities at school. I can only be thankful for what I was able to do.

I’ll leave tomorrow as I came – in the rain – with an appreciative heart and a belly a bit more full.

See ya from my stop in Sonoma…

Hill

    Two sushi posts in one week has me craving it something fierce!

    Somehow that sentence seems off to me. Aside from the fact that it isn’t grammatically correct, I probably used the phrase wrong. But those were the words that flew out of my fingers.

    I digress.

    That looks yummy! Safe travels back to school! The semester is almost over, so cheer up buttercup!

    I have the hardest time skipping meals when I’m not hungry too – I have this inner battle with myself “What if you DO get hungry and you CAN’T eat!?” :)

    Hey, Hillary!
    I bet leaving home is really the hardest thing.
    But, remember – it’s almost Christmas!

    There is nothing wrong with sushi overload! I did not get ANY school work done. Family comes first!

    I stayed at my mom’s house Wedn and Thur night to do Thanksgiving; it was so weird being in my old room… I felt like I was 12 all over again!

    Oh, I’m 30 and still don’t know how to use a needle and thread ;)

    I feel weird if I skip meals too. The only one I can get by skipping is lunch – and that’s only if I have a late breakfast and then either graze or have a snack.

Instagram post 2196759891750447285_212296339 The countdown is on...⁣
⁣
It’s really happening, we’re leaving Florida for good! 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
3 weeks from today. January 1, 2020. 🍾⁣
⁣
How am I feeling? Overwhelmed, excited, overwhelmed, excited... 🥴⁣
⁣
So much to do, so little time. 📦⁣
⁣
The next few weeks will be semi-chaotic (can’t forget Christmas in there, too!)... moving clear across the country (again) — now that’s a way to start a new decade with a bang! 🚙 🐾🏡⁣

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,⁣⁣

⁣
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,⁣

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.
