happy 60th year, dad.

February 19, 2011 by Hillary 18 Comments

Today is a special day… someone’s turning sixty.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

I got my love for peanut butter from my dad; we share the PB-loving gene, along with the clean car-loving gene, and just a few other things ;)

In honor of you, I made a batch of peanut butter cookies yesterday. However, your poor college student of a daughter is too cheap to send them to you in the mail. It’s the thought that counts, right?

Salted Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe Inspiration: Brown Eyed Baker

  • 1 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 c. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 c. crunchy salted peanut butter
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 c. light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 c. rolled oats
  • 1 c. bittersweet chocolate chips
  • flaked sea salt 

Whisk together the flour and baking soda – set aside.

Mix together the butter, peanut butter, sugars and vanilla. Add the egg and beat to combine. Gradually add the flour until just combined. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.

Chill dough in fridge for ~20 minutes.

Roll dough into balls – 2T each – and place on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt if desired. Bake for 10 minutes @ 350*. Cool completely on the baking sheet.

My roommate just remarked, “You’re sitting there with your container of cookies and Dove chocolates.”

Working at my computer with chocolate by my side… yep, pretty typical ;)

Busy night ahead of me.

See you soon!

Hill

    Sea salt & chocolate are the perfect combo! I won a jar of dark chocolate caramel sea salt sauce for Christmas from a gift exchange, it is heaven. I loved your post on Carrots ‘n’ Cake today, and I really need to learn to love the dreadmill!

⁣
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.
