Weekending with Mom

October 20, 2013 by Hillary 12 Comments

Being a tourist in New York City must have gotten to me because when my mom visited for our annual autumn mother-daughter weekend, I had my camera on hand at all times. It really couldn’t have been a better fall weekend. Mom-and-me time is my favorite.

 << Friday Night >>

flatbread

wine

mom

mushroom bruschetta // persimmon pomegranate salad // apple arugula flatbread (not so good) // Mama’s New Zealand vino 

My mom rolled into town right when I got off work (TGIF!); we both needed to stretch our legs, so a short walk was in order before trying a new restaurant on the opposite side of town: Wine Time. Note: I haven’t acquired a taste for wine (gasp!), but I was curious about their food menu. Our small plate choices had potential, but were sub-par to my standards (a.k.a. flour-y, dry flatbread).

Our lighter dinner left us room for a stop at one of my favorite ice cream shops for seasonal pumpkin ice cream – yum.

<< Saturday >>

market

grub

lettuce

fruit

chai

toes

salad

canyon

paradise

dinner

blue skies and crisp leaves at the FM // fresh greens // CA grown // Chico Chai // pedicures // lunchtime salads // canyon ridge near Paradise // healthy, comfort food: Butternut Squash, White Bean, and Kale Ragout over polenta 

We didn’t waste any time on Saturday. We were up and out of bed by 7:00am. I whipped up a couple of bowls of creamy steel cut oats to fuel us through our morning… and the rest of our sun-filled, delicious day!

<< Sunday >>

walk

leaves

pancakes

yum

okra

gourd

wagon

smile

hayride

brisk early morning walk through Bidwell Park // homemade pumpkin (pecan) pancakes // traditional trip to the pumpkin patch + my “knuckle head” pumpkin 

Sunday got an even earlier start, as we had some shopping to squeeze in, too ;)

That’s a wrap. Time for bed. See you soon!

    What a fun mom/daughter weekend. I absolutely love when my mom comes to visit. I feel like we don’t have enough time to fit all of our talking in. Lots of walks and trips to farmers’ markets!

    Looks like a gorgeous weekend! You are so cute sitting with the pumpkin! :)
    I can’t believe you haven’t acquired a taste for wine. Seriously, I’m at a loss for words. ;)

    What a fun weekend. I love spending time with my mom and am so excited to do the same this weekend. You look so happy :)

    How you don’t like wine though is beyond me… ;)

    Such cute photos!

    Too bad the restaurant wasn’t better…I’m surprised you don’t like wine! Hey, I guess it saves you money! Sometimes I wish I didn’t love beer & wine so much to save money, but then I remember it’s worth it. Haha.

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,⁣
✌🏻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. 🌴⁣
