Virtual Summer Coffee Date

June 30, 2017 by Hillary 3 Comments

Hey there and happy Friday before a long weekend (hello four days off)! I broke out my Toddy cold brew coffee maker this week and made a batch of strong (decaf) cold brew coffee for the first time in ages. It’s been hibernating in the back of my cupboard, but this summer heat has me craving all the icy cold beverages. Since I haven’t blogged nearly at all in 2017, there is oh so much we could catch up on. However, hopefully you’re itching to get your long weekend started (I know I am), so we’ll keep this virtual coffee date brief..

If we were having coffee this afternoon, I’d say that I am looking forward to a semi-spontaneous camping trip this weekend. Hiking, SUP-ing, swimming, campfires and sunshine — yes please!

If we were having coffee this afternoon, I’d give you update on my gut health. Since (finally!) being diagnosed with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) this spring, I’ve fully dedicated myself to healing my gut. It’s been a long, tedious process; but, I am feeling better which makes me hopeful and motivated after struggling with with a multitude of symptoms the past couple of years.

If we were having coffee this afternoon, I’d tell you that I am eager to see Thank You for Your Service. If you would have said let’s watch a military movie a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn’t have been too interested; now that it’s a piece of my life, I’m tuned in.

If we were having coffee this afternoon, I’d probably talk about how freaking real Saturn Returns is (I’m a believer — keep reading…), and ask if you’ve experienced it in your life? My late twenties are making those terrible teen years look darn good.

  • The Skinny on Saturn Returns: What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger

If we were having coffee this afternoon, I’d disclose with the utmost vulnerability that I’m no longer engaged. In this rocky chapter of change and transition, I am choosing joy, gratitude, and to not be afraid of this new path that lies ahead of me.

If we were having coffee this afternoon, I’d share photos from my recent family vacation to Kauai. There’s something about tropical air and sea salt in your hair that soothes the soul.

Have a safe & happy 4th of July!

xo Hill

    I’m so excited you’re back to blogging! It just popped up on my Facebook that I posted pics of you three years ago! I can’t believe how fast time is flying. I wish we could do that again.

    I’m sorry you’re going through so much change and transition right now. I feel like I can relate to this so much. A few years ago (when I met you in Cali actually! ha), I’m pretty sure that was my “Saturn Returns” year(s). I don’t have much advice other than to keep putting one foot in front of the other, find joy in the little things (which it sounds like you’re doing!), and know that it won’t last forever (even though it feels like it will when you’re in it!). I look back and am thankful I went through all of it. But man! It is so not easy. At the time, I told myself that I would rather go through it now and learn the hard lessons that I had to learn in my twenties than later. Maybe that perspective/way of thinking might help you too?

      Thank you, Caroline!! xx

      And yes, oh my word, how was that THREE years ago already!? If I was consistently blogging/coaching, I would most definitely need to update my headshots. Had so much fun with you that June day in SF :)

    Your long weekend camping plans sound fabulous – Hope that you’re having a great time! Your Hawaii trip pics kept popping up on my Instagram and it looked like such an amazing trip! Props to you for choosing joy & gratitude in this challenging time in your life. You’ll come out on the other side a stronger, happier woman :)

⁣
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,⁣

⁣
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.
