Visions for 2018
All you need for a Saturday morning... good coffee, good people, beautiful weather + outdoor adventures on the schedule. โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ›ถ What fun things do you have planned this summer??
Mornings, lately โœจ coffee, prayer journal, devotional. These quiet early morning moments are my lifeline before the noise of the day begins. โœจ Even if itโ€™s only 20 minutes to journal a prayer + quiet my mind with a scripture, this time allows me to embrace whatever the day holds. โœจ Do you have a morning routine? Iโ€™d love to hear it!
Pina Colada Green Smoothie ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฅฅ Iโ€™ve been mixing up this tropical, nutrient filled smoothie on repeat lately, especially since protein + pregnancy donโ€™t mix for me. ๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ This is great post-workout (hey fellow #tiubikiniseries babes!) or for extra nutrients! Recipe below: ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฅฅ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € + Handful frozen fruit mix - papaya, pineapple, mango, coconut (found at Walmart of all places!) + Large handful organic kale or spinach + 2 scoops Balance Complete from @younglivingeo or vanilla protein powder of choice + 2tsp organic coconut oil + Ice and unsweetened almond milk to desired consistency Blend well + enjoy! Itโ€™s a nice break from our chocolate mint and my little one loves it too ๐Ÿ˜
Started the day off with a #tiubootycall, pina colada smoothie + a shower with this luxurious mint face scrub ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ˜ Iโ€™ll count that as a win. Also sharing about fitness + pregnancy in my stories today!! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿผ
Motherโ€™s Day scene ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿšฒ We had one of those weekends where you donโ€™t put on makeup + just soak in the goodness around you. It was exactly what I needed. + Motherโ€™s Day can be many things - joyful, painful, grief filled, confusing. So today I send love to each of you wherever you are on your journey. + If youโ€™re walking a road of grief, loss, hurt, frustration I SEE you, I will walk along side you, and I will tell you a million times how beautiful and strong you are my sister. + If youโ€™re walking a road of joy, expectancy, anticipation, I SEE you, I will walk along side you, and I will tell you a million times how beautiful and strong you are my sister. + Let us love each other and lift one another up in kindness, encouragement and solidarity. #womenhelpingwomen
Slept in and had coffe brought to me in bed ๐Ÿ˜โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป Happy weekend indeed! Slept soooo well with this combo in the diffuser. Lavender is in the starter kit + both vetiver and cedarwood are under $20! #winning
