IG: YES! Part 1 of the hemlock raised bed Jeff designed and built for me is IN! We have massive squirrel and raccoon issues where we are, it feels like everything I plant gets dug up or like just disappears for fun ?, so this baby is gonna have a pest-proof enclosed top. To put the size into perspective, there’s about 6’3″ of a man in there. It started to pour while digging/building it so he’s soaked, but he kept going, obviiii ??????. I am SOOOOOO EXCITED TO PLANT MY VEGGIES IN THIS! It is BEAUTIFUL. And I am so grateful for this man who supports my passion and my dreams. P.s. Ok this is way nicer than my DIY shelf raised bed butttttt that still works too lol

IG: I took this photo 2 years ago while hanging out with my mom at her community garden plot in Twinsberg, Ohio. The garden was her blissful, happy place, and she was so amazingly talented at growing organically (just LOOK this, it’s incredible), and really committed to feeding the soil. My greatest inspiration, I truly believe she is somewhere very similar to this right now ??

IG: Put in my girl @saidailaqua’s organic kale, Swiss chard and edible flower patch using the seedlings I lovingly sprouted from seed over the last couple months. We gots Blue Scotch Curled Kale, Vates Curled Kale, Lacinato Kale, Ruby Red Swiss Chard, Nasturtiums, Cream and Yellow French Marigolds, and Zinnias. They’re tiny now, but I can’t wait until the weather warms up and everything starts to explode with growth! She’s gonna have a lifetime kale supply

IG: CHOWING down on this delicious fat bomb right now… in fact, I actually need to remind myself to chew becuase it’s THAT tasty. You can’t see it that well, because I stacked sunflower sprouts on top, but I just got home from my workout and in a state of starvingness, threw together my quick avocado leftover chicken salad (aka fat bomb) with last night’s leftover chicken. Your turn. Combine: •about 1/2 cup organic leftover chicken •1/2 avocado, cubed •1 tsp whole grain mustard (the clean kind) •1 green onion, chopped •1 Tbsp @chosenfoods Avocado oil mayo •Himalayan salt & freshly ground pepper to taste Then shazam it into some lettuce and maybe finagle some organic sprouts on top and you’ve got the most delicious, fat-packed, easy-as-pie lunch. (This amount makes 2 lettuce wraps and feeds one hungry lady). Excuse me while I attempt to chew

IG: Took last Friday night to re-do my vision board. Vision boards are magical for manifesting your dreams, goals and intentions. Right now this board represents what is most important to me: family, friends, outdoors, love, gardening/growing/cultivating, adventure, great food, balance, staying grateful, being true to myself and my values and living as simply as possible ????. It sits on my desk so I am constantly looking at it and it subconsciously radiates into my soul whenever I sit here. If you’re a visual person like me (and a lot of the population), this is a wonderful tool to make your dreams a reality

We used romaine lettuce + shredded carrot + homemade purple sauerkraut + organic raw nori + sliced avocado + bacon + hemp hearts and a lemony-hemp/evoo dressing. Killllllllled ittttttt! P.s.

IG: It may be rainmaggedon, gloomy and cold AF in Toronto ???but at least my hair is glowing… Brief side story: I’ve been terrified to do anything to my hair besides having it cut ever since I TOTALLY ruined it with permanent darker drugstore box dye at age 16 and cried for weeks… but I decided, 13 years later, that it’s time to get over that fear. Keeping with my super natural and low maintenance style, the hella-talented @sara.m.cr brightened up my virgin hair ever so slightly, hand painting a super subtle, gentle, dimension-adding balayage that will not require maintenance. You probably wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t told you, and that’s exactly how I wanted it…still sooo natural. It feels like me, just a touch enhanced! Sara, you are a master

IG: Gardener hands ???… I wear gloves a lot to avoid totally destroying my hands but there are some tasks that just require bare hands. I had this one rather “doom and gloom” teacher during my Holistic Nutrition schooling, that was adamant that we always wear gloves while gardening and never actually touch soil with our bare hands because we could contract parasites and other nastiest from the soil (honestly, she was parasite paranoid…). But FYI there are parasites everywhere, and I never agreed with avoiding soil. Humans have been in contact with raw, bare earth since the beginning of time. Sure, the soil isn’t the same high quality it used to be, but I still think you need to get dirty AF sometimes. And I think too many of us have zero contact with soil, dirt, and the earth from which we came, and which we will one day go back to. What are your thoughts??
