🎓 Exciting news! I just reserved my motel for graduation weekend in Portland, Oregon! It’s only 12 minutes from the college, so the plan is super convenient—easy trips to campus and back. 🏨✨

I also spoke with the school about registration and attending graduation, and we chatted about the open house and the botanical walk happening the day before. They’re hoping to have all the details out by the end of this month, so we’ll know exactly how to plan soon. 🌿📚

Booking my room feels so real—it’s $116, payable at the hotel, and I can cancel up until a day before. I’m beyond excited because I never thought I’d graduate, and even more amazing… I got all A’s, will be graduating with honors, and I’ve been invited to apply for the DET program! 🥳 Such a blessing and honor.

As of now, my son’s grandparents are supposed to attend with him, but his grandma just had surgery, so it’s a little up in the air. To make sure someone can be there with him, I’ve lined up a backup plan to the backup plan to the backup plan 😅—I’ve asked a long-term friend and her husband, and also my friend Sue. I need at least one more person to fill the other ticket out of the three, and I’m manifesting that I can get two people to fill all three tickets—it’d be awesome to have three witnesses: my son and the other two guests, but at least get two of the tickets covered.

Here’s to celebrating hard work, perseverance, and exciting milestones. Graduation is happening! 💖

Today feels so surreal… I officially ordered my cap & gown for graduation in June 🎓✨

I honestly can’t believe how close I am. In about 3 weeks, I’ll be finishing this portion of my classes, with my final exam on April 19th… then a two-week break before I begin the final semester of my Aromatherapy Diploma program.

There was a time in my life where I truly never thought I would go back to college… let alone graduate. And now here I am, stepping into something that aligns so deeply with my purpose, my healing journey, and the work I’m creating through Nourish with Nature 🌿

This has been more than just school for me — it’s been transformation, growth, and stepping into who I’m meant to be.

And the timing couldn’t be more perfect… I’ll be taking my graduation photos in just a few weeks out in nature (which feels so aligned with everything I love), and I’m SO excited to capture this moment 🌻✨

June is right around the corner, and I’m just feeling incredibly grateful, proud, and honestly a little emotional.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, believed in me, and followed along on this journey — this is just the beginning 🤍

Man I love spring for the simple fact that I know summer is not far behind and the days get longer and warmer! No more depression!

How did Yall celebrate spring equinox?

Kiddo had therapy, then I had to go to court, then I went to instacart…

After that, we came home grabbed our empty propane tank and we went and swapped it and I mad BBQ chicken, mashed taters and gravy, squash and Brussels sprouts. What a delightful way to end a semi crappy day…

On that note. I did not get to doing the cinnamon ritual on the first of the month so what better way than to do it on the first day of spring and mercury coming out of retrograde. I actually loved that the sun came out. Check out the photos of the sun with such a beautiful aura (rainbow) above it!

I received this email today and just WOW! I never thought I could truly be where I am today!

Even though I’ve had some life stuff happening lately it’s so awesome to have the highest of high honors happening!

🍀✨ St. Patrick’s Day, Corney History, & Healing in Green ✨🍀

Most of us think of St. Patrick’s Day as just shamrocks, parades, and corned beef and cabbage—but the real story is richer and deeper. St. Patrick himself was actually taken as a slave in Ireland, and his life story is about resilience, faith, and returning to share healing with others.

So why corned beef and cabbage? Well, that tradition actually came later in Irish-American history. Many Irish immigrants in the U.S. substituted corned beef for pork (which was more expensive), and cabbage was abundant, making it a practical and symbolic meal that represents coming together, community, and nourishment.

Today, I decided to add an extra layer of intention to my St. Patrick’s Day meal by cooking with essential oils that support both flavor and wellness:

🌿 Marjoram – soothing, calming, supports digestive health, and opens the heart chakra.
🌿 Oregano – powerful antioxidant, supports immune health, and helps clear stagnant energy.
🌿 Spanish Sage – promotes clarity, purification, and emotional balance.
🌿 Coriander – supports digestion, balances emotions, and inspires creativity.

What’s funny is I just noticed—they’re all green! 🍃 Green is the color of the heart, balance, growth, and vitality. Using these oils in my corned beef and cabbage wasn’t just about flavor—it’s about creating a heart-centered meal, connecting tradition, wellness, and intention.

So today, as we celebrate, I’m honoring history, nourishing my body, and celebrating resilience—with a little luck of the Irish sprinkled in. 💚

“My magic is guided by love, protected by luck, and expressed through my actions.” ✨🐞🧚‍♀️

I’ve been taking a much needed break from social media as I have been extremely burnt out… over the coming weeks I’ll slowly integrate posting again…

For now I want to share a fun business conversation I had a few days ago that led to an awesome phone call last night!

As some of you know I instacart until I get my business to where I want it to be, there is a super cool guy at one of the gas stations I go to while making money…

We got to talking about allergies and it led to me talking about my products. Long story short he called me tonight to chat and ask more questions and I might have just made a new potential customer alongside a very new cool friend!

After some crazy life happenings recently it’s nice to have a positive experience!

I’ve been a business owner for almost nine years, and about two years ago I truly began growing and expanding it in new ways. Almost a year ago, I would have never imagined continuing to build my business while going back to school, homeschooling my son, and even Instacarting to make it all possible.

This season has stretched me in ways I didn’t expect — but it has also been such a blessing. 🌿✨

I’m incredibly honored (and honestly a little emotional) to share that I’ve been nominated for the 2026 DEAC Outstanding Graduate Award. After making the Dean’s List in the fall and currently maintaining straight A’s this spring (including A+ work), this recognition feels especially meaningful.

This journey through aromatherapy school has strengthened my purpose and deepened my commitment to serving families through natural wellness.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and believed in the mission of Nourish with Nature — this milestone truly belongs to all of us. 💛

✨ Finally sharing this beautiful new artwork ✨

I got this fairy tattooed on my right hand — teal and red, full of life and intention. I wasn’t able to capture her the way I wanted, but my son did — and that makes it even more special. 🤍

Spiritually, fairies represent magic, intuition, connection to nature, and the unseen realms. They remind us that there’s power in believing, in creating, and in honoring the subtle energies around us.

The teal represents healing, truth, and heart-centered communication.
The red represents passion, life force, and grounded strength.

What makes her even more meaningful is the direction she’s flying. She’s flying outward — toward my feather tattoo on my left hand (almost two years old now).

Feathers symbolize messages from spirit, protection, and divine guidance. So to me, she’s flying toward guidance. Toward higher wisdom. Toward trust.

She’s also flying in the direction of my 444 — a number that represents protection, stability, and angelic support.

To me, this piece represents movement. Alignment. Expansion.
Magic moving toward guidance.
Passion grounded in protection.

Sometimes the art we wear isn’t decoration — it’s a reminder of who we are becoming. 🧚‍♀️✨
