It’s been 2 years since the last post on my feed. In that time there was a pandemic, I dyed my hair blue and then brown, and my best friend moved across the country but I got to meet her precious new child first.

I found a lone wet kitten at 5am in a bush outside my front door (it was a dream come true). I got a new job that got me onto the Oscars red carpet (the most stress I’ve ever felt). I started working with a personal trainer to get my ass back on track (literally).

I prioritized sleep and I learned how to bake sourdough. I got several plants that I haven’t yet killed. I got a melanoma excised. But best of all, I got married on a day that can only be described as perfect.

Tomorrow I turn 32 and I’ll get to spend the week surrounded by loved ones because spooky season always keeps me busy this time of year. Happy Scorpio season, y’all!

Cheers to 30. 🎉🎂

This morning, I walked into this note slipped under our door at work.

To the person who wrote this note:

I’m sorry that my company has chosen to close early to enable staff to safely get home during curfews and protests. I’m sorry that they want every employee to be able to participate in the revolution that is going on in our country right now. I’m sorry that you feel so entitled that you felt the need to write this note to make us feel bad. I’m sorry that we ruined your day. But really? Give me a damn break.

As you might have noticed from my stories, this week I did a plant based food cleanse from and holy moly am I impressed with the quality and flavor of literally everything I consumed. 😋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I got a lot of comments about how good the food looked, so I wanted to go into more detail about the cleanse in case you’re interested in checking it out! If you’re in OC, you can use my code - LAUREN15 - for 15% off!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cleanse is vegan, gluten-free, and packaged in biodegradable plant based containers and recyclable glass bottles. They recommend eating within an 8 hour window to practice intermittent fasting, so that’s what I did. I noticed that eating dinner earlier in the day really helped me sleep easier and made it so that I didn’t wake up bloated the next day. The meals were all very filling and honestly just left me feeling freakin’ GOOD. The convenience factor was huge for me. It was easy to transport and easy to eat. If you’re looking for a way to jump start a weight loss program, this is a HEALTHY way to do that! I’m fortunate to not struggle with my weight but I really saw the benefits in improved digestion and elimination. I will 100% be doing this again!

Happy Easter! Last night I whipped up this paleo spiced sweet potato bread and it is LEGIT. I’m trying to bake one new recipe a week now that I have more free time and it is going shockingly well. 😂 Let me know if you’re interested in the recipe and I’ll post it on stories! I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday and staying safe at home! ✌🏼 @ Orange, California

My favorite thing about working later in the day is cultivating a morning ritual. I think rituals and routines can be so important during this time to create a sense of normalcy. Obviously coffee is a huge part of mine. Today, I tried for the first time and I got it from .coffee. Would definitely recommend both the coffee and the cafe. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week! 💛 What rituals and routines are you cultivating with your extra time?

The world is falling apart, but I got some long awaited good news today. After a great PET scan result, my boyfriend is done with chemo and is cleared to move on to radiation! Despite our society crumbling around us, I’m happy to celebrate this win, because it’s huge! 🎉 How we will be celebrating - staying home, playing games on zoom with friends, and drinking a delicious barrel aged stout. I wouldn’t have it any other way. ✌🏼

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program... wash your hands, stay 6 ft apart from others, and don’t be an as***le. I know 2 people currently diagnosed with COVID-19 and it’s no joke. Please, please, please observe all CDC recommendations, if not for yourself, then for others in compromised populations. As a world we need to rise up and come together; we can still start this decade off strong. Stay safe, friends! ✌🏼😷

This guy HAD to have the spotlight when I was snapping pics of my new zero waste cleaning supplies! 😹 I’ve had the chance to use their stuff for a month now, and honestly can say I love every item. The dish soap smells heavenly and breaks down grease. The hand soap is boyfriend approved. 👍🏼 I am loving the laundry detergent tablets and the all purpose spray is tops. I also just got my first refill pack and love that the packaging is 100% recyclable! I’ve been trying to reduce my plastic usage and it’s freakin’ hard. But I’m doing what I can, and that’s what matters. ✌🏼

I’m keeping it simple and real today. I’m extremely sleep deprived from the last two days of cat medical emergencies and the last few weeks have been just... a lot. I have a tendency to take care of others instead of myself. This is your friendly reminder to put your own oxygen mask on first. It really doesn’t take much to make a nourishing meal like this. Even if you can only do it for one meal a day, it’s worth it. I’m working on incorporating simple and easy (and low/no cost) practices into my daily routine. I’ll share more here as I find what does and doesn’t work for me! ✌🏼

Saturday mornings call for donuts. I dropped by this morning and tried out . A mango smile for my boyfriend and a vegan toasted coconut for me. Yes, it’s not exactly “healthy” but I don’t believe in being perfect. There was a time when I would have gone through an internal struggle of guilt and shame for eating all that gluten and sugar. Not today. Not now. I ate it and enjoyed it and that was that. I eat extremely clean most of the time and that’s enough for me. ✌🏼

It’s Taco Tuesday ya’ll. Every week, my boyfriend and I get 99 cent tacos from the local bodega, but I’m throwing it back to last week when I checked out the Taco Tuesday menu. These nachos are straight 🔥🔥🔥. For all my OC peeps, what are some other great spots to eat on this special day? 🌮

Here I am on this summer solstice. Let me paint you a picture - coconut oil in my hair, chai latte in my cup, and netflix on the TV. I slept in late, I haven’t left my house, and I...am...loving it. Just a month ago I was still in a job where my stress level was through the roof and it had started to manifest into physical symptoms. I was emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained 24/7. I had no motivation to work out, eat well, or pursue my passions. And then I quit. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I realized what I already knew - that my health is more important than any job ever could be. I want you to know that I ate hot cheetos and ice cream every night for a week. I want you to know that I stayed up late watching Netflix even when I knew I had to be up early the next morning. I want you to know that I didn’t do any yoga - like, at all. I also want you to know that it’s all ok. It’s not the end of the world and every moment is a chance to start over. I want you to know it’s ok to fall off the wagon - you can always get right back on.
