I've got a new video up for ya, matcha lovers! 🍵 Check out the link in bio to see my morning matcha ritual, how I make it, and what it means to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every morning for the past few years, I wake up looking forward to drinking matcha. It's become such a ritual for me, and by carving out this time in the mornings to make my matcha + set an intention, I've created a consistent daily practice that just feels really good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Morning rituals don't have to be complicated. If you can make space for that one thing that makes you feel 💯, you might notice how that one simple act can set the tone for your day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. Thank you to everyone who sold out our limited release of @thehomebodiesco matcha bowls + mugs in literally 5 minutes. 🤩We will be doing mini-releases on Fridays this month, but ya gotta be on The Homebodies email list - we announce it there first... and we didn't even have a chance to share it on the 'gram before we sold out. Thank you SO much for supporting our small biz + our fave ATX ceramicist @longacreceramics! We appreciate your excitement, support, and patience as we restock and manage our small-batch operations! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #TheHomebodies #FeelGoodSpaces #omandthecity #kitcheninspo #modernkitchen #minimalisthome #makehomeyours

Makin’ changes in the kitchen... I've been wanting to change the color of our island for a while now. I’ve tinkered around with painting it sage, taupe, white, or simply just repainting it the same blue. You can’t really tell in photos, but up close the blue has a really streaky cloudy finish that just won’t go away. Well, today we’ve finally decided to paint in *white* to match our cabinet. I'll be working in more grounding earthy tones in our kitchen to balance out all of the white. 🍂🌱 We just got some new barstools for my bday (😭thank you mama) that will be a nice anchor. I'm looking forward to the change with a color that will not go outta style. ~ Alright, now who's ready to watch the debate tonight? 🍿😶 ~ #kitcheninspo #kitchendesign #minimalisthome #clutterfree #tidyhome

Can never not handstand in between perfectly distanced beams 🤸🏻‍♀️ Today, I'm gettin' ze ducks in a row for a work sprint. Busy weeks ebb and flow, but thanks to flexin' my *boundaries*, I refuse to live in a perpetual state of busy. Burnout ain't cute and being busy doesn't necessarily mean more gets done or that you'll find more "success". Sometimes it just means you don't know how to say no. Or perhaps, maybe you are feelin' successful being busy all the time, but at what expense? Questions to ask yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While the to-do list will keep growing, I like to experiment with tech tools, apps, boundaries, and routines to find my grooviest flow state. You know.... the feeling you get when you're deep in the pocket, on a roll, and that focus is unbreakable? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I nerd out on this stuff, because I'd rather spend less time spinning my wheels feeling overwhelmed and more time gettin' the impactful shiz done. That way, I can power down work at the end of the day and go live my dang life with the people (and doggos) I love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #simplifyandthrive #simplifyyourlife #efficient #essentialism #omandthecity #mindfullifestyle

This was our first time spending the night away from our dogs & away from home since March! We felt safe and spent most of our time outdoors. We visited the farm, rode horses, met chickens, threw hatchets, swam, hiked, and journaled lots. Thank you, @miravalresorts, for a much needed change of scenery... we were only 30 minutes away but it felt like a little mini moon. ✨ Ready to head home, cuddle our dogs, water our thirsty plants, and hit the ground running on Monday! I left a little code for ya in my stories if anyone else is itching to visit this beautiful place. #miravalaustin #weekendgetaway #atxblogger #austintx

Ringing in my 29th year with beautiful and sweet Miss Pepper! 🐎 I’m having the best birthday weekend at @miravalresorts in Austin with my hubs 🌵We spent my bday here last year, and it’s always such an immersive and reflective experience. Thank you to everyone for all the kind birthday wishes! I feel very grateful to be alive, well, and here in nature. Love to all of you wonderful humans. 💕 #omandthecity #miravalaustin

It’s not quite jacket weather in Austin just yet, so I’m really soaking up these final days before we drift into cooler temps. Really love this look by @athleta - their Brooklyn Wide Leg Crop Pants are my jam, and I will definitely be adding these to my fall/winter capsule wardrobe as I switch over my summer closet. #AthletaPartner #powerofshe #casualstylr #bcorp

Omg i can’t believe it, but my husband surprised me with a variegated monstera clipping for my birthday!!! 🥳😭 he bought it from a gal based in Portland, and this was my reaction. 😂 I love my plants, but I’ve never cried over a plant before. It was partially because I was shocked he even thought to get me one. Love you, babe thank you so much!!!! I hope to GOD I don’t kill this plant. The pressure is on. 😅 #variegatedplants #variegatedmonstera #rarehouseplants

Y'all gettin' ready to roll up to the polls? Today is National Voter Registration Day. Make your voice heard and cast a vote for the future you want to live in. When I think of where I stand on key issues, I imagine the kind of future I want to live in and the kind of future that my kid and younger generations will inherit when I'm no longer on this planet. While some women were given the right to vote 100 years ago, that didn't include women of color. We've come a long way, but it wasn't that long ago. So, use your voice. Your voice matters. As the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg wisely said, "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Together we stand. #PowerOfShe #AthletaPartner #nationalvoterregistrationday

You can also swap this out for overnight oats if ya prefer! ~ #matchagreentea #matchachiapudding #glutenfreeeats #guthealthy #happygut #matchalovers #omandthecity #wellnessblogger #atxblogger

This post is a shoutout to @Biossance, one of THE cleanest beauty brands out there. I've been partnering with Biossance on longterm projects this past year, because they align with my high standards and values to a freakin' T, and it's a relationship I deeply cherish. Their dedication to making a positive impact on the world through science and sustainability is not only inspiring to me, but hopefully, it's motivating to other companies to raise their standards too. ~ #Biossance is clinically-proven/backed by science, yet they blacklist 2000 potentially harmful ingredients while the US has only banned 13. Yep. Come on now. 🙄 ~ I've been using the Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil since July of last year, and it's a staple that I consider an investment in my skin's moisture and elasticity for years down the road. My momma has been using it too (every day for 1+ year), and she says her skin is noticeably brighter and wrinkles have softened. The hero ingredient, Squalane, found in all Biossance products is sustainably harvested from renewable sugarcane. We also love the Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum, which has Bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol. Unlike traditional retinols that cause sensitivity especially in sunlight, this serum can be worn during the day too. ~ Check them out and take advantage of the free samples they offer on their site. A little goes a long way. #NoCompromiseBeauty #BiossancePartner ~ #cleanbeauty #cleanbeautyrevolution #sustainableliving #simplifyyourlife #mindfulliving #greenbeautyblogger #nontoxicbeauty #nontoxicliving
