My happy place is in nature...even just in some tall grass in an open field. The simple things can often bring you the most joy 🌾

loved stumbling across @localrootsfarmstand today! honor system style stand and everything was delicious, fresh, and amazing. they also had a u-pick flowers that was absolutely beautiful. thank you @localrootsfarm for having this for the community 💚 #supportlocalfarmers #eatlocal #ilovefarms

i like best when you’re fresh faced and no foundation, willing and ready for the taking...me too, drake, me too ✨

DISASTER SCONES:

Baking is one of my favorite ways to express creativity. I rarely follow recipes and it’s always an adventure, it’s an expression of myself. I love loosing myself in the kitchen, cause it actually helps you find yourself in some ways. These scones took me on quite the journey, from forgetting ingredients to getting my measurements wrong and researching correct substitutes, I was convinced they were going to turn out terrible. But to my surprise they are actually quite tasty! •

Experiences like this teach you there is beauty (and deliciousness ☺️) in the imperfect. The anxiety of it not turning out in the most perfect beautiful way is so silly. It’ll turn out how it’s supposed to, and it’ll be a wonderful creation and reflection of yourself. I guess this goes beyond the kitchen too 😉 •

Anywayyyy...I put the recipe in my story so check it out and let me know if you recreate or edit the recipe! I’ve enjoyed eating them with my blackberry lavender honey, blueberry lavender jam, and just plain 🤗 •
Fun side note: I picked the lavender from a sidewalk in upper Queen Anne and the blueberries I got at @queenannefarmersmarket from @haytonfarms. Love using local ingredients whenever possible 😊

reaching for the weekend like..........🙋🏽‍♀️☺️jk i’m just trying to grab some blackberries, they grow everywhere here and are actually considered an invasive species! lavender and rosemary grows wild out here too and it’s one of my favorite parts about walking through the city. but i’m itching to make a little blackberry mocktail this weekend with how hot it’s been here soooo where are my tall friends at?! 🙃 #cityforaging #blackberries #seattle

Who else can’t believe it’s Wednesday and feels like there’s a ridiculous amount of things you need to complete by the end of the week? Looking ahead at the rest of the week I’m reminding myself that I *get* to do these things. Even when positive things are happening in our lives it can still cause stress. Recognizing positive stress can be difficult to wrap your head around, so I’m reminding myself that instead of “I have to do this”...that “I get to do this” A little bit of gratitude & perspective can go a long way🙇🏽‍♀️ If there’s a reframe or mantra you use to help deal with positive stress, let me know!
