Instagram post 17855147360279598 my headspace hasn’t been the best lately (you know, since our world erupted into a combination pandemic/uprising/high-stakes election), so I’m trying to find ways to ground myself. sometimes, lighting a candle helps bring me a moment of calm. sometimes it’s caring for my plants. sometimes it’s sticking my face into my cats’ bellies and disappearing into warm fluffy oblivion for five seconds.⁣ ⁣ I hope you’re finding little ways to take care of your inner space, too. ✨⁣ ⁣ [candle is PR product from @boy_smells - sustainably made from coconut and beeswax and oh-so-delicious smelling]
Instagram post 17916623944485094 matcha strawberry pops 🍓! still messing around and perfecting the recipe...but this is what I did this time (sorry I didn’t really measure):⁣ ⁣ matcha:⁣ blend 1 tsp matcha whisked in a splash of hot water, coconut milk, yogurt, handful of spinach, sugar, oat milk (I ran out of avocados but adding half an avo makes this much creamier)⁣ ⁣ strawberry:⁣ blend frozen strawberries, yogurt, oat milk, honey dissolved in a splash of hot water⁣ ⁣ layer the two flavors in the popsicle molds to get that swirl effect & freeze for 3-4 hours⁣ ⁣ *to make vegan, replace the yogurt with any dairy-free yogurt (I just didn’t have any on hand)
Instagram post 17886395998761440 kindergartner teacher chic with bright knits and this necklace from @heymoondesigns that reminds me of the bead maze toy they always have for kids in the waiting room at the doctor’s office 👼⁣ ⁣ does anyone else gravitate towards bright colors for the cooler seasons? I have major SAD so I wear bright colors to trick my brain into producing serotonin 🙃⁣ ⁣ necklace #gifted from @heymoondesigns

Instagram post 17923076053456857 thottage core but make it fall 🍂 this is the most autumnal I can do rn bc it’s still so hot here 😭⁣ ⁣ having a @thatcurlytop #RewearThat moment in this @girlfriend skort, which I’ve worn every day this week. it’s just so convenient and versatile and I’ve been too mentally fatigued to wear other clothes hahahah⁣ ⁣ wearing:⁣ top: @aulieude (Asian-woman-owned)⁣ skort: @girlfriend
Instagram post 17854100768280322 I love buying bags secondhand because a well-made bag can last a lifetime. found this lil baguette bag on @depop and fell in love 💚⁣ ⁣ (I love @depop but just a note to be careful when shopping on sites with third party sellers! @thatcurlytop recently shared her experience with a seller that resold fast fashion from brands like Shein and upcharged, passing the items off as “vintage.” always ask to see photos of the actual item and the label if there is one. when I bought this, I looked at the seller’s profile, reviews, and the other items they were selling to make sure they were actually selling secondhand goods.)
Instagram post 17856138197283435 🍳 sometimes I don’t want to spend 2 hours inhaling nail polish fumes in an effort to paint tiny likenesses of my favorite foods on my nails (yeah, surprising, I know) so I was THRILLED when @ciatelondon sent over these egg nail stickers. fastest manicure I’ve done in a hot minute! #gifted

Instagram post 17844363338435098 casually have spent almost a quarter of my life with this guy and I guess we’re still not sick of each other? cool⁣ ⁣ (quarterly reminder to the bots looking for sugar babies in my DMs that I am already a sugar mama)
Instagram post 17886949156739281 the other week, I posted about the benefits of electric vehicles. what I didn’t realize until a friend let me know was how pushing EVs as a long-term solution for eco-friendly transportation is extremely harmful to indigenous communities in South America, whose ancestral lands are being mined and destroyed to obtain the lithium needed for EV batteries (same with our electronics).⁣ ⁣ both EVs and gas vehicles have negative environmental consequences and not everyone can live in an accessible city, so it’s not the consumer’s fault for having to navigate this moral minefield and I don’t think anyone should feel guilty about buying a EV when current alternatives are worse or nonexistent.⁣ ⁣ but the danger is when the auto industry and politicians advocate for EVs as a solution to climate change when it only shifts the environmental burden onto indigenous communities — and when true solutions would require reimagining our societies to be more pedestrian- and bike-friendly and to embrace indigenous ways of living.⁣ ⁣ I wanted to address this on my feed bc it’s important to me to share how I’m learning, how impossible it is to be a perfectly sustainable consumer, and why we need to think beyond green capitalism.⁣ ⁣ I think we should be cautious whenever a corporation profits off of something that is “eco-friendly,” while recognizing that we must also sometimes rely on these corporations to live. I realize that this may seem hypocritical coming from someone who cares a lot about conscious consumerism, but this is a contradiction we all have to wrestle with: how to live within capitalist structures while trying to change them.⁣ ⁣ thx for coming to my ted talk, happy indigenous people’s day, and pls vote early if you can ✨
Instagram post 17881546738829592 ✨ destroy the idea that women can’t post photos like this in order to be taken seriously ✨⁣ ⁣ this thirst trap thursday inspired by @gabrielasage’s powerful words:⁣ ⁣ “Here is just a reminder to everyone that you shouldn’t be ashamed of your body and that just because you show you belly button on the internet doesn’t mean you have invalid opinions, beliefs, or are less intelligent. It took me a long time to undo oppressive belief frameworks engrained in me. Beliefs that, I didn’t have a voice or that I should be ashamed of my body. BUT THIS BODY IS FEELING LIBERATED AS HELL AND YOU SHOULD RESPECT WOMEN AND THEIR WORDS. PERIOD. 💖💖💖”
