Fitness Goal and a Hike Through the Woods

Lifestyle

Hello Darlings!   So far I’ve been pretty great about following my NewYear’s resolutions which, quite frankly, is a bit shocking, but exciting nevertheless. However, I’ve noticed that I am quite out of shape. I’ve been going to hot yoga three times a week and it is incredibly fun and challenging, and I’ve noticed the difference in my muscle tone,…

Snow Day with Musher’s Secret

Pups· Reviews

Hello Darlings! Yay! No Snow Balls!               Tinkerbelle and Kiwi love playing in the snow, but hate the balls of snows that form between the pads on their feed while doing so. Tink doesn’t have much of a problem being a sled dog breed, but Kiwi, a golden retriever, gets them quite severely. So…

Broiled Pineapple

Broiled Pineapple with Mint

Hello Darlings! Yes, I know: two food posts in a row. Whoops. However, it is pineapple season and you may have noticed that there has been a pineapple lurking in the background in many of my kitchen photos. I wanted to use it before it became overripe, and as I happen to be in the possession of a very large…

Roasted Root Vegetables

Meatless Monday: Roasted Root Vegetables

Food· Lunch and Dinner

Hello darlings! I am a big fan of making huge batches of things. For instance, I may have brought home a sixty-ear bag of sweet corn from the farm down the street this past summer. Twice. That being said, the following recipe will make a huge batch but is incredibly easy to halve, quarter, or divide by any other sized…

Mushroom and Onion Pizza

Meatless Monday: Whole Wheat Mushroom & Onion Pizza

Food· Lunch and Dinner

Hello Darlings! I really do believe that cheese should be its own food group. If I had to eat three types of food for the rest of my life they would be cheese, fruit, and bread, in that order. My one glaring exception: Swiss cheese. When I was very young my father told me the holes were made from hungry…

Somehow it is already mid-January in 2021 and if y Somehow it is already mid-January in 2021 and if you’re feeling anything like I am you’re hopeful for the year to come! #ad Now while I don’t set myself a list of resolutions, I most definitely make sure that with each new year I feel more and more myself. I want to be the healthiest and happiest version of Kait that I can be, and I’ve teamed up with @BabbleBoxxoffical to help with that journey!I was sent a fun smorgasbord of health and wellness goodies to test out over the last few weeks and I have some great products to share! Check out my blog post- link in bio- for a whole rundown, but here are some highlights!

The Habit Trip book by @runningpressbooks! Part journal, part reference book this is a great interactive way to create actionable steps to help you achieve you goals and change your habits!

Plant-based meal delivery service by @VeestroFood. ::Gasp:: a meal delivery service for me!? Usually I shy away because of the sheer amount of waste that delivery services create, but #Veestro is eco-friendly right down to its compostable food trays!I’ve been using collagen peptides since I broke my ankle and probiotics since before I can remember and these from @PhysiciansChoice are great options! Non-GMO, hormone free, grass fed, and pasture raised you know that #PhysiciansChoice is super high quality!Last but not least my feet have taken a beating this winter! I tried out one of those peeling foot masks to no avail, but this @Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair has worked wonders on my extra dry feet! #Kerasal#newyearrefreshbbxx
Remind me to never post a story about me making br Remind me to never post a story about me making bread without showing the result- so many DMs wanting to see it! This is my roasted garlic and herb bread (recipe is linked in my bio!)
It’s nearly three weeks into 2021 and it feels s It’s nearly three weeks into 2021 and it feels simultaneously like it’s been a decade and that I’ve blinked and three weeks has gone by. 🕰But despite the rather confusing timeline, I am still feeling SO hopeful for the future. As per my word for 2021, roots, I’ve been disseminating what I want, how to achieve it, and allowing my feelings to help guide me in business and it really feels like I am realigning with who I am. ✨I’ve been taking time to step away, explore more, and ‘check out’ and it has me feeling so inspired. I’m feeling like creativity is a haven rather than an obligation again! That in itself is worlds apart from where my headspace was in the later part of 2020. 🏔P.S. I gifted this snake plant to Becky when she signed the papers for owning DPC- I can’t wait to help style with more plant babies! 🪴📷: @rebecca_durigan

There’s something about solitude, fresh air, and There’s something about solitude, fresh air, and blue bird skies that sets my soul free. When my anxiety is acting up I escape with these two fluffs, and a windy hike to an alpine lake was exactly what I needed. 🌬
This new year I’ve been focusing on getting back This new year I’ve been focusing on getting back to my roots, finding out what makes me, me. I’ve been looking back to what I know makes me happy, allows me to flourish, grow, and heal as a human. #Sponsored However, one thing that has been rather omnipresent in my life which I am *not* looking to get back to is my anxiety and inability to sleep! So I’ve teamed up with @NorthAmericanHerbandSpice to showcase one of my new favorite products of theirs, Essence of Neroli Orange.Known in the Mediterranean as ‘white coffee’ for its mood-balancing actions, this orange blossom, oxygen-rich hydrosol also supports a healthy whole body neurological response when I am looking for a bit of help calming down before bed! I pop a couple tablespoons of the essence into a cup of hot water with honey before bed to make a sweet, floral elixir that is both delicious and calming! It has been a fun new addition to my nighttime routine! Be sure to check it out in the link in my bio! #NorthAmericanHerbandSpice
It’s been two weeks since I’ve dyed my hair ba It’s been two weeks since I’ve dyed my hair back to it’s natural color, and the change in how I’m treated has blown my mind. 🧜‍♀️When I first dyed my hair blue, I noticed a change immediately- people took me less seriously, assumed that I was less capable, and, most infuriatingly for me, less intelligent. People seemed genuinely surprised that I was well educated and could add insight to projects and conversations. ✨At first it was amusing- I loved watching people’s facial expressions as they realized that they were wrong about first impressions, but after a while it became frustrating. I started casually dropping where I went to school, degrees I’ve earned, even sometimes in exasperation that my IQ is well over the number that qualifies me for Mensa. Because of my hair I had to work harder for respect, acceptance, and positive attention. 📚I eventually got used to the extra work and it fell to the back of my mind. However, when I dyed my hair back natural I noticed that those friction points faded away. Conversations start differently, I’m automatically included, and I don’t get the second glances in stores but rather help and up-selling (brunette me apparently looks more affluent.) 🌙If hair color can change the perception that extensively (especially of someone who has an abundance of privilege- white, pretty, socio-economic, cisgender and more) I can’t begin to imagine the hurdles that many of my fellow humans have to jump in order to get respect and common decency. I made the conscious choice to dye my hair, but being born a certain race or trans or differently-abled isn’t a choice and shouldn’t have to be a barrier to living the lives they imagined. 🌈I’ve always lived in a headspace that doesn’t care what you look like, where you came from, or who or how you love as long as you’re a good human. But even those of us who are active participants in equality for all have implicit bias, and we need to recognize that. I’m hopeful for our future as a society- the turbulence of the last year, if nothing else, proved that there are people willing to step up and fight for what is right. Let’s keep that progress moving! ☀️📷: @rebecca_durigan
We all know that I am a mess in the kitchen, and o We all know that I am a mess in the kitchen, and oftentimes I lose track of time and end up baking in the dark with my hands covered in dough and veggie scraps! #Sponsored I've been slowly transitioning this old house into a smart home, and my latest project is my kitchen and breakfast nook to make sure I can control my lighting without covering light switches with rogue butter streaks!Caséta by @LutronElectronics is the premium smart lighting control that makes regular bulbs smart and works with more leading smart home brands than any other smart home lighting control brand. I've added two of their products into my kitchen, a Smart Dimmer for this gorgeous pendant light (the dimmer even works with my filament bulbs!) and a Smart Switch for my on-off overhead lights! Now I can ask my Google devices to turn on or dim lights without the mess.With my front room and now kitchen outfitted with Caséta, what do you guys think I should do next? Porch lights or the bedrooms!? #TurnOnPeaceOfMind
