The sweet scent of Holy Peony
I wanted to wear something feminine, there was something about that day that just called for something pretty. Why not Holy Peony from the Christian Dior La Privée Collection? It is floral, slightly sweet, and ever so slightly fruity. It was exactly the kind of scent for the mood I was in. Holy Peony eau…

Worth it
I did something drastic. Something that doesn’t make sense. Something foolish. Something that I needed to do a long time ago. I paid for Sakara Life’s Summer Program. It was stupid expensive, but also perhaps exactly what I needed. It was a way of affirming a truth: I am worth the sacrifice. I was tired…

More on what to expect with the Sakara Level II Detox : Experience
I decided to take on the Sakara Level II Detox in a time in my life when I needed to reset. I was feeling burnt out and mentally exhausted. My diet was trash. I just generally wasn’t taking care of myself like I knew I should and could. Something needed to change, so I went…

Here’s what to expect if you do the Sakara Level II Detox: Logistics
Before I tried Sakara, I was scraping the internet for information on what to expect. People talked about the food, but I wanted to know the logistics. (Don’t worry I’ll give more details on the experience in a later post.) Now that I’ve tried the Level II Detox, I will happily let you know what…

The big misunderstanding about Sakara
During my trial of Sakara, I told myself that in order to do this “diet” right for the program, I should eat vegan on the other days. I continued to do research to figure out what the founders do. But in a podcast, Whitney Tingle spoke about eating burgers on the weekend. When asked about…

Let your food be your skincare
What did you eat for breakfast yesterday? What about lunch, or dinner, or your snacks? What did you drink? Chances are that you don’t remember. Many people don’t, but I would guess you have a general idea of what types of food you eat on a regular basis. What if I told you that what…

Sun Force: First impressions of this fragrance from The Harmonist
I chose this Sun Force from the Harmonist as a way to give myself a little brightness on a tough rainy day. I expected it to smell like sunshine, but that’s not what I got. Maybe it is the vetiver and saffron that I’m paying attention to, rather than the citrus notes. It is not…

Composting
He said it so beautifully, in a way that I won’t do justice. You have to let things die, so they can be compost for something more beautiful to grow. That failed venture, that relationship, that jobs, that plan. They weren’t useless. They weren’t wastes of time. They taught you something. They shifted your life…

Lettuce respond to this crisis
“You can probably imagine the text messages we’ve gotten over the last few days,” wrote the founders of Sweetgreen, a brand known for its lettuce-packed bowls and wraps. They were subtly pointing to the massive Cyclosporiasis outbreak that has been linked to contaminated lettuce. Truthfully, the outbreak causing wildly uncomfortable symptoms has made many people…
