    • been creating a lot since we got in our new space. the lack of wifi the first week or two really helped. creating is one of the simple pleasures that brings me so much joy. but there are a lot of little things in my life and in the world that bring me joy (lack of perfect and all). last week i decided to create a list of these things. for myself and for anyone who might feel like they’re in a funk. it’s not a crazy or extravagant list. it’s little things that you and anyone can practice daily to find joy :) whether here on on the blog, id love to hear a tip / simple practice that brings YOU joy! maybe it’s something i may have missed. or something that’s simple and not relevant to my everyday life but is to yours! that way i can maybe try some of those things myself or others can too too! and yes, eating fruit is on my list ;) linked in profile.
    • definitely not important or lengthy enough for a blog post... but i wanted to answer something you guys have been asking me A LOT about lately! my hair! i thought all the hair questions would disappear once i chopped 18 inches, but nope 😂 so many questions about what color it is, highlights, how it’s dyed, etc etc! to answer questions: my hair is completely and totally my natural color. no highlights. no dyes. it gets a “sun-kissed” look from... sunshine. i haven’t dyed/bleached it in about 15 years and have zero plans to ever do it again. to wash it, i still use natural shampoo and then vinegar instead of conditioner. to manage it, i still use all the same techniques i wrote about it my hair post on blog (i’ll link in profile, or search “hair” in sidebar). but yeah, no dyes or products for this girl 🙅🏽‍♀️ working on cutting out the shampoo to reduce waste, but it definitely won’t happen soon. sunshine is where it’s at ☀️ don’t know if this post will show up in an hour or three days for you, but thinking beach dinner hangs if friends wanna join ⛱🌈 towels are via @luna_zorro
    • i decided i’m going to instagram differently from now. you *might* notice i’m changing up edits, not for a reason, but just for the desire to play with creative joy. but i also just feel like actively changing and giving less of a crap about the system itself as well as the downsides of the internet. i want to share more things i don’t normally share. obviously the blog is where i share most of my info and all the personal things (too many personal things? haha), but i want to speak up more there too— and worry less about people’s opinions and toes. most probably won’t notice. some will and won’t be surprised by it. maybe some people will like it. and maybe some people won’t, but i’m okay with that. there are things i don’t love about my closest friends either! but we still connect and grow separately and together! i’m feeling good and making all the life changes lately (okay okay, all the time— i love change and growth!) and i want this place to change with me. any sort of system that controls the people drives me nuts and this is one of them. i don’t like to be controlled, i like things in life to be outrageously just and fair. but if i’m going to make the active choice to use this place, then i have to accept it. everyone is always told that the best way to grow on this platform is consistency— giving people what they expect all the time— it helps keep the likes up ya know? well that’s cool, but growing myself is more important than growing a platform. those of you who have been around the longest know this best about me ;) if you’ve read this far and stayed around in my life this long — whether it’s been 18 years or a day: thanks! now i promise my best to share and never be preachy (your life is YOUR priority). except i will preach one thing: go outside and get some sun! our species was created in nature— we legit would die without sunshine. it’s free. it’s good for you. it boosts your mood, detoxes your toxins, and gives you life. please sit outside for a bit, k? thanks ;) ☀️🙌🏼
    • marlowe looked at me this week and said, “remember when we used to travel together? that was fun.” (yeah, i remember it was three months ago 😂😂) she’s hinting and reminding me all the time about our solo travels together and trying to get me back into regular travel (fun!) and regular plane rides (😬). gotta love her love for travel and adventure though... no idea where she caught it from (👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️). shared a new post with a ton of photos and a bit more about our week in san pancho... when i dropped her off with strangers and she had the best week ever... and so did i. ps. yes, it’s only been 3 months since we’ve traveled anywhere— that’s apparently a long time in our personal inch-to-explore world. 💓💓 ps. yes, she lives in this dress. i’m happy i got the size up when i ordered it two years ago haha. happy friday friends! gonna make a smoothie and head to the beach 🍍☀️🙌🏼 link is always in profile 😉😘 #ohdeartravel #ohdearmexico
    • Our first colds in two years and rain rain rain, so much rain this week (talk about upping the exposure on the camera to get a well-lit photo, haha!). Perfect timing to receive another @kiwico_inc kit! I know I talk about them a lot— but it’s such a wonderful and handy tool for kids (and parents). Learning, creativity, + fun in one. Get your first kit free with code OHDEAR (just pay 4.95 shipping) or order a kit for your favorite kiddo today :) Linked and shared more in stories! Cheers :) #ohdearcasita #ad #yeskiwi #kiwico
    • my growing mango queen 👸🏽🌧☀️🥭 you know, i developed a mango tree allergy since getting sick— and maybe i could eat a mango again if i tried (i’ve been able to peel them again for marlowe with no problem) but i’m always nervous. maybe this season i’ll try again, but i’m not sure yet. but man, either way, mangoes are one hell of a fruit. im just grateful to see the happiness that comes for this lady when mango season arrives #ohdearfruitlove #mymangoqueen #fruitarian
