• We’re not decorating quite yet but I know the holiday season is here when our @artifactuprising cards arrive in the mail. I’ve been ordering with them for nearly a decade & it’s one of my favorite traditions (so it's extra special to have them sponsor this post). ⠀ They make it easy to create beautiful cards in minutes & since gatherings aren't guaranteed this year, this is a phenomenal way to send cheer and gratitude to loved ones.

  • I know everyone’s getting into the holiday spirit but with freezing temps and full darkness at four o’clock, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t mentally here 💭⏳ #suitcasetravels #slowtravel #wheretofindme #sunshineinmysoul

  • I’ve struggled with allergies all my life, especially in the spring and fall, and thankfully natural remedies and medications have worked for me in my adult life. Aaron on the other hand, poor guy, fights HARD with sinus issues and all sorts of allergies 🌾🌼 ⠀ They’ve been amplified with all the dust and mold from the renovation and all our time spent working on the property — even with his allergy medication relieving his symptoms, he still often struggles with feeling run down. ⠀ When I learned about @AllerLife, I thought it could be powerful to help aid with his overall wellness and immunity support so we’re giving it a try this allergy season! I’ll share how it supports him and how he feels after a bit of time has passed. ⠀ If you’re looking to overcome that ‘out of it’ feeling too, give this unique, drug-free line of supplements a try in your daily routine to help you be at your best during allergy season ✨ ⠀ #AllerLife #AllerLifePartner #AllergySeason #ImmunitySupport #Energy

  • “It’s never too late to change. It’s never too late to start again or try something brand new. You are never too stuck to move again, you are allowed to change whenever you need. You are allowed to grow beyond people and jobs that you thought were forever. You are allowed to start all over and make a new beginning wherever you are. You are allowed to sign up for that class, start the book you’ve been wanting to read, buy a one way ticket to a place you’ve always wanted to go — and all of the small things too. You can change the time you wake up or how you start your day. No matter what, never be afraid to bring change into your life. Because you never know just how much one decision could really change it all.” — @walktheearthwriter 📷 by @aaronhaynes

  • I’ve been getting more questions than usual about my clothing lately. Ironically, the questions stem mostly around my favorite thrifted pieces! Some of my most beloved, timeless staples are #secondhand and over the past few years, I’ve shifted the rest of my shopping towards brands investing in a more regenerative future 💭🌱 ⠀ I tend to shy away from sharing tons about clothing because I believe life is deeper than what we wear & because a lot of my clothing is years old / secondhand / “un-linkable.” ⠀ That being said, I realized that lately I’ve only been sharing info surrounding sustainable clothing / brands I love in partnered posts. Wanted to share one that’s more educational! Swipe to see a few things to keep in mind when shopping & a list of some favorite conscious brands. ⠀ Read more about how to craft a conscious closet in my full blogpost or see my full resource list (both linked in my stories) xx #secondhandisbest #secondhandfashion #secondhandstyle

  • Took a much needed escape from the house for a day — cozied up with this view & some @paumauivodka cocktails. A little taste of aloha made from locally grown @mauigoldpineapple (instead of wheat or potatoes) and distilled right on the farm in Kula. One sip has me dreaming of Hawai'i nei 🌊 #anywherealoha #paumauivodka [sponsored]

  • Yesterday history was made on so many levels: our participation, who we elected to lead on a micro and macro level, the first woman VP, and more. The deep exhale I experienced on a soul level made me aware that whether I knew it or not, I’ve been holding my breath for the last four years, unable to fully process the reality. ⠀ Today I feel hope for our path forward. Not because of elected leaders but more so because of US — the varied souls that create our collective — who are committed to taking action and using our voices in our own lives. In our communities. In our businesses. Our ability to come together to create change for our people & for our planet is what gives me hope. This is the beginning, not the end; but it’s a good start 🍂✨ #bethechange #wethepeople

  • Picking some of the abundance this land has to offer 🍎🥧 Recipe below! ⠀ This summer, when we walked to the back of our property, we found a peach tree (who knew they grew in Maine!) and now, the tree that sits in the far corner, on our neighbor’s side, has been overflowing with big, red apples. He was kind enough to let us pick some & with a little advice from friends, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen. An apple galette, apple sauce & apple pie ... what next? ✨ ⠀ These past four months have been long, challenging & at times, comical but as I baked the apple galette on the back deck and caught a few of the first snowflakes of the year on my tongue, gratitude is what sifts to the top. It’s pretty surreal to finally be sinking into this space, as ours. A friend kindly shared this simple recipe for an apple galette — ⠀ - Peel & slice apples very thinly, place them in the pie dough, sprinkle with a few tablespoons of sugar & a few dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg. ⠀ - Place a few small slabs of unsalted butter on top. ⠀ - Take the dough and fold/pinch it around the apples. Crack an egg and whisk for the egg wash, brush that on the dough & sprinkle some turbinado sugar on top! ⠀ - Pop in oven at 375° for 45 minutes! ⠀ We don’t have an oven yet so I did it on our @traegergrills & it was perfect. Serve with whatever ice cream you enjoy (I prefer non-dairy!) Swipe to see how mine turned out! Going to try & perfect it with the last of my apples 🍂

  • VOTE VOTE VOTE. This word, and the weight of it, has been at the forefront of my thoughts — this election means so much, I know it’s easy to feel weary or overwhelmed or apathetic but our country (and planet) needs our collective voice 🌎 ⠀ I used to say “I’m not into politics” but as I started unraveling my understanding of the world (and myself) through the lens of conservation and sustainability, I realized how much I DO care about who is leading and making decisions in our world — I just didn’t know enough or feel comfortable enough. But that’s changed. Like with everything, it’s worth getting out of our comfort zone to learn & help create change. ⠀ We have 5 DAYS LEFT. Have you already voted? What’s your voting plan? Share below! I picked up my ballot and hand delivered to our town office. Aaron mailed his to Hawai’i nei. There’s still time to make your voice heard. LET’S DO THIS 🌊 #voteforchange #bluewave #votetheenvironment

  • When we talk about environmental crises, specifically climate change, solutions can feel beyond us or out of our reach. As I’ve said before, for change to happen, it has to be on an individual, governmental and corporate scale and historically, these movements of change are started by US – individuals and business owners. Voters and consumers. Movers and shakers. So…what can we possibly do to make a dent? ⠀ I have an idea. ⠀ Together, let’s offset our personal carbon creation with our change. YES! @PlantYourChangeOfficial from @Aspiration will automatically round up the purchases you’re already making and use that investment to plant trees which is the most common way to offset carbon. Simple. Integrated. Consistent. ⠀ Will tree planting completely solve the climate crisis? No. Will it offset our personal carbon footprint and provide macro change through collective action? Absolutely. Love this idea of how little ripples can add up to make big waves. Join me at PlantYourChange.com (link in my bio) to connect your credit or debit card to #plantyourchange!
