• 🎄MY EDITOR’S CHOICE GIFT GUIDE IS HERE! 🎄 I have been doing my annual holiday gift guide for SEVEN years now, but I have to say, this year has been my FAVORITE! For the first time ever, we shared gift guides written and curated by a 💣 lineup of ladies. Rebecca of @adailysomething shared her favorite picks for new and expecting mamas, as well as for babies and little ones. Melissa of @theslowerhome made a dreamy list of slow home essentials. Alison of @alison__wu curated a grand slam list of wardrobe essentials that are fun, yet totally practical. Annnd last but certainly not least, Lauren of @woodenspoonherbs pulled together her fave items for the wellness enthusiast in our lives! 🎁 The gift list I’m sharing with you all today is a mix of things I’ve used and swooned over this year, all right up your alley if you dig my style! It’s a little of this… a little of that. My favorite lilac mug I’ve been protecting from little hands this year. A very giftable jar of manuka honey that I drizzle on yogurt, oatmeal, or spoon into a cup of tea. There’s a little something for everyone, and I hope you enjoy exploring it and all our other guides as much as I enjoyed making it! 💫 If you’re already done with all of your holiday shopping, be sure to check out all of the gift wrapping inspiration on the Local Milk Blog! We’ve got plenty of sustainable and natural inspo for your under the tree style! #livemoremagic

  • 👶GIFT GUIDE NO. 5 | FOR BABIES & LITTLES 👶 It’s the last day of our gift guide series over on the Local Milk Blog! Today we have not one, but TWO guides for you! The first is written and curated by Rebecca Gallop of @adailysomething and is dedicated to all the tiny people in your life. 🤱 Rebecca is a mama to four kiddos, so I consider her an authority when it comes to choosing gifts for little ones that are high-quality and provide long-lasting fun and function. I mean seriously. Baby clothes and toys can be SO expensive! Why not get a kimono set that can survive the endless washing required? (Bonus points, it’s also so freaking cute and gender-neutral)! 🤩 Looking for toys that aren’t plastic and help your littles learn skills like cooking and cleaning? Um, 🙋‍♀! Rebecca has you covered with her wooden fruit and veggie + chopping board and knife combo (and a beautiful wooden refrigerator to boot)! 🥾 Head on over to check out this guide and ALL the others we have shared this week! And stay tuned later today for my Editor’s Choice Guide. 👂🎁 #livemoremagic

  • 🎁GIFT GUIDE NO. 3 | FOR THE PLAYFUL YET PRACTICAL WARDROBE 🎁 Day three of our week of gift guides comes from the endlessly inspirational @alison__wu! I first discovered Alison through her vibrant, beautiful, health-conscious recipe posts. Over time I started eyeing not only her food content but her style! Alison’s fearless approach to color in her wardrobe makes me want to break out of my longtime monogamous relationship with neutrals and throw on a hot pink jumpsuit ASAP. Not only is her eye and color palette on point for fashion and accessories, but everything she wears looks like it could easily transition from a long plane ride to an afternoon at the dog park, to a nice dinner out. Versatility, comfort, AND style. Could a wardrobe get any better than that? Head on over to check out her full gift guide for that lady in your life who doesn’t want her clothing getting in the way of everything she wants and needs to do (but who still wants to look good)! If you missed gift guides 1 & 2, be sure to check those out as well! #livemoremagic

  • It’s Christmas cookie season! If you didn’t make these Adaptogenic Raw Vegan Gingerbread Cookies last year head to the blog (link in profile!) and make them this year! Just search for gingerbread in the search box. They are a guilt free treat that I don’t have to feel bad doling out to my little during the holidays because they’re packed with nutrients and calming adaptogens. And no icky ingredients. What new cookie recipe do you want to see this year? I’m brainstorming!

  • 📣LAST CALL! 📣The doors to my flagship e-course, Influence to Income, are closing in just a few hours! If you miss out on this go-round, not only will you have to wait until we start accepting new students next year, but you won’t get my CYBER MONDAY BONUS, the Instagram Starter Kit, for FREE! ⏰ This online course is so much more than just LESSONS (though the lessons ARE kickass). This is a program and community designed to teach you the Mindful Social Strategy — my 5-step system to building an engaged, authentic Instagram Community AND income with intention & integrity. It’s designed to defeat algorithm anxiety, competition overwhelm, and tech/camera confusion. It’ll also teach you how to sell your awesome services and products *without* selling out. I’ve condensed everything I’ve learned (the hard way) in the past 7+ years into a digestible set of strategies that can work for YOU. ⚡️ In addition to the four course core-modules you’ll have lifetime access to, you’ll get some super sweet bonuses and extras! You’ll get my ENTIRE photography, editing, and styling online class, The Art of Visual Storytelling, for FREE. I’ll be hosting 4 LIVE Q&A’s with our exclusive Influence to Income Insiders community (that would mean you)! Signing up means lifetime access to the course as is it updated and improved and expanded. And JUST for this final day, you’ll receive the Instagram Start Kit, which includes ALL the LM Presets! 📷 Whether you join the community or not, THANK YOU beyond words for letting me into your feeds and inboxes these past few weeks to talk about Influence to Income. It’s the culmination of so much hard work, and I’m so grateful you’ve taken some of your precious time to learn more about it! #livemoremagic
