I’m def putting this “glowing goddess” smoothie on repeat over here because it tastes like a tropical dream and is super hydrating. ✨💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spending so much time at home can be a little exhausting but I’ve been trying to take this time to freshen up the decor, reorganize some things and get rid of clutter that’s been piling up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheerful colors, fresh flowers 🌸 and a tidy space always fill me with positive and creative energy. Anyone else feel the same? 🥰 #HealthyAtHome #GreenSmoothie

{#ad} Let’s share Positive Affirmations! ✨💗 Do you have a favorite mantra that you like to repeat to yourself? If you’re in need of more, I listed “10 Positive Affirmations for Stress Relief” on my latest blog post in partnership with @nordstrom and @shopstyle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love to incorporate these short phrases into my mindfulness meditation, especially on days when I’m feeling overwhelmed. 🧘🏻‍♀️ If you’re new to meditating I shared a few tips on how to create a safe space in your home for your practice and linked these super cozy athleisure pieces from Zella that are perfect for yoga and meditation. 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This set is so soft and I love how the bottoms resemble a mix between joggers and leggings. (Bonus: they have pockets!). Head to the link in my bio to see more! ❤️ #Nordstrom

INSTAGRAM VS. REALITY {swipe 👈🏼 for a laugh}. Bay and I went to the William Vale rooftop “Glice” rink yesterday evening to celebrate 🎊 .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sadly I should have read the reviews because it was impossible to skate on!! 😂 It’s made with a synthetic ice that really just doesn’t work... prob would have been better as a roller skating rink.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think we hobbled around for about 15 min before leaving and going downstairs to Westlight for some dinner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily we had quite a few laughs over the whole thing and watched the most beautiful sunset over the city 🌇 . Still a great way to end what was such a wonderful and historic day. ❤️ #IGvsReality

Traded sweatpants for sushi 🍣 on last night’s date night venture at @sushilab.nyc. It’s no surprise that winter + Covid have made going out a rare occasion for Bay and I.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It does make moments like this, when you find an outdoor dining spot that’s so warm you can take your coat off, such a special treat. We savored every second of it. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re in NYC here are a few other warm and cozy outdoor dining spots that we’ve tried or have made reservations for:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ @scarpettarestaurants
✨ @boucherienyc
✨ @thenomadhotel rooftop
✨ @lafayette380

And two accounts that have amazing recommendations are @covid.date.spots and @nycdatenite. 🔥💯

Out of curiosity have you all been dining out? Or are you eating most of your meals at home? 🏡 #SushiNight

🌱5 HOUSEPLANTS FOR BEGINNERS 🌱 Which one is

🌱5 HOUSEPLANTS FOR BEGINNERS 🌱 Which one is your favorite?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You all know how much I love my plants and I really do believe they are a great way to cultivate more positive energy in your space. 🏡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking to add some houseplants to your collection but aren’t sure where to start, here are some of my personal favs!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬: vining plant that will visibly wilt when it needs to be watered. I water mine once a week
🌱 𝐒𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭: technically a succulent so it’s super low maintenance. I only water mine once every 3-4 weeks
🌱 𝐉𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭: another succulent that loves bright light and requires little maintenance
🌱 𝐑𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭: needs medium to bright indirect light and you can water once every 2 weeks
🌱 𝐙𝐳 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭: the toughest plant ever and will survive anything lol mine is in low indirect light and I water it once every 3 weeks
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I busted out my watercolors for this little illustration and it just makes me so happy. 🎨 I love being able to share these with you all and I hope you enjoy seeing my more artistic side. 🌱 #plantillustration

Give me all the delicious plant-based snacks and a large glass of water after a workout and I’m one happy gal! 🍅 🥕 Lately, I’ve been reaching for these Air Dried Veggies + Nuts by @dirtkitchensnacks and I think you all would LOVE them too. 🎉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They are crisp, crunchy, and taste so good. This one is the Carrot + Zucchini + Roasted Peanuts pack and it’s seasoned with spicy chili lime seasoning! 🌶 USE CODE: MEL20 FOR A DISCOUNT.🥕🥒
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bay and I are already planning to reorder the Variety Packs (linked in my story) because they’re one of those snacks that we both love and are beginning to become a staple in our house. 🙌🏻 Who else loves snacking on veggies? #DigInWithDKS #Sponsored

Hey friends! Tell me — where in this big beautiful world do you live right now? 🌎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had one of those “wow social media is really cool” moments while messaging with a lovely gal from Singapore and another girl who grew up near my hometown in Florida today. 🏝
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know IG can be a bit overwhelming at times but I’m so thankful for how easily it can connect so many of us from around the world!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And since so many people have moved during this pandemic, I’m also curious as to where everyone ended up. 🗺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can’t wait to hear from you all ❤️🥰. Thanks for being in my small corner of the internet! #NYCblogger

Are you team sweet or savory? 🍌 🍅 Personally

Are you team sweet or savory? 🍌 🍅 Personally I always have a hard time choosing, but when they’re both made with delicious ingredients, I’m all about having both. #WasaPartner

One of my favorite ways to create these simple snack stacks is with @wasausa Multigrain Crispbreads. 🙌 They are made with wholesome grains like oats and barley, have 0 grams of Trans Fat, no palm oil and are Carbon Neutral from field to shelf, making them a great choice for you and the planet! 🌎 Definitely the perfect pantry staple to kick off the new year.

Swipe 👈 to see how these snacks came together. The left has crunchy PB butter, bananas, honey and chia seeds while the right has mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and basil.

What healthy toppings do you think you would add to these? 😋 #NewYearNewSnack #SnackWasa #SimplyWasa
