Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes yester

Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes yesterday! 💕🥂 You all sure know how to make a girl feel special.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been feeling a bit out of sorts for the past few weeks and that nature escape was just what I needed to help shift my mindset into something positive. No matter what’s happening, there’s ALWAYS something worth celebrating. 💕🥂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So today I’m saying cheers to you all for inspiring me daily. 😘 And to my apartment building for FINALLY opening our outdoor space. 🤪
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can catch me and @BayPhillips here with a glass of @lamarcaprosecco for the rest of summer. ☀️🥂 #MakeEveryDaySparkle

Celebrating 31 revolutions around the sun after a beautiful birthday getaway in the #CatskillMountains. 🏔☀️🌲 Feeling extra grateful for time spent off the grid and deep in nature with my loves. 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼🐶💕#ThisIs31

Hands up if this gorgeous Summer weather has you craving iced tea and lots of sunshine!☀️ {#sponsored}⠀
⠀
I whipped up this healthy, refreshing BERRY LEMON ICED TEA for #NationalIcedTeaMonth earlier this morning with my @Cuisinart PerfecTemp® Cordless Electric Kettle. I love that it has different settings to heat water to the exact temperature needed based on the kind of tea you're using! ⠀
⠀
I of course wanted to share the recipe with you because it's too good to pass up.🍓 It's loaded with antioxidants and only slightly sweetened with coconut sugar. Be sure to SAVE this post to try later and head to my Stories for a video demo: ⠀
⠀
✨Heat 2 cups of frozen berries (I used the Cherry Berry blend from Trader Joes) in small saucepan over medium heat ⠀
✨Add 1/3 cup coconut sugar and juice from 1/2 lemon⠀
✨Cook for several minutes, till reduced⠀
✨Mash and strain liquid into a bowl through a mesh strainer⠀
✨Fill tea kettle with 1.5L (6 cups) of water and boil⠀
✨Add 5 bags of white tea to pitcher with boiled water from kettle ⠀
✨Once steeped for 3 minutes, remove the bags and pour in the berry liquid ⠀
✨Let cool in fridge for 1 hour and then serve over ice! Garnish with a lemon wedge and fresh berries ⠀
⠀
Do you have a favorite iced tea to make when the weather warms up? Please share! {Click the link in my bio to shop the tea kettle}🍵 #SavorTheGoodLife

You all voted to see a try-on haul of some of my favorite looks for Summer, and I had way too much fun with this video! 🥰 It’s been awhile since I looked to TikTok for inspo and I’m not gonna lie, it feels good to make something “just for fun.” ⠀

A list of daily morning joys: ⠀ ⠀
✨ Seeing new leaves sprout on my plants⠀
✨ The smell of fresh espresso⠀
✨ Gentle and juicy stretches on my yoga mat⠀
✨ Ditching sweatpants for something cute and colorful (like this new scallop trim @CaliaByCarrie set)⠀
✨ A light Summer breeze coming into the apartment⠀
✨ Journaling next to a sleepy pup ⠀
✨ Being guided through a blissful meditation ⠀ ⠀
By choosing to set aside time each morning to take notice of these little moments, I've seen a huge difference in how I feel and the way I approach what each day has in store. 💕✨⠀
⠀
Sometimes self-care can seem daunting or material driven; and trust me, I love a bougie bath and luxe face mask as much as the next girl. 💁🏻‍♀️ But the real moments of emotional self-care, come from finding comfort in stillness and truly being grateful for life's tiny pleasures. 🥰⠀
⠀
✨I'd love to know what little things you're finding joy in today? Let's see how big we can make this list.✨⠀

Happy Father’s Day to the man I’ve looked up to since day one. ❤️ From playing barbies and watching Disney princess movies with me as a kid, to teaching me the importance of hard work, faith, integrity and compassion as an adult — I’m truly blessed to have a dad like you. 🥰 Love you so much. #HappyFathersDay

🌸DIY PRESSED FLOWER ART 🌸 I’ve been search

🌸DIY PRESSED FLOWER ART 🌸 I’ve been searching for a unique piece of floral art to hang above my piano but all the ones I loved were way too pricey. 😅 So I decided to make one myself! ⠀
⠀
I bought a few packs of pressed flowers for $25 and repurposed an old frame that I had in storage. 🌼🍃 30 min later, this is what I ended up with!
I know I’ve been sharing more home decor and art things lately, and I appreciate you all being open to my shift in content. 🎨 ⠀
⠀
Tbh, pouring energy into art and creating a space I love has been the most therapeutic thing for me these past few months. 🥰And I intend to keep sharing what has benefited my mental health, as I hope that it inspires you in some way too. 🌸 ⠀
⠀
I’d love to know what you’ve been doing to decompress and stay inspired lately? 🤗 #pressedflowers
