5 Habits to Help You Pause. Reflect and Reset Your Well-being

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and while we’re in the thick of spring when everything around us seems to be blooming and moving forward, it feels like the right time to pause, reflect, and reset.

Spring Garden Seeding & Early Sprouts 🌱

Finally, a break in the weather gave me a chance to prep my soil and plant a few more vegetables. I was excited to get my hands in the dirt, but I quickly realized I didn’t buy enough soil. Rookie mistake! About 80% of what I’m growing needs at least 12 inches of depth, so I had to get creative—redistributing what I had to one side of the bed until I can grab more.

Spring Garden Prep: Round Two

I’m gearing up for my spring garden, and this time, I’m switching things up! Instead of a full garden bed in the yard, I’m bringing the operation up to my balcony—three stories high.

Last spring, if you remember, Florida squirrels wiped me out. 😭 They feasted on my seedlings, dug through my soil, and left me with nothing but empty garden beds and broken dreams. This year, I’m hoping Texas squirrels have better manners. 🤞🏽

honey + wellness

I never realized how much I relied on Honey until recently. I use it in so many different ways - from cooking and baking to juice and herbal tea, to making homemade skin products and even home remedies for my allergies. As someone who's conscious about consuming things positive for my health, I've been trying to make better choices when it comes to the ingredients in my pantry and Honey is no exception.

meal prep + wellness

Meal prep isn't a new concept for me, it’s a practice I began years before I transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle. If you've been following my personal socials on IG, Facebook, and TikTok, you know that I enjoy spending my Sundays on meal prep. When time permits, I try to share real time what’s going down in my kitchen on a Sunday evening. For me, meal prep is the number one way I’m able to stay on track with my eating and it also just starts my week off with a healthy, fresh mind set.
