Attended my first @bossbabesatx WORK conference 😍 💯x💯 recommend for female creatives and entrepreneurs! It was so incredibly empowering to be surrounded by other women, share our BIG dreams, be vulnerable about our fears, and help each other keep pushing forward to achieve our dreams! 🙆🏼‍♀️ The @bossbabesatx shared 3 affirmations for 2019 that really spoke to me, so I want share them with you, too: 1) YOU’RE DOING BIG WORK. In everything you do, even the seemingly mundane tasks, everything you’re working towards is big and it matters 💕 2) YOU’RE NOT REQUIRED TO BE ALL OF YOURSELF AT ONCE. As creatives/entrepreneurs, we usually have about 1001 different business ideas or different ways we want to express who we are; that’s totally fine, but you don’t have be ALL those things at once 😚 take your time and delve into interests as they come up. 3) IT’S OKAY TO CHANGE. Whether it be personally or professionally, you won’t really know if you love something until you dive in 100% (especially when it comes to starting businesses.) It’s okay to change your mind, change what your business looks like, and/or change and grow as a person. (P.s. please come with me to the next event in July!)
I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE 🙊🙊🙊 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ I used to be pretty stinky. I mean, I would have to reapply the strongest deodorant like 2-3 times a day just to keep my stink at bay! ⠀ .⠀ I had no idea that my body was in toxic overload & that stinking was optional! ⠀ 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️⠀ I started doing lots of research (#type5 amiright) about body odor, detoxing, natural deodorants, you name it! I just wanted the stinking to stop. ⠀ 🌸🌸⠀ It only took a few years of researching and testing out different deodorants before I finally found the perfect solution - AND NOW I DONT STINK ANYMORE. I kid you not, 5 out of 7 days a week, I don’t even have to wear deodorant because my body just doesn’t produce an odor anymore. ⠀ 🍇🥝💐⠀ Nowadays, I wear deodorant more like a perfume, just to add some extra smelly goodness! ⠀ .⠀ Of course, I’m not going to keep the secret to myself. Everything you need to know is in the link in my bio 😚😚⠀ 📸: @shellyborga

I wish I was a snail. I’d go inside my shell for a while. I’ll only come out when it rains. . I wish I was a hermit crab. I’d curl back inside my home. Maybe I’ll leave this home. I’ll look for a new one. . I wish I was a ball python. I’d curl up around you until I’m a small little ball. You can’t unwrap me. You can’t unwind me. . If only you’d draw me out again. Draw me into the day, into your love. . I don’t want to feel the wind. I don’t want to feel the rain. I don’t want to feel the sun. I want the safety of my own skin. I want the safety of your arms. . I’ll push you away. I’ll hide from you. But all I’m begging is for you to draw me out. Draw me out again.
HOW HAS YOUR 2019 BEEN SO FAR??⠀ .⠀ It’s been a while since I’ve posted on social media 🙊 I wasn’t feeling inspired and I didn’t want to post content that wasn’t authentic, so I’ve stayed quiet. ⠀ 💁🏼‍♀️⠀ But it’s 2019 now, woo! 🎉🎉 It was a bit of a rough start to the year if I’m being honest, but I’m just now starting to get back on track; planning healthy meals, cleaning our house, prioritizing my schedule, being intentional to schedule IN things that are fulfilling, and say NO to things that are not fulfilling. 📖 ✏️ ⠀ .⠀ (Note: fulfillment is NOT always based on what you want, it’s based on what you need. Sometimes I don’t want to do the things that are fulfilling to my soul.)⠀ . ⠀ Now that we’re 2 weeks into 2019, I feel excited and ready for the new year. I might be a lil behind the new year excitement, but hey, we’re all on our own schedules and journeys right? Haha⠀ .⠀ This year I’m looking forward to intentional living, personal and professional growth, and most of all, spiritual growth and closeness with God. 💕⠀ .⠀ P.s. Tim and I just had a photoshoot with Fireside Photography (@alexaschlotty) and it was SO special! I can’t wait to share more photos with you guys. It’s so fun to have photos taken of you with your loved ones - these photos will last a lifetime 💕⠀ ⠀
Wow, this verse is very convicting. 😯⠀ I have never been one to have “enemies” or even hate people; I’ve always been taught to love and forgive, no matter what. ♥️⠀ •••⠀ Yet reading this verse tonight caused me to really stop and think, “Who would be my enemy, if I had one?”⠀ 🤔🧐⠀ Immediately, I think of these; someone who harms my family or friends, someone who continues to harm me or bully me, or someone who steals from me or my family. I believe in those cases, I would consider those people “enemies” if I were in those circumstances. ⠀ •••⠀ The easy thing to do would be to gossip about them or hate them in my heart... but the Bible says to love them. (Note - you can love from a distance; I am NOT saying continue to be harmed or bullied or stolen from, etc.)⠀ •••⠀ So my question to you today is “who is your enemy?” Or who WOULD your enemy be?⠀ 💕⠀ Is it someone who’s a racist? Is it someone who illegally crossed the border? Is it someone who harmed someone who illegally crossed the border? Is it someone with an opposing or even unethical political ideology? ⠀ •⠀ The Lord commands us to LOVE them and do GOOD to them. ⠀ ••⠀ I don’t know about you, but THAT is convicting to me.⠀ •••
360 days of the year, I really can’t stand yogurt. The other 5 days? I crave (plant-based) yogurt daily. I’m not complaining though, I’m totally obsessed with yogurt parfaits, I’ve been eating one every day! It makes for the perfect afternoon snack! 🥥⠀ R E C I P E :⠀ •3/4 cup of plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt (I like coconut!)⠀ •frozen organic blueberries⠀ •granola⠀ •chia seeds⠀ •unsweetened coconut flakes⠀ •pumpkin seeds⠀ •goji berries⠀ •flax seeds⠀ • a small drizzle of maple syrup (or agave nectar for low GI) . . . #healthyliving #veganlife #plantbasedlife #sustainable #sustainablelife #sustainableliving #sierracamelia #veganblogger #ethicalfashionblogger #minimalistfashion #minimalistblogger #minimalism #austinblogger #austinfashionblogger #austinbloggerbabes #fitspo #healthygirls #healthygirlgang #girlpreneur #girlboss #healthyeating #healthyinspiration #healthyhabits #rawvegan #plantbasedrecipes #lowgi #holisticnutrition #holisticlifestyle #yogurtparfait #yogurtbowl
What beautiful creatures 🥰 I cant help but admire God’s creation and praise God. The verse of the day today is, “Everything was created through him and for him.” (Colossians 1:16) and that verse perfectly sums up how I feel about creation. If all of this was created through my Lord and for my Lord, I want to take care of it and respect it as I would if I were in his home. After all, he did create the world and it is his 🙂 I want to do well to steward what he’s placed under me. . . . #healthyliving #veganlife #plantbasedlife #sustainable #sustainablelife #sustainableliving #sierracamelia #veganblogger #ethicalfashionblogger #minimalistfashion #minimalistblogger #minimalism #austinblogger #austinfashionblogger #austinbloggerbabes #fitspo #healthygirls #healthygirlgang #sassymama #austinsassymama #girlpreneur #girlboss #healthyeating #healthyinspiration #healthyhabits #rawvegan #plantbasedrecipes #christianblogger #christianwomen #verseoftheday
