Happy Saturday ✌🏼 Grateful I have a job that allows me to dye my hair crazy colors and then detox the chemical exposure by using essential oils 🤣 It’s all about balance y’all! And it had been nearly 2.5 years since I had put any color on my hair, so I was ready for a little change :) . . . #austinblogger #womenbusinesses #girlboss #christianblogger #plantbasedblogger #sierracamelia #womenleaders #christianencouragement #christianentrepreneur #christianblog #christianwomen #bossbabesatx #femalecreatives #womensupportingwomen #bossbabes #girlbosses #austincreatives #austinentrepreneur #youareenough #youareworthy #motivationquote #workfromhomelife #entreprenuergang #magentahair #lorealcolorista #coloristabarcelona #coloristaporamor #purpleombre #pinkombre #curlygirlsrock
You don’t need a guy to show you your worth.... But if you do find one, wait for the right one.. Wait for the one who sees your flaws and shows you his, too. Wait for the one who sees you fall and helps you back up. Wait for the one who sees your value when you can’t. Wait for the one who forces you to stay on track when you feel like quitting. You are worth it. 💕 📸: @kendallnicolestudios
Hi 👋🏼 If you’re new here, my name is Sierra, and I used to have a problem with alcohol.⠀ ⠀ I’ve been sober for 5 years now, and most days I don’t even really think twice about it. Some days, though, the struggle is R E A L.⠀ ⠀ Last night, I was scrolling IG and saw some friends post some stuff with alcoholic beverages. I didn’t really think much about it, but when I fell asleep, I had a dream I was mixing drinks and drinking them, and I woke up with the enemy telling me 100 reasons why it’s okay for me to drink now. ⠀ “It’s been 5 years, after all... I’ve grown out of that.” ⠀ “I have better self control now, it wouldn’t hurt to just have one.” ⠀ “I’m more health conscious now, so I wouldn’t go overboard like I used to....”⠀ ⠀ Those justifications started popping up in my head and quickly escalated to me craving alcohol, first thing in the morning. And maybe some of them are valid, but the fact that I woke up craving alcohol shows me where my weakness still is... and why would I even entertain the idea of something God has already delivered me from?!⠀ ⠀ It’s been five years, guys. That’s a pretty good amount of time not having a single SIP, and not giving into the craving a single time, yet the craving is still there sometimes. ⠀ ⠀ I woke up feeling anxious today that I’m still here, 5 years later. There are still some days when choosing sobriety is hard, like today. Yet, even in the struggle, I have to remember how far I have come and all that God has delivered me from. ⠀ ⠀ God has given me strength to say “no” for over 1,900 days. He has healed me from addictions, self-loathing, shame, and so much more. He’s given me an amazing husband, an incredible church family, an amazing dog, bunny, a beautiful house, a great job, great health and a passion for helping others overcome their hurdles. ⠀ ⠀ So even though I woke up craving alcohol today, I have to remind myself that I am not my past. I am a new person, one who is free of alcohol dependency, and pursuing greater things. I have come a long way. ⠀ If you’re struggling with something today, remind yourself of where you once were and where you are now. Celebrate how far you have come!!
Nothing important to say today, except I scored these heels from @poshmark and now I’m looking for any excuse to go out in heels 😍 ⠀ ...Problems when you work from home 🤣 . . . #ethicalfashionblogger #austinfashionblogger #sustainablefashion #sustainableliving #ecofriendlyfashion #ecofriendlydairy #minimalism #minimalistfashion #minimalistblogger #austinblogger #atxblogger #atxlife #atxlifestyle #womenbusinesses #girlboss #christianblogger #veganblogger #plantbasedblogger #luxuriouslifestyle #ethicalfinds #shopfairtrade #zerowastehome #minimalistwardrobe #styletips #ethicallysourced #ethicalstyle #ethicalwardrobe #secondhandstyle #shopsecondhand #stopfastfashion
@daniaustin posted a pic the other day and asked “what is the first thing you say to yourself when you see yourself in the mirror?”⠀ ⠀ Do you criticize every thing? or do you think “hey, that’s a good lookin person right there!”? ⠀ ⠀ Today, I was feeling good in front of the mirror. I thought I was looking pretty and my curls are looking healthier, so I decided to take a photo and document it. But then... I couldn’t take a picture I liked 🙈I started criticizing every little thing about my face. ⠀ If I saw this person, I’d probably think she’s kinda pretty, but me looking at it as myself, I want to criticize every little thing.. like how my eyebrows need some help, how my pores are big, my chin is breaking out, and my cheeks are so wide. But lo, this is me... and if this were someone else, I would think she’s kinda pretty. So I’m posting it anyway...mostly to document my hair journey, and secondly to get over my own criticisms of myself. ⠀ ⠀ After all, we are more than our image 😋 outer beauty is great, but real beauty comes from the heart.
Chocolate Banana Nice Cream; when ya want a treat but also want to be kind to your body 😋 ⠀ For real though, this was really tasty, and has the husband stamp of approval ✅⠀ ⠀ HOW TO MAKE:⠀ • 2 frozen bananas⠀ • 1 tsp vanilla extract⠀ • 3 tbsp cocoa powder⠀ • almond milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk) - tbh I have no idea how much I used, I just blended and added more until I got the desired consistency.⠀ ⠀ BLEND IT TOGETHER AND VOILÀ! I used my ninja food processor but you could probably use any kind of high speed blender 😋⠀ Would you try nice cream?
DEAR FRIEND,⠀ ⠀ If you’re reading this, I want to encourage you today to give yourself PERMISSION to be hated by people. It’s O K A Y. Give yourself permission to relentlessly follow after God at the expense of being liked by strangers. Give yourself permission to be that crazy, “in love with God” person that people make fun of. Give yourself permission to stop caring what the world thinks of you, and focus on following the one who made you 💕 ⠀ 2019 is the year that I am DONE caring what the world says about me. This isn’t an “in-your-face” attitude. Rather, it’s an attitude of, "I’m going to seek to honor the love of my life (God) by holding steadfast to who he says I am and what he has called me to do!”⠀ ⠀ As a blogger, there’s SUCH a big temptation to people please, be approachable, and tolerate so much nonsense for the sake of trying to be liked by the world, and honestly, I’m just so done with this mentality! ⠀ ⠀ I aim to be loving and accepting of all (Romans 12:9-21 is my guide!) but I refuse to compromise the truth to make someone else comfortable. If you’re uncomfortable, or even if I’M uncomfortable, that’s OKAY. ⠀ ⠀ We have to learn to embrace discomfort and talk about things, guys! We can’t just agree with everything or stay silent when something stands completely contrary to the truth. ⠀ ⠀ BE CONFIDENT IN WHO GOD CALLED YOU TO BE. Stop caring what the world thinks. ⠀ ⠀ The Bible says the world will hate those who follow him. Why should we try so hard to be loved by the world when God clearly tells us the world won’t love us because of the way we live as a Christ follower?⠀ ⠀ Jesus was LITERALLY perfect. He loved God the most anyone ever could, and he loved PEOPLE the most anyone ever could. He was kind, gentle, patient, loving, long-suffering, yet people HATED him so much that an entire counsel voted to KILL him because of who he is. If they treated Jesus like this, how can we expect to be treated any differently? ⠀ If it comes to pleasing people or pleasing God, I will choose to please God EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. He gave the world for me, so my only response can be to give everything back to him.
What are your favorite quick & healthy meals to make on the “too-tired-to-cook” days? I need recipe ideas!😋 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 I’ve been in a weird rut with eating lately.

I’m needing some quick & easy staple recipes to make on the days when I’m really tired and have zero energy to cook! . . #healthyliving #veganlife #plantbasedlife #sustainable #sustainablelife #sustainableliving #sierracamelia #veganblogger #minimalistfashion #minimalistblogger #fitspo #healthygirls #healthygirlgang #healthyeating #healthyinspiration #healthyhabits #plantbasedrecipes #holisticnutrition #holisticlifestyle #essentialoilswork #naturalhealing #organicmatcha #matchatea #wholefoodplantbased #lifestylecoach #naturallivingcoach #sustainablelivingcoach #nontoxicliving #holisticcoaching #easyveganmeals
