Dream Life Life

Morning! Lately I've really been trying to switch up my routine outfits (jean skirt, utility jacket, black ballet flats), quick dinners after a long day (black beans, brown rice, carrots and salsa) and my self inflicted stressful chores that really never need to be done daily..maybe just weekly. Do you ever find vacations so relaxing just because of that one thing..your routines are completely changed? I'm trying to channel that thinking in my daily life and it seems to be working. Life is short.
{Oat Groat Fermented Bread, Almond Butter, Avocado, Red Pepper Flakes, Honey and Bee Pollen}
Best combination ever! I made my fermented bread with this recipe but let it ferment for three days since I love the tangy/yeasty flavor of sourdough. I always make a slice just with savory toppings, and the other with sweet. If you haven't ever had fermented bread your in for a treat, and its full of probiotics.
My favorite breakfast lately comprises of fermented foods for my tummy and lots of avocados. I've eliminated fruit from my diet recently because I, once again, have not been feeling well. We will see how it works out but I miss bananas and apples like crazy!!
Speaking of fermented foods...my beloved kombucha brew - this one is an original kombucha brewed in yerba mate - a little sweet for my taste but it's the ultimate gift for a raw foodie like me...which means my mom is getting a special delivery soon :)

{Local Raw Flax Seed Bread and Cashew Hummus Sandwich with California Fermented Kimchi}
I am drooling just looking at this picture again, how can I ever replicate this? It had slices of avocado, fresh organic tomatoes on this divine spread of cashew based hummus and flax seed bread. Oh and I can't forget the onion sprouts! Mmmmm.
{Drink of Lately - Organic Green Tea, Coconut Milk and Stevia}
{Oat Groat Yogurt with White Chia Seeds and Organic Nuts}
{Mustard Greens, Kale, Dandelion Greens, Spinach and Bee Pollen}
Another fantastic combination of my healthy greens and fermented foods. Have you ever heard of white chia seeds? They are the same thing as the black ones but they look pretty in this lightening, no? Nothing like a pure greens drink to wake you up. It was hard to drink down without frozen banana being blended in but I know its best for me right now. And actually I'm getting use to what its like to not over season and over sweeten everything, its therapeutic in a sense.

Still Creative in Spring

Hello there! Miss you little blog! Lately I've wrapped myself around my shop and tumblr and haven't been able to let go and focus here. But that's not to say I haven't been creative and interested with textures, colors and flavors - clothes and food! This girl has been spending as many hours treasure hunting for her shop, eating beet burgers with strawberry "mayo" off green vegan trucks, wearing earth day wish bracelets and attacking $1 bins for a complete wardrobe rehall for under 12 dollars. Here are a few shots I took of my past month so far.. {Local Farm Sun Dried Tomato, Red Chili Paste Veggie Egg White Omelet with Avocado and Micro Greens} Breakfast, lunch, dinner - local eggs, it seems this is all I want lately. If you haven't tried Joy's "simple lunch" yet, your in for a treat, its my future dinner tonight! I'm back on eggs, took them out of my diet for a while because I was feeling awful and my skin wasn't the greatest, but I am going to see if they cause any changes. So far so good, its day three! I know its all about the inside out but also the outside in is important too. If your interested I started a new skin routine now that I am in my twenties - A Perfect World from Origins. Compared to my old over medicated acne dull routine this is fantastic, I can actually feel my skin breathing and glowing. Haven't had any major breakouts yet either! On repeat -tangerine orange, basic zara scruff tees and long detailed boho skirts. I knew some cheetah in there too! Not pictured is my new Steve Madden "flatforms" that I scored for a dollar. Have you heard of flatforms? It's such a silly name for platforms that are more comfy. Must get this ukulele tuned soon, my friend let me borrow it so I can learn to play...I'll let you know how that goes in a few...months ;) Here's that wardrobe rehall I said I did this month..I basic took everything out and only put things I gravitate toward back in..everything else has to be worn regularly to be hung again. If you only knew how much of my clothes are under five dollars. It was a productive month for sure! {Vintage Goodies from My Mom - rusted rabbit mold & tarnished door key from home salvaged shop}

In my little world



In my little world, my shop would be filled with frilly sweet things that would make the toughest girl gush. In my little world, my tumblr would overflow with inspirational treats and desire worthy photos. In my little world, my blog will be the space to hold all my bits and pieces. In my little world, I would wear nothing but adorable patterns and mix my neutrals just perfectly. In my little world, my fridge would be stocked with raw carrot cupcakes and coconut frosting for my taking. In my little world...well a girl can dream right? So lets just pretend your all in my little world just for a moment.


1. Tailored Navy Shorts- they make summer chic, I love these!
2. Bright Red Nail Polish- not too dark, Essie "Lacquered Up" will only due.
3. Whimsical Blouse- something fun and quirky in slate black, so girly!
4. Tortoise Cat Eye Sunnies- enough said, Karren Walker's "Crazy Tort".
5. Structured Striped Blazer- statement piece, love love love!!
6. Simple Gold Necklace- make it personal, Dores necklaces are very dear to my heart.
