started my birthday with THEE most flavorful, well started my birthday with THEE most flavorful, well balanced, and indulgent plant-based meal I’ve had in all my 9 vegan years. 

@fitzon4th is an amazing experience nestled in a very cozy and intimate spot. our server Meg was a breath of fresh air, and her energy set the tone for a relaxing delightful evening. 

I left with nothing to critique (which for me is uncommon—IYKYK 😵‍💫🫠

✨it’s not everyday that you get to meet the woman behind the magic, so it was equally great to give Alison her flowers! 💜

i am counting down until my next visit for more toothsome tapas!!
two things they won’t tell you: vegan is easier two things they won’t tell you: vegan is easier in the summer time, and it’s only easy when you don’t live in a food dessert!! 

don’t let people put the battery in your back to abruptly “go vegan”, you have to equip yourself with information and resources for how you gonna eat. 

you gotta be able to survive and sustain… and you deserve to enjoy good food!

for my planty folk, when did you discover your vegetal romance was over?
If it don’t apply let it fly ♐️♐️♐️😈🙌🏾
you might play about your birthday, but I don’t play about mine. 😁

Somebody will say you can’t be a decent mom AND Somebody will say you can’t be a decent mom AND a successful creative, and you need to ignore them people!! Because first of all, you cannot take advice from people who have never done what you want to do. 

and the truth? 
the child learns so much MORE watching me build than she ever would watching me wait. 

I’m creating with her, but I’m building for us. 

That’s me 💜

if you’re a creative mom/ artist mom navigating this wild ride, I see you girl 💜🤗
