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!!
as a creative who wears all the hats, you have to as a creative who wears all the hats, you have to take actionable steps to embrace your duality. it doesn’t start/stop at the declaration “I’m embracing the process”… you’ve got to put forth the effort. 
send to a homie who needs to hear this! 💜🙌🏾

you might play about your birthday, but I don’t play about mine. 😁
fellow sags, how we feel about this?

the unpredictability of my schedule kept me from p the unpredictability of my schedule kept me from participating in @phillyveganrestaurantweek how i wanted to. but i did manage to skip on over to @chestnuthillbrewingcompany for my favorite vegetal apps 😋 
now, let me say, i've been getting this buffalo cauliflower for some years, but last night they were cooked like somebody's mom was trying to impress the high school football coach 😆💜

you don't feel stuck because you lack ideas it's just that the noise in your head is louder than your vision. 

take the necessary time to unpack so you can get to where you want to go ✨💜

What’s been blocking your flow lately—mentally or emotionally? 👇🏾
commission piece for the tiny one. watch until th commission piece for the tiny one. 
watch until the end for her genuine reaction! 🥹😘 of course, she's already told me what the next one should look like 🙃 

and btw, if you're wondering yes, i'm training a future jr chopped champion 💪🏾💜 #creativemomdiaries #thecolorduchess
so i'm in the space of defining my own family trad so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe. 

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul. 

as a mom, i believe in providing unbiased information about holidays to my offspring.. she's still young, and i'm very comfortable discussing the origins of rituals and symbols. so when i'm asked "why don't you celebrate XYZ holiday" my answer is simple. "that's not what we do."

PS. this farm experience left a lot to be desired. i checked before i pulled up, the reviews were great!! but i'm not people. 🙃
look what i found while prepping for my pop up thi look what i found while prepping for my pop up this weekend✨💜 DM if you see something you like. most items ready to ship
