Happy Tuesday friends!! Time for another coffee date!! This month’s coffee date is at our Temple Coffee on K St. here in Sacramento!! I wanted to change things up a little and share a few things that I am currently loving!! I would love to hear your thoughts on what I “love” as well as what you are loving in the comments below!

CURRENTLY LOVING:

*This song:  “So will I” Sung by Amanda Cook!! Oh man… do yourselves a favor and listen!! SO SO good! Has been on major repeat here in this house!!

*These boots.  Currently at the top of my wish list! Can we say, statement?! LOVE!

*Waking up before 5.  Lately this has been my most productive time! As long as I am in bed by 1030 I can do a 445 wake up, get some work done and head to the gym.

*This dress.  Perfect mix of comfy and cute! Easy to throw on and go!

*Cauliflower Rice.  This is kinda new to me?! I tend not to venture out a ton with foods but I am now a big fan! I made a huge stir fry with cauliflower rice for lunch this week!! Its the best because you get pretty full without all the crazy calories!  I love zoodles as well!

*These Hair Products for the girls! Liz reached out to me on IG and recommended this product for the girls! I am a fan! I have noticed a difference in just a few washes.  They have different curl patterns but both frizz quite easily.  This product has helped with controlling the frizz and defining their curls.

*This bag.  Perfect size and price tag!! Yass!!

*This Cause.  Soap Box Soaps: With every soap purchased, soap is given to a community in need, both here and abroad! Yes please! They also do a lot of education in the area of illness prevention and cleanliness. I just received some samples and we are in love with all of the products!

On to this dress!! My dress is from Karina dresses! I wear these dresses for work several times per week! They are SO flattering and comfy! I am hooked! You can see other dresses in my Karina Dress Collection here, here and here!

That’s it for now!! If you are interested in reading last months coffee date, you can read it here! Happy Tuesday! Have an amazing week!!

    Damn girl, 4:45?! I don’t think I could do it lol but that is awesome that you can! That’s definitely a goal of mine to be more productive and wake up earlier. Love that cause! I work for a non profit and am totally passionate about that kind of stuff 🙂

    This is a stunning wrap dress. I love the wrap dress trend right now and I need to get one – they remind me of my ballerina days!

    Okay, first… your pictures!!! They’re beautiful!!!
    And second, I’m envious about your 5am wake ups. I used to be able to wake up at 6am but eventually it got worse and worse and now I struggle to even wake up at 7am (thank God my work allows flex shifts!). I’m working on getting back on track and waking up early again because I remember just how productive I was having an earlier start.

  14. Debbie Savage says

    omg up before 5? I struggle with a 7:15 wake up call some days! If you like sweet potatoes, you should try spiralizing them too. They work great in any kind of asian sauce, my fave is Thai peanut sauce with sweet potato noodles and a ton of veggies on top

    I love the ensemble, you wear it well. I also started eating cauliflower rice to replace those carbs that are mean to my midsection. Thanks for the idea on a stir fry dish, and I haven’t even heard of zoodles. Will check it out!!!

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️
Join us for a fun and inspiring conversation with Join us for a fun and inspiring conversation with our good friend @beckyfoxjohnson as we talk about navigating life as a strong female leader!!!💛
Becky is a phenomenal example of pioneering in spaces without a clear roadmap, breaking barriers, and leading with confidence!

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending some quality time with other incredible creators at a retreat with @parkermanagement 🤍 It really felt like a retreat for my soul ✨Napa is also reallly good at forcing you to slow down and take in the gorgeous views 😌

Spending time with these wonderful humans this week reminded me that I still belong here, even though I might not look like everyone else (or feel like I fit in) that’s the beauty of it all right?

I think after doing something for a very long time and in this space specifically, it’s easy to feel imposter syndrome, self doubt and the inability to “keep up”. Although an app or an industry has changed over time it’s so important to stay true to yourself.

 So grateful for this time away & I’m leaving with my cup overflowing! God is always on time with these types of things. Just when we need another boost or some encouragement, He sends all the right people your away! He is just good like that 🤩

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️
