Five little amber bottles that have truly earned their place on our winter shelf ♡ 
With my histamine-sensitive body and rosacea-prone skin, most conventional medicine hasn’t been an option for a long time.
These gentle plant rituals simply work better in our family (no flares, no fog, no regrets). 

Swipe if you’ve been looking for the same quiet relief. 🌿 #herbology #cleanliving

I find there’s too many people suffering from poorly fit bras. 😤 They ride up, stab you, and make your boobs look like they’re plotting an escape. Say NO to torture devices and YES to Eby’s wire-free, lift-like-magic bras. Your wardrobe deserves better. See my stories for my faves. #brareview #bra #wirelessbra #brafitting

Postpartum and pregnancy skincare ▶️ Boy was my skin reactive while I was pregnant. I had to go beyond the recommended exclusion list! If you have #sensitiveskin this list is for you too—I wish I had paid attention to pregnancy skincare lists before I was pregnant because it eliminated a lot of things I was sensitive to. Just wrote about the @ziipbeauty microcurrent tool that I think is finally getting me my best skin yet. Saving my skin while not using retinol. See my stories for links! #pregnancyskincare #postpartumjourney #pregnancybeyond #pregnant

Pesto Tortellini with Caramelized Peaches! 🍑 
Tomatoes, you’re not invited to my @taste_republic pasta party! 🍅 Over the past couple years I’ve been moving away from putting tomatoes on everything and this recipe did not disappoint. This is a one skillet recipe you can make in under 30 minutes. I put some alternative ideas (pumpkin!) to peaches on the recipe blog post (bio link). 
.
With pasta this good, telling anyone my cheese tortelloni was gluten-free and certified plant-based was a need-to-know basis. That way, all my Vegan and meat-loving friends could both enjoy with zero extra work on my part. It’s so good, it’ll make you forget all about tomatoes and gluten!💃 #wholefoods #tasterepublicatwholefoods #tasterepublic #notomatoes #glutenfreerecipes #easyrecipes #healthyish #easydinner #asmr #eat

Baby girl photobomb 💣 3 months in and I’m still amazed that we get to participate in the making of a life. Before this year, we were always waiting for the perfect time to have kids. Now I know, perfect doesn’t exist in these intangibles. It’s my little girl that’s perfect. How wonderful life is now you’re in the world. #mommyandme #newmom

I love you already and I haven’t even met you. Your sweet gentle spirit gets me through the roughest morning sickness, aches, and stretching in ways I never knew my body could go. Yet every time you move you remind me of God’s goodness that you are being knitted together fearfully and wonderfully.  What a gift it is that I get to secretly bond with you for months before seeing your sweet face. Can’t wait to meet you my little miracle. #babygirl set to make her debut 3-14-23

We explored Los Angeles with @gocity and WOW! am I amazed at the big ticket items included in our passes. So much fun! We went on a Warner Bros. studio tour and hopped across the street to Universal and did their tour in the amusement park as well. Downtown, we had a blast exploring Hollywood and Highland, the Walk of Fame, Madame Tussaud’s, the Chinese Theatre… Six Flags was included too. #gocity gave us each things we loved to do. If you haven’t been to Los Angeles before, don’t forget to save some time to shop Melrose and eat at @crossroadskitchen for a best kept LA secret. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #gocitypartner

NEW POST #Upontheblog | Ever since I wrote about "How I got rid of my 11 lines" I've been getting a lot of questions about #redlighttherapy. Well...I'm on my third tool and I finally feel like I found "the one." That holy grail product that does it all. I never would've believed one tool could help me even my skin tone, help with my rosacea, get rid of hormonal acne and wrinkles, and even help me with muscle pain. WHAT!?! WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE. I'm telling you all about How I use this amazing tool on my site. Or @shop.ltk #liketkit #ltk

Where my Moulin Rouge lovers at? I had such a great anniversary celebration at the Vibiana #revivetheshow last night. Still trying to figure out how Chef Neal Fraser created melt-in-your-mouth sous vide filet mignon texture while still tasting charbroiled. So good I need a lesson so I can make it at home! 😋 If you’re in #losangeles get 20% off your tickets using code REVIVESOCIAL

I went swimming in the ocean, but when I left, the ocean didn’t say goodbye. It just waved. 
🌊🌊🌊
Really enjoyed a nice long social media break, but it’s given me the opportunity to really live! I’d love to know one good, glass-half-full thing you guys did that you wouldn’t have done if we didn’t go through a pandemic. For me, it was going to the Maldives. Never woulda happened if we didn’t have the pandemic. Read about my trip and the resort on www.thevanillaplum.com
