| For The HSPs Who Need This Message | Freedom, and the willingness to be you and seek your truth is empowering, but sharing it? This is frightening to me. It takes bravery. It also has consequences, but ones I’m willing to fight and allow if necessary • So, I love a good transition. The vulnerability. The delicacy. The willingness to not give one fuck simply for the sake of continual growth. 🌸🌿 Now that’s hard for someone who’s only been recently practicing allowing their Voice to emit from a place that feels so uncomfortable, but it’s the only direction I can go towards. Not only that, but when you’ve had a suppressed voice since childhood, this is a voice to be HEARD and it’s a strong one. How frightening for some to realize they have no power over you after all. In the past I would have retreated from sharing my vulnerability & of course, my inner strength out of fear of my own power making others feel small, but now? Why should I shy away from sharing my growing pains and my successes? What’s so daunting about it- People shaming me? Gaslighting? Feeling inadequacy? In the human experience, you may get quite a bit of that, but in my space, If you want in, we just don’t have time for that. We’re moving on to bigger and better things, and this time we’re not apologizing. *huge sigh* because we got a life to LIVE ya’ll. Embrace & emanate it. Everyone is dying for a taste of your willingness to be real. Sure people want to see you fail, those people are NOT YOUR people. And if you’re one of them, I want nothing to do with you. For my highly sensitive people, guess what, you don’t need to tolerate any of that either. As someone who was labeled as “the nice one” or “the quiet one”, don’t feel like you need to stay inside anyone’s confines of what and who you REALLY are. You’re a fucken BEAST. Be rough. Be indelicate. if it’s necessary for others to see the wall between what is you and what is them. Declare a definitive boundary, and if they are worthy, let YOUR people in. 💗 And of course, I can’t help but end with my feelings- I love you all so dearly. Thank you for all you have tolerated and endured thus far. We’re much stronger people because of it. xoxo 💋

As some of you know, I’ve been spending a little of my time to help Vanessa, owner of Mahina Pua Farms (in Hawaiian, “Mahina” = Moon | “Pua” = flower) operating her beautiful CSA for our friends and family. She is the mother and labored behind several farms, two of which are grown on someone else’s front yard! My reward? It’s food. That’s all I wanted, no cash, I just want her fresh grown food. 🤣👌✨ If anyone here on the island of O’ahu is looking/wanting to volunteer, she is open! Simply shoot me a DM to get in touch with her. 😘✨ (at Waimanalo, Hawaii)

Many of you have noticed in my IG stories, I really love to cook a good meal. And my cooking skills have never been the best, but now I can confess with confidence, I can cook you a damn good meal. I admire preparation in the process of making something nutritious to feed the very cells which allow me to be able to type pain-free & converse with my peeps today. My first introduction to the world of herbal medicine began in May of 2011, which also inspired me to see food in a new light. Some “days” (energy levels/mind/skin/emotions) are cloudy, while others seem so clean & clear. It’s becoming more obvious to me how these “days” have been directly linked to WHAT & HOW I eat. Over the years, I’m noticing improvements in my overall health when I eat in an “intuitive way” (a big, popular topic) with an emphasis towards holistic nutrition, rather than typical money-driven fads/diets *yawn*, fiercely counting my calories or giving in to over stimulated taste buds that are on the search for novelty. Nervous for this next step? So was I. So I highly suggest getting a blood test if you or a loved one are unsure whether one has the optimum nutritional levels necessary for one’s body. I am no doctor, but I definitely know taking responsibility for what you put IN & ON your body (as many of you already know & hear daily) is critical, it’s your wealth, and I hope you’re treating yourself like the Queen you are. I don’t know about you, but I am most definitely at my worst & don’t perform at all my best when I am not taking responsibility for how I choose/react/control my life. As triggering as it may be for some, it is a crucial step towards understanding what you are capable of bringing into your life & to those around you. Don’t give in if you have the option not to. You have a lot of support, and the journey towards being your best self doesn’t stop unless you do. You know I’m all about self-growth, whatever that means to you. As long as you genuine love, care and actively support yourself, regardless of whether others do or don’t. 🔥👏🏽✨ I love you all! xoxo

| S i m p l i c i t y | As someone who I would consider “a complex creature” (aren’t we all), Im finding simplicity has quickly become a familiar space in which I can come back to, where I feel nourished, my needs are met and the desires come as they intend to when I work along side Life as my co-pilot but I am the one driving. The digestion in my body & my mind are slowly finding themselves leaning more towards the quality of ease, gradual movements & a more grounded approach to life. So my goal is living simplistically and artistically, whatever form that takes. (intentional living + loving, “hygge”, “minimalism” (keeping only what you love/need/use), health-centered protocols, or just simply being a nice person without all the unnecessary categories.) This doesn’t mean retreating away, it means coming back to you. Your loved ones who want the best for you will respect you for that. I’m finding such admiration for what people would consider the mundane, like a next plant I want to grow & care for, cooking a good meal (pictured is pesto!) or a nice stress-free walk to ponder my priorities for what I want to bring to Life and what it is I want/choose to experience. Like, I find genuine excitement when I am doing my morning and evening routines (as someone who is Vata dominant, routines did not form easily!) There is so much to say, but I’ll just leave it as, I’m really loving this dedicated process I am building for myself. If you’re an “unbalanced giver”, I highly suggest to help shift your focus into creating a feedback loop so you are more than nourished/well fed and able to share from a space of abundance instead of a space of lack. Out of curiosity, how many of you follow a morning and evening routine? (I don’t care if it isn’t everyday, as long as you dedicate time for you.) What is something unique (that you would like to share) in your way of giving back to yourself? I would love to know! 💗✨

As someone who’s practically always considered themselves a complex creature (man, aren’t we all), Im finding (makes sense, I’ve been a “minimalist” for two years now), simplicity has quickly become a familiar space in which I can retreat to, to feel properly nourished where my needs seem satisfied, but hardly ever over-stimulated (something I thought I was immune to, boy was I wrong). It’s a huge step towards setting boundaries FOR yourself. The digestion in my body & my mind are slowly finding themselves leaning more towards the quality of ease, gradual movements & a more grounded approach to life. This doesn’t mean retreating away, it means coming back to you, without all the unnecessary crap we dragged in through the door. We can leave that stuff outside when we’re ready to deal with that. I’m finding such admiration for what people would consider the mundane, like a next plant I want to grow & care for, or a nice stress-free walk to ponder my priorities for what I want to bring to Life and what it is I want to experience. Like, I find genuine excitement when I am doing my morning and evening routines (as someone who is Vata dominant, this does not come easy!) There is so much to say, but I’ll just leave it as, I’m really loving this dedicated process I am building for myself. If you’re an “unbalanced giver”, I highly suggest to help shift your focus into creating a feedback loop so you are almost always nourished/well fed and able to share from a space of abundance instead of lack. Out of curiosity, how many of you follow a morning and evening routine? (I don’t care if it isn’t everyday, as long as you dedicate time for you.) What is something unique (that you would like to share) in your way of giving back to yourself? I would love to know! 💗✨

I have some of the most beautiful, wise, & empathetic individuals ‘following’ me here (a term I’m really turned off by, but holy, I mean that.) My heart is swooning. It almost doesn’t know what to do with itself. 😅 It’s people like you where my doubts and insecurities feel as if they no longer reign me, and instead learning to make peace with them knowing this is exactly what I need in order to serve the growth/expansion of ones self (whatever that concept is for you). I’m really feeling this. In the end, I’m asking for the extra (needed) push to get stronger. Funny, because I have been having this feeling to put myself “out there” more, and express- not suppress my Voice. I have A LOT to talk about with you all. This is going to be interesting. 😉 I can’t wait to share even more of what I’ve been learning, my ideas/creations, the behind the scenes of my life, tips/tricks/DIY’s and of course sharing my words. This is my space after all. I’m not stopping you from the door! 👍🏽✨ Please note, I do have boundaries with social media, so pressuring myself to be super active on here isn’t an option, there is much to do and much to enjoy in life! 💗✨ But it does look like you’ll be seeing more of me, after all. 😘 THANK YOU for reaching out.. everyone. I read + replied to nearly every comment. I couldn’t resist. Yesterday, I left my phone to do some much needed “shadow work” but I literally FELT many of you sending and flooding me with positivity/insane high vibes/and straight up LOVE. It was unreal, but as an HSP this kind of stuff isn’t new for me. I definitely cried a lot in the beginning, but I cried even more when I realized how much support I truly have, when I went so far in my mind as to believe I didn’t. Allow this experience to show you, you can get up and stand up no matter how many obstacles ‘distract’ you (see how I worded that?) from your highest joy, as life itself isn’t consistent; its seasonal, it shifts, it evolves from its past/present moments- filled with stunning/frightening surprises and inevitable inconsistencies. As daunting as it is, it really is something I secretly, but deeply admire about life. ✨😍💘 Im also posting this at 2:22pm.

💗✨ “All it is is fighting learned behavior.” Damn. What a quote. Something that’s been quite prevalent in my life. Thank goodness for living foods, good people & a mind that, in the end, only wants to love you. 🌸

Here I am, as I am. No caption necessary, as it’ll only limit the perception of what simply IS. ✨🌿 (at 天龍寺)

Sweet musings of delicate, fragile yet resilient cycle-creators. Sound familiar? Remember when succulents were huge like two years ago? Yep, I do too. 😅 Well, the other day I noticed a little, fractal-like succulent in my parents yard near their BBQ, and now I finally have a few more babies to create a whole new cycle of life. I completely forgot how much these little beings made my heart swell! I remember when I first began Prana Potions, I even had a listing for three little succulent babies to add to your parcel so you may grow you own. 💗😋 Also, what do you think I’ve got going on in the back? 😉 I would love to hear your answer. Your first instinctual guess may even be the correct one. 💡✨ P.S. 🇯🇵 The shop is closed for now! I’ll be in Japan from March 21st to April 1st! The shop will be back open on April 1st @ 2:30pm HST (Hawaii Time). Catch our adventures in Japan in my stories if you’d like to see little glimpses of this beautiful island(s).

Thank you for dealing with my weird ass! 😊 I just had to share as I hardly ever catch Ian (The Bean) modeling, so snapping this is a rare find. 😭👌🏽 (at Ka'au Crater)

✨🌀💛 It’s been a while! You’ll most likely see me a little more active on IG stories. 😊 For many of us, time away from the digital ethos (social media + information overload (personally, a work in progress)) can help accelerate profound inner/outer growth. Ive noticed where we grow, metaphorically speaking, depends on what plant we water, which wolf we feed, or which thought we persistently believe in for ourselves. • Life Update: Recently, My partner and I have moved where we found one of the sweetest spots in a lush valley of Hawai’i. I’ve been learning to adjust my thoughts/actions to help balance my time more efficiently, been decanting (straining) some potent tinctures for the ship(now gluten-free!), wrote a little article for a local magazine, managing the finances (repetitious af), working a total of three businesses (two of which are owned by my family + one of which is Prana Potions! 😘) and now, my only focus today is to rest, replenish + nourish. 🙏🏽😌 • Sound familiar? Perhaps it’s one of those days for you, as well. I’m curious, what are some of your favorite ways of self nourishment? Obviously there are too many to list, but perhaps the ones you practice which actually make you feel alive again. 🦋✨ • A few of my favorites: Drinking more water, admiring the craft, the progress & the goals I’ve accomplishments (wonderful if you have experienced ‘impostor syndrome’), stretching, starting a new art/concoction/mini project while listening to interviews, online classes or podcast & my absolute favorite- spending quality time with my loved ones. 😊👌🏽✨ • Also, ain’t this little lilikoi species simply a babe? I couldn’t help but share her. 🌈😭✨ (at Honolulu, Hawaii)

I simply had to have her once I spotted her at Jen’s powerful shop: @NaturalMagics 🌈💫

P l a n t - M a g i c k : What a vixen, a sweet sensual delicacy. I’ll admit, I’m not the greatest person at marketing myself, or marketing in general, but I’ve been asked to do an update whenever I have new batches of concoctions freshly whipped up. I’ve got many new batches of my beloved plant potions in my Etsy Shop right now if any of you desire! (: I am also having a 15% OFF sale running in my Etsy from today (Jan 1st - Jan 3rd) ✨🌿😊 Photo is of our sweet Sattva Empath Oil! Mahalo Nui Loa! Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! (at Oahu)

A Fresh New Start: I'm pretty damn ready to phase into 2018 with ease and contentment. Man, have I learned a lot about how much of 'me' is me this year. I dedicate this up coming year (which is, and has always been now) to the rebirthing of myself; from all angles, all facets and all aspects of my being which I had seemed to neglect. It's the moment you realize you were working so hard to help, please, nourish & love others when you come to the conclusion that you have been neglecting the very primal needs of our own. I found myself again in 2017 where I realized a lot of the dark, yet a tremendous amount of bright light within the layers of my past/present/potential. For me, 2018 is going to be my year for expansion with no expectation, stepping out of my snuggly comfort zone, and to physicalize my most cherished projects especially when it comes to Prana Potions. As many of you could have guessed, Prana Potions took a break this past year especially on social media, and even though I lost many folks in the process, I gained even more close relationships, and more abundance in the story of my own humble life and I wouldn't change that for the world. Moderation, active deep breathing & spending real time with yourself (alone) has been a GOD SEND for me this year. I also learned a LOT about truly trusting and following my intuition. My close family knows how honored I am to have so many of you supporting my biggest passion. I cannot stress this enough to you guys... I can't imagine where I would be without the continuous copious amounts of LOVE, support, honest feedback & beautiful friendships I have created along the way. You guys literally supported me when I decided to take a breather from over-working and over-stressing myself, even when I said I would be back with new products for you all. That's dedication, and your trust, encouragement & confidence in me makes me more grateful to be alive than I can fully acknowledge to you now. Fortunately with Prana Potions, I am currently managing several projects, I have written and created quite a few new creations & already have some collaborations installed for this next year! ☟ Continued in the Comments ☟ (at Honolulu, Hawaii)

I’m having a boomin’ 30% OFF SALE TODAY! 🌺🌈✨ The discount should be applied to my entire Etsy shop, feel free to come on in. 😍 I’m noticing some products are already becoming sold out.. oh my goodness THANK YOU ALL for treating yourselves while literally supporting me on the other end! 😭🙌🏽✨ I cannot even..

I cannot WAIT to get started on bundling each and everyone of your orders. 🙏🏾💛✨ My heart goes out to YOU.
