I am feelin goooood after this breakfast 👌🏼😍 Here I have sautéed onions, tomato and kale mixed with quinoa and topped with lemon pepper, salt and a little of my leftover ginger-tahini sauce. Next to it is organic bacon, organic flax bread and a few slices of an orange 😊 YUM 🍅🍊🌿 #organic #food #cleaneating #breakfast #foodideas #recipeideas #breakfastideas #healthyfood #healthylife #healthyeating #fruitsandveggies #eatarainbow #homemade #lovetocook #stayhealthy #foodismedicine #healthcoach (at Boston, Massachusetts)

I'm always trying to figure out what breakfast is best for me. What fills me up, and what gives me energy until lunchtime. My latest experiment was with Chia Pudding, and let me tell you, it is FABULOUS. I combined two recipes, one from @valeskavoiges and the other from #theminimalistbaker. Chia seeds have got to be my favorite superfood! There is so much you can do with them and they have seemingly endless nutritional benefits. Accompanying the chia seeds in this pudding is homemade almond milk, raw cacao powder, dates, maple syrup, cinnamon, sea salt, and served with greek yogurt, raspberries, walnuts, coconut flakes, and banana slices. I'd say it's more of a dessert than a breakfast, but it definitely did the trick 😜 #breakfast #dessert #chiapudding #recipe #fruit #greekyogurt #vegan #vegetarian #healthy #homemade #cleaneating #healthyeating #healthydessert #walnuts #cacao #chiaseeds #superfood #organic #pudding #delicious #lovetocook #food #foodie (at Boston, Massachusetts)

So I've wanted to make my own body-care products for a while now... Face masks, soap, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner. I've had an AMAZING experience using simple plant and earth based ingredients/products to literally #heal my skin and hair. Mostly just coconut oil. And I'm finally starting to experiment with my own creations!! Tonight I made a face mask: bentonite clay, sea salt, matcha, charcoal, coconut oil and lavender. I'm about to wash it off my face and I am SO pumped 😄✌🏼️🎉 #facemask #naturalbodycare #coconutoil #bentoniteclay #activatedcharcoal #lavender #skin #seasalt #naturalingredients #homemade #diy #experimenting #takecareofyourskin #antichemical #nochemicals #clean #plantbased #earthbased #naturalproducts #bodycare #facecare (at Boston, Massachusetts)

What better thing to do during a yoga work-study shift than read about the chakras 😊❤️ I'm loving this little ritual I'm creating for myself! #reading #easternbodywesternmind #anodeajudith #psychology #yoga #yogastudio #yogi #ritual #routine #chakras #pathtoself #discovery #downtime #wednesday #educationtime #thisismyschool #eastmeetswest #happyalmostthanksgiving (at JP Centre Yoga)

When you're working towards something, it's important to go slow and steady. It's more important to do whatever you're doing in a sustainable, realistic way rather than a frantic, ungrounded way. I've been practicing this pose for a while now, and I can touch my top hand to my foot but I choose not to because I'm not in comfortable alignment when I do so. Plus it feels way better to do it this way ☺️👍🏼 #growth #sustainability #yoga #yogi #yogaeverydamnday #sideangle #yogapose #sidebend #stretch #strengthen #yogapants #slowandsteady #practicemakesperfect #fitspiration #inspiration #weekendmotivation #lovetopractice #om #namaste (at Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts)

I'd say that my life is pretty unconventional. After a year of college I was recruited to study a Chinese medicine-based body work at the other end of the country, and since then I've been experimenting with life. I get bored really fast and always want to do and learn new things. Sometimes it gets me in trouble, when I get overwhelmed with the amount of things I have going on. My mission is to find what I love to do as a career-I have no idea what that is right now, but I'm working on accepting that rather than getting upset or trying to rush things. The newest addition to my life is being an instacart shopper! I decided uber driving was just a little too boring, so I'm gonna try shopping for groceries 😜 While my pottery is bringing in some 💰 it's just not quite enough... Plus this business seems super cool!! For all y'all who are feeling lost and confused about where you're going, I am so with you. While it's hard to be in that lost, insecure space, it's also a gift. The universe is pushing you to do greater things. To achieve more in this life. Don't be too hard on yourself and make sure to listen to the subtle signs... #growth #newjob #instacart #artistlife #transformation #dowhatyougottado #professionalgroceryshopper #explore #findwhatyoulove #payattention #signs #spirit #theuniversewilltellyou #experiment #liveyourlife #behumble #subtlesigns #greaterpower #inspiration #motivation #21yearsold #figuringshitout #boston (at Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts)

not quite sure how I managed this hair-do. but I'm kinda liking it 😜 >> never let anyone turn you into someone you're not. "fitting in" is overrated. I've been working so hard to be myself and honor who I am instead of trying to be someone else like I have most of my life. I want to inspire you guys to do the same. and if that means posting a goofy selfie with a weird hair-do like me, so be it 😉❤️ "the greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways" -Buddhist quote. #confidence #beyourself #buddhism #philosophy #growth #selfknowledge #dontconform #honorwhoyouare #selfie #selfiesaturday #begoofy #sillyhair #fitout #inspiration #power #saturdaynightwisdom #easternphilosophy (at Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts)
