remember, we don’t always know what’s going on below the surface — can you spot the baby? I repotted a bunch of plants tonight that just needed bigger homes, I was worried about this snake plant. But when I removed it from its tiny pot I was so pleased/surprised to find a baby next to her. Growing even in tough conditions, can’t wait to see what this plant does because it’s in a much better suited pot to grow ✨

• quick snake plant facts 👇🏼
🐍 they filter indoor air, even at night
🐍they remove and absorb toxic pollutants
🐍 having plants in your home or workspace can improve mental health
🐍 this plant is super easy to care for, low light and minimal water
🐍this plant is believed to absorb negative energies it has been used in Feng shui ( according to the Chinese) * I love different belief systems — and that one is amazing // fascinating.

fun right?! This is a great plant for a beginner // someone who might forget to water, it is mildly toxic, so keep it away from things that nibble in your house! 🙆🏼‍♀️

I’m so happy with how the herbs did in my raised bed over winter — I just left them go at the end of the season and now I’ve got a TON of sage, parsley, oregano, and thyme ☺️

I’ve already made a fresh sage pesto and I’m definitely going to be drying a lot of oregano!

In the past I’ve done a big out door garden but I’ve kinda scaled it back these past few years. My goal one day is to have everything in raised beds 😎🙆🏼‍♀️

I love healing properties of herbs, sage is one of my favorite, the fact that it’s known to clear and cleanse spaces is my favorite thing about it, but it’s also SO TASTY, i definitely prefer eating it fresh

Some of this tasty herbs lovely properties include 👇🏼

Relieving headache and sore throat pain.
Reducing oxidative stress in the body.
Protecting against free radical damage.
Reducing inflammation.
Protecting against bacterial and viral infections.
Supporting digestion.
Protecting against memory loss.
Reducing depression or improving mood.

Tulips are my favorite ✨ I feel like I’m really starting to get the hang of steaming milk // pouring, I really got to spend some time yesterday pouring and when I started pouring this I heard my boss say, “ Oh OKKKK “ 😂 then she snapped a picture, thanks for being my latte art hype girl ❤️‍🔥😎

Grand opening was yesterday and It was so fun working, we were busy, it felt so good to see a line building, people laughing, talking, and simply enjoying the space.

the support around is so wonderful, and I’m happy to be a part of this team // community 🥹🤍

im still trying to figure out how I want to show up on this page for you all, So just thanks for being here for the ride💡

there’s just somethin bout that 8am light through the glass block windows 😌

iced cafe miel in my hand here, Spanish for coffee with honey 🙂 basically an iced honey cinnamon latte +++ we use local

little update : I’m loving the coffee world // my new job, I’m very happy to be back taking care of the public. I’ve learned that there is a ton of science involved when it comes to coffee, and that there is something incredibly beautiful and ritualistic about the process of making a proper cup

It’s kinda reframed how I see coffee, and even what I like to drink, I never would touch a light roast before this job. we have a Kenya light roast that is literally so amazing and so fruit forward you can actually taste the mango notes that come thru 😎 LIKE HOW COOL!?

Anyways, If you’re in the Akron area, come see me. We’re open Monday - Saturday from 7-3 — 798 grant street

I’m ready for summer time and these goof balls— trailer days are getting closer😍

if you don’t know I help my girl during the summer time at her trailer they’re literally amazing best smoothie bowls you’ll ever have in your LIFE. The end. I’ll fight you over it.

I was scrolling through pictures and came across this one.

It just made my heart soar, and made me stop and think that often times the best moments, the life we’ve dreamed of, it’s happening around us all the time, RIGHT NOW, soak it up, we only get each moment one time ✨

coming to a coffee shop near you 😏

First time sharing this here. Ya girl is the barista supervisor and I’m really really excited about it.

when told me about a possible opportunity, I didn’t hesitate to reach out. The burn out I am experiencing with food has been building for a while and this year just accelerated it.

I needed change but I knew I needed to take care of people. I knew I wanted the service industry but I didn’t want to just take a job cooking. And that’s something I never thought I’d feel and it’s so weird.
* not saying I’m not ever gonna cook professionally again, ya girl just needs a break

Coffee is a craft I’ve always been curious about. I’ve always wanted to learn more, pour latte art, and just understand coffee. I think it’s so cool, and it’s so much more than Starbucks // Folgers with extra cream and sugar. It’s more than just a drip pot, it has this ritual, sacred component that I just love.

As a result of Tya and my own curiosity… I’ve found and the coolest humans behind it 🥺🤎🙆🏼‍♀️

I’ve learned SO MUCH in the past two weeks and I can’t wait to just step into this role, this community, this space.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this good doing something. I’m so excited to pour drinks// take care of humans; work with my team.

this page will still share food, but coffee, and things too ✨

this is your reminder that our journey here isn’t linear, it’s best if we simply buckle up, take hold of the steering wheel, and get ready to drive.

ill share when you can come see me!
it’s soon 🙆🏼‍♀️😈❤️

PS the latte art in the last photo is not my own but either Daniel or B — who are my very talented latte art pouring bosses

Life update : this past week was the last week I’ll be running meal prep orders, at this time I’m taking a step back from my business.

Being here at 405 in my very own kitchen has been nothing short of amazing. I’m so very grateful for all of you and I filled orders on Tuesday with the fullest heart.

my decision to step away at this time isn’t sad for me, but more happy in realizing that something just isn’t working for me ; and making the decision to do something about it. Sometimes I sit in my own misery 😆

I learned throughout this chapter of my life. that people to people interaction is something I need daily. Working alone this past year has taken a toll on my mental health, and I really underestimated my need for daily human contact. It’s been a hard thing for me to grapple with and realize.

Your mental health and well being is important. The most important thing.
It’s okay. Very okay, if you start doing something and then decide you don’t want to do it anymore. It’s okay to change. It’s okay to grow and expand. It’s okay to be your authentic self, in all moments. It’s okay to continually search for happiness, and move on from something when it is no longer serving you.

Whatever you choose, it’s all okay, and it’s enough. This page is still going to be here, I’ll just be showing up in a slightly different way. I hope you stay tuned for the journey.

Most importantly, I hope you eat the foods that make your soul happy, I hope you eat til you’re full, and I hope you enjoy your food with the ones you love.

Bare feet, mushrooms, and sunshine, what more could a hippie girl ask for ✨

finalllllly got my hands on and this little sliver is just a chunks off of the giant mushroom cluster I bought.

I sautéed these with butter and ate them directly out of the pan AND here’s the cool thing when you buy your food locally, and really actually FRESH, it’s freaking so damn good 🤤

when I was a kid, I hated when my parents got mushrooms on our pizza, they were slimy, rubbery, and they made my teeth squeak when I bit down

Over time I just started trying them again. Taste buds change and there have been foods I’ve wanted to try but maybe I didn’t like all the parts of the food…. You know what I did, tried it anyway 🤣😆

so often at the store these things are gross, discolored, and slimy because they’re already going bad 🤣 + have traveled from who knows where

anyways, my point, go to a farmers market, support the little guy, source local produce AND try a mushroom, it won’t hurt ya 🤗

tip — when making something like orange chicken — actually use real oranges!

oranges are in my sauce, I give you a slice in the box // then I zest oranges on top too 🙆🏼‍♀️

it just brings a freshness to the meal, and you actually taste the orange flavor.
with your sauces, keep your recipes simple, less is more sometimes!

happy Thursday, menu // announcement on my story 🙆🏼‍♀️
