There are very few moments of Zen when you are the mom to a 3 year old. Ok, there are no moments of Zen. In fact it’s pretty much chaos, noise, mess, and joyful exhaustion until bedtime. So the idea of me sitting in lotus pose deep in meditation is sort of hilarious. (more…)

Our Karma Krewe bud, Heather, has been working at finding ways to clear her skin holistically, without using harsh chemicals or medications. Last month, Heather shared her delicious homemade detox tea recipe with us that has really helped clarify her skin, and today she is sharing a few simple yoga poses that will help get the blood flowing to your face to promote healthy, glowing skin. Doing a few fun yoga poses every day sounds easy enough! Here is more info from Heather on why yoga is good for a glowing face: (more…)

The Cranberry Wine Boho Dress! Perfect color for a quick evening walk and little photographic adventure! We loved how the color popped against the faded dry corn field. The days are getting shorter and shorter and we just missed the sun on the fields! My kids still thought it was fun to park in the middle of the road and get out to snap some pictures. All of our neighbors are used to seeing us out and about, camera in hand, usually dressed up or sometimes dressed weird or in costumes. (more…)

The description of the Mulan Hooded Dress states, “This sleeveless mini dress will bring out the powerful warrior woman within you.”  There are many aspects of this ethically made dress from Thailand that makes it do just that!   (more…)

Calling all buds! It’s time to let the world know how they can help our beautiful earth…and the human race! As a patron of this wonderful company, I’m sure it’s no news to you that pesticides have been affecting our bees. They have been disappearing and their colonies have been declining. This is not good, buds! (more…)

I love the Branches Recycled Maxi Skirt, the leaf deign is so gorgeous, seeing it reminded me of mehndi henna designs, and the long maxi length had me dreaming of barefoot summer days, running through the grass and sand. (more…)

The Funk, comes to you when you wear the Get the Funk Tie-Dye Pants. You can’t help but dance and get your groove on.  The pants have a wonderfully three tiered ruffle happening at the bottoms, so even just walking around, they fly and flutter and make you want to jump and jive all over the place. (more…)

Hey y’all! I have been fortunate enough to be a part of Soul Flowers Karma Krewe for a little bit now. I had been selecting items for other people for the most part. But the Neverland Crop Skirt Pants? Mine. All mine. And as a photographer I always had it in my head that I need to do photo shoots and organized theme or something for the items. Not this time! Total relaxation and fun weekend-friends, family and good times! All in the comfort of my awesome new cropped pants! (more…)

Summers for me, remind me of Stargirl, one of my favorite books of all time is Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. Summer is a time for riding bikes, walking in the dessert, mediation, and just enjoying the sun. The story is about a girl who is a unique individual, a outcast at times, a girl who cares about people, and plants, and the world, who teaches people how to be themselves, and enjoy life, who makes a impression on one boy, and ends up disappearing in the end, but leaving a mark always.

This winter, I decided to escape the Northern Hemisphere winter and embark on a Southern Hemisphere adventure in Ecuador.  My goal was to relax and whitewater kayak with my husband for one month: an amazing adventure and relaxing vacation all at the same time. (more…)

My daughter and I love all things old and interesting, and I have had my eye on this property for quite some time to photograph.  For so long, the schedule was never right to be there with my camera during the day and I sometimes worried that the next time I drove past, it would be demolished.   (more…)

Though snow and hot chocolate with marshmallows can be fun, every winter I quickly find myself looking forward to Summer. I think of rubbing my feet through the sand, the smell of sunscreen, the warm sun on my skin, the cool breeze…but mostly, that giant blue ocean. This is the time of year that summer is so close, yet so far! (more…)

So I came across an amazing book. It is called “Radical Acceptance: Embracing your life with the heart of a Buddha” By Tara Brach. Although I don’t practice Buddhism, I heard the book was amazing, and find you can learn so much from people regardless of if they have the same religion, views, lifestyle as you. (more…)

Soul Flower has incredible threads: comfortable, fashionable, and eco-friendly with uniquely flattering styles. But what makes Soul Flower truly exceptional is the original, hand drawn artwork in all of their designs. The Moon Play T-shirt is no exception! (more…)

The winds are blowing in the cold Appalachia, I love being cozy in my Snowflake Fleece Leggings!  Since I’m a long time yoga practitioner and teacher, I’m always looking for pants and leggings to practice in; and as the cold weather began to work it’s way south, I was stoked to see Soulflower get some fleece leggings! (more…)

I really love this Buddha Yoga Tank! I love the detail on the shirt and the Buddha stencil design. It has the  message “kindness is my religion” all around the circle. A great positive motivator! The hand-drawn Buddha design is probably my favorite part of this shirt. (more…)

I would consider myself a creative person. In grade school I drew, years later I branched out and tackled sewing, design and embroidery. But with all areas of life there seems to be times of inspiration and times of… well ruts. My creativity seems to be fickle at times, dependent on variables, locations, schedules, and simply inspiration. (more…)

When a new Soul-Flower owl item pops up I can guarantee it will be perched in my closet faster then you can say who cooks for whom!! I’m really just crazy about this tunic and how could I not be, I have a cute lil’ hooter riding on my hip with me! Wait, make that two!! 😉 (more…)

Magic mushrooms is the greatest print ever. The softest raglan ever. This weekend I took some pictures with my daughter and husband, the hardest thing in the world can be getting a good picture with a child. You have to have treats, silly faces, and be willing to try a million different spots and angles. (more…)

Hello Buds! I’m sure many of you were as intrigued as I was when you saw the Wild Thing Hooded Patch Vest for the first time. It’s no ordinary patchwork top. The different colors, patterns and textures make it one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. (more…)

When we first moved into our apartment, the first thing I noticed was the asylum white walls. I knew they had to go ASAP. There is something about plain walls that just brings my mood down. (more…)

Fall is coming to an end. Me and my husband decided we needed to go on one last road trip before fall is really over with. What a perfect shirt, the new Enjoy the Journey turtle organic t-shirt. The relaxed shirt is a gorgeous plum/ cranberry color with a hand drawn turtle with the words “Enjoy the Journey” written across the front. (more…)
