this year i started getting balyage for the first time ever (i’ve done it twice now) to add some dimension to my hair & i love it! it took me a moment to get use to it & once i did i found the balayage to be really fun—especially in braids in hawaii… at sunset beach… at sunset 😍 swoooon. that’s probably when i first starting loving the look. since i’m a newbie to the world of hair coloring i learned a lot of 101 that i want to share:
•
HAIR COLORING TIPS:
•
❣️ PHOTOS: take photos with you to show what you want & like (i feel like this is helpful for haircuts too! ✂️) you can make a bookmark folder on IG that you can open up during your appointment, if that’s easiest 🔖
.
❣️ WASHING YOUR HAIR: i recommend holding off from washing your hair for at least a few days before your appointment—especially if you’re dying your roots. one time i had an appointment ‪wednesday morning‬ (to do balyage & root touch up) & i washed my hair ‪monday night‬ before the appointment, & my scalp was still really sensitive at the appointment—i rubbed my scalp pretty intensely while washing it at home so that’s probably why 🧖🏻‍♀️ next time, i plan to wash it at least a few days before the appointment if not further out so my scalp isn’t sensitive at the appointment
.
❣️ TIME AT THE SALON: think through what you’ll do during your down time at the salon while your color sets. like i said i’m a newbie so i was not prepared the first time i did color. i didn’t realize how much down time i’d have while i was there. this can be a huge opportunity if you’re prepared—plan in advance what you want to do during that down time, even if it’s taking a power nap. some activities i’ve done: read a magazine—they usually have plenty at the salon (i’m going to take @womenshealthmag & a book or 2 with me next time so i can read those if i’d like 📖), work on content copy, content planning, & return emails 💌 (on my phone)
•
okay, if you color your hair sometimes too, let’s hear your tips! i’m all ears—this newbie loves info : ) PLZ & THANK YOU 😽💕
•
oh & please excuse all the dog hair on my clothes—it just lives there now 🤪🐕

we went to @plantasouthbeach last time we were in miami back in august & i became absolutely OBSESSED! the entire menu is plant-based & vegan. their food is so flavorful, delicious, & beautifully presented... the flavors, the ingredients, their creativity, & their plating—even the vibe and design of the restaurant is amazing. scroll for pics 🤩
•
my 2 favorite apps we tried that day were the:
.
🍚 CRISPY RICE (slides 5 & 6) it’s topped with hearts of palm & avocado, and kizami wasabi
.
🥟 STEAMED DUMPLINGS (slide 5) they’re made with spinach, shiitake, truffle soya, & hot chili oil, & they have this amazing, flavorful kick to them that‘s very delicious & complex
•
their cocktails were also delicious & beautifully garnished. i had the fuego 🔥 (the yellow drink 💛) it’s made with don julio blanco tequila, pineapple, chili agave, & ginger-lemongrass kombrewcha
•
we also really enjoyed their dessert 🍨 we had chef’s choice soft serve, which was this charcoal soft serve topped with almond butter & coconut 👅🥥 YUM!
•
when we go back later this month we’re planning to try their sushi menu 😋🥢
•
oh & it’s walking distance from the beach so we walked to the beach after, which i LOVE! it’s perfect for a fun lil beach day 🌴⛱

yum yum yummy! sometimes you just need a quesadilla, right? 🤤 here’s how i make my quesadillas at home—they’re vegan, gluten-free & SO DELICIOUS:
•
i’ll fold a @sietefoods almond flour tortilla in half, spread some @miyokoscreamery fresh vegan mozz on one side, & then sprinkle on a tonnn of red chili flakes 🌶 i like it spicy. sometimes, i’ll cut up some mushrooms to put inside too—i like it with shiitake mushrooms 🍄 so good! & i’ll usually just pop it into the microwave for 20 seconds & then it’s ready to eat 👅 full blog post w/ more deets on the blog (link in bio) 🤸🏻‍♂️
•
leave a 🧀 if you love a good quesadilla too

this is the BEST VEGAN CHEESE i’ve had at home hands down—& i’ve tried a lot! it’s creamy, cheesy, & melts perfectly 🤤🧀
•
& i use it in so many ways:
•
+ PIZZA 🍕 w/ @sietefoods almond flour tortillas to keep it gluten free or on top of portobello mushrooms to make lil pizza portobellos 🍄
.
+ QUESADILLA (also w/ @sietefoods almond flour tortillas) i just posted a whole blog post on how i make my quesadillas at home 💛 takes 20 seconds & it’s SO GOOD! 🤤 link in bio
.
+ MAC & CHEESE (sometimes i make it with broccoli florets 🥦 &/or peas to get more veggies in—& i love the peas for added protein too)
.
+ CAPRESE SALAD w/ tomatoes on the vine or heirloom tomatoes 🍅 i want to try it w/ avocado &/or basil next time too. yum! 🥑🌿
.
+ & as a SPREAD ON TOAST 🥖 ideally gluten-free toast
•
if you’re looking for a delicious vegan cheese, check this out ⇢ it’s @miyokoscreamery FRESH VEGAN MOZZ 💛 they make the best vegan butter, cream cheeses, & other cheeses too.
•
& BTW, @theellenshow & @portiaderossi just invested in miyoko’s—they know what’s up 🤩🙌🏼
•
& it’s also kid approved & non-vegan approved 👯‍♀️ my niece & nephew LOVE it & they don’t usually eat vegan so i consider that a big win! (i love taste testing my recipes & product finds on them LOL 😜 the non-spicy ones—they don’t like spicy rn)
•
what else would you make with this vegan mozz? 😋🧀
