Start composting a quick and easy guide

Hawaii

In 2020, it was the year to take sustainability up a notch. Let's face it, most of us were stuck at home in the middle of a pandemic, it sure was a great way to spend my "spare" time learning about composting. I've been contemplating composting for the past three years! I can't believe it took me so long. I was intimated by composting, and I kept telling myself it was too much work and I was too busy. End of 2019, I started doing a ton of research on how to compost. It's actually not that complicated. Living in Hawaii has inspired me to start gardening and compo[...]

Hello 2021 Cheers to a New Year! If you have been desperately waiting for this pandemic to be over, then welcome to the club. As I make the transition to pack our bags and get ready for our big move to Hawaii. This blog post will focus on how I stay on track and declutter my home with 3 kiddos under 4 years old. Why Moving can be quite an adjustment between settling into a new state and literally moving across the sea with three little babies.

Simple and Mindful Morning Routine

Irvine, CA

Winter is almost here... As a mom of 3 little babies, I was feeling a bit lost. Waking up in the middle of the night, breastfeeding, and taking care of 3 kiddos all by myself. The days are long, but time is going fast. All this running around was taking a toll on my body & soul. I've talked about Niko pursuing a Master's Degree full-time on my Instagram. All while he's transitioning from one role to another with his job. Time for myself was pretty much non-existent. One day I woke up and I had to reevaluate my everyday routine. I decided to dedicate a little[...]

23 Books you Should Read in Your Life

Irvine, CA

Hello, 2021! 2020 was a very interesting year with Covid-19 and being stuck at home. I never thought I would be listening to an audible book or take out a book at the library like the high school days. Trying to figure out how to get back into a routine and back to my reading schedule was tough, but I managed to get the kids on a set schedule for their naps and it has been a lifesaver. I've also adopted a more sustainable lifestyle and although I have a collection of my favorite books. I try my best to no purchase any books and be more mindful to adopt new ways t[...]

Minimalist Baby + Mama Essentials

Irvine, CA

My third and last kid just turned 3 months and after surviving 3 years of being pregnant back to back (don't worry I planned each of my pregnancy) I'm that crazy! hahah. I'm finally in a place where I can offer useful suggestions to the new mamas. Like any new mom, I walked into the baby store and I immediately wanted to run away. To say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. So many different gadgets and endless options. I ended up buying and registering for items I had no need for or never even took out of the package. The good thing is that after my secon[...]

Homeschooling and Virtual learning

Irvine, CA

Hello to homeschooling 2020! Have you survived homeschooling? Is 2020 over yet? In the beginning of this year I would have never thought, I would be homeschooling two kids. My son Oliver started preschool last year and we continued his virtual learning until the summer started. If you have 3 kids under 4, then you understand that having 1 kid in a virtual class can be difficult. Trying to coordinate with the teacher and other parents when everyone was available, was just exhausting on itself. Oliver really missed his teacher and his friends but our family made[...]

A Beginner’s Guide to Low Waste Living

Starting the journey Let's face it, we've seen the shift these past couple of years on zero waste and sustainable low waste living. Everyone will approach sustainability differently. I started my low waste journey back in 2015, I was overwhelmed. I think part of the struggle, in the beginning, was having to spend an exorbitant amount of money on food and other sustainable items. Fast forward to today, there are endless online shops and even local shops offering sustainable products in bulk. I personally love Package Free ( an online shop that sells sustaina[...]

9 Ways To Stay Busy Between Projects

Irvine, CA

Welcome to the Digital Nomad life! If you are reading this you’re most likely a freelancer or in the process of quitting your full time gig (go badass girlboss). Let’s face it, while we all have busy schedules there is a time during the year (for me around Christmas holidays) that are slow. I rarely take on new projects between November through early January. The reason for this is solely so that I can spend time with my family, come up with new strategies on how to improve my business and of course time for myself. I'm all about self care during this t[...]
