someone reblogged my post w these tags. thank u for speaking your TRUTH
made myself earrings with this colour and now i have this beautiful ring. when i wear this colour i feel calm.
giving food as gifts is a love language. i made a jar of green chilli sauce, one of mango pickles, and ginger beer. i’m giving that with a little angel keychain to my angel ❣️
the smell of ginger, onion, garlic, cumin, chilli powder and spices cooking is truly a point of joy these days. everything about them is so warm, it makes me feel so safe and comfortable
digging in 💌 / cauliflower chopped and roasted at 400F, tossed with olive oil, hella curry powder, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, sea salt; steamed jasmine rice with butter, fresh arugula, chickpeas tossed in tomato paste, liquid smoke, olive oil, maple syrup, chili powder and sautéed; + a simple sauce made from labneh, olive oil, lemon juice from a whole lemon, a little garlic, and hella fresh thyme (took a pic of it unmixed because it just looked so pretty)
made this for dinner tonight it’s my wife’s favorite meal 🌹
This is so beautiful!!

what indoor plants would you recommend me growing? I’m really trying to get further into gardening and am gonna take a course at my college this year! Your photos inspire me and make me so excited to pursue this :)
i still don’t think I’m an expert at indoor gardening by far just because I don’t really want to buy lots of ornamentals. the really lush tropical ones are…unreasonable on a budget. most my plants are rescues, on their last legs sale plants, or propagated from friends lol
here are some ideas:
money plant: this will survive anything!! and it’s a climbing plant so in a few months she’ll be on her way up
fiddle leaf fig: i got a small one on sale and I’m just interested to see it grow tall..having s tree indoors stresses me out but also it’s intriguing
ferns: I love ferns a lot I can see myself getting more, they’re beautiful, only they’re a bit sensitive so make sure you water when the soil is dry and get a spray bottle to mist. Asparagus fern are pretty easy
spider plant: these ones grow quickly too and always have little offshoots you can propagate
good luck! there’s nothing like your first plant :’)
close up of soaps i made tonight. lavender and eucalyptus. sea buckthorn oil, ground orange peels, and calendula. these recipes were floating in my head for a little while so im excited to see them come to life. in a few weeks i’ll update how they turned out 🧡

Romance as means of redemption is the worst kind of Western medicine, but an obsession with personal transformation is an even more American tendency, or at least it is mine. In the last couple years it became a more interesting challenge to be “good” than bad. I started living alone, vacuuming my apartment weekly, saving parmesan rinds for soup, calling to negotiate better rates for utilities. I became a better cook and friend, especially to myself. These specific tasks are not meant to demonstrate adulthood, the inane fantasy of the unrigorous that there is a finite level—based often on what you can afford to own and what that implies—at which no further acquisition of skills or growth is necessary. Rather, it’s to illustrate that I now live my life in a way that suggests I care to be in it. Naturally that desire transfers to other tasks, practices, and ways of relating––what I mean is that it transfers to love.
