    we have a gift, and it’s everywhere

    by chelsea

    There is nothing else in our galaxy like our earth. Nothing that sustains life like our planet. We are blessed. But we don’t all know it. How can you teach someone to love the earth? If you can teach them, will they care about what they do to it? Will they love it like they love a friend, a husband, a mother? Will they...

    When the Energy Just Won’t Flow: 5 Ways to Get Yourself Out of a Rut

    by sunburntandsalty

    Most of the time I feel fluid. Most days, that motivated, positive, creative energy inside of me flows naturally, with ease, like a river running towards the ocean. Then there are some days when it seems like that river gets dammed up, and the water runs dry, and I just can’t seem get inspired or productive or pumped up – I literally feel blocked....

    how yoga teacher training brought me closer to God

    by chelsea

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a believer in Christ. I grew up going to a Lutheran day care, attending Lutheran worship on Sundays, youth groups during the week, and went to Catholic school for my entire education before college. My hometown is located in the Bible Belt, and is governed by leaders and members of the southern Baptist churches. In...

    travel: central bali

    by chelsea

    I was recently married and traveled to the southern hemi to spend my honeymoon in Bali for one month. Evan and I were able to experience and see so many things in this time, but we already feel that draw to return again some day soon. When you think of Bali, you immediately daydream of gorgeous beaches, bikini clad chicks, surfers, lush jungles and...

    Why I Gave Up Face Wash

    by papaya_and_lime

    I won’t blame any of you who may have already judged me, just a little, on the basis of this post’s title. So let me please begin by assuring you that while I am guilty of being a little bit of a hippie, I am certainly not of the dirty variety! To prevent you from backing away from your computer screens any further, allow me...

    the lost art of thank you

    by chelsea

    I grew up in The South. And in The South, children learn to say “thank you, ma’am” about as quickly as we learn the words “mom” and “yes” [ma’am]. Along with just learning the times to express these sentiments of gratitude (always), we also learn when and for what reasons to express a thank you in the tangible form. The handwritten thank you almost...

    Four Ways to Be A Nicer Person

    by chelsea

    Do you ever catch yourself in a situation when perhaps a thought creeps into your mind that you know if you said it out loud you would look like a total b-word? But hey, wait! I’m a nice person! I promise…. that internal monologue gets the best of you. The truth is, we always have room for improvement. I was reading Real Simple last...

    diy: kitty litter dehumidifer

    by chelsea

    This is a little trick suggested to me by my grandmother (they are full of such wisdom, right!?). Living on an island poses a threat to all my clothes and precious items subjected to high humidity all year round. When I first moved here and didn’t know a thing about protecting my items from this weather, I would constantly discover pieces of clothing in...

    culinary: best chocolate cake ever

    by chelsea

    Need a dessert for a dinner party this week? Then try this one. It’s the best chocolate cake recipe.Ever. Adapted from here, I was stoked to finally get to use my espresso powder – which brings out the deep flavors and tones of chocolate without tasting like coffee (I promise). My version is gluten free and lactose free – but not sugar free, sorry...

more tips for island living

by chelsea

So the first post of this series was a pretty popular hit with local island readers. So I figured I would share some more hints and tips that I’ve discovered in the five years of residing in Puerto Rico. 1 | save the silica dry bags. You know those little desiccant bags you get in some of your purses or with online orders? They say “choking hazard, throw away” – well don’t throw them away! You can actually use those suckers to keep out moisture and prevent mold in some of your hard-to-monitor places – like in your camera bag. We recently had to have our Canon sensor professionally cleaned because we started to notice some fungus through the viewfinder. Who would have thought that mold could grow there?? So now I’ve added some silica bags + bamboo activated charcoal to my camera bag to keep all of that from happening again. You can also try my homemade desiccant resource, the kitty litter dehumidifier which still works wonders in my cabinets and closets. 2 |...
