self care

I’ll keep this one short and simple, in fact I’ll just post a bunch of pictures.

Blueberry, Elderberry, Raisins, Apple, Hibiscus & Cornflower Petals.

I have awesome friends who enjoy making teas and tinctures. This tea mix was made by Davina Barril and we share the joy of organic products.

I put some in a carry around tin and it’s delicious.

The tea mix above was made by another friend and fellow nature lover Jennifer Vasilez. Both Davina and Jennifer appreciate the gifts of this land and find time to gather and create. The coolest part is that they’re rediscovering the teachings of their Native heritage.

Lucious Oils

It’s easy to pick out the petals and they add a wonderful fragrance.

Sistahz Soirée came and went. All of the planning, promotion and care was worth it! Luckily Paish did a little Livestream 🤗

We had a fitness session than a lunch break which led us into the DIY sessions.

We were blessed to have the BEST YOGURT at our event. Made in Seattle from a family recipe, Ellenos. The yogurt bar kicked off our buffet followed by organic chips, fruit, granola and more. Not to mention our fave water, Fiji.

The entire event was divided into two sessions; fitness and features (as in – featuring DIY projects). We used the studio space to acomadate the separate agendas.

We allowed the natural light from a Pacific Northwest sun to illuminate our event. The breeze mingled with the happy hearts and smiles went from ear to ear. This was one of the best events I’ve ever done because it combined creativity along with community.

Attendance was geared towards a particular group, women. We didn’t have children or partners working out with us like our regular SISTAHZ SESSION. I don’t think I would have been able to carry out the details and cater to our guest if it was a regular fitness event. This is how I did it… TEAMED UP WITH MAKE MAHALO then I…

Chose a venue, date, time & audience.
Created a theme, menu & template.
Posted and shared the event.
Gathered all the ingredients and projects.
Hosted the event and had a blast.

Below was the final digital flier before the actual event.

Here’s a little video about the DIY sessions:

Oh so random… be prepared because the following images are interesting but not fitness related. However it is community building. Every year my team & I host a farmers market booth with kiddie crafts and DIY youth projects. And somehow we fit in a ZUMBA @ THE MARKET event so stay tuned.
