Infants and Chiropractic Care
“The role of chiropractors, as mentioned previously, is to work with the nervous system. When we go into a tremendous state of adaptation, beyond what we can handle, our nervous system shifts into a state of what so many refer to as “fight or flight”. Just like us adults, our babies can hang out (and get stuck) there, too. It is the job of a chiropractor to help shift baby’s nervous system out of a state of alert and defense, and into a state of “ahhhh”, formally known as a state of increased vagal tone.”
Sustainable Goods for Your Little One
“I put together a list of links to our favorite products we’ve used in the last 6 months. None are sponsored, most are sustainable, and all are worth the purchase. From nursery must-haves to clothing basics, read on for a guide of sustainable goods for your little one.”
Styling SISTAIN
Over the past two years, I’ve had the wonderful pleasure of working with SISTAIN as Creative Director, designing the brand identity, developing the website, and styling product shoots to create content for social media and the eComm platform. Here is a gallery of images my team and I styled for various shoots to utilize in social content and eComm.
A simplehuman Collaboration
“But then I got to researching their products and I’ll be the first to say, they’re worth every penny and all the attention. We now have lots of simplehuman pieces in our home, and they’ve made our systems much more streamlined and efficient — which you know I am allll about, whether a parent or not.”
5 Month Update with Our Everett Kai
“The last five months have been the best and the hardest of our lives. I’ve recently felt a pull to share some of our hardships to further attempt normalizing the conversation of real life parenthood. It’s not easy like I so blissfully thought it would be. Like parenting books have written about. “Follow these steps and you’ll do great!”
Organic Pieces from L’ovedbaby
“We had little E in this piece as much as possible until he, of course, grew out of it in 2.5 seconds. Deets on the Corduroy Collection:
+ 94% GOTS-certified organic cotton with 6% lycra for added stretch
+ Sizes preemie to 24m
+ 5 gender-neutral colors”
Yamazaki Home Styling
“My due date is TOMORROW, friends (all anxiety-reducing tips welcome), so the kitchen is stocked (with all the essentials), our laundry routine is upgraded, and the diaper changing stations are ready — all thanks to Yamazaki Home pieces, elevating our home’s systems.”
5 Interior Design Tips & Talking Space
“Designing an interior space is much like designing digital graphics for a brand. I go for a mixture of structure and fluidity, combined with color theory and balance. I infuse my personal style while paying homage to the elements I am using. Most importantly, I look to achieve a sense of thoughtful, positive emotion in the overall design.”
Sustainable Function & Beauty at Home
“Inspired by hygge, I’ve added touches of coziness in my home. Think aesthetically pleasing, perfectly functional hand-towels in the kitchen and bathrooms, and blankets placed just about everywhere. This is the true meaning of functionality and beauty in the home — when the pieces you own double as beautiful decor and useful accessories.”
