OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I was in the middle of my workout when I looked over and saw @samlivits carrying something weird...

UHHHHHHH

SAM SURPRISED ME WITH THE BIGGEST MOST COLOSSAL MOST GOLIATH BOUQUET OF FLOWERS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND MY NATURAL REACTION WAS TO SCREAM REPEATEDLY AND CRY!?!?! (swipe to the end 🥲)

Sam and I don’t normally do anything fancy for Valentine’s Day - we literally had just talked about going to Costco for groceries - so umm YEAH this REALLY caught me off guard!

Wanted to share this genuine moment with you because honestly I don’t think I’ve been THIS level of surprised since Sam proposed to me in Kauai a little over 3 years ago!

Ok that is all! I hope you have a lovely Valentine’s Day no matter if you spend it on the couch watching romcoms and eating ice cream or enjoying a fancy candlelit dinner.

Now I need your help...WHAT KIND OF VASE DO I PUT THESE IN!?

Literally after that last photo was taken, my mom

Literally after that last photo was taken, my mom put my hair in a low pony, chopped it all off, and kept my hair in a plastic bag in the garage. I became “mushroom head”. And my mom got to “save” my hair. To this day, I have zero idea why she wanted to do that. It’s not like they were ever turned into extensions!? My hair just sits. In a plastic bag. In the garage. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wonder what weird things I’ll do when I’m a mom.

ANYWAY.

I’m glad my hair is back and to it’s natural color! I don’t plan on cutting it anytime soon.

This is the ao dai, the traditional Vietnamese dress. Got this in Vietnam when we went a little over a year ago for my cousin’s wedding. I think we should make dresses with pants a thing. It’s so fun! Would you wear it?

Chuc Mung Nam Moi!

May the Year of the Ox bring you good luck, prosperity, and happiness!

Happy Lunar New Year Eve! 🧧 Which Qi pao do you

Happy Lunar New Year Eve! 🧧 Which Qi pao do you like better? Red ❤️ or yellow 💛?

Growing up in an immigrant family wasn’t easy. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. My parents raised me to understand that even if you don’t have much, you can still be MAKE it work - if you just WORK HARD. Harder than anyone else.

I grew up living in a converted garage with barely 1 bed and 1 bath. It often flooded when it rained so my mom kept my toys in plastic bags. Both my parents worked day and night to make ends meet. There would be times I’d be left at home alone, and I’d be so hungry that I taught myself how to make fried rice at 6 years old, waiting for my mom to get off work. (The day my mom found out about this she was equally as horrified as she was proud.) I know it wasn’t “right” but they didn’t have money for a baby sitter. So that was our reality.

We only shopped at Ross and Marshalls and bought groceries from Food 4 Less or Chinatown. Target? A luxury. McDonalds? Too fancy. And even then, we could only order the 29c burgers. Not the 39c cheeseburgers. No fries. Nothing off the regular menu.

Looking back, it is almost comical how intense my parent’s money saving tactics were...because I really do not think we had to drive an hour to Chinatown every Sunday, spend 3-4 hours minimum walking all over the markets to get the best deal on literally every single vegetable and pound of fish we bought, only to then drive an hour back, and save less money than the gas it took to drive there.

But you know what? As funny as my parents frugalness may sound, it came from a need to survive. They both escaped a war torn country, lost everything, and had to rebuild themselves in a strange new land with no family, no money, and no pity for foreigners.

I’m grateful for my Chinese Vietnamese heritage. I’m grateful for my hard working immigrant parents. I’m grateful for every ounce of my childhood and every ounce of feeling like an outsider. Because that is EXACTLY what built me into the woman I am today.

Gung hay fat choy! (Cantonese)
Chuc mung nam moi! (Vietnamese)
Happy Lunar New Year!

May the Year of the Ox bring you prosperity, joy, and strength.

I love eating. A LOT. So, it’s actually really easy for me to overeat because I am one of those “I see it, I eat it” types of people who will finish everything in front of me as to not waste food. (My parents taught me well! 🤓)

So, because I know this about myself, when it comes to eating healthy and portion control, I fill my plate up with a ton of veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats so that not only does my portion look full, but my belly is full, and my body is nourished too!

Now, when it comes to healthy eating for pets, portions matter just as much. It is SO EASY for pets to be overfed which leads to overeating which ultimately results in excessive weight gain. We owe it to our pets to be responsible for their health! It’s not like they can really choose what they want to eat, how much, and when! It’s OUR JOB to take care of them as best as we can.

If you’re not sure how many calories your pet needs and are concerned about their health, @Purina includes very specific feeding instructions based on the weight of your pet on the back of many of their products. According to @drcallieh, Purina vet, if you want to get even more serious about it, definitely touch base with your vet to discuss your pet’s current condition and what they may need nutritionally to hit their health goals!

Viral tiktok baked feta pasta. But make it vegan and gluten free AND TASTE REALLY GOOD! Is it possible?

YES!

🧀VEGAN FETA CHEEZE🧀
▪️1 block tofu
▪️1/2 c soaked cashews (soak in water overnight)
▪️2 mini blocks of garlic
▪️2 TBS apple cider vinegar
▪️1 TBS nutritional yeast
▪️1 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS
1️⃣ Blend all the above together then pour in the middle of an oven safe baking dish.
2️⃣ Add cherry tomatoes and spinach all around.
3️⃣ Top cheeze with olive oil (I used 2 TBS), some salt, and cayenne pepper.
4️⃣ Bake at 400F for about 40 min or until tomatoes are popped and wilted!
5️⃣ Sautee some hearts of palm pasta in a pan for 5 min! I got mine from Trader Joe’s.
6️⃣ Mix pasta into the baking dish.
7️⃣ Enjoy!

Seriously, this was AMAZING. I loved it so much I ate it for lunch AND dinner in the same day! Oh, and guess what? It’s actually @samlivits approved! So yeah, it’s legit good.

Thanks to @plantyou for the vegan Feta recipe! Absolutely genius!

Would you eat this?
