Happy New Year's Eve

Today is the last day of the decade, so I figured it’s the perfect moment for my first ever blog post for SMUDGED. Writing is probably my only natural talent, one of my absolute favorite things to do and something I am going to incorporate into my daily life during 2020.

I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting during these past weeks. A dear friend of mine suggested I write a list of 10 things over this past decade I’m grateful for and I was pleasantly surprised at all of the really wonderful memories I so easily conjured up. I could have easily written a list of 111 but here’s 11 for you (in no particular order). If you’d like to share yours with me, please add to your Insta stories and tag @smudged.co so we can repost. It’s a really uplifting exercise.

1. Moving to Miami - the first city I’ve ever lived in that truly feels like home

2. Starting SMUDGED - which has been the most rewarding and simultaneously challenging adventure of my life thus far

3. My trip to Europe last fall

4. Meeting my furbaby, Palo Santo

5. Producing my first film Guys Reading Poems

6. New friendships

7. All of the life-changing travel and adventures with my friend Bianca

8. Traveling to Seattle (which is where I was born) with my Mama - who hadn’t been back since she gave birth to me

9. All of my spiritual growth and change and transformations

10. The birth of my goddaughter Sofia and her brother Lex

11. Music - all the music I’ve listened to on repeat, the ones that make me feel such amazing feels and all the concerts I’ve attended

I also want to share the latest happenings here with you - things that might interest you, in response to the most common inquiries I get via Insta and email.

• I’ve been doing the LAKSHMI MANTRA for prosperity and abundance each morning on Instagram live. It’s a great container of support for anyone who wants to work with sacred mantras to effectuate positive change in their lives. Pop on and check it out if you’re curious.

• We are rebranding our sprays to call in some new energy with this new year and new decade. I can’t wait for you to see our new labels designed by Maryam Rumi and brought to life by Print Peppermint. They are absolutely gorgeous. (Also, people are always swooning over our business cards which double as product tags so if you’re curious we got our super fresh business cards printed at Print Peppermint, and you can too!)
