Amazing date night with Rachel on our first trip together outside of Dallas (Austin 🥳)!

We went to .atx to start out the night and had some of the best food we’ve had in ages. Everything there is vegan 🌱, from their sushi to their ramen to their mushroom steaks.

Between the two of us we got fried cauliflower wings, 1 order of nigiri, 2 orders of maki, a lion’s mane steak grown by with mashed potatoes, broccolini, and onion rings, Belgian chocolate cake, and vanilla + raspberry swirl ice cream 😋.

After we headed to to enjoy their Saint Paddy’s Day Party with my highschool friend who also independently got into kava 🧉 and is big into the scene here in Austin.

Very pumped that just like and other kava brands in DFW, the kava scene is thriving here in Austin. We’ll probably check out and .kavabar in the next couple days too so stay tuned 👀.

Either way, so grateful to be enjoying one of my favorite cities with my Jolly Rach a.k.a. ☀️. The amount of joy she brings into my life is hard to fathom 🤯❤️.

BULA 🤙🏼!!!

This birthday week was probably the best one I’ve ever had thanks to this one-of-a-kind gal and the love of my life ❤️.

From celebrating at my family’s this past Sunday to meeting my nephew Henry (I’m now officially an Unc 😎) to deep cleaning my apartment with her sister 🧼 as one of her many thoughtful birthday gifts 🎁 to celebrating just the two of us on Wednesday evening/my actual birthday (Thursday) to the INCREDIBLE party 🎉 Rachel planned from the ground up and executed for me at , I am absolutely blown away 🤯.

She’s been such a blessing in my life in every way imaginable and her family and friends have been that as well.

I’m still embarrassed I was a little late to my own party, but it was only because I was recording “thank you songs” (rather than cards) for Rachel’s sister Judy and her best friend as I was so appreciative of the insane amount of work they both did alongside Rachel to prep all the decorations, food, and beyond for my celebration given it took multiple days to set up and a significant amount of time to clean up as well.

I couldn’t be more grateful to have the privilege of basking in the light that Rachel adds to my life. To me, her warm soul that complements mine so perfectly is not merely just ray of sunshine, but more like the entire sun ☀️.

I love you, baby 😘!!

Love this galll. Thanks for an amazing Valentine’s Day, ❤️🖤.

Was amazing getting to wake up with you and cook a delicious meal and spend quality time together. I loved the hilarious, thoughtful, and yes - stylish - custom t-shirts you got me, as well as all the other amazing gifts.

Thank you for supporting me even when I needed to work some on Valentine’s Day and not holding it against me, but legitimately the opposite. You not only made my work day easier but also helped me with content. I couldn’t be luckier to have such an empathetic, understanding, patient, and wise person by my side.

I love you more than anything.

My favorite indulgence - a botanical latte from with your choice of espresso or cold brew ☕️, kava or elixir, plant milk, and syrup.

These two were for and I.

She had a small botanical latte with double espresso, 2 scoops of deluxe green elixir, vanilla almond milk, and sugar-free vanilla syrup.

I had a large botanical latte with double espresso, 3 scoops of Solomon kava, vanilla almond milk, and sugar-free vanilla syrup.

Can’t wait to go back and grab another one! Maybe even tomorrow morning 🤩. You should too. You won’t regret it!!

4 ingredient pancakes 🥞 always hit the spot! These were bananas, oats, dates (optional), and almond milk - that’s it!

I did decide to add some dark chocolate chips 🍫 last minute + some berries 🫐 and maple syrup on top of course, but really nice that simple recipes like this exist.

I want to make protein pancakes again though. The last recipe I made of them was so delicious 🤤. That’ll be next on the list after the tofu scramble I’ll be making tomorrow morning.

What kind of recipes do you want to see next!?

Let a vegan palagi knowwwww 🌱🤙🏻.

I can’t wait till Friday when we have some sunnier days ☀️ like this one at with my friend when we randomly mid-day downed some kava 🥥 and fresh mango 🥭 together that he bought at .

He dropped a lot of helpful tips on how to cut mangoes properly, where to get them, how to know when their ready, and more. Always have appreciated Taylor’s selfless nature. I know everyone at The Kava Bar - Oak Cliff (and The Kava Bar community as a whole) is going to miss him a ton when he moves to Hawaii 🏝️ here soon.

I know he’s going to be thrilled by the fruit selection there though and the surfing, as well as the kava there which is typically served fresh (a.k.a. not dried first before brewing, which leads to a much less bitter/earthy brew and is so easy to drink).

Anyway, was just reminiscing on these fun sunny day activities after this most recent ice storm and thought I’d share.

Who else is ready for some sun ☀️???

🔔 Lastly, don’t forget The Kava Bar Oak Cliff is open normal hours tomorrow (8am to 12am) and will have Bingo with your host per usual starting at 8pm. Until then, BULAAAA 🤙🏼💙

First time being iced in together was a blast! There was certainly no shortage of fun 🤩.

We were either cooking, tending to the fire, going on fun body-sledding adventures, walking to to hang with our friends during their limited Snowmageddon hours, doing viral couples challenges, or watching a good show together.

We also learned more about when to support versus give each other space so that we could focus on our work or a fun solo activity like writing, gaming, or coloring.

We also of course mixed kava (per usual) and got rooted + kept in touch with family.

Although I made sure we were unreasonably prepared for this storm, I’m thankful the power didn’t go out (knock on wood 🪵). However, if it had, we would’ve 1000 percent been prepared 🤣.

Anyway though - long story short - I’m in love with . That is allllll.

Much alofas 🤙🏼💙

We had some ginger-lemon blue lotus tea last night. Hit the spot and effects-wise, led to a super relaxing, fun, and productive evening.

If you haven’t tried blue lotus before, to me, it’s kind of like the body-feel of cannabis without the head high, and it’s supposed to produce quite vivid dreams. Usually the dreams part isn’t the case for me but last night it definitely was.

I recommend trying it sometime if you haven’t! If you enjoy kava, krtm, cacao, damiana, or anything else similar, it stacks great with it, especially when enjoying it before bed.

I typically prepare it as a tea (3-5 grams per 8 oz of water) but it can also be smoked.

Let me know if you decide to try it, or have enjoyed it in the past!

BULA 🤙🏽💙
