I hate my skin. I have repeated this phrase to myself numerous times over the last 40 years. And each time I’ve said it, I’ve meant it. Worse yet, I can assure you that you couldn’t have convinced me otherwise. But today, as I write these words and read them back to myself, it fills me with sadness. I’ve battled one form of acne or another more years of my life than not. With the arrival of 30 came all the fine lines and wrinkles my mom promised would show up. My autoimmune disease has blessed me with reduced skin laxity which contributes to sagging skin and enlarged pores. And last but certainly not least, I spent the first two decades of my life building core memories while worshiping the sun alongside my Granny, Grandmom, Mom and friends…and leaving behind sunspots as a reminder. But you better believe I wouldn’t give back those core memories for anything. I accept now that my skin may require a little more TLC than the next person, but it is also what literally holds me together. Some days my skin may show signs of age, a bit of wear and tear or it might be downright angry. I can’t say I blame it. The world is harsh on me, on all of us, and that includes our skin. So I have realized that my skin deserves grace. And together we’ve been on a journey… It involves facing the mirror and seeing beyond the imperfections, the wrinkles and scars, the discoloration and blemishes. It means embracing your bare skin, with all its flaws and all its beauty, and learning to love every part of yourself, inside and out. It’s a journey of self-discovery, of learning to be kind to yourself, to forgive yourself, to treat yourself with compassion, to speak to yourself with love, and to embrace the person staring back at you in the mirror. And trust me, it is a journey worth taking. 📸 These photos are unedited images of my skin 6 months post use of neuromodulators (Botox) + with consistent application of a combo of medical grade and dermatologist-approved skincare. #phillybeauty #phillyesthetician #skincarejourney #skincareover40 #over40 #skincaredaily #myskin #realskin #vulnerabilityisstrength #beautifulskin #selfempowerment #nomakeupselfie

Yes! That’s right - Even my picky pup loved @_bitesandblends! Here is what we ate GLUTEN FREE* and LOVED ⤵️ - Healthy but DELICIOUS - is the name of the game when visiting Bites and Blends in Upper Dublin, PA. 🥗 The ingredients are fresh, almost every menu item is customizable and made to order, and -with the exception of the wraps- just about all options can be made gluten free. 🐾 In addition to the limitless menu of healthy options available to people, the same focus on healthy recipes and ingredients also extends to the Fuzzy Friends menu. Barkley ate + loved the Protein Bowl packed with fresh chicken breast, crumbled turkey bacon and you can’t forget the shredded cheese! 🥪 As for me, let me just say that Bites and Blends did not skip a beat when creating their menu. My gluten-free MTO meal included: • 1/2 Egg Smash Sandwich + 1/2 Cobb Salad ☞︎ I added Pesto, Tomato + Crushed Red Pepper 🌶️ • Chocolate Covered Strawberry Açai Bowl ☞︎ My bowl had GF Granola + Almond Butter Drizzle + Blueberries • Signature B&B Smoothie ☞︎ The Blue Spirulina …. *chef’s kiss* 🙌 All of it gluten-free and packed with flavor. 🤫 PLUS, word on the street is the @girlies podcast + @bran_flakezz have added their own drink to the menu. I already know it is delicious, but the best part? A portion of the proceeds go to charity. Whether you live close to Upper Dublin or are down for a little road trip, @_bitesandblends will be well worth your while!

Here is what I ate GLUTEN FREE* at @babashotchickn ⤵️ I recently attended the Media Preview Night ahead of the Grand Opening for Babas Hot Chicken + Brews in Audubon, PA. 🚩 If you’re gluten-free like me, then the idea of going to a Nashville Hot Chicken joint is setting off all of the wheat-filled red flags in your head too. ‼️ Fortunately, Babas has some good and tasty workarounds that made it easy for me to fully enjoy their hot + tasty menu. 🌶️ Babas offers 5️⃣ levels of heat from ‘No Heat’ to ‘Permanent Insanity’ to combine with any of their 8 gluten free sauces. 🍗 There is not a GF breaded chicken option, BUT the grilled chicken tenders — available alone, in a bowl or over a salad — are juicy and a delicious way to try out all the flavors. ⭐️ I ordered and loved the Hot GRILLED Chicken Tenders in Hot Honey Sauce. TIP: Make it a meal by adding your chicken of choice to the ‘Burrito Bowl’ 🥗 And don’t forget the sides! Here are Southern-inspired gluten sensitive sides to add to your meal: • Coleslaw • Potato Salad (⭐️) • Collard Greens • Baked Beans (⭐️) • 4️⃣ Types of Crinkle Cut Fries 🍨 Last but not least, DESSERT! I will be heading back to try the vanilla custard, but I enjoyed every bite of the (nilla wafer-free) banana pudding (⭐️). The pudding isn’t offered on the menu without the wafers, but I’m sure Baba would be happy to hook you up. 😉 🎉 The OFFICIAL OPENING of @BABASHOTCHICKN is TOMORROW Monday 2/26 at 11AM. The first 100 guests get a FREE chicken sandwich! 📍 Babas Hot Chicken 725 South Trooper Road, Audubon, PA *NOTE: I do not have Celiac Disease. I tolerate cross-contamination.

🥪How To Make A Tuna Melt with @ScharGlutenFree Sourdough: SAVE THIS RECIPE FOR LATER ⤵️ This recipe is my go-to during Lent. So whether you’re looking for meatless options, a little comfort food or just something to change it up, a home cooked diner-style tuna melt is always a culinary win! 🥪 GLUTEN FREE TUNA MELT: ① Prepare tuna (chicken or tofu) salad to your liking and heat just to warm in a microwave or sauce pan. ② Heat olive oil/butter/ghee in a frying pan (1 TSP per sandwich) over low-med heat. I also spread butter on the bread. 💡Need an alternative? Use whatever you would normally heat in a pan to toast a grilled cheese. ③ Thinly slice a large tomato (2 slices per sandwich). ④ Prepare 2 slices of Schär Sourdough with 1 TBSP of tuna salad on each slice + 1-2 slices of thinly sliced Swiss, Provolone, or Gruyère on top of the tuna. ⑤ Once the pan is hot, place both pieces of prepared Sourdough (tuna side up) in the pan. ⑥ When the cheese starts to melt, use a spatula to gently slide the bread across the pan. This will help to make sure the bread isn’t sticking to the pan while also letting you feel if the bread is starting to toast and stiffen up. ⑦ After the bread starts to toast, add the tomatoes in 1 layer. ⑧ Allow to continue cooking for a few minutes until the cheese is good and melted. Remove from heat and put the 2 slices together (cheese to cheese) to create your sandwich. ⑨ Cut in half and serve warm for the perfect GF Deli/Diner Style Tuna Melt. 😍Although going gluten-free was a decision I made to better manage my autoimmune disorder, discovering the deliciousness of Schär products has made me a convert for life - GF diet or not! 👩‍🍳Craving a taste of comfort? 📲Pickup some @ScharGlutenFree Sourdough or Deli-Style Bread at your local grocery store.
