Oven-Baked Strawberry BBQ Glazed Salmon 🍓✨

[ad] I love making salmon dishes for my family and this new @oishii.berry Strawberry Shishito Jelly added the perfect flavor—sweet and sticky with just enough kick.

Cooking at home is fun when you experiment with unique flavors and recipes! Here’s how I made it:

Ingredients:

Salmon fillets
Avocado oil
Sea salt
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika
Japanese BBQ Rub seasoning
Garlic Rosemary blend

Strawberry BBQ Sauce:

Strawberry Shishito Jelly
Smoky & Sweet BBQ sauce
Balsamic vinegar
Minced garlic
Honey
Paprika
Black pepper

Bake at 400° uncovered for 15–20 minutes. For a stickier, caramelized top, add the strawberry jelly toward the end and switch the oven to broil for the final 1–2 minutes.

Saute green beans, broccoli or your choice of veggies, toss it with a little olive oil, sea salt, and cracked pepper. Serve the finished salmon with rice, quinoa, or even roasted sweet potatoes.

What dish would you add this strawberry shishito jelly to?

Hormone-balancing breakfasts that actually keep you full 🍳🥑

Fuel your body by adding nutrients, color, and variety before worrying about what to subtract from your plate. When your morning meal has a solid mix of protein, healthy fats (super important!), and complex carbs, your energy stays steady through the day.

Here’s my lineup:

1. Maple cinnamon oats with coconut sugar, blueberries & mixed nuts
2. Breakfast tacos with chicken sausage
3. Greek yogurt bowl with chia seeds, cherries, berries, dark choc & honey
4. Multigrain toast, veggie omelette, sausage, hash brown, mixed greens
5. Veggie omelette, hash brown with avocado and berries

Save this for your next grocery restock or morning meal prep 🫶🏾

Why I swapped to non-toxic toothpaste (especially with sensitive teeth) 🦷🫧

[ad] If you struggle with tooth sensitivity like I do, what you brush with matters so much. Traditional toothpaste can be harsh on enamel, and making the switch to a fluoride-free, non-toxic oral care routine is one of the easiest ways to support your overall wellness and hormone health.

My bedtime routine:
1. Alcohol-free, dye-free mouthwash
2. Tongue scraper
3. Gentle floss
4. Remineralizing toothpaste, upgrading to @davidsoralcare Hydroxi

Why I like Davids:

• Nano-hydroxyapatite is the same mineral our teeth are made of & helps to naturally remineralize enamel and ease sensitivity

• Fluoride-free & non-toxic for a cleaner, hormone-friendly routine

• No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives

• No harsh foaming agents (SLS-free)

Treat your smile with the same clean intention as the rest of your wellness (& skincare) routine ✨

Have you made the switch to nano-hydroxyapatite yet? 👇🏾

Found a grocery store chain that sells fresh, natural, and organic foods called Yes Organic Market located in the DMV. I immediately got lost in the supplement and clean snack aisles. Everything from herbal tinctures to organic menstrual care items to clean pantry staples. They have it all! 🛒🌿

Are you a “go in for one thing and leave with ten” kinda person or do you go in with a list? 🤓

• CBD balm: targeted relief for lower abdomen and back @jointjoint.topicals
• Epsom salt soak: feet or body, helps soothe muscle aches @pharmaca
• Organic period products: keep them stocked so she never has to ask @hereweflo @marlow @vivforyourv @natracare

🍫 Nourishment & Hydration
• Warm ramen: easy on digestion, warm broth comfort @akiraramen.official
• Anti-inflammatory foods, drinks & hydrating snacks: keeps bloating down and energy steady @lakewoodorganic
• Dark chocolate: natural mood boost plus magnesium @raakachocolate

🫖 Sip & Soothe

These are quick, low-effort comfort ideas that I use to ease cramps and discomfort.

Made with healthy ingredients, packed with flavor, and it’s good for you 🤤🧆

The ingredients:

I love an easy and affordable lunch that helps me meet my nutrition goals. On Fridays at @falafeldc they have a BOGO free deal on falafel sandwiches (only available on the app) and it’s just $5!

How I order (on the app):
- get everything on it plus add pickles
- extra side of garlic sauce when I pickup

That’s it. So simple. Fridays at falefel are my fav 🤎

🛒📝 LUTEAL PHASE | Anti-inflammatory Grocery List

Save for your next grocery restock!

You want to consume healthy, nutrient dense foods that will help remove excess estrogen from the body BEFORE your cycle starts.

The more greens, fruits, fiber and gut-healthy foods you eat, the less intense cramps will be.
These foods can help reduce the amount of prostaglandins (hormones that cause cramps) in the body. Eating cleaner can also help with mood swings and improve your overall wellbeing!

Try it and let me know how it goes! What are you adding to your list?

Back to the basics. Focus on the small things, they add up. These are my daily practices 🫶🏾

Morning routine! How you start your day matters 🤓

🌞 Sun in the eyes for hormone balance
💧 Water before caffeine always, wake your body gently
🧘🏾‍♀️ Stretch like your body depends on it (spoiler: it does)

Afternoon mood boost 🐣

🥤 Hydrate (with fruit & electrolytes — smoothies are my fav!)
🚶🏾‍♀️ Step outside for some fresh air, your mind will thank you
🥙 Eat veggies with whatever you have for lunch

Midday break 🤸🏾‍♀️🍫🥜

🥕 Eat your nutrients, think about where you are in your cycle and what will make your body feel its best to get through the day!

Evening wind down 🌙

🏋🏾‍♀️ I prefer working out at night, helps me sleep better
🍲 Add that fiber and protein to your plate to balance everything out
🫖 Tea for digestion, feels like a warm hug
📖 Read, journal, watch a show—whatever helps you relax and destress, but mix it up sometimes! by @sohealthyofme

A day at @thespacollegepark 🧖🏾‍♀️💅🏾

I get salon anxiety easily, so when it comes to where I get my nails done I’m picky. This full-service boutique spa truly exceeded my expectations 🫶🏾

I got the Southern Difference Signature Pedicure and it was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience! From the ambiance, to the soothing jazz music, and the friendly staff. My nail tech Dana was such a professional (it helps to have a gentle, skilled tech who puts care into what she does).

They also do facials, red light therapy masks, massages and waxing. I’ll be going back for my wax soon 😌
