Over the past few months, I’ve tried to focus more on things that make me happy and are not attached to any type of work. As someone who is super ambitious, I always try to find a way to monetize something or do more work with something, Like I just can’t help it…but I’ve tried my best to find ways to relax and open up my inner child learn more about myself laugh and be open to more genuine friendships as well. (Even though being an introvert gets the best of me sometimes😅) Try to find more moments where I’m not trying to be a perfectionist, I’m just trying to be me. I want my daughter to see me, of course, as her loving mom, but as a woman as well, who loves herself and loves things that make her happy. Cheers to a journey of ME🩷✨ This is your reminder to do the same mommy🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 #mommymoments #introverted #momlife

My problem is I want to relax, but also do a million things at once. 😅 Wanted some PR packages and that turned into getting brand deals. I started one business and it turned into multiple businesses, writing a cookbook, being in a commercial, and 630,000+ followers across my platforms. 😭🙌🏽 Thank you guys for continuing to support my journey as a content creator & influencer (even while I was taking a break lol). It means everything to me!🥹🫶🏽💖 You can also follow my new page @stitchingwithdereka sharing my journey as an introverted stay at home mom, romanticizing my journey of discovering hobbies like crochet, reading, and more!📚🥰 #contentcreator

🎀 PATTERN RELEASE 🎀 Today’s the day!!! I’m so happy to finally get to share this one!! The Ruffle Raglan is one of my favorite designs. It’s fun and easy to make and creates such a unique yet very wearable sweater. And can be made in sooo many color combos!! Just look at all of the gorgeous tester versions. This would be a great stash buster project. It’s made to measure, raglan style, and uses three colors of yarn! I used a worsted weight wool held with a lace weight mohair, but you’re welcome to get creative with your yarn choices! The pattern is suitable for crocheters of all skill levels - beginners who know the basics and beyond. It’s very detailed with lots of photos and tips to help you along the way. Thank you again to all of my lovely testers for making this pattern possible! This is such a special group of women and I’m so grateful. 🥰❤️ I’m so proud of this pattern and am stoked to send it out into the world. Any shares would be so so soooo deeply appreciated 🫶

Get $100 off the Nama C2 Juicer + Blender Combination using code MYBGR100 🙌🏽😁 THIS WEEK ONLY ‼️ (Offer ends 4/20) Vegan Apple Spice Cake 🌱🍎 (Gluten Free) Fresh apple juice?? It’s one of my favorites but even more delicious in this gluten free, apple spice cake. I made the fresh apple juice in my @namawell C2 juicer and milled homemade sprouted oat flour in the blender attachment.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8” pan with parchment paper or lightly grease. 2. Juice apples with the Nama C2 to make 1 cup fresh apple juice. (If using dates, blend them into the juice now.) 3. Grind oats in the blender attachment to make oat flour, if not using pre-ground. 4. In a large bowl, whisk oat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. 5. In a separate bowl, combine apple juice, applesauce, maple syrup (or date-blended juice), and vanilla. 6. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Fold in raisins or nuts if using. 7. Pour into pan and spread evenly. Bake 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 8. Cool completely before slicing. 9. For the glaze, blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add more plant milk 1 tsp at a time if you want a thinner glaze. Drizzle over completely cooled cake.
