A huge thank you to our amazing community for coming out to support our LOCAL restaurants and shops during Mac N Cheese Mayhem! It was a gorgeous day for enjoying mac n cheese and strolling the streets. Special thanks to our judges for the tough job of selecting HighDive Kitchen + Bar as their top choice, while the people’s vote crowned City Centre Market & Deli in a close race among four contenders! All of our participants deserve an ENORMOUS round of applause for their tasty creations and hard work! We can’t wait to see you next month for Kids In The Zoo!

As shared on last month’s blog (link in bio), I continue to embrace every part of me. #MyHDLife

Since Friday’s Beach Day, Meditation, Prayer, Reiki & this morning’s Hilke… I have been Bold, Radical & Intentional about taking care of Me.

I know what I give, will come back… As such, maintaining Self-Love/Care Practices & Modalities is what allows Me to Show Up as Light & Love Energy…

Lean into Self-Love… Embrace the most important love of all…Self-Love🤍🤍🤍

Practice Self-Love… Pamper Yourself & share this message w. someone who needs a reminder to Love Themselves Too!

‘Be The First To Put You 1st… In All Ways & Always🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
