FRIENDS!
Two of my oldest and bestest friends live too far from me. Both have incredible taste buds and a similar reverence for vegetables. Frankly, I want to see and taste what they’re eating and concocting on a more frequent basis.
The three of us have traveled the world together, eaten well, had some interesting cocktails, more interesting juices, and discovered that when mixing all of our concealers together, we can wear each others makeup… THE (con)FUSION!!!!!!!!!
Brittany
Brittany and I have been talking about a shrimp she ate when she was 9 years old for about 20 years.
In addition to being the best human being to have in your energy field, Britt has an incredible ability to make beautiful and healthy food. She’s currently dabbling with naturopathy and I want to see and eat everything that goes in front of her face.
In her own words:
Marianna
As I was writing this Marianna face timed me to show me she was boiling hay. This Brooklyn girl is not only my partner in purposefully maintaining an early 90’s lingo, but is also mad smart, yo.
An environmental engineer living in California, Marianna can be frequently found creating concoctions to cure everything from bloat, to restlessness, to the need to buy soap. Currently dabbling in tinctures, I want to see the mad scientist lab that is her kitchen.
In her own words:
True dat. Although my “mad dope” has turned into “hella bomb” living on this left coast, Jasmine’s got me pinned pretty well. Yes, my academic and career life has been based in environmental engineering, labs, and science, AND at the same time I have a super strong affinity to plant medicine/herbalism, the utmost respect for mother nature, and listening to grandmother’s tales of healing waters and the like – not sursprised science is proving so many of these knowings to be true lately. Food is medicine?! Duh!! Congrats on proving that, science. Love that this blog is all about FOOD! Let us heal ourselves, our loved ones, our neighbors, and let it taste AMAZING while we’re at it! Thank you J!
I like to live in the space between nature, magic, science, and music. And although herbal skincare product crafting has been my main jam as of late – I can get pretty down in the kitchen and I must say, it usually turns out HELLA delicious.
