Denim Revolution
Jeans were invented by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss in 1873. Obviously, pants have been around for much longer but, the denim style jean pants started a whole new era. They were invented during the gold rush to serve a completely different purpose than they currently do. Historyofjeans.com shared, “They were first working clothes, then symbols of disobedience only to become fashion items. History of denim and jeans is long and colorful.”

Keto Friendly Eating w/FACTOR
I am super excited for this new trial run with the Factor meal plan delivery subscription! If you haven’t heard of it and you want to give a keto-friendly diet a try, I strongly recommend this super simple, convenient, and affordable subscription plan. Factor makes it easier than ever to follow with fresh, chef-prepared, low-carb, high-fat meals delivered right to your door. These meals cater to the high-fat, low-carb restrictions of a keto diet. Best of all, they take just minutes to heat, eat and enjoy! Which is why I am giving it a try. As a single mom of 3, running 2 small companies, I’ve given up on the idea that I have to make dinner so many times a week. At home, each of us has different food allergies or calorie requirements which makes it impossible to cook a single meal that satisfies us all.

The Shine Line
We are so excited to tell you about our dear friend and style influencer, designer, and female entrepreneur…Heather Parker! Heather and I have known each other since 2002. We immediately hit it off when we met on a choir trip to New York. Over sushi, we talked for hours and she quickly became a sister to me and even lived with me for about 6 months. Her family comes from Native roots, and they are seriously the most wonderful, kind, and loving family ever! We sang together in the Saints United Voices choir directed by Gladys Knight for over 15 years. We always shared ideas for businesses over the years and just love and support each other in our personal and business ventures. It’s so nice to have someone close truly understand what it means to be an entrepreneur while still nurturing our families.

In past blogs, we’ve talked about how matcha is rich in antioxidants, supports brain function, and reduces your risk of heart disease.

Post Covid Outlook
In my very first STYLE blog I wrote about “Gratitude”, which was inspired by some of the deepest trials in life. Here I am again on the heels of another trial, the first day leaving my house after 20 days of COVID. 15 of those days being the worst sickness I’ve ever had. Let’s be clear, I unfortunately still have residual symptoms and I will still have to ease my way back into life and health, but I finally feel like a person again.
Oga’s Cantina Review
Just to give you guys some background, here at S.T.Y.L.E we are huge Star Wars fans. So when I went to Disneyland last week, Star Wars Land was a must! Everything from the food, rides, and scenery (which I will review in upcoming blogs)! One of my personal favorite parts of Star Wars Land was Oga’s Cantina Bar.
Hawaii Food Review
Well friends…this blog is 20 days overdue! Yes I went to Hawaii with my best friend (first vacation since COVID), had a fabulous time (which I’ll put in all the juicy details here), then got hit hard with COVID the day I got back home. So forgive me if I haven’t been able to review all the wonderful food places, beaches and hikes til now. In fact, this post will just be dedicated to food!
Market Week At 19
Market week (through the eyes of a 19 yr old).... Being so young, and going into this career has given me a handful of “firsts”. One of those bigger “firsts” was definitely Market Week. At the start of the week I was anxious, excited, and blown away all at the same time. I come from the small town of Richfield, Utah with the population of about 7,000 people. So walking into The Las Vegas World Market Center you can bet my jaw was on the floor. The buildings were massive with vendors filling every room in all three buildings. Yes, let me say that again.. Not one, not two, but THREE buildings.
Matcha Monday P. 3
Hello Friends of the Matcha Revolution! I’m happy that you all are benefiting from these posts! I’ve had a few people reach out and tell me they read my blog and tried my “Secret Starbucks Matcha Recipe” (posted at the end of Matcha Monday Part 2) and loved it ☺ I’ve also had a few people tell me they had no idea how many health benefits it had and that they are trying to switch over from drinking coffee or pop (or soda as some call it…wink wink).
Sneaker Head
Hello Tribe! I can’t believe how long it’s been since I posted a “Fashion” Blog. The last one featured my Nike Air Force 1’s which I am a huge fan of. And since that first day of 2021, we’ve been lucky in our community that our children have had the ability to participate in sports. My oldest son plays Varsity basketball and one of the influences that being a basketball mom has afforded me, is my awareness of the importance of “Kicks”. My son is in full sneakerhead* mode these days. Not only does he appreciate Nike’s and wears them to dances, but he has started a business cleaning and restoring them! (Yes, proud mama moment!)
