This past weekend I was meant to be diving in @visitalbeaches for the first time but the weather had other plans!

It would have been my first dive since going with @allstarliveaboards to the Bahamas a few months ago.

The reason that’s so noteworthy is I was having zero anxiety going into this dive trip which I credit completely to the fact u went on a liveaboard (and that the crew at All-Star was so patient and welcoming and accommodating).

I was so excited to dive for the first time without anticipating a panic attack but I’m still so happy with how far I’ve come.

So thank you again to All Star for being so amazing (you truly have no idea what you’ve done for me) and Gulf Shores/Orange Beach — I can’t wait to dive into your waters next spring!

My heart is with New Orleans (and the rest of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida) right now that is about to experience one of the most catastrophic hurricanes on the exact 16th anniversary of Katrina. 16 years later and NOLA still is recovering; this will be heart wrenching.

A two-part post.

1) Happy 1-month anniversary @chiefpred74 (I promise I won’t do this every month guys 😂). Not much has changed except every few days one of us randomly says “HEY! … We’re married now!”

And honestly that’s perfect.

2) Sad that our @predsnhl lost last night but if the 2nd half of this season and 4 straight OT playoff games in a row proves anything, it’s that you can’t keep discounting us. To next year! 🏒🥅

✨Creature Feature Friday AND #EndangeredSpeciesD

✨Creature Feature Friday AND #EndangeredSpeciesDay✨

I mentioned I saw my very first sea turtle underwater (a loggerhead) while on my @allstarliveaboards in the Bahamas. But that wasn’t all — I also saw my first green sea turtle and my first hawksbill (pictured here). I then went on to see several more hawksbills just on this one dive.
🐢
Nearing the end of the trip, I was finally feeling more in control of my anxiety. But considering a panic attack was triggered just *thinking* about diving, I wasn’t considering myself “cured” of diving anxiety.

So when it came time to dive the infamous dive site called The Washing Machine, I heavily considered sitting it out. Not only was it a drift dive (of which I had only just done my first one) but it was one that seemed like it could be fun but also … not. 🤣🙃
🐢
I got it together though and took a ride in the spin cycle (for real) and was highly rewarded by this dude right here.

He was just snacking away with no worries in the world and when we approached (respectively) he stopped and swam towards us to check us out and eventually decided he’d just go back to eating.
🐢
It was magnificent and probably one of the biggest highlights of my trip.
🐢
Unfortunately, like all other sea turtle species, they are endangered and the biggest threats to them include:
– bycatch in fishing gear
– loss and degradation of nesting habitat
– vessel strikes
– direct harvest of turtles and eggs
– ocean pollution
- hawksbill specifically have been historically harvested for their “tortoiseshell” pattern that’s used for jewelry, sunglasses, etc.
🐢
What’s one #endangeredspecies you’ve seen in the wild?!

Do you want to see something magical? Swipe left to see why I go to bed dreaming about breakfast.

(#AD) I found out about The Not Company's (@notcous) NotMilk™ a few months ago and I've been enjoying it in all the ways people can enjoy dairy milk.

But, one of my favorite things to make with it is smoothie bowls! The variety of ways you can make it are neverending.

I typically use frozen and very ripe bananas (you know the ones you buy and forget about it) as the base but have also made smoothie bowls with frozen peaches and pineapple as well!

Then you combine that with milk and a variety of superfood powders and top with whatever toppings are speaking to you that day.

You can grab NotMilk™ at Whole Foods in either whole or 2% (I'm a 2%-er!)
