Ha, I'm addicted to sweet potato!!! I eat it like two to three times a day, is that weird? ;) Thanks for the comment Kola!
Trail Mix Smoothie Recipe
I've gone rogue in the smoothies realm. Out is all that powdery crap and in is the real deal. Real nuts and seeds and dates and just go for it and don't hold back (unless, that is you don't have a Vitamix ). This smoothie makes me think in a stream of consciousness, that says the hell with ...
Aw, thanks Drea!
Warby Parker Review
You guys, I never used to wear glasses. I thought I had perfect vision because every time I went to the doctor they said my vision was 20/20. Well that was a bunch of, well bull. Years went by and I had the worse eye strain. It got to the point where I couldn't work on the computer dur...

Hi Joanna, so good to hear that! Thank you for sharing your story. I too felt silly when I first did it, but it's become almost main stream nowadays so don't be embarrassed! It's so worth it, was a life changer for my skin :)
Honey Facial Wash
I'm all about the purest, most natural skincare products I can get my hands on. That's why, I've been using organic raw honey as my facial wash for the last three years. It's the best and I don't think I could ever go back to using any kind of soap on my face or some fancy face-wash with...
I'm sorry I didn't see this before! No, I don't warm it up, no need to. I would just try a different honey, it sounds like the one you used may have crystalized. You can find my recommendation in the blog post :)

Hi Tess, thank you!
I use a Canon Rebel xsi with a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens, but will hopefully be getting a new camera soon!! I write more about it on my FAQs page:

Yes, you never know! Very excited for BM :)
Music Festival Face Paint at Desert Hearts
And to think I almost didn't use my camera while I was there. That's the thing about going to these festivals. I want to be in the moment. I don't want to feel like I should or need to be doing something. But for some reason, at this particular time, I decided to bring my camera ...
Aww, Tanya, you made my day :) Thank you. Wow, that's so cool about Warby Parker, had no idea. Now I like them even more.

Yes, been using it! Thanks!
How to Clean Your Lululemon Hot Yoga Mat
I love my Lululemon yoga mat. It's cushy and soft on my hands and wrists. It's perfect for hot yoga classes. It's just the best...in my opinion. When I first got it I had no idea how to clean it. I was getting various suggestions like just use lemon juice or just baking soda and water. ...
You're very welcome :)
Roaming Leucadia
I have sort of a magical relationship with Leucadia. First time I came to this little town was in the summer of '99. I was with my family heading down to Las Gaviotas in Rosarito from Ventura for a long weekend. We stopped in Leucadia on the way because my dad had to pick ...

Hi Linda, of course, as long as you link back :) Thanks!
Haight-Ashbury
I kept looking at this wall through the window at Cha Cha Cha on Haight-Ashbury while dining on cajun shrimp and paella, talking shop with my brother after a long day of information overload and I couldn't look away so I decided to take a picture. xoxo...Kate

Wow. Thank you for the comment. That quote is such a life changer! I'm going to have to contemplate this for awhile, but it certainly feeds into what I've been experiencing and maybe I shouldn't be so afraid of it. Thank you again for sharing :) Namaste.
Out of Body Experiences and Astral Projection
I'm going out on a limb with this post because I honestly feel like somewhat of a freak telling people that I've experienced this. But recently I did a post on Vivid Dreaming and Dream Journals describing my ability to have very realistic dreams to the point where sometimes I can't tell if ...
Thank you for the kind words :) It feels good not be alone out there in the world!
Transitions and Listening to Your Intuition
The older I get, the more I realize that life does not always stick to the plan that you once envisioned. Things change, they get rough, they just don't turn out the way you want them to no matter how much you try. I'm being very vague. I know. I'm going through one of those times and I'm...
Same here, I try to think of a logical solution and I'm sure there may be one out there, but there's too many serendipitous and unexplainable things as well. If anything else happens to me along these lines, I'll most likely share it on here if it isn't too personal. And I'm always down for a positive unexplained phenomenon! We shall see...

Hi Marissa! The paranormal thing was half cool, half totally freaky and messed with my head for a good amount of time. I don't know if it's worth a whole post, but I witnessed a large sliding glass door close on its own. It's framed in heavy wood and I tested it afterwards. There is no way that thing could close on its own. Anyway, this happened around the same time as the OBEs. I was so scared for a long time. Now, I'm pretty over it, haha. Haven't experienced anything weird like that since and I'm okay with that :)

Nice, sounds like the perfect backdrop decor for a jewelry line! :)
Painted White Washed Driftwood DIY
It's been ages since I've posted a DIY project on here. The truth is I've sort of gotten away from DIYs as my interests have drifted to other things (no pun intended), but this one is so easy and pretty, I had to share it. I've also created a new category here on Bohemian Kate called Be...
Thank you Jayme. For now I'm just sticking to natural shampoo that doesn't totally dry out my hair. I wish the no poo thing worked for me. The egg was okay for a bit, but honestly, I was becoming a very unhappy person with dirty hair! Given the circumstances, oily scalp and hard water, it just didn't seem to be balancing out. I may give it another go in the future. For now, I'm not gonna lie, I'm enjoying having clean fluffy hair. But I'm still open to ideas!
My No Poo Experimental Journey (and Failure)
I know the title sounds harsh. It's not easy to accept that going no poo did not work for me. Considering I have this blog, considering I try to use the most natural ingredients possible on my skin, I wanted the no poo I've been hearing about for years to work for me as well. Well, it d...
Painted White Washed Driftwood DIY
I love the look of driftwood and it definitely has a presence in my new home. There's something about white washed driftwood that I especially love... Continue reading

Thank you Tasha :) Things are getting better. Kind of have to get through the bad stuff first, learn the lesson and how to make things better. I really appreciate your kind words!. Hope things are okay with you too!
