1) What makes your heart sing?
My family, my son, my horses and puppies. There are definitely relationships in my life that make my heart sing. Without the wonderful spirits we cling to, life would be ordinary wouldn’t it?
2) Your food is really delicious and nutritious, I’m not sure how you manage to put so much love into it. What is your secret to achieving your business and creative goals so successfully?
You are very kind, thank you for the good recommendation. It’s not really a secret, and I’m only thinking about it myself. I try to take each day as a new opportunity. An opportunity to grow, to embrace the messages of the universe, and translate them into my business and my existence. I try to channel this energy as much as possible because without the support of universal alignment things can drag and stick. So riding that wave is how I can fit everything into this life!
3) As a young mother and business owner, do you have any self-care habits or principles to help you fulfill them?
YES! I am riding my horses. Being with them is the only way I can truly fill my cup (and fill theirs at the same time), and leave feeling replenished, refreshed, and ready to take on anything! In running my business I tend to spend a lot of time in the masculine (decision-making, direct, expansive), so it’s important to feed my feminine soft self reflective yin as often as possible.
4) What item on your menu do you consider a beauty food?
I would say there is a lot of hype around things like collagen and rosewater and pearl (all in our beauty products) that are considered beauty foods. But to be honest, I believe that with passion all our food gives the inner and outer beauty of the mothers we feed.
5) Do you have a mantra or motto that you live by?
Not particularly, but I have a litmus test for anything I commit to in this life. It has to both 1) bring me joy and 2) align with my universal path. When I commit to something and encounter a lot of opposition and resistance, I try to take myself out of the situation and reevaluate its purpose in my life. If it’s to teach a lesson (like labor and delivery) I move on, but if it doesn’t really help I move on.
6) Are you a mermaid or a forest fairy?
100% forest legend!! I come to live in the woods.
7) What’s on your nightstand?
A salt lamp, an assortment of essential oils, and the Cat in the Hat! My little man loves that one.
8) Where do you see Twenty Five Eight in the next few years?
Cross country! It is on my vision board to take this work and service as far as possible to serve women and mothers across the country. At the same time, we continue to find the best nutrition for both our customers and the great Mother Earth first.
SaltedChocolate Tahini
1/3 C organic raw tahini
1/4 C organic maple syrup
3 T coconut flour
1/4 t sea salt (plus a large flake salt sprinkle on top)
Paleo chocolate bar OR 1/2 cup paleo chocolate chips
1-2 T coconut oil
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini maple syrup and salt until combined. Next, add the coconut flour and stir until well combined. Place the dough in silicone squares (we use thissilicone sheetfrom Amazon). Freeze for 20 minutes. While you’re waiting, melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil to thin it out (if needed) to make it easier to spread. When the dough is very cold, take it out of the fridge and pour a little chocolate over each square. Sprinkle a few pinches of sea salt and rose petals, and refrigerate.
Store the squares in the fridge until frozen (or very cold). Then pop them out of the mold and enjoy! They can easily be refrigerated for up to a month in an airtight container.
