TCM ritual for better hair 🖤
In Chinese Medicine, black sesame is known to nourish the Kidney & Liver systems, which are connected to hair vitality, growth, & overall essence (Jing).
When the Kidney essence is strong, the hair is said to be thick, dark, and resilient.
Black sesame paste ✨
• 1 cup black sesame seeds
• Toast on medium heat 3–5 minutes (no oil)
• Cool & blend in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth and paste like
• Add 1–2 tbsp neutral oil if needed to help it emulsify
• Optional: pinch of sea salt or raw honey
consistency matters - eat 1 tbsp spoon daily
If you’re in a season of depletion, this is an easy place to start 🫶🏽

Love bubble 🫧
I thought being pregnant with a toddler was hard… but two under two is a whole new level of chaos. As exhausting as it is, I find myself trying to slow down and savor the moments, because I know how fleeting this season is.
My biggest challenge has been learning how to divide myself between two little ones, meeting their needs while still remembering my own.
It might not be my year to do all the things, but it’s definitely my season to be present… the years I’ll someday want back 🤍
