It was an exhausting week last week as we anxiously awaited the presidential election results. I was stress eating and going through a roller coaster of emotions.

I took this weekend to celebrate being a woman and women everywhere. What a huge leap forward we took on Saturday as we introduced Kamala Harris as the first female Vice President! What an inspiration and proud moment in history. I’ve always believed women should have a seat at the table because our voice matters and we don’t give ourselves enough credit. Let’s be honest, behind every strong and powerful woman is herself and a tribe of other incredible women who have paved the way.

Sharing one of my favorite quotes for whoever needs to hear it today -

“You are busy doubting yourself while others are intimidated by your potential”

In celebration, I made these decision and scrumptious blueberry muffins with brown sugar crumble to celebrate this momentous occasion! They are a perfect breakfast pastry and an instant boost of happy :)
