Upgrading Indio’s Dog Food With Earthborn Holistic

Meal time is Indio’s favorite part of the day! When I brought Indio (my standard male labradoodle) home from the breeder, she had a specific puppy food brand that she wanted me to feed him. Normally, dogs need to eat puppy food until they are about 18 months old! Now that Indio is nearing adulthood (I can’t believe it!), I wanted to re-evaluate the dog food we feed him. Indio is my little baby, so it’s really important for me to know that he is eating dog food that is delicious, nutritious, and safe for him. I’m so glad that I found this amazing brand, Earthborn Holistic, that offers a more holistic approach to pet nutrition with nourishing, high quality ingredients!

With everything going on in the world right now, there’s nothing more important than keeping ourselves and our loved ones healthy. This means a boost to the immune system is absolutely crucial! I really wanted to find a product that could not only help with immunity but could help with other health issues as well like hydration, bloating, and gut health all of which I struggle with. That’s why I’ve added Superfood Tabs to my daily regimen to make sure I’m getting the kick my immune system needs!

Schyler and I moved to Nashville, TN about 4 months ago. What we love about Nashville is that there are so many cool things to do, places to shop, and delicious dining! It’s not a huge city so you can get to a lot pretty easily. Nashville is the country music capital of the United States so naturally the city is filled with music history! You can hit Broadway St. any day for live music at the honky tonks. Luckily for me, there are tons of cool murals, old buildings, and neon signs to shoot at (my favorite backdrops). So I thought I would share my top favorite Nashville Instagram spots with you guys! I’ve left tips and addresses too to help you guys out 🙂

A little while before Schyler and I moved to Nashville, my sister and I shot these retro photos! I had spotted these locations while driving around Portland and had them written down on my phone for future shoot locations. All of the photo locations were very retro and funny enough they were all car businesses! If you guy’s are new here, you should know, I love anything retro! On one of the days my sister had off from work we finally went and shot these photos! I love how they turned out so I had to share them with you guys.

I’m currently in the process of decorating the balcony patio of my new Nashville apartment.

I love creating digital mood boards to get the look I’m going for in my head on visuals. I thought I would share my mood board with you guys in case anyone else is trying to get that effortless modern bohemian look! All of these pieces are from Amazon and most are Prime eligible!

Slowly but surely my Nashville apartment is coming together! The process is going a little bit slower then expected due to everything that is going on in the world right now but I’m not complaining. It gives me more time to think about what I want to do with the space! My living room is about 95% done (I still need a coffee table and I would love a record stand) so I thought I would go ahead and share it with you guys 😀
