    The Kachet Life

    Lifestyle Tastemaker + Coach for Creatives

    Reflecting on My Goal of a Healthier Lifestyle

    November 12, 2019lifestyle

    This post was made in collaboration with Chase Freedom Unlimited. All opinions are my own.

    2019 Goals-Reflection

    Saying goodbye to summer wasn’t easy but fall has been really great. This past summer was a busy one for me between speaking at events, hosting many of my own, spending time with dear friends, and making health and wellness a priority. For me, fall hasn’t been just about cooler temperatures and indulging in my favorite recipes, but it’s a time for self-reflection and change as we wind down the year.

    If I go even further back than this past season and reflect on 2018, I can only think about how hard I was working on building The Kachet Life brand and keeping The Blog Bloc going strong with quality content and strong attendance to our events. I didn’t carve out a lot of time for myself outside of content creation and being totally transparent, I wasn’t as fulfilled.

    The Healthy Lifestyle Shift

    Making the shift toward a healthier lifestyle this year didn’t mean that my grind stopped, but the way that I worked significantly changed. The way that my money works for me has changed as well since using the Chase Freedom Unlimited cash back credit card.

    Work smarter not harder has been the theme of my life lately, and by earning 1.5% cash back with my Chase Freedom Unlimited cash back credit card, my everyday purchases work a little bit harder for me. I’ve been able to host celebrations to connect with friends, secure a personal trainer, take part in several professional development opportunities, and hit the road and enjoy some of Northern California!

    Earning Along the Way with Chase Freedom Unlimited

    While I’ve been earning cash back from my Chase Freedom Unlimited card, I’ve been surprised by how quickly it adds up. As a cardmember, you might decide to use your cash back immediately toward additional purchases, but for me, it’s proving beneficial to forget about it for now and save it for later.

    That’s the cool part of using a cash back credit card for essential purchases. The cash back can be part of your savings plan for something you’ve been setting your sights on. Maybe it’s a class you want to take or trip you want to go on with your family. With the Chase Freedom Unlimited card, rewards never expire so saving it just makes sense.

    My End-of-Year Plan

    When the year wraps up and I can look back on a great 2019, I plan to celebrate a year of healthier living and mindfulness by taking some much-needed time off…with myself. I don’t necessarily mean a huge vacation or a content creation journey with one of my favorite brands. I mean time for self-reflection and exponential growth during a personal retreat. My happy place is Sonoma County and I’m looking forward to another unplugged weekend (why wait for my birthday?) to just be present. I usually do not take any devices with me, so I am not tempted to check-in and it is such replenishment for the soul. That’s the vibe I want to take into a new decade.

    What about you?

    This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk back to the mean girl in my own head! That bitch always shows up right when I “get ready” to do something. What about you? Let’s face em together. 

There is no right time.
There is no cheat code. 
You just have to humble yourself, frickin show up and  DO IT.
It can be as fun or regimented as you decide so long as you are moving in a forward direction, a direction that takes you closer to that goal.

Are you waiting for the right time? And no, I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for myself. There will be no more ideas living in a notebook until it “feels good.” If it feels good, it ain’t growth or taking US higher!

Celebrate the win in advance if you have to. Whatever gets you going (yes, I believe in dessert first).

This week, L E T ‘ S 👏🏾 G E T 👏🏾 I T !  #levelupshowup
    WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME? That there is po WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME?

That there is power in community and Dallas reminds me a lot of Sacramento right now. Shoutout to @dallasites101 for going ALL OUT with their resources. 

That love will always save the day and maybe not in the way you think but just in the way you need. 

That having no power in or out of unit for days and not being able to leave because the roads are so bad is no fucking joke. Talk about a reality check and gratitude break on so many fronts. 

That I really need to get my emergency kit to include “Snowy Conditions” and get a damn shovel + boots. Maybe a truck instead of the Mini? 🚙

Who knew it got like this in Dallas?! 🤯🤯🤯 I didn’t. AT ALL. We’re beyond blessed to have a warm and safe place right now with food, hot water and more.

Prayers up 🙏🏾for everyone that is going through it during this time and for those that still don’t have power, that can’t get to loved ones and those that are having a hard time dealing with this on top of the fact that we’re in a global pandemic. I always say the new year truly starts in February, but it looks like it might be March this time. 

I heard it’s going to be 72 and ☀️next week… y’all, I can’t make this stuff up! 

Are you affected by the weather?! Where are you located?

    Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, her Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, here are answers to your questions (😆😆):
◾️Yes, it’s snowing in Dallas...it’s 12 degrees right now. And it’s gonna be cold with potentially more snow this week. WTF 
◾️We had power but now it’s off again...daytime is okay but night time sucks.
◾️I have on a fleece under here but of course when I posed, the sleeves pulled up in the coat (now I get the thumb hole concept...). I don’t own boots for this so my California is showing! ☀️🕶🌴
◾️ @lifeofrudytheboston HATES it as you can tell from his face...but he managed to run for at least 5 min with a pack of other dogs at the park. Thank the LAWD.
◾️ Being snowed in in a city that doesn’t do snow feels crazy. But it’s kind of nice and this will make a helluva story one day.

How’s your Monday going? Tell me somethin good! 🥶❄️☃️

I had another influencer tell me that once. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I haven’t ever nor will I claim to be one, but there’s something about personalizing a space and leaving no corner untouched that gives me a rush! And I will share it as long as I feel like it. 🤣 Small spaces are my jam, and in true Thursday fashion, I had to throw it back to the first place that truly got the wheels turning for me!

I called it the treehouse because it was on the 2nd floor and it was surrounded by trees! The only drawbacks were street parking, no laundry (fluff + fold, hello!) + the lack of counter space for a chef like me, but I made it work with a piece of wood that cornered the sink as well as a drop leaf table that was attached the wall. This space made it to @apartmenttherapy (linked the feature in my bio if you’re curious) and it affirmed my love of small spaces, as you’ve seen over the years. Fast forward to today — and I’m at it again! I’ve got a living room + bedroom on my hands. One is 50% complete. I’ll be sharing more next week and can’t wait to hear what you think!

What projects are you tackling this year? And what vibe are you trying to evoke? For me, it’s all about luxurious comfort and feeling like I’m on vaca. 🛋🏝😎#AtHomeWithKachet
