LOVE: bamboo toothbrush and tooth tablets

what i love these:
because normal toothbrushes have multiple plastics in them, they’re non-recyclable. these bamboo toothbrushes are fully compostable, even in our little compost container. you can tell your dentist “no thank you” next time they offer you that toothbrush after your cleaning.

i tried a few things before i chose tooth tablets to replace my tooth paste - i.e. tooth powder and fully recyclable toothpaste tubes like David’s. i found the tooth powder felt like i was eating chalk powder and the David’s tubes to be too difficult to clean to recycle — all personal preference! these tooth tablets foam up and dissolve when you chew them then you just brush like normal ✨

February Challenge!!
i feel like they’re everywhere this month. my guess is to target those New Years resolution-ers who have started to fade out. the name “challenge” has stuck with me. the first antonyms that come up are peace and acceptance - both of which im trying to invite more into my life. i so often already feel like im in a state of challenge, swimming up stream and trying to figure out how to turn around so i can feel more in the flow. feel more peace and acceptance.

i’ve participated in my fair share of challenges throughout the years, don’t get me wrong. but maybe instead of a “challenge,” we call them…something else. any ideas?? our words matter. they’re how we communicate and elicit emotion. i don’t have the answer quite yet, just the question ☺️

i say this a lot - often to remind myself. it’s applicable to any relationship. when really hard things happen, and we hear about or experience them, every person involved is only as able to show up to whatever degree they have practiced and resources/tools to do so. it can be a hard pill to swallow sometimes. i genuinely believe there are a very small number of humans with malicious intent. most people are trying with what they can, even if it may not feel that way in the moment.

every day we show up in whatever capacity we can. it can change day to day, moment to moment.
as my girl says, stay awkward, brave and kind. and keep doing your best. 🤍

as i’ve shared with some of you, i’ve decided to step away from teaching public classes for a bit. i don’t know how long my teaching recess will last, but i do know after 5+ years of teaching i’ve strayed further and further from my own practice. it’s a hard hard decision for me, because i genuinely love teaching and i love connecting with my community (YOU!). when i contemplated what in my life could give to best tether me back to my inner self, this was it. my hope is to be back soon in some capacity after i’ve taken care and find my way home again in my own practice, so i can show up the way i want to for those around me. 🤍

join me for my last 2 classes this Saturday, 1/22, and next, 1/29! ✨ register online

a few people have told me they want to be “greener” in the new year, so this is for YOU! i have your back! 👏

and to make it even easier, I’ve created an insta guide with some of my favorite zero waste shops for each of these ways to be a little more earth friendly! don’t strive for perfection. you don’t have to do it all at once, but here and now is a great place to start! 🌿

sitting here reflecting on how i spent most of my childhood, and into adulthood, being embarrassed of my Japanese heritage. i especially hated my middle name, Chiyo, after my Japanese great aunt. i wouldn’t tell people it if they asked or i’d whisper it as quietly as I could. i’d pretend to laugh along when people made fun of it, “it sounds like chia, like a chia pet!” i’d think, why couldn’t i have gotten my American great aunt’s name for a middle name like my sister? i asked my parents if i could change my middle name to “rose” (yes, it was just after the Titanic movie came out). 🤣⁣
⁣
today i feel lucky to be Japanese. 🎌 it’s part of my unique story, part of what makes me, me. i wouldn’t have it any other way. and guess what...CHIYO, CHIYO, CHIYO!!! that’s MY name! I’ll shout it from the rooftops! 🤗

“where are you from?” ⁣⁣⁣
Me: “Columbus, OH.”⁣⁣⁣
“No, like where are you REALLY from? you know.”⁣⁣⁣
me, mostly sarcastic: “ohhh. do you mean my ancestry???? my family is from Europe and Japan.” ⁣⁣⁣
i can’t even count the amount of times i’ve had this interaction with people over the years. it’s seared into my memory and makes me skin crawl when I think about it. it’s not that the people who ask me this aren’t genuine. they usually are, which makes it worse. ⁣⁣⁣

𝐢’𝐦 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. 𝐢 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐢 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. i’m proud of who i am and where my family is from and has overcome. ❤️🇯🇵
