Rooted In Love is a 30 day plant-based cleanse designed by Lauren McAbee of Essential Thrive. #thesavageway

During the month of February, we are participating in an awesome program called Rooted in Love. This 30 day plant-based cleanse, designed by Lauren McAbee of Essential Thrive, is meant to rejuvenate your love of self and lead with a compassionate heart.

WHAT IS ROOTED IN LOVE:
– Plant-Based Diet (meaning vegan, whole foods)
– doTERRA Cleanse Protocol
– Daily Mantras paired with doTERRA essential oils
– Chakti Yoga (every Monday, Wednesday & Saturday)

Full disclosure, I (Paula) was a vegetarian for 8 years and in November of 2016 both Torrie & I went vegan – so this cleanse was not that big of a leap for us. However there are 23 people participating in this cleanse and they include all walks of life – vegetarians, meat eaters, junk food lovers, health enthusiasts and new plant-based eaters. It’s been awesome watching others discover the power of plants and just how good food can taste when you eat clean.

WHY ROOTED IN LOVE:

The goal is to fall madly in love with you – to appreciate exactly where you are right now – this body, this mind, this strength. When you can slow down and realize how incredibly lucky you are in this world, it is easy to show gratitude. Too often, we criticize ourselves and are too hard & rough with our egos. Rooted in Love is the perfect time to change all that. This 30 day cleanse uses essential oils to connect to our emotions, to create the space we need to heal those criticisms. It uses plants to heal our cells and allow the body to function exactly as it should. It uses exercise to build not only strength, but confidence in how the body moves.

It’s been going great and we are over a week into it now. Here are a few of the delicious meals and snacks we’ve been preparing using plants & creativity or that we’ve found at local vegan restaurants like Living Kitchen and Namastay Kitchen.

Make sure you follow along with @thesavageway on Instagram Stories (that’s where we post all of the cleanse yumminess). We will do a follow up blog at the end of the month to let you know how everything went. In the mean time, you can check out more info on Lauren & Essential Thrive by checking out her Instagram, Facebook or joining us for a Chakti Yoga class. If you’ve ever heard me or Torrie talk about this booty-shaking, hip-hop yoga class, then you know how amazing it is.

Side Note: If anyone is interested in learning more about this cleanse or how to take this leap into the plant kingdom, send us an email at [email protected]. We’d love to chat! Here’s to being Rooted in Love. Every. Single. Moment <3

Clean Graffiti for Healthy Home Market

Clean Graffiti for Healthy Home Market

There are times when your real-life and work-life magically align. For #thesavageway, that magic moment was when we were contracted to do some Clean Graffiti for Healthy Home Market.

For this campaign, we focused on the Galleria / Matthews store location (1816 Galleria Blvd). We created an intricate stencil template to create the tree and promote the locally grown, locally owned premise. In fact, we based our design off of the print ad below (on the left) that is seen across Healthy Home Market’s promotion efforts. As you can see, we were able to adapt their message to the Clean Graffiti medium in an exceptional way.

The creative process can be very intricate for Clean Graffiti. #thesavageway
