Flashback to Milan.😍🇮🇹 One of my favorite things to do when I’m in a new city is to simply get lost in the beautiful streets and wander. 💫 I’ll always make sure to spend time in the most important and historic spots💯, but exploring with no real itinerary has always brought me the most memorable moments💞, the best hidden gems✨, the most delicious foodie finds 🍽and connections with friends of a lifetime. How do you like to explore new places? 🗺 What are your best finds? Please share! I’d love to add it to my travel blog.📝 #SerenaLoves ♥️ #TravelisLife ✈️

So honored to be a part of this noteworthy charity event in Florida as a guest judge and as a panel member for the Women of Influence in Hospitality & Business!👩🏻‍🍳🌟 The Tampa Bay Food Fight raises awareness and support for Metropolitan Ministries and their Inside the Box Culinary Arts Program, which provides 100 scholarships to at-risk students to gain education and training in the culinary arts.🔪📚 I truly believe that spreading love, kindness and inspiration, especially to the younger generations, empowers all of us collectively.✨ And what better way to share that message than through the language of food!😍🍽 #SerenaLoves ♥️ #BeHope 🌟 #GiveBack 🤝 cc: @metro_min @itbtampa

In honor of the full moon in Aries♈️, a client of mine hosted a beautiful full moon dinner party last night with a specific request for my special chocolate layer cake.🍽🍰 This particular full moon is the perfect time to release and heal past wounds, reflect on your relationships and renew healthy boundaries in order to protect and nourish our energies, our passions and our purpose.🙏🏼💖 It's a reminder to step into your power mentally, energetically, spiritually, emotionally, professionally and financially. You CAN have it all.💯👊🏼🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've shared the photo before, but not the recipe and it's finally up on the blog, just in time for #WellnessWednesday.🎂🍫 Here's to gluten-free, vegan, refined-sugar free heavenly decadence. #HarvestMoon 🍁 #FullMoonParty 🌝 #SerenaLoves ♥️ #VeganTreats 🌱

A year ago today, I was rushed to UCLA ER by a neighbor who also happened to be a UCLA doctor. At the time, I was so exhausted & worn down by all the responsibilities I had on my plate, between my businesses; the startup process of Just Add Water™; caring for my dear Grandma; supporting my family & allll the people I love, that my body had physically broken down. MRSA, a deadly staph infection I contracted during an operation years ago, had been a stubborn enemy in my body for the past 7yrs, with periodic flare-ups of extreme illness & fatigue, to periods of dormancy when I was able to manage it through my knowledge of food & nutrition. But even after 6 surgeries, it would not completely go away. A year ago today, the MRSA came alive angrily & aggressively & I had to be placed on high doses of IV & oral meds ASAP, with a plan for surgery as soon as the infection was contained. I did not foresee all the challenges I’ve faced in the short span of the last several months & the loss of my Grandma that broke my heart in such a way that I had to shut down for a period of time. A year ago today, I also did not foresee the BREAKTHROUGHS I’ve experienced, the overwhelming LOVE & support from people in my life & from YOU, my online family. I did not foresee the beauty of SURRENDER that came to me while I was recovering from surgery, battling through unforeseen complications. I did not foresee the incredible opportunities that surround me today, the growth of my businesses despite taking so much time off to heal & recover, the successful reception of Just Add Water by our community & how our brands have been embraced by everyone we’ve shared them with. I’m not sure if I happen to feel extra emotional today, or if in this rare moment of complete stillness & solace, I am just feeling allll the feels. But tears are streaming down my face, as my deep gratitude feels like it’s literally pouring out of my soul. This quote captures the greatest lesson in life. It is the inner truth that reveals itself in the shine of your own light. This is what happens when you surrender - TRUST takes over. And it is truly this trust that is the key ingredient to miracles.#LetYourLightShine ✨
