Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Mindful, Crafting, Hula-hooping machine
Crafty people inspire me. There’s something about the art of crafting that brings me back to childhood. It fills my soul with the feeling of playfulness, freedom & not taking life too seriously. So it’s no surprise that when I met Tori of kitchen + kraft, I was immediately drawn in by her playful nature. With a tagline of “rad things for mindful living,” you’ve totally got me sold 😉 I’ll let you meet Tori for yourself, and hopefully you too take a away a little inspiration!

MESSAGE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH OTHER HEALTHY CHICKS: I believe 100% in synchronicity. I think that when you’re following your heart and living your passion, things line up as they should and assure you that you are on the right path. Listen to that voice inside of you and do you, always. You’re the only one that can make YOU happy.
