  • His checkup went so well and is aging gracefully. As his vet said, “He hasn’t gained weight, he’s just carrying it differently!” His eyes are a little cloudy but nothing bad. His ears look flawless for being 70 years old (in dog years). May we all be this happy at every age in life in whatever ways our bodies change. #deshlyfe #cockapoo
  • It’s been like... 5 years since I did one of those 〰️ about me 〰️ posts. I see new + interesting people follow me and I want to learn about you, too! ✨ I’m a 32-year-old, female (she/her) small business owner located in Columbus Ohio. I’m half Filipino and have been married for 10 years. I have a cockapoo (a dog, not a bird) named Desh. I’m an introvert but love being social. ✨ I co-own @thewonderjam with my husband @adamlehman. We are currently a team of 10 (😱) and we specifically exist to help small businesses with design, marketing, photography and more. ✨ At this point in my life I’m passionate about creating a healthy workplace for my team and why other businesses should be focused on the same, helping our small business clients who are self-funded, talking about anti-blackness and not allowing personal conversations that I’m a part of to be vague when addressing racism, eating local foods and dealing with my own shit in therapy so I can be a better friend/wife/family member. ✨ So now it’s your turn. Who are you?? I need details.
  • My sister is getting married to her best friend and as someone who is married to her best friend, I am extremely excited for them. We had to write down advice for them today at their shower and my advice was to not take everyone’s advice as truth (sorry, I spoiled it @oliviajocson @bigevatron). They’re great just the way they are.
  • Pretty much cooking all my meals with Ohio grown food this summer. Don’t worry, I still ❤️ you, fave local restaurants. Adam and I own our business together. We’re pretty much together all day, every day. But when it comes to meals, we tend to eat at different times and/or different types of foods. Cooking, for me, feels creative. Making food means learning new recipes, trying out my own and taking time for myself — disconnected from a screen. If you loathe bulk meal prep, check out @lallimusic’s cookbook. If you struggle with your relationship with food and dieting, check out my friend @simibotic and all she offers. If you like to eat a certain way (or eat all the things), comment below with any favorite food-related accounts/cookbooks/resources. 🍲
  • I have a weird relationship with furniture. I rarely spend more than $400 for a piece of furniture (aka I ❤️ Craigslist and FB Marketplace). We’ve also gone without a coffee table, a bed frame and rugs for years. What we HAVE spent money on has been our king mattress (Helix), ChiliPAD (regulates temp) and our Buffy comforter. Our bank account has paid the price for our love of sleep so lol not sponsored. #neversponsored #butwouldtakefreethings #callme
