TW: Long post but PLEASE read until the end. It is so important❤️ I recently went on my first undercover op with SOSA (@sosatogether), a nonprofit that works with law enforcements to identify and apprehend online child sexual predators. SOSA originally had a show called Undercover Underage on Max, which is how I found them, and contacted them to get involved. I have been that victim on the internet and in person SO many times and now that I am older and have nieces that age, it hit me how much something NEEDED to be done. Even though the show is no longer being filmed, SOSA’s work continues and I have found an additional purpose working with them. It means so much to me that I am now a donor, a volunteer, and a member of their advisory board🫶 SOSA is run by @roo_pow, an amazing woman who is sometimes referred to as the second real life Olivia Benson— after the character my friend Mariska plays on SVU! Roo was even undercover as a buyer of CSAM— legally known as child pornography, which is as you can imagine, (but please don’t) the most haunting job. Child abuse, exploitation, sex trafficking are growing at lightning speed, and the world hasn’t caught up with how dire the situation is. Roo and the team have been working with law enforcement to arrest these predators and have been so effective. Up to now, their conviction rate has been 100%. During my first op, SOSA was able to arrest 7 men and get warrants for more. The time and effort that goes into creating these decoys is incredible. I was in awe of the blood, sweat and tears that they put into what they do. They experience the worst of the worst to be able to take as many predators as possible out of the lives of victims— and potential victims. Their dedication is endless. I’d be so grateful if you would share this post because it is SO important to raise awareness for parents AND kids to understand how serious this is. SOSA relies on donations to be able to do these ops and pay for the therapy they provide for the victims. They’re a small but mighty organization! Following @sosatogether and sharing this post does a LOT to help raise awareness. If you’d like to donate, I included a 🔗 in my bio🤍

FYI Chloe is doing great so don’t worry! I know this caption is so long, but please read until the end if you have the time *second half continued in comments*❤️
Thank you for this beautiful, impromptu piece @sirinate.s You captured her perfectly. Pic 4 was the reference photo 🥹 This tattoo will forever be my favorite. Words will never be able to fully express how much, and what, this tattoo means to me but I will try❤️
August 27th, 2016 (pictures 5-10) was one of the best days of my life because I rescued my soul dog Chloe. Prior to contacting a GS rescue, I didn’t know much about the rescue world. I had only ever had one dog (I got Casper in 2014 when I was 16), and he was not a rescue. When I decided to get a second dog, I was introduced to rescue and immediately knew I wanted to learn more and get involved. After doing some research, I chose to rescue. Once I moved out into my own place, I contacted a GS rescue in downtown LA and connected with the most wonderful woman, Maria Wagner @wag_tales (she runs @smileytailsrescue now), who let me know they had just brought in a stray female that she thought I may be interested in. I told her I wanted to come and meet her right away. When I got there, it didn’t take long to know I was taking her home. When I looked into her eyes, I knew it was meant to be. I knew she was my best friend, and one of the deepest connections I’d ever have. She is my whole heart. I don’t know where I would be without Chloe, and even the smallest thought of one day doing life without her breaks me to my core. The day I rescued her she began to heal my broken inner child without me even realizing it. Chloe ignited my passion for rescue and showed me my purpose🤍

FYI Chloe is doing great so don’t worry! I know this caption is so long, but please read until the end if you have the time *second half continued in comments*❤️
Thank you for this beautiful, impromptu piece @sirinate.s You captured her perfectly. Pic 4 was the reference photo 🥹 This tattoo will forever be my favorite. Words will never be able to fully express how much, and what, this tattoo means to me but I will try❤️
August 27th, 2016 (pictures 5-10) was one of the best days of my life because I rescued my soul dog Chloe. Prior to contacting a GS rescue, I didn’t know much about the rescue world. I had only ever had one dog (I got Casper in 2014 when I was 16), and he was not a rescue. When I decided to get a second dog, I was introduced to rescue and immediately knew I wanted to learn more and get involved. After doing some research, I chose to rescue. Once I moved out into my own place, I contacted a GS rescue in downtown LA and connected with the most wonderful woman, Maria Wagner @wag_tales (she runs @smileytailsrescue now), who let me know they had just brought in a stray female that she thought I may be interested in. I told her I wanted to come and meet her right away. When I got there, it didn’t take long to know I was taking her home. When I looked into her eyes, I knew it was meant to be. I knew she was my best friend, and one of the deepest connections I’d ever have. She is my whole heart.

This Greek Lemon Chicken Potatoes recipe is one I crave OFTEN. It’s a really great weeknight dinner that you can prep ahead of time and just pop in the oven when you’re ready to make it!
Chicken & Potatoes
1 package of skin on bone in chicken thighs (4) & drumsticks (4)
1 package of 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (tenderized to create even breast sizes)
(It is not necessary to do both, Luke and I just like both)
Lemons— sliced 1/4-1/2in
12 Garlic Cloves— crushed
6 garlic cloves minced
2 large Russett potatoes (skinned and cut into thick wedges)
1/2 cup chicken broth
Marinade for both potatoes & chicken— (taste as you go for exact amounts!)
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
Lemon Juice
Dijon mustard
Pepper
Dill
Honey
Salt
Oregano
Crushed rosemary
Parsley
Roasted garlic powder
Greek spices blend
Lemon pepper
Minced garlic cloves
**Different methods of marinating & cooking for the different chicken types!
**Marinate chicken in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but not longer than 2-3 hours.
**Occasionally massage chicken & potatoes that are in ziplocks in fridge (THROUGH THE BAG, NOT IN) to redistribute marinade if it starts separating!
**Heat oven to 425 for potatoes & 400 for chicken. If you need to place all in one oven, do 400, and add potatoes in first. The potatoes take an hour or more depending on the thickness of the slices, so add time on to that if all 3 are cooking in 1 oven. You want the potatoes so tender they almost break apart when you stick a fork in them! Cook chicken until internal temperature reaches 165. Time will vary depending on oven space! My potatoes were in the oven for about an hour and a half & my chicken thighs & breasts for about 40 mins.

Inspired by MK’s Moist Coconut Cake Recipe 🙂 I have only made a few cakes in my life so I am learning just like y’all!
Cake—
2 1/4c flour
1/4c cornstarch/corn flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt (if using salted butter, do 1/4tsp salt)
1/2c unsalted butter
3tbsp vegetable oil
1 2/3c white sugar
3 eggs
1.5tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp coconut extract
1/2 tsp almond extract (unnecessary but I like it!)
1 1/4c canned coconut milk
1 cup shredded coconut
Preheat oven to 325 and grease the bottom and sides of two 8in cake pans. Line the pans with parchment paper as well. (Don’t make my parchment paper mistake lol. Just line the BOTTOM of the pan with it!!!)
In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Whisk until well combined.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, add in your butter, veggie oil and sugar. Cream for at least 2 minutes, until lighter in color.
Add in eggs one by one, mixing between each egg.
Add in vanilla, coconut extract, almond extract & a half cup of the coconut milk. Mix until well combined. After this you will no longer be using your stand mixer!
Add in half of your wet ingredients to your dry mixture and fold in until just combined. Add in the remaining 3/4 cup coconut milk and fold in until just combined. Next add in the rest of the dry ingredients & fold in. Be careful to not over mix!
Fold in the shredded coconut and then distribute the batter evenly into two 8in cake tins. Bake for 35 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. After baked, let the layers cool in the tins for about 15-20 mins and then take them out and allow to cool completely before frosting.

Sneaking veggies into recipes that taste like dessert is my vibe. Luke & I both like these muffins better without chocolate chips, but you can totally add them in if you prefer! Recipe below, let me know if you try these 🙂
Zucchini Walnut Muffins—
2 Zucchini – grated
1.5 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup olive oil
1 egg
3/4c white sugar
2tbsp milk
1/5tsp vanilla extract
Walnuts!
Optional choccy chips (didn’t like)
My batter only made 9 muffins because I like puffy muffins but I liked the aesthetic of showing all the cute colored muffin liners in the pan 🙂
Preheat oven to 375 & prep muffin pans (I’m using my new ones from @caraway_home – obsessed!😍)
Wash and dry zucchini. Next, grate zucchini & squeeze to remove excess water from your grated zucchini before adding to bowl.
In a medium bowl whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg until combined.
In a small bowl mix egg, oil, sugar, milk & vanilla.
Add wet mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until combined. Once combined, fold in walnuts and chocolate chips (if using).
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop batter into your muffin liners. Add some more walnuts on top and then put in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Enjoy!
