These Natural Wood End Tables are made from 100% reclaimed wood and finished with a zero-VOC sealant. The perfect addition to your Avocado collection! 

From a young age, I’ve been a bit, shall we say, *high maintenance* with my sleep accessories.

There, I said it. 

A nightstand has always been essential to me, supporting my bedside buddies like a glass of water (always), hand cream (a must), my glasses within reach (I’m blind without them!), and for most of my adult life, my clear plastic retainers (sexy, I know). 

And then there’s the fun stuff, like the latest book club book, a tangle of gold necklaces and rings, and a framed picture from yoga teacher training. 

You get the idea. 

That’s why I was so excited to receive my new Natural Wood End Tables before moving to Maryland. 

What better time than during a move to de-clutter and refurnish a new bedside table?

The delivery guys unwrapped them on either side of my bed, revealing two beautiful pieces of natural wood furniture for me to put all of the bed things on.

These Natural Wood End Tables feature reclaimed wood, eco-conscious materials, and environmentally conscious manufacturing.

It’s the perfect piece of furniture to house your room’s essentials, the fun non-essentials, and everything in between.

I love my  Avocado Mattress Natural Wood Bed Frame made from 100% reclaimed wood and finished in Rustic Raw with a zero-VOC sealant!

In March of this year I received my last big delivery before quarantine back when COVID was just a hushed whisper on the news.

I’m honestly *so* glad that I received my Natural Wood Bed Frame before we went into full quarantine here in Virginia.

The delivery guys assembled in quickly and easily in less than 10 minutes and left me with a beautiful solid piece of natural wood furniture to rest on.

When it seemed like the whole world was hunkering down, I was able to crawl into bed and sleep on a sturdy sustainable foundation!

So, I shared a bit about my decision to try a natural wood bed frame on Instagram and promised to share my thoughts in a blog post.

The Avocado Mattress Natural Wood Bed Frame features reclaimed wood, eco-conscious materials, and environmentally conscious manufacturing.

It’s the perfect planked beginning to your sleep scenario.

My experience with receiving my certification in Plant Based Nutrition via eCornell’s Nutrition Studies Certificate Program.

If you’ve been following along on Instagram you might have seen that I recently became certified in Plant-Based Nutrition!

I started the coursework in the thick of quarantine and finished just as summer kicked off.

If you’ve been around here a while you know I have a *general* idea of what’s good for us.

Mostly, I know what type of foods fuel me and make me feel my best.

Then I like to photograph them and share them with you.

I usually keep my nutrition talk to a minimum because I’m a medical professional or a licensed nutritionist or a licensed anything.

I was so excited to take the Plant Based Nutrition eCornell Certificate Program to ground some of my excitement about a whole foods plant-based diet in science and fact.

The course reinforced a lot of what I already intuitively knew about plants, grounding that knowledge in scientific research.

I’ve provided some information on my experience below outlined in a Q&A fashion for anyone also interested in learning more about the course!
