Riley and I tried a new line of tofu from @housefo

Riley and I tried a new line of tofu from @housefoodsamerica tonight and it was really good!

My favorite part was learning how versatile this tofu was. I made the Tofu Stir Fry and it was bomb! I loved this recipe because it was easy to make and tasted delicious! Also, I’m pretty much always down for any food with soy sauce and sesame seeds.❤️

Riley’s favorite part was “The Tales of Tofu” video series created to help families cook and eat together! We watched these video while we cooked and even that night in bed! 😩🤣

Check out my story to see Riley’s dance moves. ❤️🥰

This tofu is:
💫Made of 100% Non-GMO U.S. Soybeans
💫Has no cholesterol or trans fat
💫Is the freshest tofu in the USA
💫Is a great source of plant based protein.

📍Auston, Texas Rowing Dock🏞🛶

Another adventure for the books and another excursion crossed off our list. 📋

Here are a few pieces of advice if you’ve never been kayaking before.

1| While getting in the kayak: Say YOLO and jump in like a kangaroo. That “put one foot in and hold my hand” crap DOES NOT WORK for fun size fluffy women like myself. 🦘🙅🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️

2| While getting out of the kayak: Say YOLO and roll out like you’re on fire. But first, throw your phone and other personal item out! 🔥📲

It won’t be pretty, but at least you’ll be dry...well 84% dry. 🤦🏾‍♀️😝🥴🙏🏾

I’m completely obsessed with this new “De-Stress Kit” from @kneippusa! This awesome kit includes:

- The Pure Relaxation Mineral Bath Salt
- The Restoring Body Oil
- The Eucalyptus Bath Oil
- The Stress Free Body Wash

My favorites are the bath oil and mineral salt. These two combined will leave your skin soft and your muscles EXTREMELY relaxed. I feel so relaxed after only 30 minutes in the tub.❤️🥰

Check out this step by step to your new bath ritual!

🧖🏾‍♀️STEP 1: soak in this detoxifying salt in warm water for 10-15 minutes to unwind and relax to ease yourself out of your summer mood, and back to the daily routine. Pure relaxation bath salt https://www.kneipp.com/us_en/products/lemon-balm-mineral-bath-salt-pure-relaxation

🧖🏾‍♀️ STEP 2: rinse yourself with this moisturizing body wash with Mandarin and orange blossom to relax and hold onto that summer feeling. STRESS FREE BODY WASH https://www.kneipp.com/us_en/products/orange-blossom-mandarin-body-wash-stress-free

🧖🏾‍♀️STEP 3: Apply this great body oil after you wash/sanitize your hands to replenish lost moisture.

I never thought I'd actually look forward to getting my period! My new @shoprubylove Period-Proof Boyshorts and Leggings completely eliminated my menstrual cycle blues! These boyshorts are super stretchy, comfortable, and they have layers of protection. Now, I don't have to overthink my period or whether or not I messed up my clothes!

Thank you #RubyLove for the support women always needed.

Use my code LaurFit10 to save 10% on period leggings OR my code LaurSleeps10 to save 10% on sleepwear 🙂

Today is my birthday, and I’m aging like fine red wine. 🍷

I’m so blessed to see another year in this beautiful city of Houston.

I moved to Houston 9 years ago with a dollar and a dream; literally. I was a broke high school graduate with a big vision, a big mouth, God, and lots of bags. I’d be stretching the truth if I said I didn’t miss Indy from time to time, but honestly, Houston is home now.

Thank you, Houston.
Thank you for the lessons learned.
Thank you for my friends who have become family over the years.
Thank you for my beautiful baby girl.

Moving to Houston was the best decision I’ve ever made.

P.S. Now that my tears are flowing, don’t forget to meet me at my winery birthday soirée this Saturday! DM me if you would like to attend.❤️

Hey y’all! I have a lot of new followers, so I

Hey y’all!

I have a lot of new followers, so I think I need to reintroduce myself.💪🏾

My name is Laurin Jo and that beautiful little photo-bomber you see on my Insta feed is my daughter Riley Jo. Haha, joking! She’s the real star.😏

We are the mommy and mini duo known as The Life of Jo Jo Blog Influencers! We love travel, food, and new adventures! Come along with us as we work our way through this roller coaster called life, one experience at a time!🥰

I am completely obsessed with my new doorbell system from @heykangaroo! It’s super early to install, very affordable, and very reliable ( I would know I get notifications about the Amazon guy at the door all day long)🙃.

Let me break this down in 3 easy steps:
1. Once you receive your package, download the app.
2. Plug in your door bell chime inside your house.
3. Install your door bell outside of your door!

I also love this product because one the professional monitoring packages includes syncing to my Echo Dot (and you all know I love Alexa!)

After a long drive from San Antonio last weekend,

After a long drive from San Antonio last weekend, the only thing I could think about was a SPA DAY AT @prosperousparadisespa! Everyone was very nice and accommodating! Also, the full body massage was EVERYTHING! My favorite part was...a bit unexpected but when my masseuse climbed on my back and began to massage my back from mechanism anchored to the ceiling! This felt amazing! 🧘🏾‍♀️

You’ll have to go to experience this, but I promise you won’t be disappointed! They also have lockers and a bracelet to keep and ensure your items are safe, very clean showers, a sauna, and even a ICE ROOM!

I spent a good amount of my time in the sauna room with tea. This room had heated floors and walls and is perfect for hot yoga and meditation. I would love one of these rooms in my home!

Follow and visit @prosperousparadisespa today! You’ll thank my later!❤️

While in Austin, I found the cutest all pink TACO BAR!! The drinks are GREAT, the tacos are BIG, and the atmosphere is...well...VERY PINK!

Next time you’re in Austin, stop by Taquero Mucho. Tell them Lo sent you.😏💅🏾

I can always tell my birthday is coming up because the caliber of partnerships starts moving to the next level. 💃🏾💅🏾🙌🏾

Riley and I crossed ‘Hot Air Balloons’ off our bucket list. Although it was a tethered ride (anchored to the ground and 30-50’ in the air) the experience and the views were BREATHTAKING!!!

Check my story in the morning for the details of how they were able to keep this sucker from flying off.🤔💁🏾‍♀️

Alexa, put “When I Wake Up” by Miss Jill Scott

Alexa, put “When I Wake Up” by Miss Jill Scott on repeat.

Does anyone else have that one artist that just gets them?! I’ll be listening to Jill’s music like,” Sis, have you been stalking me or nah?!”

This particular album is my 5:00 a.m. alarm clock every morning. Starting with the song “Blessed”! Every word of that song and “When I Wake Up” could have came right out of my mouth.

I’ve had to learn some hard lessons recently, and while it’s not fun, Jill reassured me that “When I wake up everything I went through will be beautiful.”

Lord, please let me meet this beautiful soul before I come to you! 🙌🏾💁🏾‍♀️👯‍♀️💃🏾

Comment who you soulmate artist is below.❤️

My biggest flex is doing everything I said I would do. Even in today’s climate, I’ve still been crushing my goals week by week! And you know, there’s truly something beautiful about working hard for everything you have.

It’s hard work, but it’s beautiful and freeing! 🙌🏾💅🏾💪🏾

That’s all me.😏
