I'm working on a project for a client and have fallen in love with these Marcello Counter Stools from Ballard Designs, only problem is they're not available until the beginning of May! Anyone know of anything with a similar look (and price tag)?? If so, please leave me the info in the comments or drop me an email. Thanks for your help!

Finishing up my weekly newsletter this morning & giving you all the tea about why some people think I’m a bitch. Here’s a hint: BOUNDARIES. • Head to my website & sign up for my newsletter if you wanna read it in the morning because it’s ONLY going on to the people on my list. You’ve been warned!!! 🤷🏾‍♀️ www.daykarobinson.com
Over the course of my life, I’ve wanted many men to “choose me”. Lots of them didn’t. 👫 We women have long been taught to focus on being “chosen” by a partner. Deeply desiring to feel good enough, smart enough, gregarious enough, quirky enough, pretty enough for a man to look at us & say to himself: “Her. I want her.” Completely. Confidently. Certainly. 💏 But as I look back on the ones who never chose me & I’m grateful they didn’t. I’m grateful that each of them looked at me & said “no”. Maybe it was because I wasn’t pretty enough (for him). Smart enough (for him). Too confident (for him). Too sassy (for him). Didn’t have the right body (for him). Or I wasn’t his “type”. Or maybe deep down....maybe he just knew that HE wasn’t enough FOR ME...long before I could acknowledge that reality for myself. 🙅🏼‍♂️ I look back at all of them now & I am so grateful that they clearly knew something I did not. And that they honored their “no”. That they kept me from letting mediocre love lead me to a mediocre life. That they kept looking for the one who was right for them, which allowed me to stay available for the one who is right for me. 🙋🏾‍♂️ Sometimes a “no” from someone doesn’t mean that YOU aren’t enough but instead...it’s their way of acknowledging that THEY aren’t. That they might drown with you. That they don’t WANT to go to the mat with you. That for whatever reason...it just ain’t YOU. And there is beauty & honor & possibility in that. BEAUTY that your story is still being told. HONOR because they told the truth about their feelings. POSSIBILITY because it means there is a deeper, more ALIGNED love out there waiting for you. And call me crazy but....I think that’s something to be grateful for.❤️ #SoDayka
The only thing you should ever be seeking (in this life) is ALIGNMENT, which is basically a SOUL thing. It’s about breathing & moving & living in this world in a way that is IN AGREEMENT with your spirit. But you have to know your VALUES to be able to do that. Because VALUES are about so much more than “What do I want to do right now?”. Instead, they act like a topographical MAP OF YOU.....and your behaviors are the GPS that direct you towards the best, fastest way to actually meet YOURSELF. How dope is that?? #SoDayka
One space left for my next Lost & Found Marrakech retreat this June!! You comin’?? 👀 #LostAndFoundMarrakech
You have to consciously & intentionally CHOOSE to be transformed into something new. Because transformation does not just “happen”— it👏🏾is👏🏾a👏🏾choice👏🏾. #SoDayka
People change & seasons change & desires change & goals change & relationships change & feelings change & ideas change & bodies change. And evolution doesn’t actually give a fuck if you like ANY of it, because it is happening to each of us either way. Evolve or be dragged. • Nothing is meant to stay the same, but it is ASTONISHING to watch the ways we humans kick & scream & cry & bargain & try to claw our way back to our comfort zones the very MOMENT it looks like we’re being INVITED to grow & evolve. Yet we keep saying we wanna grow & be different & be better....🤔 • Transformation NEVER happens without discomfort. Ever. • We’re so socialized to focus on “goal execution” & “achievement” that we’ve forgotten that there‘s a HUGE difference between where WE see ourselves going & where GOD sees us going. Between the lessons WE THINK we need to learn & the lessons GOD WANTS us to learn. And if you haven’t noticed—rarely are they the same thing. • I think the trick here is learning to not just embrace the idea of constant change but to LEAVE ROOM to be transformed & evolved in ways that we can’t yet even imagine. Ways that will hurt sometimes. Ways that may hurt a lot for a long time. • I never prayed for this body but I sure am grateful it was given to me. I thought I was here to learn one thing but it turns out..... I can here to learn something totally different. And then to take what I’ve learned & teach it to you, too. Amen for that. 🙌🏾 #SoDayka
Went back to start with the BASICS in my newsletter this morning. Click the link in bio to head to my website & sign up for my email list if you’re not already on it!!
Mint tea is served EVERYWHERE in Morocco & I’ve learned that there’s a precise method to making a great pot of tea, the main ingredient being TIME. (and a lot of sugar, too) • When you stay for awhile you start to know who serves a really great glass of tea—sweet but not too sweet, just the right amount of foam on top (who knew a sign of good tea was FOAM??!) and HOT. You start to learn how to taste the difference between mint that’s really fresh & the stuff that’s been left over/close to going rancid. It’s really mind blowing to see how your palate can adapt so quickly.... • And that’s the thing about immersive travel—it forces you out of your comfort zone by necessity until one day you look up & realize that you’re not the same person you were before you arrived. You know know things you didn’t know before. You’ve tasted foods you’ve never had before. You’ve learned hacks & tricks you never used before. You know where to find the best sushi in Marrakech or that the small vendor who makes the delicious little fried dough balls with sugar in the grease-stained paper doesn’t open until after 4pm, even though there’s no sign up on his shop. You know things. You’ve met people people clear on the other side of the world who you had ZERO idea existed just a few weeks ago. And just like that, you aren’t the same person you were before. Because of tea. Or geography. Or friendship. Or privilege. Or conversation. YOU KNOW THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW BEFORE. And THAT is what it means to not just change but to be TRANSFORMED. #LostAndFoundMarrakech
I‘m obsessed with my Intention Bracelets & have been thinking about other products I could create—that DAYKA would wear—that would provide the same intentional message I preach & practice. And then it hit me: INTENTION SWEATSHIRTS!!! So I’m making them! • TRUST GOD is the first one out & not only do I LOVE the front design but I’m obsessed with the back, too. I knew I wanted to put an affirmation somewhere on the sweatshirt, so I added one ON THE BACK, right underneath the collar (see 2nd pic). Because—while YOU will be able to read the affirmation every time you put this sweatshirt on—I love the idea that the person WALKING BEHIND YOU is the one who really benefits, as they’ll be reading it in their head as they stand behind you in the checkout line. In first person. 🙌🏾 So you can be out in the world wearing my sweatshirt and spreading love & self esteem to people you don’t even know. How cool is that?? • And in MORE cool news, there’s now FREE SHIPPING for everything in my shop (US only) because..... why not??? 🤷🏾‍♀️ • So will you buy my sweatshirt today?? Click the link in bio to purchase yours now!! #SoDayka 📸: @kaynjames
