What is the deal with face toners? (read that again in Seinfeld’s voice). I haven’t always used a toner to be honest and was always wondering are face toners necessary? What is their purpose and do we need a different one depending on our skin type? Because I am not a skincare expert (I just really like skincare and beauty), I also wanted to get some perspective from an actual expert as well. My goal in writing this post is to get to the facts about face toners and to share how I use them. …
Facial Reflexology: AKA Face Tools That Improve Your Skin
If you are into health, wellness and beauty then I am sure you have heard of face rolling. Perhaps you’ve seen jade rollers popping up everywhere, I know I have! While I was attending the Holistic Beauty Expo (an annual expo on all things natural and holistic beauty), I stumbled across facial reflexology. To say I was curious was an understatement. I was very close to buying a rose quartz roller at the expo, but after I tried these tools, I was hooked. I’ve been using them daily for a few months and definitely noticed some changes in my skin and knew that I had to share. So get ready because today we are talking all things facial reflexology!…
Joyous Health Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Are you into having healthier hair, naturally? You may want to have a look at what ingredients are in your shampoo and conditioner. Even though you may think it isn’t all that important as you are just washing it out, it does matter. I’ve been using natural hair care products for about five years now and was really happy to see my fave holistic nutritionist, Joy McCarthy launch her Joyous Health shampoo and conditioner. So if you want to know how I like it, stay tuned for my full review! …
The Wellness Business Academy: My Review
I had so much great feedback from part one of my story on becoming a holistic nutritionist from those wanting to get into holistic nutrition and run their own business that I knew I had to write part two. So before you read this, maybe you want to read part one first. The thing is it was really hard to do it all on your own, so I needed to get help, enter the Wellness Business Academy. Because just becoming a holistic nutritionist isn’t enough and neither is all the schooling, sorry not sorry. If you want to make a greater impact, you are going to have to step it up, put yourself out there, hustle and be in alignment with your greater purpose….
10 Ways to Deal with Stress and Anxiety, Naturally
I think it’s safe to say that there is no escaping stress in our lives and finding ways to deal with stress effectively is so important. Unfortunately, anxiety doesn’t seem to be something that a lot of people want to talk about, even though so many people are dealing with it. It wasn’t until this week when news broke about Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain that I thought to myself I need to share more about my own struggles. If its something we all deal with, why are so many suffering in silence?…
Grilled Romaine Salad with Chickpea Croutons
Nothing says summer quite like a BBQ, right? Well, unfortunately, I live in a condo and don’t have access to a BBQ, but I make do with what I have the best way I know how. So I used my panini press and grilled my romaine on that. It isn’t perfect, but it gets the job done for the most part. If you’ve never had a grilled romaine salad before, you need to change that! It completely changes the game, trust me. If you hate turning the oven on in the summer, it’s also a good idea to buy some pre-roasted chickpeas as well. And who doesn’t want to save time and sanity in the kitchen……
Best Foods for Healthy Skin: My Top Five
I don’t know about you, but I am pretty obsessed with healthy skin. I love to keep my skin looking glowy, dewy, hydrated and just as radiant as possible. Of course, it doesn’t always look picture perfect because that isn’t real life either, but when I make sure to incorporate more nutrients into my life, I notice a big difference. I love including fun superfoods and supplements for added skin benefits, but I’ll let you in on a little secret, you don’t need to have them. Regular food (and water) can also do wonders for our health and our skin. Today, I am focusing on the best foods for healthy skin, which include my top five favourite beauty foods that you can start including right now to help boost your skin’s appearance. …
Jicama Tacos with Jackfruit: Grain Free & Vegan
I cannot even begin to tell you how good these jicama tacos were. I want to throw out that term “life changing” but it’s sooo overused (in the blogging and food world) and I don’t want you to think these are overhyped because they are not. I was talking about them for days after I ate them and even my boyfriend, Sam, told me I had to blog this recipe. He is always brutally honest when it comes to recipes and so if you are a little weary of how these taste, don’t be! Trust in the process friends and just make these jicama tacos in some form because they are legit PERFECT for spring and summer. …
How to Become a Holistic Nutritionist: My Story (Part One)
One of the most popular questions I get via Instagram is without a doubt how to become a Holistic Nutritionist and create your own business. It was a good indication that I needed to actually share my whole story on what led me to this career, how I got started and what school I went to. The field of alternative health and wellness and holistic nutrition seems to be growing at rapid speed and I love that this shift is happening. I believe very strongly in the power of alternative health, but that doesn’t mean I also don’t appreciate and recommend western medicine as well. I think that there is a time and place for both and it is never my place to judge one or the other or anyone else that decides what is right for them….
Birthday Cake Energy Balls + What I am Loving Lately
Funny thing about me is I actually don’t really love too many sweets and birthday cake is usually a little too much for me, but Sam lovessss birthday cake. Actually he likes anything sweet, especially in candy form and lots of sprinkles. So I basically made these healthier birthday cake energy balls for him and obviously had to use sprinkles. They add such a nice touch and what is a birthday cake without sprinkles? Sad, it’s a sad freakin’ cake. After I made these I had to test them out on Mr. Sprinkles himself and he LOVED them so much that they didn’t last longer than 24 hours in our house… so you’ve been warned. Maybe you want to hide them in the freezer so you don’t eat them all so quickly, I definitely will do that myself next time. …
