Although it may seem like meal prep and planning doesn’t fit into the intuitive eating philosophy, I don’t think that’s the case. By having a weekly meal planner, it can significantly lessen the burden of what to eat, and, if done correctly it can be part of your intuitive eating journey as well. Gone are the days of having the same boring meals everyday, lifeless salads and grilled chicken. Meal prep and having a weekly meal planner can actually be fun and part of a healthy lifestyle, promise. …
Weight Loss and Intuitive Eating: Why They Don’t Work Together
Weight loss and intuitive eating, do they belong in the same sentence? As intuitive eating becomes more and more popular in the health and wellness scene I have noticed that some are confusing intuitive eating as another diet. They place restrictions and rules where none should exist and some even seek it out to lose weight. As a Holistic Nutritionist, I used to feel that I should be promoting weight loss because weight = health, or so I thought. It turns out, there is so much more than that and weight loss truly is not the answer we’ve all been searching for. The weight loss industry takes up a massive chunk in the health and wellness space and even when the term weight loss isn’t quite as prominent, it is often times the underlying message. The term “Get Healthy” is often times followed by a thin white woman holding a pair of jeans away from her toned stomach to show how she lost all that weight. And so somehow along the way getting healthy has become synonymous with weight loss. How did we get here?…
Are Face Toners Necessary: The Best Ones For Your Skin
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. …
