Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
If there is just one thing I would do for my skin, it would be to exfoliate. I mean, besides cleansing my skin, exfoliating is a close second in my skincare routine. Because I’ve been taking care of my skin for as long as I can remember, I’ve also tried a lot of different products. Some I have purchased over and over again and others not so much. And now I want to share the best natural exfoliators I’ve found with you.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had “interesting hair.” When I was younger, I had this wavy, thickkkk, uncontrollable hair. And in elementary school I would always wear my hair up in a bun because I didn’t know how to style it and neither did my mom. She had no idea how to control it. Then one day, a kid asked me why I always wore it in a bun. I didn’t have an answer, I was incredibly shy and didn’t want any attention on me. So I decided the next day that I would wear my hair down. My mom asked me, “are you sure?” and I said yes. That was the last time I wore it down for a while haha. I’ve since learned how to manage my hair and because I have so much of it, I like to stretch my hair washing days as much as possible. So I rely on dry shampoo A LOT. I wanted to share the best natural dry shampoo and products with you, so here we go.

I can safely say (and I am sure almost anyone would agree) breakups SUCK! Recently, in November/December 2018 I went through my first major heartbreak and it nearly broke me. In fact, for a time, it did break me. I couldn’t focus on anything, had zero appetite, couldn’t sleep and cried more than I ever thought possible. When I was going through it, I didn’t think I’d ever get past it. It felt like the hurt, anger, disappointment and sadness would stay with me forever. In the months that followed the breakup, I managed to work on a few things that really helped me feel stronger than I had ever felt before. Self care after a breakup is possible and today I am sharing five ways I learned how to practice self-care.

Snacks are oftentimes a necessity when you are caught between meals or just need an extra little something to help with hanger. I know how difficult it can be to pack snacks for busy weekdays, so I kept things really simple.

So I wanted to share some of my favourite easy healthy snacks from brands that I trust and use myself.

If you would have told me I’d be writing a blog post about how to grow your online business a few years ago, I would have thought you were crazy. When I started school at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (IHN) in 2013, I had no idea how much my life was about to change. To say that this school changed the trajectory of my life is not an understatement.
