All About the Sober Curious Movement & Dating

March 5, 2020 By jaclyn 1 Comment

I remember first hearing about the sober curious movement about a year ago on a podcast. I was intrigued by the movement but I was unsure if it was something I wanted to try, or even if I could do it. This isn’t to say I drink a lot or all the time, but I definitely enjoy wine and a good cocktail. Just have a look at my logo and you’ll see a martini glass. Truly, I’m all about balance and I still believe that drinking can be part of a healthy lifestyle. But when I found myself single for the first time in 14 years, I noticed how much I relied on drinking to make myself feel comfortable. And I wanted to explore that, so here we are…

As August is winding down and September is right around the corner, it’s almost time for pumpkin, right?! Even if this is a bit early, it’s actually a really nice transition smoothie for fall. And to be fair, I am almostttt ready for fall recipes and food. As much as I love summer and all the fresh produce, I really like fall cooking. Crockpot recipes, soups, stews and hearty dishes are some of the ways to my heart. And this vegan pumpkin smoothie with salted almond date caramel sauce is going to make this transition a lot easier.

I am a BIG latte fan which is surprising to some people because I don’t drink coffee. Is that weird? I don’t know, I just never liked coffee and have never had a cup before, I am really into tea though, especially matcha!

So today I am sharing my fave superfood mushroom latte, aka brain fuel, featuring one of the best products out there and one of my personal faves- Four Sigmatic. …

If you know me, you know I love a matcha latte and especially love having it while relaxing with a good book or writing. I even wrote all about my love for other lattes in this post. So, now that summer is here, I wanted to create an iced version of my fave green tea so I could enjoy it on a hot summer day. Although, we haven’t had the nicest of days this summer, this iced matcha latte does serve its purpose when the temps do get hot enough….

Caffeine Free Lattes: Bursting With Nutrients

I have been seeing these colourful caffeine free lattes all over Instagram lately and so I couldn’t resist making my own to see if they really are as good as they taste. I wanted to make these lattes that were not only tasty but also bursting with nutrients that are really good for you. Truthfully, I don’t think I *should* even be calling these lattes as they don’t actually contain any coffee but it kind of just makes sense seeing as they are warm drinks and contain steamed milk, so close enough! Another truth, I don’t know much about lattes or coffee because I have never had a cup of coffee before in my life… is that completely nuts or are there other coffee virgins out there?! Sometimes, I feel like I am the only one, so let me know if you can relate.
