I’ve been talking about intuitive eating for over a year now and I’ve written about it a lot over the year. But, it occurred to me that I have yet to delve deeper into what is intuitive eating. And so I wanted to share the basics of intuitive eating and also share how changing the way I eat and look at food changed my whole life. …
Why I Switched to a Menstrual Cup: Five Reasons
I remember seeing ads for the Diva Cup many years ago and thinking “that’s disgusting, I would never use that.” And now, I truly can’t imagine my period without a menstrual cup. Yeah, it is actually that life changing and I can’t wait to share this review with you. As someone who is many times late to adapt to new things (Am I the last person to get an Instant Pot?), this also holds true for the menstrual cup. To say I was nervous to try it would be a HUGE understatement, but I am sooooo glad I did it. Read on to hear my full and honest review after using a menstrual cup and why I made the switch. …

How a Weekly Meal Planner Can Help with Intuitive Eating
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. …
Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl + Meal Prep Tips
Want a quick and easy breakfast idea? I know, I love a good, quick, healthy and easy recipe for the weekday mornings. Which is why I created this sweet potato breakfast bowl. If you can roast the potatoes the night before (or even on the weekend when you have more time), you can easily whip this up. All you need are some fun toppings, a blender and some kind of nut butter, oh and sweet potatoes of course. I love getting creative with the toppings so I feel like I am having something different from day-to-day. The other great thing is that I’ve had this both warm and cold and both work.
…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. …
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?…
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. …
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….
