natural products make my heart SOO happy 🌱 - this calendula cream by is so nourishing and healing for my dry hands during these extremely cold winter days 🥶!

studying to become a holistic health coach I learned the importance of not only what goes INTO our body, but also what goes ON our body...
did you know that your skin is your LARGEST ORGAN?
yup, that’s the truth ☝🏼!
our skin absorbs what we put on it, it goes through our bloodstream, into our cells and impacts our overall health (very simple description lol) - this is true for toxic skin care products and natural skin care products💁🏼‍♀️.

so how do you find products that are actually natural and safe (& not just marketed as such)?
WELL.. you need to research & read labels — yup, just like your food!
- you should be able to pronounce and identify almost every ingredient.
- avoid anything that has the word “perfume” or “fragrance”. These are endocrine disrupters and can reck havoc on your overall health and wellbeing.
- and again do your research!

has become one of my favourite product lines for both myself & Aria (their baby line is just 😍🙌🏼💗)!

if you’re not roasting/broiling your grapefruit - you’re seriously missing out 🤤!!
grapefruit is such a powerhouse fruit 🙌🏼.
- it’s loaded with antioxidants, including lycopene which helps protect against oxidative stress & damage;
- it is high in vitamin C 👉🏼 boosts your immune system;
- it is very hydrating 💧 (fyi - 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated 😳)
- grapefruit contains a phytonutrient called limonoids which is known to inhibit tumour formation & promotes detoxification;
- known to lower LDL “bad” cholesterol;
- & so much more!
// my favourite way to enjoy grapefruit is by slicing it in half, adding a tiny tiny amount of maple syrup (1/8 tsp) over both pieces of grapefruit, sprinkling cinnamon & roasting/broiling in the oven for 5-10 minutes 💗!
food is medicine - remember, you’re either preventing or promoting disease in your body.
nutrition is powerful 🍋🍉🥥🥒🥬🥑🍍!

veggie enchiladas!
-🍅🌮🥑-
GUYS, THESE WERE TO DIE FOR (so good that I’m planning to batch cook 👩‍🍳 & freeze them so I can have quick dinners ready to go)
I also made vegan cheese that I’m planning to substitute for the real cheese that’s shown here.
The enchilada sauce was inspired by with some slight modifications and the enchiladas will filled with quinoa, black beans & spinach!
I’ll be posting the recipe on my blog (hopefully today 😬)!
Could anyone else eat Mexican inspired meals every single day of the week? Because I totally could 🙋🏼‍♀️!
