Eating and drinking probiotic-rich foods is great for our digestion, and overall health. I made a delicious oranges and cream probiotic drink that feels like it should be enjoyed while laying on a beach in my opinion… This recipe is so simple, yet so delicious – and also packs a nutritious punch. The coconut milk yogurt contains MCTs, a healthy source of fat, and probiotics. While the orange juice is a great source of vitamin C and potassium. Oranges &…
Strawberries and kiwis are my two favorite fruits and they’re a common flavor combination. I thought it might be interesting to try them together in muffins – blended into the batter. To be honest, the strawberry kiwi flavor is just slightly in the background of these muffins, although I definitely enjoyed them. These muffins are pretty dense and filling made with almond flour, cashew butter, and coconut oil. Try them for a gluten free breakfast on the go or as…
Some days I really like to feel girly, and I’ll wear a pink lipstick shade. This new color of matte lipstick from 100% Pure is a really nice pink shade. It’s a dark, but bright color and stays on all day/night. I love this shade for going out and for work days when I feel like I need a nice pop of color. My Girly Look: The lipstick I am wearing is the cocoa butter matte lipstick and the…
So, at this point it’s pretty clear that I have a lipstick obsession. Lipstick was the first makeup product that I switched to clean, because I had read about how harmful it was and it was fairly easy to find clean replacements. At first, I was using Burt’s Bee’s, which is fine, but once I found 100% Pure, I became absolutely OBSESSED! I love 100% Pure lipstick because it’s non-toxic, has vibrant colors, lasts all day and comes in matte.…
I don’t drink protein shakes/smoothies all that often. I prefer eating actual food. But every so often, I’ll either crave having a shake or be very pressed for time and need it in a pinch. Eating on the go is definitely not ideal, as we should be relaxed while we are eating in order to properly digestion our food. But, life happens and sometimes this is the only way to get our fuel in. I included almond milk yogurt to…
I change up my skincare routine every so often, based on my skin’s needs and based on new products that I want to try. My previous skincare routine was working well for a while, but then I tried some new products that I really fell in love with and have been seeing amazing improvements with… so I’ve changed it up again. I’ll share my night routine first again, as this is the routine that I feel does most of the…
I recently had my Beautycounter launch party, where I had made cheese and cracker platters. I also added apricot jam, which was a huge hit. It really was so delicious added to the cheese and crackers. So, I decided to try adding jam to another savory dish – a turkey & cheese sandwich! The subtle taste of grape in the background really turns this ordinary turkey sandwich into a gourmet lunch! Don’t knock it until you try it 😉 Properly…
Most days I don’t put on a full face of makeup. Going to work or out with friends/family, I normally just wear eye makeup and lipstick. But for special occasions, I like to go the extra mile. I like wearing face makeup for special occasions to make my skin look nicer, give me confidence and feel glamorous. It’s important to me that the makeup I use has the safest ingredients possible, while still performing well and lasting through the day…
I first tried Stuffed Acorn Squash a few years ago at Hu Kitchen in NYC, and recently decided to create my own spin on it because I find it to be a super delicious, healthy comfort food. Acorn squash is a good source of healthy carbs and contains an array of nutrients. I stuffed my acorn squash with grass fed ground beef (which is a great source of essential omega 3 fatty acids + protein), coconut milk (healthy fat), Kettle…
