Dear Reader, One year ago, I set off on a 30 day experiment with an at-home red light therapy panel to see what would happen. Now one year later, my red light panel has turned out to be one of the best investments I could’ve made, not only for my skin - but for my overall wellbeing. And I keep finding more and more uses for it! Check out the full video on YouTube 🚨 And if you’re wondering which brand and model that I use, it’s the Mito Pro 300, a medium-sized panel with both red light and...

Confession - I am not a naturally organized person. I admire organization. I really do. And I truly love the way it feels when I’m in a very organized and harmonious space. But I’ve come to realize, some people just have a knack for organizing. Like my husband, for example. He doesn’t have much free time, but when he does set his mind to an organizing project, it looks fantastic afterwards 🙌 Me on the other hand? If I try to organize something by myself, there will be lots of time spent...

Hey Reader, Sometimes we just need a little comfort food, am I right? Usually comfort food tends to refer to things like big bowls of pasta, creamy mac & cheese, and thick slices of cake. But what if your comfort food could actually be something healthy? It’s absolutely possible! 🙌 I LOVE to eat well and one of my favorite things to do is re-creating my favorite foods in a healthier version. I created this recipe for Creamy Cauliflower Gratin, using the delicious French potato dish “Gratin...

Dear Reader, Fall is an exciting time of year, isn't it? There's a sense of newness as kids go back to school, the weather gets crisper, and a sense of change is in the air. And while we love the idea of dramatic change, something that I really love about life is the way that just shifting your habits can - over time - create huge shifts in your life. As a health coach, this is one of my favorite things to work on with my clients - small habit shifts that will lead you in the direction of...

Hi Reader, I've just returned from a family trip to Medellín, Colombia. As much as I love Medellín (I've been there quite a few times!), this definitely was not a vacation. Although there were some wonderful moments (like being surrounded by a ton of adorable llamas - see pic below 😊), it was a really challenging trip. Surrounded by llamas! I was holding their favorite food - carrots :) The main purpose of this trip was actually dental work for the whole family - Yup, that's right - our...

Dear Reader I’ve just returned from the Craft + Commerce conference in Boise, Idaho and all I can say is - wow!! Craft + Commerce is a conference by and for creators - entrepreneurs, YouTubers, bloggers - many that attend it are all three of these! This was my first year attending and while I was super impressed by the quality of the keynote speakers and the lovely way that the conference was run - I was even more blown away by how incredible and accomplished the other attendees were. At...

Hi Reader Did you know that your biological age can actually be a lot of younger than your actual years on Earth - depending on your diet and lifestyle? Conversely, your biological age could actually be older than you, also depending on your lifestyle. My endocrinologist was thrilled about my lab results at our recent appointment (I do full bloodwork every few months for because of my autoimmune condition, Hashimoto’s). He said excitedly, “your cholesterol levels are the best I’ve seen in a...

Hi Reader, Have you ever tried Red Light Therapy? Back in February, I bought a red light device. I had tried Red Light Therapy for my face a few times at my local acupuncture clinic and liked what I experienced. Then I read even more about the many benefits of Red Light Therapy (aka RLT) and decided that it was worth the investment to buy a device for more regular use at home. In today’s video, I document my 30-day journey with the red light. RLT has quite an impressive list of benefits:...

I LOVE yogurt but I try to limit my consumption of dairy, so I buy plant-based yogurt. My favorite up until now has been cashew yogurt - specifically, Forager’s Vanilla Bean Cashew Yogurt. However, it can be pricey. I’ve tried coconut yogurt many times in the past, but never liked it. Then I got curious about making my own and looked it up to see how difficult it would be. I was excited to see that it’s surprisingly easy! Not only was it easy to make, but it’s the best tasting coconut yogurt...
