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 Dauphinois” as my inspiration. This dish is creamy, comforting, and full of flavor! Perfect for the winter months and - really anytime you need a bit of delicious comfort. And the best part is - you’re actually eating something healthy while you enjoy this! It's also really simple to make - I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do ❤️ Let me know how it goes if you try it! Wishing you a beautiful and delicious weekend! Amalia PS - if you’re looking for a great gift for your partner, your friend, or even yourself for Valentine’s or Galentine’s, consider the gift of red light therapy. Red light therapy has many uses, but I am personally loving it for my skin and my hair and it’s been incredible for healing from sports injuries for my husband. I’m such a fan of red light therapy, I even made a whole video about it! I use and recommend the brand Mito. You can get 5% off with my affiliate link. While that may not sound like a lot, it actually can be really helpful when you invest in a device! Mito has red lights of all different sizes, even travel size 🙌

Dear Reader, A week ago, I had to go fly another redeye flight to Seattle. (Yes I’ve been doing a lot of these lately, I actually like them! 🤣) I was in a crappy mood that day. Not for any particular reason, just feeling kind of blue. Inadvertently glancing at world news didn’t help much either :/ But then, something happened on the plane once boarding started. Two little boys came on the plane, wide-eyed. Their mom told me it was their first flight ever and I asked if they would like to take...
Hi Reader, In-person connection feels more important than ever these days. I’ve just returned from Boise, Idaho, from the Craft + Commerce conference for creators (how many C’s were in that sentence?! 🤣). It was my second year attending and it was just what I needed right now. With current events in the news seeming darker and darker, sometimes it’s hard not to get sucked in and feel like that’s all there is. But after a few days spent walking in nature, listening to inspiring keynotes and...
Hi Reader, A question that I'm often asked is - Are vitamins and supplements are actually worth it? And if so...which ones to take?? I get it. There's an overwhelming amount of info out there on which supplements you must take - and then others who say that supplements are just giving you expensive pee 🙄 (a catchy statement but I can quickly disprove that one with my bloodwork, which I do twice a year at a minimum).
