This refreshing little number is my clear skin secret weapon — aka a vitamin c and antioxidant powerhouse. As cliche as it may sound, clear skin really does start from within. As someone prone to breakouts, both my skincare routine and clean eating are a must to keep breakouts at bay.
Read MoreI recently set the intention to update my skivvies drawer — it had been a minute since I gave this top drawer some love. I feel like your undergarment drawer is a good diagnosis for other aspects of your life — is it chaos, or is it all coordinated, fresh, and well organized?
Read MoreAs the name states, this collagen and antioxidant-filled smoothie quite literally tastes like a blueberry muffin. I love to kick-off my days with a nutrient-dense smoothie filled with healthy fat, fiber, greens, and protein. This keeps me full through the morning until lunchtime. Thought I would share this recipe as it’s my absolute favorite morning treat.
Read MoreWow, what a few weeks it has been. It’s amazing how our collective priorities can shift so quickly — suddenly there is more space to focus on the things that matter. This past week has been stressful, but I am trying my best to take it day by day and focus on quality time with others. My husband and I have been making lots of yummy concoctions, catching up on this season of the bachelor (haha), and connecting with loved ones on FaceTime.
Read MoreI have to admit, at first I was slightly skeptical of “facial massage” or “lymphatic drainage”, thinking it was more insta-trendy than value-add. As I was prepping for our wedding, I figured it couldn’t hurt to throw it in the mix of my ever expanding beauty routine — and lo and behold, I absolutely fell in love.
Read MoreAccutane can be a real game (life) changer for those struggling with breakouts that are unresponsive to all other treatments. I shared my journey to accutane and experience taking it here (and a bit here as well), but I wanted to create a round-up of the [essential] products that got me through those 6-7 months.
Read MoreThis look is my favorite everyday style, and as we know, it’s harder to achieve than it seems! While it may look low-maintenance and effortless, it takes a whole routine in and of itself to get my thick/frizzy hair to cooperate. After much trial and error, I pretty much have this routine down.
Read MoreOver the weekend, I had made some of my favorite almond flour muffins and wanted to share my take on the recipe. They are soo delicious and convenient for taking on the go in the morning or for a mid-day snack.
Read MoreI recently picked up Kelly Leveque’s new book Body Love Every Day and it is chock-full of great recipe ideas - whether you’re on the go or whipping something up at home. I was inspired to create a new series called “What I Eat in a Day”.
Read MoreInspired again by Kelly Leveque’s Body Love Every Day, I made one of her recipes for fermented coleslaw and it was fantastic (hello fiber and fermented gut-health goodness).
Read MoreSpring is in the air! Granted I live in Southern California, but still haha. No matter your location, it’s time for a little springtime addition to your wardrobe.
Read MoreAgain, here I come with a healthy spin on some classic comfort foods. You’re welcome. As the weather starts to cool down, what sounds better than some rich, fresh, creamy alfredo? I recreated this with the same creamy, garlic flavor we all know and love sans the heavy cream and butter and it’s YUM.
Read MoreI view yoga differently to other types of workouts that I like to do. My body is seriously so stiff if I don’t make a conscious effort to do yoga to maintain/improve my flexibility and strength.
Read MoreOne of my main obsessions is giving classic dishes a healthy makeover. With just a few simple swaps, any classic really can be nourishing for the body and absolutely delicious. This one was honestly to die for.
Read MoreI have recently become head over heels in love with matcha — I know, late to the party. Although I have always loved the taste, I have never been a fan of ordering it in coffee shops because of the high sugar content. Did you know that a grande Starbucks matcha latte has something crazy like 28g of sugar?! Once I discovered I could make this really tasty at home, I haven’t looked back.
Read MoreDuring our stretch in apartment living so far, a lot of the items we had collected through the years were “just good enough” items. Do you know what I mean? Things that weren’t of the best quality, look, or fit for our space, but we made do because they were affordable.
Read MoreHave you tried everything under the sun to treat your acne? Are you now considering taking Accutane? Let me guess..you’re curious about the scary side effects? Want to know if it actually gets rid of people’s acne for good? Or what products people use to manage symptoms? So was I — I’ve been there.
Read MoreToday, I am writing to you from our new home in sunny Southern California! Pasadena to be exact. We are so excited and grateful for this fresh start in a beautiful new place.
