Basic Holistic Bread Recipe

This bread recipe is what I use when I am craving bread but I don’t want to spiral about grocery store brands, extensive ingredient lists, preservatives, inflammatory ingredients, etc. When I got diagnosed with leaky gut and my doc told me to cut out all inflammatory ingredients including soy, gluten, sugar, and dairy, it got really hard to shop for groceries. I’ve always been good at making home cooked recipes but I was always like, “I don’t have a bread maker.” Well guess what. You don’t need one! This recipe only has 5 main ingredients, 6 if you include water. Now I can eat bread again and I don’t feel guilty or awful after I eat it.

Health Benefits Of Saging & How to Get Started

I love burning sage in my home. It makes the whole house smell earthy and fresh. It is a good way to cleanse the air before lighting a scented candle. Scented candles only mask smells, sage actually cleanses the air. I really wanted to keep my air clean when my doctor started talking about mold poisoning, this was my favorite solution. Reap the health benefits of saging your space with me.

Lemon Poppyseed Bread with Vegan Chamomile Frosting

This is my favorite recipe to celebrate Ostara or Easter. I’ve been making it for years, although the frosting will change depending on how I feel that year. This was my first year making chamomile frosting and I think it might be my favorite, might actually stick as a tradition now. I love this recipe because it is so healthy, I don’t feel any guilt for going back for seconds! The frosting is VEGAN or Dairy Free, made with whole foods so you can eat and heal your body.

I love finding ways to cut sugar out of my life without losing the sweets and then sharing them with you. This is truly one of my favorite options, with a soft texture and hard chocolate top.

Why Should I Exfoliate?

Does your skin feel dry even though you moisturize? Do you have rough, uneven texture? Do you have lots of little breakouts? If any of these apply to you, then my first question as an esthetician of ten years is going to be: Do you exfoliate?

Because if your answer is no, then it is very likely it is the cause of your dry, rough skin, uneven texture and clogged pores. I often tell my clients, “Exfoliation is the most important step in your routine.” This is because exfoliation is the step in your skincare ritual that ties in all the other steps.
