Holistic means believing all the parts are connected as a whole. Believing you can’t merely treat one symptom of a problem, but that you have to take in all the symptoms and see how they are connected to treat the whole problem. It’s kinda like it sounds, holistic – whole-istic. Mind, body, soul.
Overnight oats are an easy protein option for a breakfast on the go! I love this option for breakfast fuel because you can dress oats up however you want – make them decadent if you want or pack them full of nutrients. For this particular recipe, we are going to focus on ingredients for glowing skin: strawberries and rhubarb. Not only will you be able to make this into a delicious edible recipe but you’ll also be able to use as clean skincare!
I absolutely love the concept of hormones and the effect they have in our lives. As a holistic esthetician, and from personal experience, I realized a long time ago the incredible need to have balance if you were to heal. My acne when I was growing up was the most frustrating concept. I pride myself on my intelligence and my drive, so when I tried EVERYTHING I educated myself to fix my acne and NOTHING worked, I kinda gave up for awhile. It has taken me years to understand the complexities of balance in the body and how they worked to heal and treat my acne, bringing me to a point in my life where I am proud to bear my natural skin. I want to share all of this knowledge with all of you. Please let me know in the comments if you would like to know more about hormones and how to restore balance naturally.
If you read my last post, you would have learned how to recognize signs of Hormonal Imbalance in the Skin & How to Restore Balance. One of the methods I mentioned was Seed Cycling. I wanted to share these easy moon milk recipes to get you started with Seed Cycling. Remember that by restoring balance to your hormones, you can reduce the imbalances you see in your skin such as acne and inflammation.
This delicious dessert recipe for Camellia Tea Cakes is my niece’s new favorite thing. She LOVED getting a whole cake to herself and I didn’t feel guilty about giving her one because there is no refined sugar in these babies!
Baths are the best. One of my favorite self care things to do. There are so many health benefits to taking a bath! Let’s talk about the little things you can easily add to your bath to enhance the glow of your skin.
Cheers to the last soup of the season! (Hopefully.) The weather finally seems to be turning in favor of spring and I suppose this was my final craving for hot soup, at least for the time being. This soup is one of my favorites, my special Thai Coconut Curry Soup. It’s packed full of food magick and the best part is it’s the one soup that isn’t chili (which isn’t technically soup) that my husband will eat!

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.
It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day and these clean grasshopper bars are just the perfect dessert! I love mint flavored treats for this holiday, even if it isn’t traditional. I replaced shamrock shakes from McDonalds with this FAR HEALTHIER recipe for delicious sweets. 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.
