And that is that. ✨☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And that is that. ✨☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


Recent times have not made beauty routines feel trivial. Arguably they’ve been elevated to an even more necessary ritual than ever before… A small way to destress, slow down and breathe while doing something good for our body - isn’t that what we all need more of right now? I love taking a few extra moments at each end of the day for a chance to nourish, calm and care for my skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So when my lovely friends at @vistamagcanada sent over a bottle of @lavido.ca Replenishing Facial Serum I was legitimately over the moon to try it out. My skin is sensitive and prone to being weighed down by heavier oils, yet I love the protective, deeply nourishing feel that the right formula can provide. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being recently listed on Goop as one of the top 9 Clean Face Oils of 2020, alongside the likes of Vintner’s Daughter and May Lindstrom no less, my expectations were kinda high. I’m happy to say this product definitely lives up the hype! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The scent is an uplifting mix of Rose, Geranium and Mandarin creating an interesting yet subtle mix. The mix of essential oils are ideal for daily use. It absorbs beautifully, I apply it as the last step before makeup with no greasy feeling. Feel free to use the code below to save a bunch on this fabulous oil, we all deserve a little treat right now 🍊☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Code: LAV15 Gives 15% off at www.lavido.ca Expires ‪March 31st, 2020‬ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #VistaMagCanada #VistaAmbassador #VistaMagazine #partner_lavidocanadaRecent times have not made beauty routines feel trivial.

Just finished writing a review on one of my favourite natural perfumes out there! To summarize a scent in words is basically impossible but I still tried... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Think of walking in the deep woods on a cool, dark day after fresh rainfall. You kneel down on an earthy patch of moss to smell a sweet flower blossom” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This delicate balance of deep base notes with light, energizing orange & bergamot makes Nuit D’Hiver an incredible scent for any time, mood or occasion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read the full review here • www.ritualwellness.co/journal/flore-review or find the #linkinbio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Deep gratitude to @flore_botanical_alchemy for all they do + for the use of this image 🌿 In Vancouver you can find these magical elixirs + more @harlowatelier ✨Just finished writing a review on one of my favourite natural perfumes out there!

Here in the west (most of us) have been trained from a young age to expect just as much recreation and emotional release as nourishment from our foods. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s very interesting because our mind is such a powerful tool. Many times when we get used to consuming a food that doesn’t taste great yet the effects are amazing for our body, over time we begin to associate its taste more with how it makes us feel. So cool right! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So when looking at Spirulina, Chlorella and other super foods which may have an *intense* 🙄 flavour it’s super key to note how much our experience of these foods changes over time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also - our palette is an ongoing conversation based on what we have become used to consuming. For example if you cut out sugar for six weeks and then eat fruit salad the natural sweetness is ridiculous. We tend to have such an abundance of fat, salt and sugar in most foods now that it’s hard to pick out the subtleties of whole foods. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So my challenge to you is play around with this idea! Maybe skip fruit and use water in your next green smoothie and see how it makes you feel to taste the actual greens 🌿 Or eat a salad for dinner with just lemon, oil and pepper (no salt) to notice whether the vegetables have their own distinct taste. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Retraining the brain to experience the fullness of our foods is empowering, easy and fun!Here in the west (most of us) have been trained from a young age to expect just as much recreation and emotional release as nourishment from our foods. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s very interesting because our mind is such a powerful tool.

What is wellness... really? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Beyond the Insta worthy food pics, curated yoga poses and matching lululemon outfits? Nearly seven years in this field has taught me a few things, and many are simpler than you may imagine! Read on for my tips on pursuing Real Wellness... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌿 With rare exception, your conventional doctor is much more educated in what medication COULD work for a single symptom, than alleviating the root cause of the symptom that is the actual cause of what ails you. It is not their fault per se but rather a factor of the system they operate within. Be your own advocate and do your research! 🌿 Alternative care is not so much about finding a different treatment, more so about pursuing a whole new lifestyle and relationship to day to day care of your body. Not everyone is ready for this but it is well worth the effort! 🌿 Avoid polyunsaturated oils (Corn Canola Sunflower Cottonseed etc) as they are industrial by-products which don’t taste rancid when spoiled - great for the industry! Not great for your body. 🌿 Limit your sugar intake — as hard as that may be. Try to make healthy dessert options at home instead — you might be surprised how easy and fun it can be! 🌿 Eat an abundance of fruits, vegetables beans, fresh as you can get them 🌿 Move and breathe often - your body, mind and heart will notice it 🌿 Buy better supplements even if it means taking less products overall 🌿 Eat with people you love, take pleasure in every meal, chew your food and simply s l o w down to enhance digestion. And last but not least... 🌿 Buy the best animal products you or your family can afford. If that means eating half as much meat then so be it. Feeding into the industrial animal-agriculture system isn’t helping anyone, and goodness knows if you owned an animal you wouldn’t treat it that way. It’s only a depersonalized system that is trying to meet consumer demand that will strip these beings of their dignity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And you can do all of this without decorating a single smoothie bowl! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥒🍊🍎🥬🥦🥥🍈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀What is wellness... really? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Beyond the Insta worthy food pics, curated yoga poses and matching lululemon outfits?
