Bali-bound + my wellness packing list

May 12, 2019August 26, 2015

I’m Bali and Singapore-bound for my most epic trip of the year! Clear across to the other side of the world for me, Bali has been a tropical dream spot for such a long time and I’m so excited to finally make it happen! I’ve been prepping for Southeast Asia travel for weeks and have got packingpackingpacking on the mind. Amidst all the chaos, it occurred to me that I’ve learned a thing or two about traveling well and keeping myself healthy and energised on the road. For example, things that I have been consistently grateful for bringing along on trips: …

What I Learned From My Smoothie Cleanse

May 12, 2019February 19, 2015

I’ve just wrapped up my 10-day smoothie cleanse and wow, can’t believe how fast the whole thing flew by! If you’ve been following along on Instagram and Facebook, I hope you enjoyed the daily smoothie pics and recipes. I truly had a blast making and eating these!! 🙂 I thought I’d pop in fresh off my cleanse to run through some of my experiences, thoughts & musings over these past 10 days. The more smoothies I make, the more I crave them I’ve been drinking green smoothies for years and loving them but I tend to go through phases where I’ll …

Gorgeous skin recipe ~ My top 5 beautiful skin clearing tips

May 12, 2019February 5, 2015

It still feels strange to me when I get compliments on my skin. You see, up until a few years ago, I used to have the worst skin – DRY all the time, even in the summer months. I would slather myself with lotion multiple times a day and not just any kind would cut it – I needed a buttery thick, heavy-duty kind. Applying large amounts of this lotion after showering was a must or else the dryness that followed would feel almost unbearable. Little did I know that all this pricey lotion wasn’t doing anything to address the root …

How to Find Your Calm in the Cold

May 12, 2019December 1, 2014

Lately we’ve had some frigid weather here in NYC. And although I look forward to some fluffy white snow days and ice skating adventures whilst sipping a big cup of hot cocoa, I have a confession to make: I am not a cold weather person. As much as I wish I could be the gal who rejoices when winter is here, who is unfazed by the grey skies and barren trees (maybe even finds delight in them!), and who joyously piles on the layers of insulation before facing the frost, it’s just not me. I like the sun. I adore bright …

5 Ways to Incorporate Healthy Eating into Your Life

May 12, 2019March 13, 2014

I was inspired to write this post after working with a couple clients of mine who are just starting out on their real food journey, eager and excited but also pretty new to cooking for themselves and a bit overwhelmed. I totally get it too. Though I love cooking now and am so incredibly grateful for all the health benefits I’ve received from doing a major diet overhaul, let’s just be real for a moment: Eating healthy can be a pain in the ass! It often costs more, you spend more time in the kitchen (especially if you’re not used to …

When Exhaustion Strikes (+ my recipe for recovery!)

May 12, 2019March 6, 2014

I have been away from the site for a while, much longer than I anticipated. It’s amazing how quickly time flies. What was supposed to initially be just a couple weeks gone turned into a whopping 2 months! Definitely still figuring this blogging time-management thing out… (HOW do bloggers keep up with regular posts whilst working another job and tending to all other aspects that make up a healthy happy life?!) If anyone knows the secret please do share! In any case, these past 8 weeks have been quite eventful. What have I been up to? Traveling.. and more traveling! My …
