I’ve been making it a point to keep somewhat of a regular schedule even though I’m mostly at home these days. It’s good to keep routines like meal times, exercise and sleep; our bodies appreciate it. I’ve been starting my day as I would any work day; healthy breakfast, shower, skincare, makeup and wearing something…

Make Ahead Vegan Breakfast Burritos
All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast My husband likes to walk to the coffee shop in the morning to get some fresh air and buy a vegan breakfast wrap and tea. With the majority of businesses now closed in the city I made up a batch of filling for him this afternoon so that…
No Yeast Focaccia Bread
4:30pm Tuesday. We’ve been in isolation for 1 week now. I’ve made it a point to have a list of things to do every day. No sitting around all day although every evening has been movie night. Dinner will be the split pea soup I made yesterday. Not being able to just run out to…
Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup (Vegan).
The greatest dishes are very simple Cooking has been keeping me occupied while we hunker down at home. Today’s a sunny day although there are some big clouds sweeping over the mountains. The ground is damp outside, I must have slept through the rain over night. My husband says he wasn’t a fan of…
Some Of My Faves & Keeping Entertained While Social Distancing.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift which is why we call it the present. With the uncertain time we are experiencing all over the world and social distancing the new norm, I’ve been keeping busy at home planning meals, cooking and freezing food, taking time to exercise and learning all…
Italian Creamy Polenta With Roasted Vegetables And Burrata (Vegetarian)
I am certainly Italian in my love of food! In my search for vegan and vegetarian recipes there was just one that I wasn’t sure about trying out: Polenta. I mean, cornmeal mixed with water? It just sounded plain and bland and boring to me. Boy was I wrong. I mean not to toot my own horn here…
Potato Gnocchi In White Wine With Mushrooms And Feta (Vegetarian)
Things are getting a little spooky. There’s a silence in the city. We grocery shopped this afternoon, empty shelves and people hidden behind masks. The Coronavirus panic has set in. All sporting events have been cancelled. I literally got a pot of water on the stove for dinner tonight and our water shut off suddenly. …
The Best 10 Under $10 – Skincare, Hair Care, Makeup, Nails, Bath & Body
Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy makeup I love makeup and skincare, have I mentioned that before? As much as I love my Charlotte Tilbury’s and Dior’s of the world, this doesn’t mean there aren’t products that work just as well but cost a fraction of the price. I love me a…
Broccoli Veggie Stir-Fry With Cashews
Every Thursday I sauna; an hour of seated meditation, drinking litres of electrolytes and lots of sweating. I love what it does for my skin and mind. It also helps that just 30 minutes burns up to 600 calories so I don’t work out on sauna days and eat as much as I want, bonus!…
A Hawaiian Island Inspired Beauty Ritual
Your body is a temple. Worship it. West Coast winters can be grey and gloomy. Cloudy mornings and afternoon rains with no end in sight. It’s around this time each year that I day dream of being in Hawaii. One way I bring sunshine into my life is with this beauty ritual inspired by the…
