It seems a lot of people around have been getting sick over this past month. It’s part of the winter experience for many of us. I had a sore throat for a few days too, and I smothered myself with essential oils, syrups, tinctures and herbal teas to kill any […]
Hot drinks are a hot trend now, during the cold winter months here in Canada. I love coffee, tea, and I also love to get the most nutritional and medicinal benefits out of every drink and meal I consume. So I drink a lot of herbal teas from herbs that […]
From today there are officially less than 2 weeks left till Christmas! Can you believe it? Which means work parties, family gatherings, mountains of food, rivers of alcohol, and tons of treats and desserts… Which can sometimes (or should I say, most times!) be less than healthy. With all the […]
Hey friends, it’s been a while since I posted a recipe on here… Life has been so busy and so distracting… But that’s not to say I haven’t been loving it all, and still cooking lots and experimenting in the kitchen. It’s full on fall, almost winter here in Nova […]
Fall is officially here now, and with it it brings orange, yellow and red leaves, sweaters, harvest, corn, Thanksgiving, squashes, Halloween, and of course the mandatory pumpkins. For the past week I’ve been back home in Moldova, having a beautiful time visiting my family after 2 years. It has been […]
Once a month us women we go through discomfort, and sometimes a lot of pain when we get our periods. Our hormones change, our breasts get sore, we get more moody and emotional, and often we experience a lot of painful cramps that can make it hard to continue our […]
For the past week I’ve been in Calgary, it’s been a wonderful time focusing on myself and the growth of my business…. A time full of insights and emotional cleansing and healing. Also I’ve taken this time to cleanse physically, to drink elixirs with medicinal mushrooms, drink more water… especially […]
In this post I will share with you a more personal story which I was unsure if I should, but I feel it’s important to share for those of you that might be going through something similar. I hope this reminds you that you’re not alone and gives you the […]
This past weekend was amazing! As I’ve been thinking of ideas for more informational and fun workshops, I kept visualizing a spa-like afternoon with ladies pampering themselves with homemade products that I made in my kitchen, from herbal steam to face masks to moisturizer… …All while learning about the benefits […]
Only until a year and a half ago I had no idea about the fact that chocolate is an extremely healthy food with so many benefits for the body, mind…and soul. I’ve always loved chocolate, the darker the better, but didn’t know a lot about all the amazing health […]
What is Chaga? Chaga is a mushroom that typically grows on birch trees in colder climates. It is one of the most researched mushrooms in the world, and it’s been consumed for centuries in the East, where its health benefits are well established. Recently chaga has been gaining more popularity […]
In the past few weeks, with Valentine’s Day that just passed, I’ve been swamped in chocolate making and raw chocolate workshops. Yummmm… if there was any work I’d have too much of, it would definitely be this (I’m already salivating while typing this lol). Here are some pictures if […]
Wow, it’s almost 2017!! In a few days’ time we will be saying goodbye to 2016, and stepping into a new year! I love this time of the year not only because it’s a time we all get together and spend time with our loved family and friends, eating […]
About a year ago I discovered this amazing little seed that has since been a consistent part of my diet. I never knew that a seed of a plant that’s so widely available and affordable could pack so much nutrition and can be so versatile with very little preparation. […]
I discovered this drink a couple of years ago, and I wanted to share its amazing health benefits with you. I have been making it for my husband when he has a headache, and it has been really helpful! Now I have started drinking more of it myself – I’m […]
I often hear people say that eating healthy is expensive, and that’s often one of the reasons people give for not making better food choices. I agree that healthy nutritious and organic foods should not be more expensive than processed foods filled with sugar, bad fats, preservatives and cheap artificial […]
Since last year, I’ve been on a journey transitioning to a diet with less meat and more plant-based foods. I started finding out more and more about factory farming, the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals. I’ve learnt about the effects of animal farming on our planet – which has […]
Spring is officially here! Nature is coming back to life, and so do we, in a way. We want to spring clean, detox, lose weight, sunbathe (ok, maybe not that one yet)… During winter our bodies get deprived of sunlight, resulting in lowered levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is crucial for a […]
