⭐️Re evaluating the wine habit ⭐️

With many things in life, we stand back and try to look at the bigger picture, if something is not working for us anymore. The food we eat, the relationships we have , heck we even
re evaluate our style.

When I started to have a closer look at my relationship with alcohol, this is what I asked myself .

⭐️ Is this supporting me at this point in my life?

⭐️ Does the best version of myself include feeling this way?

The answer was a massive NO .

If you want to explore your relationship with alcohol a little further, send me a DM and let’s chat!
Take a break and see how you feel… and going from there!

⭐️Walk the walk ⭐️

You can talk about something all day long, but until you actually take the steps toward it, it doesn’t really mean much.

One of the biggest reasons I changed my drinking habits was to walk the walk . I would spend all day speaking about Health & Wellness to stores, staff… And then I would go home most nights and drink huge glasses of wine . That led to poor sleep, crappy food choices, the list goes on. Health & Wellness?? Hardly

It feels absolutely amazing now to wake up every day knowing I’m doing my very best to be authentic about what I’m speaking about :)
I feel super proud and accomplished, And that’s the walk I want to keep on walking ♥️

⭐️ Relatable ⭐️

Anne Hathaway has spoken about how the way she drinks leads to hangovers that last “ for five days “

She also shared that she has committed to stop drinking until her son is 18 so she can be fully present.
My kids are now in their teens and believe me, dealing with teenagers is s WAY easier without a hangover. 🤣♥️😳

I can totally relate to this! That was a huge motivator for me to make the habit shift with my drinking.
Hangovers , no matter how mild, SUCK !!!

If you feel like making a shift away from your drinking habits 🍷, send me a DM and let’s start the conversation ♥️🤗

⭐️ Sugar Cravings ⭐️

Like so many people, when I took a break from alcohol I noticed that my sugar cravings went through the roof! It’s super common,the body is just looking for another way to get that hit of dopamine that it was getting from the wine 🍷.
Your body wants to replace one habit with another 🧁🍰🎂🍥🍭🍬

Here are some thoughts to navigate the sugar gremlins, while being kind to yourself .♥️

⭐️ First of all and most important go easy on yourself. The fact that you’re taking a break from alcohol is amazing.

⭐️Try to make sure that you’re eating nutritious food for the most part. Drink water .

⭐️ Make sure you’re moving your body more than usual. Exercise also gives you the extra hit of dopamine that your body is craving.

🌟I have learned not to buy big quantities of anything that I could potentially go to town on. Go ahead and eat the donut, I’m just trying not to bring a dozen into the house lol

⭐️Once you start sleeping better moving more and eating healthier foods, your body will just naturally start to make the shift away from the sugar.

🌟 Realize that it’s not forever! Your body will adjust in its own time. You will know when .

I hope you found this helpful :-)
Happy Monday everyone ♥️

⭐️ Deep Thoughts ⭐️

I was recently reflecting back to a few years ago , when I had a really serious bout of pneumonia. I caught a very strange strain on an airplane and it was fairly serious. I was in a bit of trouble, in the hospital and on IV antibiotics. When I was released, my birthday fell during that time period. Even though I was still getting over the pneumonia, and still feeling quite sick, I downed wine and champagne over the course of a week of celebrations .
“ Yay !! Here’s to a speedy recovery!! Cheers !!! “. Crazy right ? 🙄🙈
It took me months to properly recover .

I’m sitting here a couple of years later, at the tail end of a back to back virus 🦠 whammy 😳😳. I am so thankful that I honoured myself and gave my body the best recovery possible with good food, lots of rest and no alcohol 😊
Now THAT’S worth celebrating ♥️⭐️
Matcha 🍵 anyone ?

⭐️The very best oatmeal recipe ever⭐️
I’ve been a little down for the count lately with a couple of annoying viruses back to back 😬 🦠
I’ve been trying to give myself the grace to really get better this time instead of charging back in to life !!

I’m being really mindful about eating nutrient dense food while I am on the mend . 🥰

This oatmeal recipe is super satisfying and cozy, and it ticks all the boxes nutrition wise ✅
I tweaked a few things to this recipe originally inspired by my beautiful friend Hanna at

Thanks my beautiful friend for the inspiration! ♥️

Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal: ( A very loose recipe)
1/3 of a cup sprouted organic oatmeal
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
Heaping tablespoon of pure pumpkin purée
Cinnamon to taste
Pumpkin pie spice to taste
Dash of pink salt
Nut or seed butter to drizzle on top
Pure maple syrup
Chia seeds
Fresh berries

Cover your oats with water, add pink salt and flax and slowly bring up to a boil,. Once the action starts add your pumpkin purée and spices.. Keep whisking so everything stays nice and creamy.
Once cooked, drizzle with your nut or seed butter, top with a sprinkle of Chia seeds and some maple syrup. Tumble on some berries and you’re done 😃
Sometimes I also sprinkle on some bee 🐝 pollen .

Let me know if you try it!

⭐️Letting go of the weight of the scale ⭐️

This morning I finally finally finally have put away my scale. I have let that thing set the tone for my days for far too long 😳😳

The number on that scale would make her break my day☀️within a matter of a few seconds, depending on that number.

NO MORE !!!

The scale doesn’t tell the whole story. Not by a long shot!!
It’s about how you feel in your skin, how your clothes👗fit, your energy levels 🚶‍♀️

So see you later scale. I need a break. Not sure what I’ll see you again 🤷🏼‍♀️

Has anyone else let go of that obsessive number on the scale?
