I was extremely fortunate to get my hands on dōTERRA's Mānuka and Litsea essential oils several months ago thanks to my friend The Aromamixologist. At the time of writing this blog post, these two essential oils are currently unavailable in the United States. My friend had a connection with a dōTERRA distributor based out of Australia, so I was lucky to be able to add these two powerful essential oils to my collection!

Although both of these essential oils offer some incredible physical support, I've personally used them to help up-level my mindset during times of transition and personal development and to help stay committed to my personal vision and goals.

I’ve been on a bit of a baking kick lately.

And I'm not mad about it. 😉 

I grew up on homemade baked goods (my mother was the goddess of baked goods), so it was fun taking a stab at a grain-free, dairy-free twist on a tasty classic: banana bread!

The thing I love about this recipe is that it is SO easy to make. Simply put all the ingredients into your high-power blender (like a Blendtec), pulverize, pop into the oven, and - BOOM. Banana bread.

It's also easy to customize to suit your taste! It's hard to screw this one up!

As much as I love home-cooked meals, making my own breakfast, lunch, and dinner (with snacks in between) is not a reality! I like to make sure I have a few grab-and-go restaurants bookmarked for when I'm in a pinch and don't want to compromise.

That's why I love Core Life Eatery! Not only do they make meals with great, good-for-you ingredients, they make it super easy to customize your plate with so many options! Also, they ditched their freezer and their fryer, so you know every bite is fresh AF.

I collaborated with Core Life Eatery on this post to show you how easy it can be to build a healthy lunch bowl when on-the-go. 

When I first ventured into the dairy-free realm, my main dairy alternative was always almond milk. I still enjoy almond milk, but have discovered that there are options that are more sustainable and more nutritious. One of them is hemp milk!

One thing that makes hemp milk so easy to make is that you don't have to strain the milk for it to be useable - with a high-power blender (like a Blendtec) you can pulverize the seeds to point where the end result is creamy and smooth without straining!

This also means that you get all of the benefits of consuming whole hemp seeds

Plus, I love the flavor and the consistency! It's super creamy and slightly nutty, making it a perfect pairing with espresso, grain-free granola, smoothies, and adaptogenic lattes.

In this post, I dive into how to give your cleaning routine a nontoxic makeover! I also share 4 of my favorite natural cleaning recipes!

Did you know, that by making your own natural cleaning supplies, not only can you help significantly reduce your toxic load (the accumulation of toxins and heavy metals that happens over time as we are exposed to them), but you can also save A LOT of money.

Plus, they make cleaning SO MUCH MORE FUN. And they smell a lot better too!

Because I get so many questions about the Ketogenic Diet, I decided to give it a try! I followed Dr. Josh Axe's Keto360 Program for 30 days to experience keto for myself.

In this post you'll read about this 30-day keto experience - the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

In this post, I go over:

The Ketogenic Diet is trending - and there's a reason why!

I'm pretty good at listening to my body, but sometimes when I'm in overwhelm mode I get mixed signals and knowing how to support my body is a challenge. 

That's where the iTOVI comes into play. This nifty little device is a biompedance scanner and takes the guesswork out using essential oils to support health.

Sometimes when you're so close to the problem, you can't see the solution clearly and an outside perspective is just what you need.

Diffusing essential oils is one of the most powerful ways to experience their therapeutic benefits.

If you're new to essential oils, it might be a little overhwleming.

Don't you sweat it! I'm here to break it down into easy steps for you!

In no time, you'll be an essential oil diffuser blend wizard! 🔮✨

Trying to compress a week's worth of learning and experiences into one blog post was a challenge...but I did it!

Here are my 4 top things from the dōTERRA Essential Oils Convention!

This September I got to hang out with some of my health coach and essential oil-loving friends to experience the dōTERRA Yōu Convention!

This is my third time attending dōTERRA's annual Convention and, needless to say, this time did NOT disappoint.

With over 35,000 attendees, science forums, special keynote speakers, musical performances, and a massive product showcase, it was pretty rad.

There's seriously something so magical about making your home reflect your soul!

As I'm working on redecorating my new home in Utah, I'm trying to bring together organic elements and a feng shui approach to creating a balanced, high-vibe space. ⚡️

If you've read my "Crystals & Essential Oils Made Easy" post, you know that crystals and gemstones can be awesome tools for channeling and shifting energy. 

In no way am I'm a crystal healing pro - I enjoy using them personally, but I don't integrate them into my coaching practice. So, when I decided I wanted to include crystals in my home design, I decided to turn to crystal guru Jordie Caskey at Crystalarium in Los Angeles, California.

When things heat up, I'm all about staying cool. Introducing, my Watermelon Lime Margarita Pops!

HAVE YOU TRIED MAKING HOMEMADE POPSICLES BEFORE?

After trying this [super easy/super tasty] recipe, you might find it hard to go back to store-bought popsicles, most which contain added sugar in the form of high fructose corn syrup, unwanted preservatives and additives, and artificial flavors. No thanks!

This recipe combines a few simple, whole-food ingredients for an all-natural, refreshing way to stay cool and hydrated!

It's perfect for a fun family snack, a pool party refreshment, or (with a little tequila, if that's your thing) a fun adult treat.

Did you know that coffee is one of the top sources of antioxidants for Americans, and it may contain more free-radical fighting polyphenols than green tea, black tea, and herbal tea? 🤔 The more you know! 

Below you’ll find my Spiced Cold Brew Coffee Cubes recipe that’s super easy to whip up. It’s so simple and inexpensive, and with a little bit of your favorite nut milk, tastes just as good as a fancy $6 cold brew latte you’d get at a hipster coffee shop. 😉 

My special superpower spiced variation of a classic cold brew is infused with my favorite immune-boosting (and flavorful!) essential oil blend - dōTERRA On Guard Protective Blend.

You’re gonna love it!

As I'm writing this post, I'm in the middle of a pretty stressful chapter of my life. 

I am currently in the process of getting a second home in SLC and moving there temporarily as my business expands! Also, since I'll be living between two cities, I am moving my health coaching practice 95% online.

Definitely exciting developments! But also stressful.

When things get stressful, it's so important to create space for self-love and self-care.

In this post, I talk about 3 areas that are important to focus on during times of intense stress and transition.

Hewie loves when I get packages in the mail almost much as I do, and this most recent package from Paleo by Maileo didn't disappoint either of us! 🐶❤️ 

I was first introduced to Paleo by Maileo when I did a round of Whole30 in January 2017. As an entrepreneur that now lives between two cities, when it comes to stocking up on food I find myself spending less time at the grocery store and more time online. It's easier, it's more convenient, and - a lot of times - it can be more affordable!
