Beauty food 🙌🏼 I️ made this smoothie bowl this morning with extra frozen mixed berries and the texture was perf! If you’re looking for a refreshing breakfast, this is it! To make: 🌸 2 frozen bananas 🌸 1 cup frozen mixed berries 🌸 1/4 cup water/plant milk 🌸 blend ingredients in a high powered blender (@vitamix) 🌸 top with mandarins, coconut, pumpkin seeds, mulberries, almonds, toasted coconut, cacao nibs, white chia, and puffed quinoa! TIP - start off with less liquid than more - it’s easier to add more if the consistency isn’t right! 💦 Ingredients from // @persiafoods @kikisvancouver @organictraditions @sweetcherubim1980 @costco (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

Just stopping in to say hi! 💙 Up in the forest yesterday with @thepurelife_ and @thebarefootboy was breathtaking. After a quick hike up, a view that was priceless, and some cute little friends visiting, it truly goes to show how the best things in life are free. What is your favourite way to disconnect and spend time in nature? 💙 (at Cypress Mountain)

Beautiful summer 🌞 Although the summer weather was incredible, I’ve really been loving the cold! We had one of our first snowfalls here in Vancouver and it was beautiful ❄️ My mama and I went on a walk down commercial drive and enjoyed some vegan pizza at @eastvanpizza before heading to @valuevillage_thrift for some thrifted items! Such a wonderful day! Find the simplicity ✨ (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

Breakfast heaven 😇 I couldn’t decide between overnight oats or banana ice cream so I decided to make both! I divided the 2 layers with some strawberries and topped it all off with @organictraditions cacao nibs! ✨ #VEGAN (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY 💙🌎💙 I am forever grateful that just under 2 years ago @kennedy_spencer introduced me to the world of veganism. Living a lifestyle based on sustainability, compassion for all beings, and awareness of my health has improved my life both mentally and physically. Developing a strong and healthy relationship with food has made me recognize how LUCKY we are to be able to choose the way we eat, how many innocent lives are being saved, and how eating plant based food helps to heal and support the environment/planet.

I topped a couple of them off with some @so_delicious Cocowhip and orange food colouring, as well as some @organictraditions cacao nibs for little eyes! 🎃👻 is hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween! #VEGAN #GLUTENFREE #halloween (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

Hi friends! 💛 I took some time today to take a much needed nap and do some exercise and it felt SO good! Taking time for yourself to relax, read, exercise, or whatever it is you like to do to wind down, is super important in keeping that balance. Hope you’ve all had a wonderful Monday! Halloween recipe up tomorrow!😈🎃 (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

Being nice: what does that mean to you? 💙 To me, being nice means taking that moment before you say or do something to reflect on how your words or action feel. Are they nice words? Would you like to hear those things or have that action done against you? Do you feel good after saying something negative? I feel like far too often, things slip our tongues and we forget to realize that we ALL experience emotion. We are in this world TOGETHER 🌎 The sooner we start to treat each other kindly, the sooner we can start to foster better communication and cooperation between all beings. When you say something nice to someone else, it makes YOU feel good too 😊 Giving is synonymous with receiving. When you give, you are also the recipient. Try going out with a smile tonight or tomorrow, and give someone a compliment - I guarantee that you’ll both feel great 💕 (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

The most decadent natural mani 💅🏼💕 Swipe to see more! Throughout the last year, I really enjoyed getting gel nail polish, but when I found out about @joyridevancouver I knew I had to make the switch! Their salon offer polishes which are either 3-free, 5-free, or 7-free, meaning they are free of the main toxic ingredients which are found in most nail polishes! Along with my non-toxic polish, I was treated to a full manicure, an essential oil infused hand scrub and massage, and a peppermint tea 😌 Also, my wonderful nail tech Naz, treated my boyfriend to a little cuticle oil 🙈 If that wasn't enough, they also gifted me their fall-scented lotion (I'm obsessed)! Their sweet little studio is located in Kitsilano and is so welcoming and the staff is super friendly! If you enjoy getting your nails done and are looking for a natural alternative, then I definitely recommend Joyride! If you go let them know I sent you! Stay tuned for their feature in my next YouTube video!💕 #joyridevancouver (at Joyride)

Who knew salads could be packed with so much?! 🥗 My favourite way of getting my greens in is to load up my bowl with my favourite lettuce (currently red leaf or romaine) and then top it with tons of baked veggies, rice, fresh veg, and olives! 🌱 This way I feel full and satisfied, while still incorporating my greens 😊 What is your favourite way of eating your greens? #VEGAN Ingredients from // @persiafoods @kikisvancouver (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

"Not every sky will be blue and not every day is springtime. So on the spiritual path a person learns to find this kind of happiness without needing nice things to happen on the outside. Rather, you find happiness by being who you really are. This isn't mystical. Young children are happy being who they are. The trick is to regain such a state when you are grown and have seen the light and dark sides of life." Deepak Chopra ✨ If you guys are looking for good spirituality to books to read as a beginner, I suggest looking into Deepak. His writing has such nice flow and is a great place to come when looking to find stillness. I first read The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success as recommended by @thepurelife_ , and now I'm onto The Path to Love 💕 What are your favourite spirituality books? (at Vancouver, British Columbia)
