Today I’m sharing my top 3 summertime essential oils. I love essential oils and use them all year round, but there are some that are extra useful in the summer for repelling bugs, cooling you down, and helping with sunburns, scrapes, and cuts.

I’m so excited to share with you my High-Energy Meal Plan. Anyone who knows me, knows I have LOTS of energy. It is my part of my natural personality for sure, but a big part comes from my diet. I focus on eating healthy nutrient dense foods that fuel my body.

Did you know that you can improve thyroid health by supplementing with iodine-rich sea vegetables? Hypothyroidism, or a thyroid the is underproducing hormones, is fairly common in women ages 30-55. Iron-rich sea vegetables can help because the thyroid uses iodine to produce hormones. These hormones play an important role in our energy levels and metabolism.

Instead of taking supplements, I like to incorporate them into my cooking as much as possible. In this post I’m talking all about supplements you can use in your kitchen (and a few extras) to keep you healthy this spring. This post is sponsored by iHerb.

When I was pregnant, especially during the third trimester, I found sleeping during pregnancy to be a big challenge. At this point my belly was pretty big, I had to pee all the time, and my hips were aching. Sleeping in the right position and adding pillows really helped. Today I have a sponsored guest post that talks all about sleeping during pregnancy and the most comfortable positions.

Valentines Day is one of my favourite holidays because it celebrates my favourite colour, pink! Instead of sharing a bunch of chocolate recipes, this year I decided to embrace my love of all things pink and share recipes that use vibrant beets. As an added bonus, beets contain anti-inflammatory compounds that have been studied within the context of heart disease.

In this post I want to explain the awesome health benefits of MCT oil because it is a really popular supplement right now. You often see people adding it to smoothies, coffee, and drinking it straight of the bottle!
