Dear Maddi, It’s been exactly one month since you stepped on a plane and left everything behind. You left your family, your friends, your comfort zone and his side. Thomas’ side. You cried every day for a week. Not graceful tears that fall perfectly down your cheeks, but can’t breath ugly crying that left your…

Spiced Beetroot Latte Porridge
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve uploaded a recipe here guys I know. I’ve been somewhere between ‘living in the moment’, procrastination and feeling inadequate.

Ahh, another week, and another day literally freezing my butt off. I really love strongly dislike Winter. In a bid to remain positive, I thought i’d write a list of things that I actually like about Winter in the hope that it will distract me from the fact that I can’t feel my fingers. Things…

Pantry Essentials for a Whole Foods Kitchen

DIY Spiced Turmeric Latte
Isn’t it crazy how far we’ve come in society. Years ago a soy milk latte was about as crazy as things got, reserved for people who became violently ill consuming dairy, or seriously OG vegans. These days you could order a blue mermaid latte and no one would bat an eyelid. I swear I heard…
