Can’t Beet This Smoothie
October and November are the perfect months to detox our bodies in preparation for the long Winter ahead. There’s a 3 week cleanse program going on right now with whole food eats and while I haven’t been following it fully due to all the Halloween treats, I’ve been upping my fresh juice and smoothie intake…
Stuffed Jack-o’-Lanterns
I remember getting absolutely frantic the day of Halloween. Scratch that… I was frantic the days leading up to EVERY holiday.

Vegan Caramel Popcorn Ant Hills
Growing up in a small town had it’s benefits. #1 – We knew everyone. #2 – When it came time for Halloween and we received homemade treats while trick-or-treating, we were allowed to eat them. I remember the first Halloween we spent in the big city. Mom and Dad decided to move us ON Halloween…

Yoga in Montreal: Moksha, Viveka and Jivamukti
[source] I’ve had two weeks to use my Passport to Prana card to visit 3 different yoga studios in Montreal, meet amazing people, adventure out into the city, try new styles, and learn a bit more about myself in the process. Not too bad for a $30 pass! First, I visited Moksha Yoga NDG, a…
