How I use essential oils in my daily routine

January 17, 2019
I’m kind of obsessed with essential oils. I’ve been using them for just under a year now and WOW! They’ve made such a huge impact on our lives – we sleep better, we stay above the wellness line, we are less stressed, and we experience less aches and pains. Plus, ditching chemicals and toxins has made our home so much healthier and happier.

New Year, Better Me!

January 7, 2019
This year I decided to create my very first vision board and WOW, this is exactly what I needed this year! What I have is a VISION for what I want this year to be for me. I know what areas of my life I want to work on, I know what dreams I would love to see come to fruition, and I know how I’d like to see myself this year.

My “green” skincare routine

December 6, 2018
Soo many skincare products are FILLED with toxins and chemicals that do us more harm in the long run than good. I don’t want any of that on my skin or in my body, so I choose to go with all-natural products. And YL has some of the best skincare products that I’ve ever used!

Affordable Fall Date Ideas

October 14, 2018
Hey Loves! OK, who doesn’t love a good date night? We get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives that we tend to fall into a routine and that routine leaves little time for adventure and FUN! Planning special time for your significant other is not only a great way

Our European Getaway!

October 9, 2018
Hey Loves! I am soo excited to be writing this post, because this really was the trip of a lifetime for me. It’s something that I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do, and not because backpacking through Europe is the “cool” thing to do, but because I’ve always been fascinated with travelling the world and learning about other

Instagram post 2196705033314286340_4627082698 I think it’s safe to say that I’ve found my new go-to spot for the next 9 months while on mat leave. Best thing about it? It’s literally a 3 minute walk from our door 🙌🏽! We live in a condo and this gorgeous cafe just opened up right downstairs. I don’t even have to go outside which is a major bonus considering winter weather is upon us! .
.
The timing couldn’t have been better either considering this mama is starting to go a little stir crazy at home 🤦🏽‍♀️. It’s been about 8 weeks now since I’ve been home with my cute babe, and between the cold weather, snow storms, and flu season we’ve spent most of our days at home where it’s nice and toasty and germ-free! Needless to say, I’m desperate for a change of scenery during the day but don’t want to risk her getting sick by going to public places such as the mall.
.
.
How do you mamas of winter babies handle it? I feel like having a baby in the spring or summer would be so much better in terms of getting to go outside for walks and enjoy some fresh air. For now all the Christmas movies on TV are keeping me going, but I have a feeling the next few months may be a challenge. .
.
Leave me some suggestions on how to get through the cold winter months with a new babe in the comments 👇🏽

.
.
Today’s post is super special to me because I’m sharing my labour and delivery story with you guys 💗
.
This picture is the moment that Mia was put next to me after being born. It was the first time I laid eyes on my sweet baby girl, and the moment that I fell absolutely head-over-heels in love with her. I’m a first-time mom and this was the hardest yet most rewarding experience in my life so far. My labour and delivery was nothing like what I had planned and prepped for, but we made it through and baby Mia was born happy and healthy. .
.
Go check out my blog post to read all about my experience and why it was not what I had planned for. .

Instagram post 2182465914103032958_4627082698 Baby girl is down for the night, which means this mama FINALLY has a chance to start planning out some content for the next few months! .
.
If I’m honest, trying to maintain a blog with a full time job plus being pregnant is HARD! If you’re one of those super women who were able to do it all and be consistent, I applaud you 👏🏽 I’ve been on and off all year... OK let’s face it, I’ve actually been mostly off despite my best intentions 🤷🏽‍♀️
.
.
I told myself that once I was off on maternity leave, I would finally dedicate myself whole heartedly to this passion project of mine, and really invest myself into my blog. But trying to get back into the blogging game with a newborn these past few weeks = not a chance! Her schedule has been SO sporadic and all over the place that I barely get a chance to eat, let alone sit down and write, which I’m sure all you mamas can relate to 🤦🏽‍♀️
.
.
That being said, I’m so so happy that the past few days my little pumpkin has started to sleep for 5 hrs through the night 🙌🏽 and I’m hoping that this is the start of a beautiful new routine, but let’s not jinx it. Cause more sleep time for baby girl means more time for mommy to work on blog content 😍
.
.
So here’s what I need from YOU! Leave me all your blog post ideas that you’d like to see focussed around lifestyle, wellness, and momlife in the comments 👇🏽

Instagram post 2179600259552946944_4627082698 This little pumpkin turned 1 month today 💕
.
I know everyone says to enjoy every moment because time flies by so quickly at this stage, but holy cow, I am stunned at how quickly the past month has flown by! .
.
My little baby Mia has grown so much already, and even though I am beyond excited to see her grow and get to know her more, a part of me is sad that she’s growing SO fast!
.
How many of you mamas feel the exact same way? .

Instagram post 2179422569516578370_4627082698 What is everyone up to on this cold Sunday? I had high hopes of being super productive today, but I am absolutely drained from the past week! .
So instead I’m taking a little time for some self care while baby girl is napping. I’ve got my diffuser going with some Lavender (because you can never go wrong with lavender) and I’m about to check out for a little nap of my own ✌🏽
