come on lets get happy

Happy Tuesday! 🌸💕 Whenever I go to Goodness Me {grocery list prepared and all} I get sucked into buying things I don't need. 🙊🙈 It's hard not to buy everything in sight- I may have a problem. 😂 ____________________________________________► • • • • • #realfood #feedyourbody #want #happiness #organic #wholefoods #treatyoself #ihaveaproblem #holistic #foodie #foodporn

"Go inside and listen to your body, because your body will never lie to you.

Happy Sunday! 💜🌸💕 Oh brunch {I slept in a little 🙊}, and I always forget my love for dragon fruit until I see them back in grocery stores. This cactus like fruit I feel like runs under the radar for the most part but has so many nutrients! Dragon fruit is rich in vitamin c, b-vitamins, carotene, and anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. 🙌🏻👏🏻 Beneficial for immune and cardiovascular health {can help lower LDL-bad cholesterol-}, but they're also tasty as hell and can be paired with anything {in my opinion 😊}! _______________________________________________________► organic chai seeds, buckwheat, flax seeds, dragon fruit, blackberries, banana, PB2 powder, and honey and oats bread. #healthylifestyle #brunch #dragonfruit #organic #wholefoods #mindbodysoul #mindbodygreen #fuel #feedyourbody #nutritious

Rainy weather calls for being bundled up in bed with tea and a toasty breakfast. 😉💕 {I'm so lame. 🙈} I created a chocolate protein peanut butter spread; finally broke out my PB2, and if you're a peanut butter fiend like I am... it's a great substitute rather than eating from the jar! 🙊🙈 _______________________________________________________► organic blackberries, chai seeds, buckwheat, flax seeds, banana, PB2, chocolate sun warrior protein, and honey & oats bread. #healthylifestyle #toast #mindbodysoul #happiness #organic #wholefoods #food #foodie #eatgoodfeelgood #eatrealfood #protein #nourish

Finding time for everything within 24 hours can be hard; hectic times happen to us all. 😪Working full time, going to the gym, trying to have a social life and have "me" time {meal prep time 💕} is exhausting sometimes. But all you can really do is go with it and find alternatives that make your life easier; if it's not fruit then I am munching on protein bars. However, I am very picky because even though they're a "quick fix" doesn't mean they can't have any real substance! Vegan Greens protein bars are my favourite, but variety is always nice. 😉 That's where @fitjoynutrition bars come in... these guys came into my life not too long ago and I'm quite happy with the ingredients: GMO free, no artificial colours, flavours and or sweeteners {they taste amazing}! High in protein; they help keep my energy up, maintain healthy blood sugar levels and keep those pesky cravings 3pm cravings away. 👏🏻🙌🏻💕 _______________________________________________________► FitJoy flavours: french vanilla almond, chocolate peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie dough. 💜 #mindbodygreen #protein #onthego #busy #healthylifestyle #snacks #fuel #gmofree #fitjoy

Hiding away from the world in one of my favourite little cafes! Food and sketch book in hand... it's a good Thursday. 👏🏻🌸💕💕 _______________________________________________________ • • • food from @capbistroguelph • • • #cafe #bistro #food #foodie #quiet #quiettime #healthylifestyle #sketch #thursday

Happy Wednesday! ✌🏻🌸💕 A busy lifestyle and overnight oats go perfectly together! {I may be obsessed 🙈} You can do many different combinations of them; I did chocolate maca protein oats paired with plain oats soaked in almond milk. Sometimes life gets hectic and it may not feel like you have no time, but simple little recipes like this take maybe 5-10 minutes. {They've honestly saved me.} ••• | @fitjoynutrition vanilla almond protein bar for after my workout. {I may have lost my shaker bottle 🙊} _______________________________________________________► organic chai seeds, buckwheat, flax seeds, blueberries, banana, maca ghee, chocolate sun warrior protein, and almond milk. #mindbodysoul #healthylifestyle #goodfood #ᴏvernightoats #simple #busy #active #organic #foodie #foodforthought #humpday #fitjoy #maca #chocolate

Happy sunday! 💜🌸🌸💕 Sometimes you need to indulge in guilty pleasures; chicken and waffles have become one of mine. 🙈 It may not be "healthy", but really why should food be classified as bad or good? Yes, some will fuel the body much better, but it's also good to feed the soul! And keeping good company around that can cook like this helps {I can't take credit for this delicious dish... only the photo. 😉}. 😍 _______________________________► breaded chicken (black pepper, black cayenne, bread crumbs, eggs and flour), caramelized onions, homemade maple syrup and hot peppers #happiness #foodforthesoul #mindbodysoul #foodforthought #foodie #chickenandwaffles #indulge #healthylifestyle

Mental health is a very tricky thing to balance, and it's the gateway to living a healthy {happy} life. No matter what people say or do; you are the one who decides where you want to be and how you see yourself. Negative self talk doesn't tap into who you really are; that beautiful {handsome}, vibrant and intelligent human being that develops with positivity. Taking time to yourself is one of the best ways to decompress, and listen to what's going on with your mind, body and soul. Whether it be five minutes, a hour or two, or a whole day; none of that matters or makes you "lazy". Be kind to yourself, and do whatever it takes to be happy. 💕🌸💕 {screw everything else! 😌} __________________________________ • • • #happiness #mindbodysoul #meditation #tea #comfort #healthylifestyle #mentalhealth #yourebeautiful #bekind #bekindtoyourself

Happy Tuesday! "Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is." {Mandy Hale} The craving for pizza has been real for days, and the moment has finally come. {so dramatic but so true 😂🙈} _______________________________________________________► Pizza by @levettoresto • • • ingredients: speck, sweet medjool date sauce, arugula, fior di latte and roasted almonds. 💕💕🌸😍 #happiness #whatmakesyouhappy #pizza #food #foodie #cravings #goodfood #healthylifestyle #mindbodysoul

The weekend is finally here, and we all get to sleep in a little! {Or maybe hit the gym early knowing that everyone else is still in bed. 🙊} However you're spending your saturday morning I hope it's relaxing for you {we all need that from time to time!}. 💕 • • • I made my overnight oats again, but this time I threw some dark chocolate Maca powder. Maca was introduced to me about a year ago and my energy levels have gone up significantly! Another change is how my PMS symptoms {maybe too much information🙈} have become less severe. My legs used to feel like bricks, I would get lower back pains and every other awful thing that comes with that time of the month. Maca is packed with so many minerals, vitamins and amino acids; so it's able to help level out hormones, balance your mood and enhance energy levels. If you struggle with severe and or even a little PMS I'd suggest checking out Maca- it can do wonders for the body! 💜💜😍 _______________________________________________________► organic chia seeds, buckwheat, flax seed, almonds, cranberries, blueberries, banana, oats, almond milk, sun warrior protein, PB and dark chocolate maca. #food #foodie #oats #organic #wholefoods #foodforthought #foodforthesoul #mindbodysoul #pms #hormones #maca #happiness

"Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire." 🌸🌸💕 Happy Thursday everyone; I hope today brings happiness and a smile on your face. 💜 _______________________________________________________► oats, almonds, banana, blueberries, cranberries and protein pudding (chocolate sun warrior protein powder, chai seed, buckwheat, hemp hearts and almond milk) #organic #wholefoods #foodforthesoul #foodforthought #happiness #pink #goodvibes #foodie #foodphotography #thursday #believeinyourself

"Tell the negative committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up." 💪🏻 A quick breakfast before hitting the road! Having a bit of a chocolate craving so I mixed in organic cacao powder with my PB. So good! 💕😏 _______________________________________________________► organic banana, cacao powder, peanut butter, whole grain toast, free run egg whites and whole egg. #organic #breakfast #eatgoodfeelgood #happiness #food #foodie #foodforthought #foodforthesoul

Happy Wednesday! 🌸💕 It's a salad kind of day... (I may or may not crave them a lot 🙊) You can be so creative with them, and they take little or no time to prepare! Recently I've become a fan of putting sprouts in my salads (sprouts never had much taste to me), but they are amazing for the body. Sprouts can help boost energy levels, immune health, lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and do wonders for the gut! Rich in fibre, protein, enzymes, and key vitamins and minerals (to name a few: b-vitamins, magnesium, iron and much more). 🙌🏻🙌🏻 _______________________________________________________► organic kale, red cabbage, carrots, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, sprouts and free ranged hardboiled egg. • ingredients courtesy of Goodness Me salad bar... I was in a rush this morning. 😪😪🙈• #organic #goodnessme #food #foodforthought #foodie #happiness #greens #mindbodygreen #freerange #foodphotography #beetjuice #rinseandrebeet

It's the weekend so treat yourself! ❤️ A buddy of mine introduced me to these vegan s'more cookies, and I'm very particular with my baked goods because I don't eat them all that much. But these things will be the death of me, honestly. 🙈Also it gives me another excuse to wander around Goodness Me like a child. Now for the chocolate, I've always been more of a fan of dark rather than milk chocolate so when I came across @zazubean I was ecstatic! They're a Canadian company, formed in BC: their products are free-trade and 100% organic. Most of their bars contain around 70% dark chocolate, and are GMO and soy free! This leaves them rich in antioxidants and flavonoids: these can help protect cells from free radical damage and have anti-inflammatory effects. So thank you Zazubean for making such healthy-yet delicious-chocolate! 💕🙌🏻 ______________________________________________________ ► #vegan #foodforthesoul #vegantreats #chocolate #cookies #healthylifestyle #treatyoself #foodie #whatmakesyouhappy #foodphotography #glutenfree #goodmoodfood #zazubeanadventure
