Citrus Season Creation that is cute enough for Valentine’s Week! 🥰❤️🩷Self-love in a Bowl!

Here’s your reminder that eating healthy, in season, feel good, whole foods doesn’t always have to be complicated and it’s really about being playful with seasonings, herbs, and flavor profiles.

🫜🍊Sliced Beets, Red Onion, Chickpeas, Grapefruit, Feta Crumbles, Mandarin/Tangerine White Balsamic Vinegar, EVOO, Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Thyme, Red Pepper Flakes and Italian Style Soffritto Seasoning Blend. 🤌

(Two Ways: I made this the night before as a fast side dish with some fish and sweet potato fries. And then added Grapefruit to the leftovers for a fast delicious lunch “salad” the next day, alongside with some Matcha/Collagen Powder Tea.)

I challenge you to play with some creativity with food instead of always just following recipes. 😉 That’s right, contrary to your childhood upbringing, I am very much telling you to “play with your food.” 🤣

Story Time with a Purpose! 👉Earlier this month, I was having a stressful day. It’s felt like a constant onslaught of something for months. Then in the same 24 hour period: 1.) My car died in the extreme cold and I had to cancel afternoon appointments and get an appointment scheduled for a new battery. 2.) A one of a kind handmade lamp from Bulgaria (that’s one of my few treasured/favorite physical possessions shattered) and 3.) After having people in my house for almost 8 months for water, mold, demo, rebuild fiascos, the workers FINALLY left and had “completed the job.” I go to shower in one of my brand new showers for the FIRST time and notice two corners have cracked grout and cracked shower tile (still waiting on them to remedy). 😩🙄

I do NOT have high blood pressure, but I could feel the rising stress accumulating in my body, mind, and nervous system that day. I decided to go lay down and check my blood pressure before engaging in some care for myself; shocking, it was high! I captured the before and after of my blood pressure to demonstrate the power of even a 10-15 minute nervous system care practice like Breathwork!!

Breathwork, among other things, is not just about taking a “time out for self care,” and to do something that just feels “nice” or “relaxing.” It’s quite LITERALLY disease treatment, management, and prevention.

Two weeks from today, on Sunday, February 22nd, I will be hosting my last Nourish By Breath “Sun & Moon” Winter Series Breathwork Classes. Space is limited! Will you be joining me? (See other posts for details!)

Look for announcements on other “Nourish By Breath” class offerings and other events coming this Spring! 🤗

When life feels heavy sometimes the best thing to do is to take a step back, give yourself some space to pause, and to take a breath in monetary rest. Not all can, will, or needs to be fixed or figured out in these precise moments. Carve out some small moments just for being and breathing. Happy Hump Day, Friends. 🙏
