    Creamy Vegan Butternut Squash Soup

    It's soup season!! Woohoo! SO many soups to be made.. and eaten! One of my absolute favourites throughout the chilly months is a classic butternut squash! I love to play around with my favourite classic soup types and create new ones - adding new ingredients, spicing them up a little bit and introducing new flavours as I go! This one was a lot of fun. I originally intended on making a bit of a squash medley but went for a little garden veggie medley with the squash and loved

It's so easy to style, so easy to wear, SO comfortable and effortlessly transitions from summer to fall!

    Summer is here but that doesn’t mean we have to take on lobster form! Let’s explore my top 5 vegan sunscreens! Ahhh summer, almost seems to have just crept up on us.

    Three Pieces that are Perfect for Winter to Spring Style Transitioning

    We’re getting into spring transition time! (Yayyy!) As much as I want to jump right into short sleeve tees and dresses, let’s take it slow with these essentials.. 1. A cropped long sleeve - like the “see me long sleeve” from Free People The beauty of the cropped long sleeve is it mixes spring/summery style with winter functionality.. no bare shoulders, still keeping you reasonably warm, but really showcasing the concept of the springy months (where we love to sport our crop t

    The Rickie Top

    Everyone needs a good mock-neck long sleeve in their closet, right? Of course we do, maybe multiple! This one is a bestseller and it’s definitely not hard to understand why.. (it’s life changing!) Now, I want to start off by explaining how high collars and mock necks are usually somewhat of a pain, (though essential and adorable) and why exactly this one is so life changing.. (You may be nodding your heads here waiting for it.. haha) Ladies, you know! It is because when you

    My Favourite Cardigan for Winter

    Cardigans come in ALL sorts of forms, styles and fabrics that we love- making them totally interchangeable through the seasons.. Let’s chat about my absolute favourite one for the winter months and why I’m obsessed with it. A lot of us associate cardigans mostly with fall and spring.. (I love them far too much to only wear them a couple seasons out of the year!) With so many different options and knits, there’s bound to be a choice (or 10, if you’re me) for every season of th

    Summer's not over yet, and though it's getting close- there's still plenty of time to indulge in tropical summery drinks!

This one can easily be made virgin by removing the liquor and adding extra pineapple juice instead! Classic Piña Colada Yields: 1 Glass Ingredients: 1/3 cup pineapple juice 10-12 pi
