On day 600 of COVID quarantine, I craved my favourite takeout Indian meal: warm butter chicken, soft garlic naan, and crispy fried okra (Kukuri Bhindi). Since we definitely don’t have delivery at the farm, I set out to replicate the flavours with what I had in the kitchen. These warm, spicy flavours are exactly what we need for comfort right now, and it's loaded with healthy spices, like turmeric, nutritious fats, like coconut oil, and is plant based as the chicken is swapped for cauliflower. This is the first time I’ve ever made Indian food, and okra, which was slightly intimidating. But. I found the perfect recipe on Half Baked Harvest, one of my favourite food blogs. I loved that we...
Workouts: I’m sure you’ve heard enough about everyone’s at home fitness routine and could care less by now, but its obligatory! There’s no arguing that movement and increasing your heart rate will result in a better mood, improved circulation, and glowing skin. But it can be SO difficult when we’re preoccupied with staying fed and healthy. That’s when I turn to Melissa Wood workouts - they’re fast (between 15-25 minutes depending on the class you pick) and they go by really fast once you get started, they’re targeted so you can choose the area you want to focus on and not feel totally depleted, and I genuinely feel better after doing them. The Pilates flows aim to give you long,...
Here are the products I’m currently reaching for to keep my skin healthy and hydrated, my hands from cracking, and a little mind/body stress release. Since we find ourselves with a bit more time on our hands right now I was inspired to dig through my skincare archives to change up my routine (this was a little influenced by the abundance of skincare on Instagram too). But, I was quickly reminded of what inspired Inner Glow: less is more. The products I added to my routine actually caused new problems (breakouts and texture) so, I present to you a luxuriously edited skincare routine that sticks to the staples but gives you all the glow and nutrients your skin needs. Face...
With uncertain times comes inevitable stress and anxiety. So, I thought this would be the perfect time to share a simple Gua Sha facial massage to release tension and stress held in the face and jaw, and also to promote lymphatic drainage. Place 6-7 drops of Inner Glow in your palms, rub hands together and pat it into your face and neck, paying special attention to the under eye area. Repeat each motion 5 times on each side of the face with very light pressure. Take a few deep inhales of the all natural, calming aromatherapy of Inner Glow. Thank you for your continued support in these difficult times and follow along on Instagram for how we’re staying busy and...
