A Turmeric Latte Recipe We Love

We are so excited to share with you today a turmeric latte recipe we love from our dear friend and wellness guru, Leora Caylor of The Wildery.Here is a little bit about turmeric from Leora: Turmeric (or Curcuma longa) is not new on the scene; it’s been a staple in Indian cuisines for centuries, usually prepared with fats and other spices that work synergistically to enhance flavors. With a long list of scientifically-supported benefits, its recent popularity is well-deserved. Turmeric contains powerful substances called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin. When it comes to turmeric, I regularly include the spice with meals, sprinkling it over my eggs in the morning, or combining it with other spices for added synergy. But one of my favorite ways to enjoy turmeric is to drink it!And here is Leora's Pumpkin Turmeric Spice Latte Recipe:Start by warming up the coconut milk on your stovetop, hot but not boiling. The fat content in the coconut milk helps to enhance the absorption of the turmeric (i.e. bioavailability!). Add in the remainder of the ingredients and blend. Enjoy!1 cup Coconut Milk*1 tbsp Pumpkin Puree*½ tsp Turmeric Spice*½ tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend* or Cinnamon*½ tsp Honey* (optional - for sweetening, but usually not needed)1 scoop Collagen (optional - excellent source of protein)*Organic if possible*Cinnamon for topping--Disclaimer: As with any supplement, run everything by your medical team, keeping your own unique health status and needs in mind.

The Year of The Clean Sweep

Hi friends! As always, January is seen by many as a time for a fresh start when it comes to health, fitness, and wellness. This January, I am SO EXCITED because I am launching a wellness subscription program! Enter 2019, the year of The Clean Sweep. It is a 3-month subscription program with 90 days worth of daily content. You will get weekly emails (including the 7 days of reading plans for that week) as I walk you through practical ways to clean sweep your life from the food you eat, to the products you use, to the wellness practices you implement in your daily life.I talked about the program on the blog here (as well as on Instagram!), and you can learn all of the details and purchase it here. Please note, the pre-shop is over, but don't worry! You can still purchase the program and it will be worth every dollar! This program makes me so excited because I will be guiding you along the journey that I have walked myself when it comes to foods, products, and practices.Of course each of our journeys will be different since each body is different, making the wellness journey a personal and uniquely beautiful one! However, my personal experience has equipped me with knowledge, information, and lessons that I cannot wait to share with you all.I also wanted to remind you of this fitness post that I wrote earlier this year. In addition to clean sweeping your life, staying active is so important! Keep moving whenever possible, but at the same time, be sure to rest well in order to recharge and reset for the next day.Hope you join me on this Clean Sweep! Love you all xo.

It is a guide based on everything I have learned in the past few years as I have personally been on the clean journey myself by eliminating toxins from life, eating as purely as possible, and also practicing self-care routines, all in an effort to feel my best from the inside out, thrive through healthy living, and honor my God-given body.I so hope you consider purchasing the program! Content will be sent straight to your inbox on a daily schedule, so you are just reading a portion a day.

Sweet Recipes To Savor

You guys have heard me talk about the Sweet Laurel cookbook before on Instagram, so I felt the holidays were the perfect time to dedicate a blog post to this incredible cookbook. Created by Laurel Gallucci & Claire Thomas, Sweet Laurel is a curated collection of the yummiest desserts and savory breads that are made with whole foods and are also grain-free. Praise hands up for that!From turmeric bread to cinnamon rolls and southern biscuits to lavender cookies, there are so many sweet recipes to savor. The best part is the whole food part...there is such freedom and joy found in baking and enjoying desserts and savory treats that are made with real ingredients and free of grains that would more than likely bother your gut. These recipes are ones that your body, mind, and soul will all enjoy, and for that, we are so grateful.Whether you want to gift the cookbook this Christmas or prepare one of the recipes for a holiday brunch or party, this is the perfect time of year to grab a copy for you and for loved ones! As you probably already saw, this was on my gift guide and you can bet that I'll be gifting it this year! xo

An Anti-Aging Wonder: Fountain of Truth Beauty

I could not be more proud of my dear friend, Giuliana, for using her story for good in so many ways. One of which is her most recently launched skincare line called Fountain of Truth. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, G was unable to find a clean skincare line that treated the appearance of fine lines, discoloration, and other skin issues. So, she created her own! It has been extra sweet to watch how personal this process has been for her + how much care she has put into creating it.Reasons why I personally love FOT:

• The Fountain of Truth^™ formulas contain Super Bio-Ferment technology of clean, safe, gentle, and highly effective, fermented, skin-loving botanical ingredients.
• The use of fermented ingredients: efficacy and potency of ingredients may be increased when they are fermented because they can be "broken down" into smaller molecules to help improved the appearance of skin's surface.
• It uses smaller molecules, which can allow for more skin penetration, hydration, and soothing. Not to mention, fermentation can also help the nutrient density and concentration of skin-loving ingredients. All this makes for a gentle, yet effective formula to help to improve texture, tone, dryness, and the appearance of fine lines.
• A few of the ingredients:
• • Wakame Seaweed has powerful antioxidant benefits.
  • Iron, Magnesium, Copper and Silicon get fermented and play important roles in helping skin look and feel healthy.
  • Zinc is an important antioxidant for the skin.

P.S. This is the cutest present ever for the holidays!  

The Gift of Clean Cleaning

We know what you must be thinking- the gift of clean cleaning doesn't sound very appealing for a Christmas gift, right? Well, we say wrong! Cleaning our homes is a daily aspect of our lives and doing it with clean products is so important. Branch Basics' concentrate and refillable bottles have been truly life-changing for us, so we want to share that with people on our gifting list this year!Their concentrate is crafted with completely pure ingredients, causing it to be totally safe and free of toxins. This is the only cleaning solution I use for our home! It gives me such peace of mind. I have had the joy to get to know their founders and they are such wonderful, kind people with a serious passion for toxin-free living.Eliminating as many toxins as possible in our homes helps our bodies and minds be as healthy as possible, as we were originally made, and not filled-up or so affected by harsh chemicals that affect our nervous system and so much more. By removing toxic products from our homes, like chemically-based cleaning solutions, we can help our bodies be restored to a more pure state.This holiday season we invite you to think again about giving clean cleaning products. Branch Basics seriously makes for an amazing wellness gift (as we mentioned in our Gift Guide), one that keeps giving daily through the year. Thank you, Branch Basics, for creating such a pure product!
