Here is a simple and delicious recipe for peony syrup. The spiritual properties of peony are about reminding us of balanced generosity—meaning that you can graciously give and receive. When you're balanced in your generosity, you're balanced in the flow of life. This recipe is another way, apart from our seasonal candles, that we found to celebrate peonies this year! Use it as a base for your summer cocktails and drinks. I like it poured over ice in the blender with a bit

Did you know that in all of existence there is only one you? What are the chances that on a planet of seven billion people and an infinite universe that you’re here, right now with the opportunity to be YOU? The fact that you’re alive in this moment matters—it matters a great deal and your precious existence on this Earth is not by accident or without consequence. The opportunity to be YOU is a miracle! But, it can still be a challenge to be you sometimes, right?! Life is bus

We have more of our conversation with my favourite shaman/healer/and all-around wise woman, Mandi Mack . I get to dive into her toolbox of tips and techniques she shares with clients about moving through the emotions of grief (yup, it's a universal experience right now), building emotional resiliency, and simple but powerful ceremonies for getting through grief. If you missed Part One, where we talk about emotional ninjas—yes, ninjas!—you can catch up on all of the fun here.

EFL: Let’s talk about grief! What sparked my interest in having a conversation with you was a video you put out during the pandemic. You said, ‘if you haven’t done any grief work, it might be coming up for you now’. I wanted to talk to you because I’ve learned that grief isn't just about what we experience when somebody close to us dies. We can have grief over a loss of any kind, so it’s a timely topic! MM: That’s exactly it. The etymology of the word grief is about sorrow,

You don’t need me to tell you that 2020 has been A LOT, so here’s your friendly reminder to check-in and take care of your energy. What does that mean? You can think of your energy as existing in two reservoirs—one is your light force energy, and the other is your life force energy. Your Light Force energy is your ability to attract what you want into your life because it builds up your magnetic field. It’s the field around you that strengthens your immune system and harmoniz

Can we talk about the work-from-home situation right now? Let's be real,this is an everything-from-home situation right now, which makes carving out intentional spaces at home challenging AF. Everyone is home, everyone has a different schedule, needs etc.If you're like me, you're going to need some of your own space right now, whether it’s physically, mentally or emotionally to stay balanced and happy! Here are my top tips for setting an intentional vibe in three different s

Grief touches us all. It’s simply part of the human experience. I don’t know why this is the case, and I won’t tell you that there’s a higher purpose to it, or even worse ‘that everything happens for a reason’ because that feels to difficult to hear. My only observation is that it happens and usually it feels hard a.f. I wanted to share what I’ve learned about how plants can help us through these times. This isn’t about avoiding grief, or finding a shortcut through it—I’m not

I’ve read the fine print and it turns out that the spiritual journey, or even just everyday life for that matter, isn’t all dancing deer and butterflies. Shocking, right? If you are alive and breathing today then you are on a spiritual journey because, as I’m sure you’ve heard, you are a spiritual being having a physical experience. We’re all in this together! When the journey gets hard, and you know it will, here are three things to remember: 1. Everyone has a right to their

When you have your own mind under control, intuition will give you all of the knowledge of the world” —Yogi Bhajan Big decisions can be tricky because they're often emotionally charged and in those situations the ego voice, logical mind, conditioned thinking (what you've been taught to think), and advice from others all start to play out in your mind, and pretty soon it feels like all of this dialogue has deteriorated into an argument between yourself and...yourself. At momen

It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with skin care. I love all of the lotions and potions, but what I really love about skin care is skin! Maybe it's my academic background, but I love the biology of how our skin functions. It’s a whole world of micro-biomes, epigenetic expression, and intelligent filtration. But despite my amazement with skin I have to admit, for a long time I kinda hated my own skin. I struggled for years with its appearance and unpredictable breakouts. Lookin
