This Really Works
Fill in the blank: I’ve been really __________ the last couple of weeks. That’s what I asked my readers to do. And here’s what they said: anxious, angry, sad, pissed, on hold… It’s hard to navigate those when your routine is upside down, you’re social distancing...

Self-Care Doesn’t Have to Be Solitary

Chilled Beet Soup
Beets are a power food: they are anti-inflammatory, can help detox your blood and liver and are immune boosting. My CSA share this included beets, cucumber and spring onion, so I’ve made an easy beet soup! This soup comes together quickly because you grate the beets...
