If you've been around for a while you know I absolutely love butterfly pea flower tea. It's stunning blue hue that shifts to a gorgeous pink when citrus is added is just *chef's kiss*. It's straight up magical! So when I saw a butterfly pea flower gin showing up everywhere on TikTok I knew I had to get my hands on some. Making cocktails has become a fun pastime for me during this pandemic (hello, who else is spending 24/7 at home haha). This cocktail is the perfect, refreshing sip to welcome spring. Floral, tart, & sweet- you'll go back to it over and over again. 1 oz Empress gin 1908 3/4...

Candy cane season has finally arrived and I'm diving in head first! The sweet, spicy flavor of candy cane goes so well with a multitude of flavors, but none more perfectly that chocolate. 1 teaspoon nutella 2 candy canes 1 glass worth of champagne Crush one of your candy canes and sprinkle onto a plate. Roll the rim of your glass first in the Nutella then in the crushed candy cane to make the chocolate candy cane rim. Add your candy cane to the glass & fill with champagne. Enjoy your holiday cheer! ***inspired by a recipe from Delish

Autumn evokes thoughts of cozying up by the fire, long walks through crunchy leaves, and snuggling up with your loved ones with a warm beverage in hand. One of my favorite fall drinks is my maple pecan cinnamon latte. Yummy like a Starbucks drink, but simple to make with a blender from the comfort of your own home.

Seed cycling is when you consume about a tbs a day of certain seeds based on where you are in your cycle. Menstrual phase: pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, and chestnuts. Follicular phase: cashews, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds. Ovulatory phase: almonds, pecans, pistachios, and sesame seeds. Luteal phase: sesame seeds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds. This is not an exhaustive list, simply a highlight of some of the nuts and seeds. Seed cycling is thought to: help balance hormones reduce pms symptoms help...

Seed cycling is all the rage and for a good reason! If you haven't read the book, Woman Code by Alisa Vitti , then GET ON IT! This book has totally transformed how I view my period and improved my body acceptance by leaps and bounds. This book talks all about the female endocrine system and how the foods we put into our bodies effect our hormones. That sentence may have sounded a little boring, but I promise this book isn't! This book was my first introduction to the concept of eating certain foods according to which cycle my body is in. For each phase there are seeds and nuts listed that...

Spring is here! And with it comes fragrant, edible florals of all shapes and sizes. One of my favorites is honeysuckle. As a little girl I remember playing in the garden with my little brother. We would pluck the perfectly ripe, deep yellow honeysuckle from its stem, gently tug on the bottom of the flower, and gently pull the string through until the tiny dot of honey hit our tongues bursting with the promise of Summer just around the corner. Each time I step outside, the smell gently reminds me of simpler days filled with laughter and adventure. This cocktail combines fragrant orange blossom...
