Self-Care for Good Health
So I was just having a dope convo with someone on IG discussing Self-Care. What is it? What does it entail? And do we practice it? My definition of self-care is focusing on doing, saying, being things that not only make you happy but also, provides solace, peace of mind and quality of life for […]

Oil Pulling for a healthy mouth
Oil pulling has been a staple in my life as I learned this technique from my parents, amongst everything else for that matter.

Well, not this person! Why you ask? Simple. Because Nutella is not natural. Let’s see why: Nutella’s ingredients contain the following: sugar, palm […]

Love the Skin You’re In
Looking through my timeline, I noticed the mass amounts of health professionals advertising about getting your “beach body ready” for summer as here in NYC, it is about that time… again. Tons of images portraying “fit,” tall models with lean bodies, abs, muscles, gaps between their legs, flowing hair blowing in the wind as they […]

Gluten Free Pancake Muffins with Streusel Topping
The other day, I wanted to change up my breakfast routine and wanted a sort of all in one type of meal, so decided I would do some type of hearty muffin as I can include many things such as eggs, nuts, fruit, etc. Looking around my cabinets, I noticed bare shelves lacking any or […]
