Back Away from the Starbucks... Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipes to Celebrate Fall

As soon as the calendar shifted from August to September, we have to admit there’s a little longing for our old lives… including that oh so familiar Pumpkin Spice Latte. But the reality is, we don’t need it, and once we found out what was in it, we decided to kiss it good-bye for good. In our quest to recreate our very ‘basic bitch’ Fall beverage of choice, we found loads of recipes for paleo pumpkin spice lattes filled with real ingredients that we don’t feel the least bit concerned about drinking.

Selfcare Sunday | 4 Bath Teas You Can Make Right Now

It’s been a week, hasn’t it? We’re feeling tired, worn out, and a bit emotional. So while in some ways self-care has become a bit cliché and a brand unto itself we recognize the virtue of regularly stopping and carving out some time to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and take some time for renewal.

We’ve found baths to be the perfect, low-cost way to create a little ‘relaxation cave’ and slow the heck down. We don’t need any special equipment, and most of the ingredients we’ve found to create the most lux baths have actually come straight out of our pantry or bathroom closet.

So read on, and we hope you’re inspired to create a little me-time this week. (Oh who are we kidding… Do it today.)

4 Steps to a Non-Toxic Kitchen | Guest Feature: Three Little Plums

You want, no you need a ‘detox’;  you want to eat healthier, feel better and decrease the toxins you are exposed to. Your first step, you might think, is to embark on a clean food regime- an organic, colorful,  superfood filled diet.  But, hold on there.  In order to have a truly clean meal you need to take a look at where your meal is prepared:  the kitchen.  Does your kitchen support you in your non-toxic living journey?  If it doesn’t , your kitchen and the items you use to prepare your meals, could essentially be contaminating your healthy food and exposing you to harmful  chemicals.  This is why detoxing your kitchen is just as important as detoxing your diet.

Pasadena's Bone Kettle Restaurant & A Recipe For Bone Broth

We’ve been drinking bone broth for years. Although, truly, if you want to get technical about it, we’ve been eating it for decades, because we grew up on soups of all sorts, most of them divined — alchemical-style — out of a pot full of water, some vegetables, and a big pile of bones. Bone broths have sustained us through childhood sicknesses, broken hearts, and most recently, through some nasty bouts of autoimmune crises. In so many ways, bone broth is life-sustaining.
