Divya from Flavour Fiesta suggested that we do a main dish today, since we haven’t done one in a while. I couldn’t agree with her more as I’m running out of dinner ideas! This week, we feature a gorgeous cayenne shrimp, served with a tangy tomato and yellow pepper sauce…

We took a little break from Beauty Eats over the holidays, but now we are back in full force for 2012! I’ve eaten way too much over the holidays so one of my New Year’s resolutions is to eat healthy and exercise regularly (how original, I know). I personally, love smoothies because it is so […]

I’ve talked about the benefits of goji berries in skincare before (see here), but if you want to reap additional benefits from this amazing fruit, try matching what you do on the outside with what you do on the inside. It may take some time to ease into the taste of goji berries (they are […]

As Divya from Flavour Fiesta and I brainstormed what Thanksgiving food/drink we should make for this week’s post that’s both beauty-approved and ‘not turkey’ (because we’re sure you’ll have plenty of that to spare), we finally came up with a delicious, warm cider made with a festive holiday fruit – cranberries!

Last Friday, Divya from Flavour Fiesta invited me over for another cooking date – so fun! We threw around some ideas for new ‘Beauty Eats’ posts and then Divya made a light, yet still wonderfully filling lunch filled with vibrant colours. It’s true what they say – eat fruits and vegetables with lots of colours […]

First week of September – yikes! For me, this means back to school to complete my last year (hooray!) and reorganizing my closet to reacquaint myself with my fall wardrobe. I must admit, fall is not my favourite season. But you know what does cheer me up? Something sweet… and preferably something healthy so I […]

I discovered my affinity for arugula during my time in New York, when I had the opportunity to sample many gorgeously crafted arugula salads in various eateries. Lucky for me, this is one of those vegetables that I adore, making it a wonderful addition to my selection of vegetables that I consume for skin health. […]
