Wellness isn’t just about food and exercise. It’s how happy, fulfilled, and comfortable we are in our skin and relationships❤️

Enjoy your kahk كحك- making it, decorating it,

Enjoy your kahk كحك- making it, decorating it, giving it to family and friends, and eating a few with a deeply-missed hot morning drink☕️🍪

If joy had a flavor then that would be kahk. Kahk is more than just a food, it’s memories with loved ones and sprinkled sugar all over the house. It’s sticky little hands holding their first عيدية gift and the wonderful-ness of watching them experiencing this happy day for the first time.

It’s more than okay to eat for joy. Salad will always be there, and a couple of cookies with family can be soul food for our well-being.

كل سنة و انتوا طيبين و مستمتعين بكل
نعم ربنا ❤️

Can we stop celebrating “will-power”? How ma

Can we stop celebrating “will-power”?

How many times have you been told that you’re unable to change your eating habits because you don’t have enough “will-power”?

That it was your fault for not “controlling” yourself around food?

Well, they were WRONG.

Because our relationship with food is far too complex than that, and will-power is a FINITE resource.

You know how you start a diet, stick to it perfectly for a while, then quit? That doesn’t mean you failed, it just means that you’ve run out of that resource called self-control. And yes, it was INEVITABLE. That’s why it happens to almost EVERYONE who’s ever gone on a diet.

So relying on will-power alone to change habits just.doesn’t.work!

You know what does?

What works is:
✅ Finding your why
✅ Finding your will
✅ Self-love

Your WHY will get you started, and your WILL can keep you motivated through the ups, downs, and everything in between.

Self-love helps make the journey as gentle, pleasurable and durable as you need to reach your goals❤️

Paleo, Keto, Plant-Based...

If trying to fit the way you eat into a specific category stresses you out, try focusing on eating more whole foods, adding in more fruit and veggies, and cutting down on processed junk.

Unless the “label” empowers you (and that is totally fine as well!), going LABEL-LESS can be liberating.

⭐️Berrylicious Cream Cups⭐️
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup coconut oil or applesauce
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mixed berries
2 TB honey
Cinnamon
Vanilla

⭐️Directions⭐️
1- Mix oats, coconut oil or applesauce, honey and cinnamon. I sometimes give it a little blitz in the food processor.
2- Grease muffin tins and carefully press a spoonful of the mixture into each mold. You can use the back of a spoon to really mold it into a cup shape.
3- Bake in a preheated 180c oven for around 15 mins or until crunchy and golden brown.
4- Remove muffin tins and let cool before carefully lifting each “cup” from the mold. It will be very delicate so careful it doesn’t crack.
5- Fill each oat cup with creamy yogurt & vanilla then add a sprinkle of sweet berries.

Over the years we’ve been accustomed to a certain image of health.

Glowing skin, a toned body, daily yoga, green smoothies.

But the more we learn to look beyond the perfect pictures of health, the more clear it becomes that it’s much more than that.

Health- in a nutshell- is a life worth living.

For someone that may include daily yoga and green smoothies.

For others it may include a little more pizza, and a little less yoga.

And for you and me, it may be be something else entirely.

Yes, nutritious food and movement are important.

But on their own, they’re not just what real, inside-out health is all about.

Self-control is a finite resource- we shouldn’t

Self-control is a finite resource- we shouldn’t be expected to exercise it every minute of every day; especially when it comes to food! Working on healing our relationship with all kinds of food and developing habits that make us feel good inside out is a much healthier and kinder way than relying on restriction and an all-or-nothing mindset.

If you’re waiting to make that big change- the one when you cut out sugar and start working out every single day- you really and truly don’t need to change everything all at once.

A little less sugar in your morning coffee, a few extra steps over the day, and one extra side of veggies with your lunch can make a bigger difference in the long run, and be much easier to maintain and enjoy🥗🤸🏻‍♀️
