5 Beautifying Foods
It’s no secret that living a healthy lifestyle will make you look and feel great, because health radiates from the inside out. In fact, what we traditionally perceive as beautiful (clear skin, shiny hair, white teeth, bright eyes, etc.) are all actually signs of health.
While all fresh wholesome foods are great for your health, there are certain foods that are particularly beautifying, and they are: (more…)
The Art of Salad.
I love salad. Past Sara (the Sara from a few years ago) would never have believed it possible to utter those words and actually mean them. I probably would have rolled my eyes and gone back to my family-sized bag of chips. But times have changed, and I really do love salad. (more…)

Adventures in food.
I’m really excited about everything I’ve eaten today so far, so I thought I’d share it here. (Taken from my instagram, @saradujour)
I wasn’t feeling too hungry at breakfast today, so I just stuck with fruit. 2 sliced organic bananas and all the blueberries I had left in the fridge.
Lunch (part 1) consisted of two toasted slices of Ezekiel sprouted whole grain & seed bread, with one organic avocado sliced on top. I got really lucky with this one – it was perfectly ripe, creamy, and just like butter. For flavour, I spritzed a bit of lime juice on top and added sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Every bite was a delight.
I also had a plain green tea, and I’m about to make myself an enormous mixed greens and tomato salad for lunch part 2. I love food! :)
