Cold elixirs are basically my life right now. Case and Point: Matcha Basil Limeade, Blue Magic Lemonade, Kombucha Slushie. Can’t stop won’t stop. I think I am just going to throw an alcohol free elixir party and you are all invited. Sound good? Good.
First on the list will be this Watermelon Holy Basil Chia Fresca. Are you ready to give it a go?
Lemonade anyone? What if I told you there was a lemonade out there that will basically change the way you make lemonade forever?! It’s called Tahitian lemonade and you add full fat coconut milk. Yup, life changing.
I first had Tahitian lemonade in this cute little cafe on the island of Kauai. My first response-
“what is this magical drink?!”
my second response
“I must make this at home, more people need to know about it”
Enter, this recipe with a Sweet Lizzy twist (BLUE MAJIK addition = REAL MAGIC)
are you ready to give it a go? Read on friend.
Hi Friends!! Happy Thursday!
We are heading off to Hawaii for a wedding today and I couldn’t be more excited! I am talking sun, sand and hopefully some really awkward tan lines. coming. my. way.
We chose to stay at an airbnb which I love because being able to cook my own meals wins over relying on hotel food and eating out every time. I know that Maui will have GREAT food (I already booked us an organic farm tour and lunch) but I still want to be able to prepare my own food from time to time. I have a feeling this refreshing matcha basil limeade might make it into the Hawaii mix. Are you ready to give this a try?

Last year I started keeping a book list at the beginning of the year and I must say I really enjoyed it. I’m not in a book club and this was a way to keep myself accountable. I can find it hard to keep track of books I want to read and before I did my book list I would sometimes find myself going months without reading! For my list I have one rule – that most of the books have to be from my own bookshelf. You see, when we moved into our house we had a giant bookshelf that we filled with books from friends and family- many of them ones I haven’t read. The rest of the books I have chosen are ones that I have seen good reviews on, have been gifted to me, or recommended by someone. The books that I don’t have at home I will order at the Toronto Public Library (A fantastic resource for Torontonians!) or online.
