Clean Eating Made Easy

Try this new and healthy recipe for a great snack! It's easy, fun and absolutely delicious. 

Enjoy! 

ngredients:

• 2 cups (200 g) Arrowhead Mills Old Fashion Oats
• 1/2 cup (70 g) dried cranberries, fruit juice sweetened
• 1/3 cup (50 g) raw cocoa nibs
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) coconut oil
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) honey
• 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup (200 g) raw, creamy almond butter

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, cranberries, cocoa nibs and cinnamon. Stir well.
2. In a small pot, combine the oil, honey, vanilla extract and almond butter over medium heat. You want to warm this enough to combine the liquids well. But DO NOT BOIL!  Stir constantly to avoid any simmering. This warmth is strictly to get everything to combine as well as to make it a bit more fluid for mixing with the oats.
3. Pour the nut butter into the mixing bowl and mix well to completely coat the oats.
4. Press mixture into an oiled or parchment lined baking dish. (Mine -pictured above- was 9 x 4 1/2)
5. Freeze for 2 hours.
6. Cut bars with a sharp knife and store in the freezer for up to 2 months, tightly wrapped so no air gets to them. Note that by the time lunch time comes around, these will no longer be frozen and will be perfect to eat. (These keep in the fridge for about a week.)

Inspiration + Quotes: It's The Little Things

Bits n' Pieces

It's that moment you captured perfectly with your camera, the scent of the sun, the feeling of a breeze, the morning light shining through the window, the fresh leaves on trees or the wind blowing through your hair; it's the little things. 

The little things in life are sometimes what matter the most, and what's missed the most. 

Saturday has brought on a fun collection of the bits n' pieces in life that we find big enough to inspire. Appreciate the simple things you love in your daily life! You will find that without them, things wouldn't be quite the same ;)

Basic Instinct

Less Is For The Best

The most basic silhouettes and monochromatic color schemes can make for an elegant look that captures more attention than today's wildest trends. 

Staying true to the basics of design and style adds a nice touch to your personal wardrobe and overall look. Keep hold of your white button down blouses, wide leg grey linen pants, and tailored neutral coats. They are the foundations to all looks completed.

Get inspired by these simple and chic looks to channel your inner minimalist :)
