This is an original post I wrote for MindBodyGreen, and I thought in case you missed it, I’d also share it here. I love the idea of a bright and white smile, but not just for cosmetic reasons: Healthy teeth and gums are indicative of our wellbeing. Our mouths are often referred to as the window into our overall health. Many diseases can be prevented through proper oral care (namely by brushing and flossing daily). Until recently, I’d always believed {Read More}

February 28, 2016 by 3 Comments
Spring is on its way, but the weather is still cold enough up here to warrant a few skin faves that are good for those dry skin blues and transition temperatures. This month’s faves is a lot on skincare, but I’ve also tucked in one fave for the spirit. Here’s what I’m loving this February: Living Libations Cell Serum & Dew Dab Living Libations is a seriously cool brand. I came across them when I was traveling home for Christmas {Read More}
Naturally Boost Your Immunity – Guest Post with Leela Yoga Co-Founder Kelsi
February 5, 2016 by 2 Comments
It’s that time of year – that awkward in between stage when the weather isn’t sure if its spring or winter. While being “in between” can be a little uncomfortable, there are things we can do to make things a little easier (think growing out bangs + bobby pins). ;) One of my favourite people on this planet is back again (you might remember her from Holiday Gifts for the Yogi post back in December) – Kelsi. Not only is {Read More}

Spiritual Beauty – The Latest Trends in Natural Beauty
January 10, 2016 by 1 Comment
Spirituality: A slightly unorthodox topic for a wellness and natural beauty blog, no? But hear me out. We are all energy and within that energy comes power – and that, my dears, is related to quantum physics (have a read of Deepak Chopra’s Ageless Body Timeless Mind to get the drift of what I mean here). Energy can be maneuvered around the body, and used as a ways to heal the body; age related skin damage included. While we may {Read More}

Like every year, the holidays have come and are on their way out… but before you spin on your heels and head into the New Year, take these next few days and find some time for you. Make a point of taking a bit of time (whether it’s 30 minutes in the evening or taking the whole day off work one day this week) to just be with yourself and treat your mind, body and spirit with care. We often {Read More}

November 21, 2015 by 5 Comments
Fa la la la la…. <3 Hard to believe but it’s (almost) (already) that time of year. To kick things off to festive start, I thought I’d start off by publishing LPN’s First Holiday Gift Guide of 2015. Given that fragrance and perfumes are such common (toxic) gifts during the holidays, it only made sense to start here this year: your healthy alternative to beautiful fragrance, naturally. Find below a selection of some of my favourites (some you may have seen {Read More}
Cover Up, Naturally! LPN’s Pick on the Best Natural Concealers
November 7, 2015 by 11 Comments
A few weeks ago I received an email from a LPN reader asking for help. Funnily enough, she was facing the same product conundrum I had been facing for a long time: what is the best natural under eye concealer?! As an NBB (natural beauty blogger), I’ve had my fair share of product trials – and when it has come to concealer, I have been hunting high and low for the most effective product (that’s not even all of them pictured {Read More}
LPN’s iHerb Shopping Cart – My Fave Natural Beauty & Wellness Buys
October 31, 2015 by 10 Comments
I get a lot of questions about what products I use, foods I eat and beauty tips I use for my day-to-day life. This morning I was filling out an iHerb Order, and I thought to myself, it would be a good basis for a post – that is, just to share with you what I’m buying on this cloudy Hallowe’en Saturday in a chilly northern town. So, that’s just what I’ll do. Today’s post is a simple sharing of my shopping {Read More}
La Clairière Bio Spa & Hotel: A Review on a Beautiful Spa Rooted in Natural Luxe
October 18, 2015 by 6 Comments
Do you remember how last week I was talking about the universe giving you what you need when you need it? Well, it did it again. After finding out that I needed to move in one of the busiest times of the year, having a promising romance come to a close (funny how I end up in these beautiful places when it’s time to reflect on love), and mediating a great deal of changes related to work, last weekend I was {Read More}
How to De-stress Naturally – LPN’s Top 6 Stress Relief Tips
October 4, 2015 by 1 Comment
I’m not sure what it is, but with every autumn comes transitions. Transitions towards longer workdays, less sleep and maybe even more broad life changes. I also find that during this time of year we try “to do it all” – for me that might mean getting to my yoga classes, maintaining some form of a social life, avoiding the seasonal cold or working on LPN when I can find the time. Now don’t mistake this for complaining; I feel very {Read More}
LPN’s Gluten Free & Vegan Chia Energy Biscuits
September 4, 2015 by 1 Comment
This week I’ll be hoping on a 17 hour flight. I love to travel, but I don’t love airplane food and I don’t love what long haul flights do to my skin- that is, my unprepared skin. When I travel one of the most important parts of my packing is food for the flight (along side a series of oils, creams and travel-sized spritzers). Whether it’s snacks and full meals, I plan ahead to ensure that I’m feeling nourished and {Read More}
