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}

April 18, 2015 by 8 Comments
Ayurveda. It’s no new topic to the pages of LPN. You might have heard about it before here, here, here and here (among a few other posts).

April 11, 2015 by 5 Comments
One of my all time favourite skincare lines is back with something FABULOUS. Annmarie Gianni is up to it again – creating beautiful things in skincare… but this time, it’s makeup. A liquid (or dry matte) foundation no less! I am such a huge fan of her line – I’ve called it the skincare line I would eat in a past post, and now with makeup as pure as her skincare, I can’t say I’m anything but one happy girl. {Read More}
