Sharing is Caring: A few of my favourites

Every morning, bright and early before 7am, after I stretch and prepare a cup of herbal tea - I'm currently hooked on an Ayurveda blend called 100% Mysteries -  I enjoy a protein rich breakfast, alongside some morning reading.

For those who know me well, I thrive on sharing knowledge and exchanging information, especially in the realm of health and wellness. I can talk about the power of chia seeds, and chia alone, for 30 minutes flat. No matter where I go, I always manage to make friends at my local health foods store and gravitate toward the nearest Lululemon (thus, my work place). I love connecting with likeminded individuals, who share a passion for healthy living, raw baking, sport nutrition, holistic beauty, and more. Moreover, I love connecting with fellow bloggers who fuel me with new inspiration, knowledge, and creative energy that brightens my time in the kitchen and/or everyday life.
And so, I want to share some of my favourite go-to blogs and online resources with you all! Because sharing is caring. This short, but sweet, list was not easy to compile. I have loads of blogs that I love, read, and stumble upon every day, so I naturally struggled to create a concise list of just ten.

10 Inspiring (and bookmark worthy) Blogs
  1. Oh She Glows
    I've had the pleasure to meet and dine with Angela on several occasions. She's full of positive energy and creativity, which shines through her tasty recipes and gorgeous food photography.

  2. Holistic Vanity
    Friend and co-owner of Pure+Simple spa (my home-away-from-home), Kristen Ma, is the queen of holistic beauty, detox tips, and Ayurveda inspired living. Kristen shares all this and more on her blog, Holistic Vanity. I always look forward to her posts and appreciate her honest and knowledgable advice. If you're unfamiliar with Pure+Simple products, I highly recommend you get acquainted with them!

  3. Joyous Health
    I met Joy a few weeks ago, when I was home in Toronto. We chatted non-stop about raw/vegan snacks, veggie restaurants, and whole food recipes. She shares loads of knowledge on her blog and personal website, Joyous Health, and leads regular workshops/demos for those in Toronto.

  4. Peas and Thank You
    I can't recall exactly when I started reading Sarah's blog, but I'm so glad I did! Her witty sense of humour and easy n' delicious recipes are both entertaining and worth while. Sarah recently published her first book - Peas and Thank You - which I purchased on pre-order! Woo-hoo another book for my kitchen library!

  5. Daily Garnish
    Author Emily is a culinary arts graduate who shares yummy vegetarian recipes. I always enjoy her personal stories, intertwined with healthy baked goods and dinner ideas.

  6. My New Roots
    Sarah Britton is a holistic nutritionist and vegetarian chef who writes on her blog My New Roots. Her photography is stunning and recipes are always paired with useful knowledge. I love her take on raw food and unique approach to whole food cooking.

  7. Crazy Sexy Life
    Stared by Kris Carr, Crazy Sexy Life is a mash-up of contributors who share inspirational content pertaining to diet, lifestyle, love, and more. While I enjoy some articles more than others, Crazy Sexy Life is definitely a part of my blog bookmarks.

  8. Fearlessly Floating
    My best friend and soul mate, Nadine, shares her award-worthy photography and personal journey on her blog, Fearlessly Floating. Her raw, honest, and heartfelt blog posts often leave me smiling or teary-eyed. You don't have to know her to fall in love with her positive approach to life and poetic writing style.

  9. Green Kitchen Stories
    Just look at the recipes...need I say more? Beautiful photography and fresh wholesome food, with an emphasis on local food..yup, bookmarked!

  10. That's Fit
    Powered by AOL, That's Fit is a consistent resource for health, fitness, and lifestyle content, written by both talented and credible contributors to boot!
And that's a wrap! I hope you enjoy and bookmark a few of favourites..and don't be afraid to share the love.
