I’m officially home– St. Helena, CA– WE HAVE ARRIVED!
After almost three years living on an island in the south of Brazil, I can only be grateful for all of the amazing experiences I had living abroad. Florianópolis was an amazing home to me, and even though it feels incredible to be back and see friends and family– I will always carry the love I have for Brazil in my heart wherever I go.
I took a break from posting for a while because my life was crazy trying to prepare for a wedding, moving countries and re-adjustment to the United States. However, I’ve discovered some great new sources for plant based living and extremely informative documentaries that have changed my world. I’m BACK and can’t wait to share all of my new ideas with all of you on how to maintain a healthy, holistic, and balanced lifestyle!
One of the biggest challenges since I’ve been back is creating BALANCE with all of these welcome back parties, wine nights and “Napa Style” cuisine that I love so much- but how the hell do you enjoy all of this amazing, tasty food being plant based? How am I really supposed to tell my aunt that I don’t eat CHEESE anymore? Let me tell you, it’s actually been pretty easy 🙂 There are always simple solutions and wonderful alternatives – and I’ve learned so much about myself in the process. The benefits are always worth it, because feeling good about how you treat your body is one of the greatest skills you could ever have.
