Sophie’s Healthy DIY Skinny Tea

By sophie | January 29, 2016

I have created my own version of a DIY skinny tea because I’m tired of seeing all the overblown claims of “skinny”, “detox” or “weight-loss” teas, which are just about everywhere at this time of year. At worst some of the claims are ridiculously inaccurate (like “lose 5 pounds in 5 days”), and at worst, […]

Sophie’s Better Skin Smoothie

By sophie | January 20, 2016

Is there a perfect smoothie for gorgeous skin? You bet there is! The trick to creating a smoothie for better skin is to pack it with skin-boosting vitamins. I also recommend keeping the dairy out (because a lot of skin issues clear up when you eliminate dairy).  The most important thing to consider when feeding […]

Vegan Apple Crisp Ice Cream

By sophie | January 20, 2016

  I do like ice cream – a LOT, but it really has to be healthy because otherwise it makes me feel terrible after eating it. Even vegan ice creams can leave me feeling a bit icky, especially if they are loaded with sugar and additives, so I prefer to make my own. This is […]
