We spend one-third of our lives sleeping. You know what this means, right? This means we spend more time between the sheets and laying on our mattress than we do in any single pair of jeans, sweats, sneakers, hoodies, or party dresses. More than we spend lying on the couch, at work or driving in... The post Natural Bedding and Linens Guide for Truly Sweet Dreams appeared first on Meghan Telpner ..read more

Do you ever feel kind of tight and contracted, like the littlest thing can cause you to spring up (or lash out) for no real reason at all? Or that you are overreacting to things that should be no big deal, and even as you’re reacting, you know you’re being dramatic about it? Why am...

Several weeks ago, I received a text from a friend asking me if I’d heard of a product called ‘NotMilk’ – and what I thought about it. I’m always happy to share my opinion on packaged foods and as many of you know, I’m not shy about it! And so, I thought it was time...

Some call it celeriac, I call it celery root (because I’m not that fancy), and no joke this ugly, gnarly root is one of my absolute favourite fall vegetables. Now it’s been said that celery will always be the last vegetable standing on a veggie platter, and it may be true, but please don’t let...

I laugh at the days when I thought I was busy. I used to write about self-care in the chaos, would Instagram my hour-long sauna/home spa routine and preached the magic of skin brushing. While I continue to stand behind these recommendations, I don’t have the time for a lot of what I used to do....

Pumpkin recipes abound this time of year. I’ve put up a few myself. So many of them call for pumpkin puree and most of us then hop over to the store and buy a can of pumpkin. But see, pumpkin doesn’t grow in cans. It grows from the ground and grows a-plenty locally and it really isn’t that much trouble to do the right thing by your pumpkin and make your own pumpkin puree from scratch.

It’s going to get chilly out there soon, friends.
