Sparkle #138: Yoga Cards for Women

Happy Monday people! It is the beginning of the week, which means it’s time to share something inspirational on the blog. I practice Yoga daily, and even though it has been 4 lovely years, I know I still have a long way to go before I can call myself a Yogi in the true sense of the word. Over the last few years, I have seen a change in my body structure, eating and lifestyle habits. My current practice is focused more on improving flexibility and mindfulness.

Sparkle #134: Top Overnight Oatmeal Recipes

Update: I made the Mocha overnight oats recipe for my breakfast the day after this post and am so excited to tell you all that it tastes exactly like dessert! The tweaks I made – I added cold coffee (instant coffee powder and honey added to cold milk), dark chocolate powder, walnuts, chia seeds and flax seeds to my oats and let them stay overnight.

Sparkle #114: Healthy Living Illustrations

Happy Monday lovelies! This week on the blog we are celebrating illustration art, which means I will be sharing some of my favorite illustrations from different categories with you through the week. I have always been obsessed with good art and design, and illustrations are a personal favorite. Illustration art accompanies some form of text and is used to provide a visual aid to whatever you are reading. Collecting illustrated artwork from older books and magazines is an interesting hobby, and has been gaining popularity in recent times. I personally feel that illustrations are charming, whimsical and artistic at the same time. Older illustrations remind me of…

Sparkle #94: Monday Motivations

Happy Monday folks! Another week, another month and another chance at getting it right! It’s the middle of 2015, which makes it a good time to take stock of our January resolutions and the progress we have made on them. As always, I made plenty of resolutions for myself, but have been pretty bad at keeping up with most of them. I am looking forward to July for making a fresh start on two of my key priority areas for 2015: losing weight and being positive! Below are two inspirational thoughts which have motivated me to get back on track, or at least put some more thought into how I intend to work…
