This my 9-yeqr-old, the “little” one in the family. You see her as she is enjoying her second homemade (by her) açaí breakfast bowl, and she is loving it! Don’t take me wrong though, she didn’t want to have anything to do with açaí bowls for as long as I have been eating them. She always refused to eat them, sticking to her breakfast staples and telling me that she didn’t like them. Then on yesterday, as I was preparing mine, she asked if she could make one too! 🎉 Of course I said yes and she worked on it with a passion, looking for things she could add to her bowl and asking questions about food pairing and healthy choices. Today, she made another one... 👏🏼👏🏼 The reason I am telling you this, is that as parents, I believe we are pretty much all they see and what they believe is the right way in life. Eventually, kids will mimic us, so it is our duty to open their mind and make sure they embrace the best in life. My oldest child was always easy to feed and ate everything I was giving her (she still does) The youngest one (pictured) was not as easy, but we always followed some “guidelines” when it came to food and eating habits, and they always eventually paid off (açaí bowl is an example). Here is what we did and still do: 🌱 there is no age discrimination in our house when it comes to food, no “adult” food or “kids” food. There is only food. So if the flavors are strong or spicy, it doesn’t matter, you are allowed to eat anything, and if you don’t like it, that’s totally fine too, you can skip it, but not before trying. 🌱 we cook one meal for the whole family, not something different for each member. 🌱 we try to cook together, and we enjoy every step. We chop, we sauté, we smell and taste the ingredients, we bake, etc... we try to make everything from scratch and use processed food as little as we can. We minimize waste too by eating leftovers 🌱 we try any food from any ethnicity and we love it! We have to since we travel so much! 🌱 if we don’t like something, we will try again another time. We know there are some acquired tastes so we will give it another shot later... (To be continued in the comments 👇🏼)

Sand lines my soul which is filled with the breath of the ocean... 🌊

Good morning! It’s Friday! Do you get that feeling?!!! 💃🏼 What are your plans for the weekend? Have a great one beautiful humans! Breakfast bowl: Açaí purée Toasted coconut granola Coconut yogurt Almond butter Blueberries Blackberries Coconut flakes Cocoa nibs Banana chips

Because nutritious meals don’t have to be complicated really. For this lunch, I just grabbed a corn tostada (any kind of bread will do. Tortillas, corn or flour, will work fine as well). Mash some very ripe avocados Add lime juice Add garlic powder Salt Pepper Spread mixture on bread base Add cut up cherry tomatoes on top Sprinkle a pinch of Cayenne pepper Top with cilantro (if you like it) That’s it! 🥑 🍅 🌽 🍋 Inspired by @san.drine.lo whose avocado toast for lunch yesterday ignited my craving for one. Had some avocados that were going very very soft and decided to use them up for this! 🥑 🥑

Do you feel the rain, or do you just get wet? 🌧

Buddha was asked. “What have you gained from meditation?” He replied “nothing! However, let me tell you what I have lost: anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old age and death.” ✌🏼 Peace my friends, and have a wonderful weekend! 🧘🏼‍♀️

As you know, we learn something new everyday. If you watched my stories, you’ll see I learned something new (and useful!) today that most people who drive a car probably knew... (but I didn’t...) And this week, I also took my first piano lesson ever! I have always wanted to learn and I have been told I have the right hands for it, but I never took the time to do it or even considered it an option (funny how we put up barriers in our lives without realizing it). Then one day, a couple of weeks ago, while I was listening to my daughter practicing her piano (and enjoying it), it just hit me! I texted her piano teacher the next day and got myself booked for my first lesson! Et voilà! 🎼 🎹 Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn but never took the time and the opportunity to do? Let me know in the comments please 👇🏼 My next (planned) learning experience will be surfing. I have always wanted to do it as well but never had the guts... (waiting for warmer temperatures though... stay tuned...). YOLO! Right??? “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever” - Mahatma Gandhi

After a much needed hiatus from social media during the Holidays, I am finally back to sharing with you little squares of my life. I wish you all and yours a peaceful and enlightened new year and I am looking forward to getting to know you better through your visuals and writings on Instagram! I am not a big fan of new year resolutions as I personally believe that self improvement and self-enrichment (intellectually and spiritually speaking) should be a life-long process, so you won’t see any major changes in my lifestyle via this platform and my blog this year. I am still planning on continuing to make small changes and taking steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle and reducing our impact on this beautiful planet we call home. 🌎 I am also still planning on sharing a lot of healthy and yummy homemade recipes with you, but also revealing a little more about myself and my family. Stay tuned for more Insta stories, for a little more content on the blog that I hope will inspire you, as well as some positive vibes via ideas and concept that inspire me. If you have made it that far reading this caption, you might be relieved to find out about this delicious vegan rainbow wrap 🌈 that I made for lunch today... 😆 Easy to make and super healthy and nutritious (should I say much needed after the Holiday binge?...) 😅 Enjoy! 🌱 tortilla 🌱 roasted sweet potato 🌱 roasted yellow bell pepper 🌱 baby spinach leaves 🌱 beets 🌱 chickpeas 🌱 curried hummus (recipe coming soon but you can also add some curry powder to regular hummus) 🌱 mint leaves 🌱 dash of olive oil Spread some hummus on the tortilla, add all the other ingredients on top of it. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Wrap (see how to wrap a tortilla in my stories and Highlights) and enjoy!

Happy 2019 to all of you!

And then the sun melted into the ocean... 💕

Stop caring so much about the destination, and simply enjoy the journey...
