What Is Sound Therapy?

Imagine you’re driving home down US1 at rush hour after you’ve had a bad day. Traffic is at a standstill, and you’re assaulted by a cacophony of honks.

You hum to yourself a bit, but then the chorus hits.

Celebrating the End of Summer with Mango Sticky Rice

One of my favorite things about summer is mangos. Living in Miami, I’m lucky to have access to a variety of mangos. My in-laws have at least three different types of mango trees in their backyard.

Coming back from Costa Rica has really made me appreciate a lot about my life in Miami: my store, my family, paved roads for rollerskating, and really good vegan restaurants. Of course, I maintained my plant-based lifestyle in Costa Rica. And during my time in Costa Rica, I pretty much ate what I normally do here in Miami. But vegan food in Miami has one thing that it doesn’t in Costa Rica: variety.

Meadow’s Guide To Saging

If you’ve ever been to a farmer’s market or scrolled through the depths of Pinterest’s yoga community, I’m sure you’ve seen someone waving around a smoking bundle of burning flowers and sticks. And I’m sure you stopped and wondered, “What is that?” and “What are they doing?”

How to Make a Healthy Snickers

I’ve always had a sweet tooth. There’s just something about finishing a meal with a touch of sweetness that seems right. But like many of my other dessert-lovers out there, I know that having a sweet tooth can be a little dangerous, especially if you’re trying to drop a few pounds or just improve your health.
