2023's Must-Read Books.
I believe that knowledge is power, and books are magic. Are you looking for some great reads for this new year? I’ve compiled a booklist of my own and my community’s must-reads.
A year of slow living.
One of the biggest lessons for me last year was allowing myself to slow down. Really slow down, so my spirit could rest and recharge. Making space to get back into alignment with who I am and what makes me happy.
Vanilla and reishi marshmallows.
Add to your hot cacao, your coffee, your desserts or eat them as a treat. Play around with different flavors; cinnamon, maple, pumpkin spice, orange, rum, chocolate, etc.
The best coffee bites.
When it comes to coffee, I like (almost) everything about it. The smell, the ritual, the taste. When I go to bed at night I’m already excited about my cup of coffee in the morning.

Things I’m loving right now.
I’m really enjoying the smell of cinnamon coming from the oven. And pancakes, covered in ghee and maple syrup. And homemade granola with pumpkin spice.
