I love a good holiday gift guide as much as the next person, so I’ve decided to make one featuring businesses I adore in our local food, yoga & wine community. Of course, none of these are sponsored endorsements- they’re just products I’ve bought myself & truly back. Plus, they’re made by good people with good values.

Breathing is such an essential part of life but when was the last time you checked in on your breath? This simple task of checking in on your breath has a profound impact on your wellbeing and is a fundamental part of any yoga practice. The attention given to inhales and exhales, or conscious breathing has been shown to activate regions in the brain linked to emotion, attention, and body awareness, and could be the reason why conscious breathing can improve attention as well as regulate the nervous system.

Nourishment comes in many forms. Through food, hydration, movement, love, connection, study and more. When we spend time nourishing a part of the self, we give it attention and care to allow growth, development. Often in life we get our nourishment wrong, we prioritise achievement, completion and perceived success over quality connectedness.

The first time I had this recipe, I ate 4 pieces and immediately found Ash to tell her it was life changing. As someone who usually makes her cheesecake with a kg of cream cheese, I didn’t understand how Ash could make a cheesecake sooo delicious out of raw, plant-based ingredients.

My love for pumpkin pie is deep rooted in tradition and memories. Each November ‘Turkey Day’, my mom’s side of the family gathers in my parent’s kitchen and tend to their Thanksgiving dish duties with the sound of football in the background.
