-
I really feel that exercise is so important in my day to day life because it really just
-
makes me feel better and makes me feel energized and so I try my best to schedule it 3-4 times
-
a week.
-
No matter what.
-
You know I have a super busy schedule, but I'm quite known for multi tasking.
-
Quite often I'll do pilates with a face mask on.
-
Even if it's just for twenty minutes, I find that that is so much more worthwhile than
-
doing nothing at all.
-
One of the first things I like to do in the morning is having a grapefruit.
-
I just love the way they smell.
-
Ahh.
-
Smelling it really just even helps with my nausea, because I'm pregnant.
-
This little guy has been one of my best friends.
-
Cut it in half and eat it with a spoon.
-
A little bit of raw sugar on top or coconut sugar.
-
Ahh there you go again.
-
Now if I have a little bit more time and energy, I will cut it up into pieces.
-
It's full of vitamin c and fiber and it's great for you if you're pregnant or if you're not.
-
Mmm.
-
I like to have avocado toast on gluten free bread.
-
I generally put a little bit of ghee.
-
Ghee is a great alternative to butter.
-
And supposedly better for you.
-
Omega fatty acids, vitamin k and your short-chain triglycerides.
-
Avocado, as we know, is also a great source of healthy fat.
-
I love avocado.
-
I eat at least one a day.
-
Good fats are just so healthy for your body.
-
I add a little pink Himalayan sea salt.
-
Sometimes I'll put a little fresh lemon on top as well or a little olive oil if I'm feeling
-
like I want a little bit of extra good fats.
-
Yummy.
-
Mmm.
-
Today I've scheduled kundalini yoga with Onkar.
-
I really love Kundalini yoga.
-
I really see it as a complete mind body spirit exercise.
-
Kundalini yoga is the yoga of awareness.
-
Not only is it asana, which are postures.
-
It's also breath, mantra, meditation and relaxation.
-
So you get all of those things in one.
-
With Kundalini yoga, it sometimes can be so challenging with the repetition.
-
You know your arms get tired and it's like you wouldn't even think that it was a tiring
-
exercise but when you're doing this for a certain number of minutes, it really teaches
-
you that endurance and that stamina that you need to kind of get through, not just everyday
-
challenges, but like especially child birth.
-
It's like it's mind over matter.
-
You know our mind thinks that we can't keep going but you actually can and that's what
-
keeps you going in life.
-
When times get tough, you keep up.
-
It's just good to know that our mind is like the most powerful thing and one of the most
-
powerful tools and if we can, through Kundalini yoga, you can really learn to, I guess take
-
control of the mind.
-
Like through some of the techniques and meditations.
-
For me, it just feels really expansive.
-
Kundalini yoga feels expansive.
-
Today what we're going to do, is we're going to do a couple different postures and we're
-
going to do some cat cow.
-
We're going to do some downward dog.
-
So with downward dog, they say when are you not supposed to do downward dog anymore when
-
you're pregnant?
-
I feel that pre natal yoga, is all about how you feel in the moment, so what you may normally
-
are used to doing, it may not feel right for you to do.
-
This is my little Kora organics noni glow skin food supplement and I'm having this in
-
the middle of the day just to give myself a little extra energy boost.
-
It contains noni, blueberry, acai, pomegranate, green tea, rosehips, chlorella, mangosteen
-
and elderberry flower.
-
What I do, sometimes I have it in a smoothie.
-
Lately I've just been enjoying having it with water.
-
Shake it up.
-
And I've been drinking noni juice since I was thirteen.
-
It's the key to my vitality and energy levels.
-
It really has helped me so much in my life and I really believe in having noni internally
-
and externally and the benefits of doing so.
-
I absolutely love it and it's tasty.
-
Cheers!
-
Now it's time for a little shop.
-
Let me take you to the grocery store.
-
I'm going to take you guys to the local grocery store down the road, which I love going to.
-
Going grocery shopping to me is like so much fun.
-
Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved grocery shopping.
-
Seeing all the fresh produce.
-
I love going to the farmer's market as well.
-
So now I'm just picking some local organic avocados.
-
I like getting local and organic produce, because the quicker it goes from the farm
-
to the table, the more nutrients there is.
-
I love fresh radishes.
-
USDA organic.
-
Cilantro, organic.
-
Some parsley.
-
Oh, golden beets.
-
Oh, smells so good.
-
I love my grapefruit.
-
I love the smell of citrus.
-
I'm really gravitating towards that at the moment.
-
Organic pumpkin seeds here.
-
Almond.
-
Honey almonds.
-
I just love coming to the supermarket.
-
There's always something new to find.
-
Kale chips. Cool ranch. Mmm. Delicious.
-
Because I'm pregnant, I like to snack a lot.
-
Snacking regularly when I'm pregnant helps me feel less nauseous.
-
Little seaweed snacks.
-
I do like a good snack.
-
So I really love goat milk because it's easy to digest.
-
Cows have multiple stomachs and goats only have one and so you can absorb the calcium a lot better.
-
And I really just like the way it tastes.
-
It's delicious.
-
You know I always look for free range chicken as well.
-
You can really taste the difference.
-
So when I'm looking for eggs, I like that it's organic but I like it's free range.
-
Fresh farm eggs.
-
They're raised in the... out in the pasture.
-
Oof, my basket's getting heavy here guys.
-
Chocolate.
-
Ooh, this is a good old favorite.
-
Organic chocolate.
-
A little naughty but nice.
-
I mean, it's organic milk chocolate.
-
It does have sugar though but it is really tasty.
-
It's a little naughty.
-
Nom nom nom.
-
Alright, I think I got all I need.
-
See you later.
-
Ok so this is one of my favorite salads.
-
I like to use spinach and arugula.
-
There are so many more nutrients in spinach and arugula, and I finely chop it.
-
I love radish.
-
Cucumber.
-
Another one of my favorites.
-
Healthy, gives it that nice crunch.
-
Little green beans.
-
Little parsley.
-
I'm just going to mix that up a little before I add the avocado.
-
Fresh lemon.
-
You can make it on the side if you want or put it directly on the salad.
-
Little bit of apple cider vinegar.
-
Little amino acids, which is an alternative to soy sauce.
-
I don't really measure.
-
I just do it to taste.
-
Little olive oil.
-
Pink Himalayan sea salt.
-
Mix that together.
-
Mmm, yeah.
-
Just pour that on your salad.
-
Just mix that around.
-
You add your avocado last.
-
Yummy salad.
-
And now we're going to grill some chicken to put on top of that.
-
Half a chicken breast.
-
Put it in between parchment paper and then just lightly pound it.
-
Careful of your fingers.
-
Voila.
-
Add a little sea salt.
-
Once the pans hot, you then add your ghee.
-
Ooh listen to it sizzle.
-
It's quite thin, so it cooks quickly.
-
You just gotta be careful.
-
Sometimes the ghee, like, spits at you.
-
So you just got to watch out.
-
Cook at your own risk.
-
So I get to eat my lunch now.
-
So as you can see, I just put the salad on top of the chicken.
-
It's really simple, really easy.
-
I made this delicious drink, which is fresh lemon with a little mint and a little ginger with sparkling water.
-
It's really refreshing.
-
Sorry guys, yours is next.
-
I love food.
