I love meals like this because it proves how easy I love meals like this because it proves how easy and stress-free cooking can be! I just grabbed what I had on hand and it turned out so bomb 🤤 

Here’s what I came up with:

—Roasted veggies. I used cauliflower, broccoli, butternut squash, and yellow bell pepper. I tossed the veg in @getgraza olive oil, sea salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 min stirring once halfway thru.

—Cajun Chick’n from @daringfoods SO insanely delicious and was ready in 5 minutes. Like I can’t stress how tasty this vegan chick’n is.

—Chickpea pasta @eatbanza Kept it super simple and just stirred in a cube of vegan butter. So yummy and has a good amount of protein.

—Arugula salad. I tossed arugula with a splash of @getgraza olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper. It added suchhh a nice flavor.

Who wants a vegan burrito 🌯 These grilled bur Who wants a vegan burrito 🌯 

These grilled burritos are insane. Truly. They’re packed with the following ultra wholesome ingredients:

—vegan beef from @abbotsbutcher seasoned with @sietefoods taco seasoning
—cauliflower rice (cooked w avo oil, paprika, and garlic)
—refried beans from @sietefoods 
—pico de gallo
—cilantro lime guac
—crisp romaine
—charred fajita veggies (bell peppers & zucchini)

Load the ingredients into a burrito, roll, and grill or pan fry.

I learned how to roll burritos after countless years studying the chipotle workers. Now I’ve got it DOWN and tbh will be enjoying homemade burritos from now on!!

8 Dry Skin Treatments I Swear By

This post is all about dry skin treatments.

If you have predominantly dry skin or live in a dry climate, this post is for you! I have compiled my top 8 dry skin treatments I SWEAR by. 

I have suffered from dry skin and eczema my entire life – after years of trial and error, I have come up with a list of my favorite products and tips that keep my skin in check.

This post will cover dry skin treatments for your face and body as well as preventative measures you can take to ensure your skin is properly hydrated.

1. Use a reliable body cream.

You should be using body cream every time you get out of the shower. The best body creams for dry skin aren’t necessarily the most expensive – I love Gold Bond’s Eczema Relief and it’s only $9! The four products below are ones I’ve personally tested and have worked for me.

anthropologie Mer-Sea & Co. Body Cream
$24Mer-Sea & Co. Body Cream
(Anthropologie)
glossier Body Hero Daily Perfecting Cream
$22Body Hero Daily Perfecting Cream
(Glossier)
walgreens Gold Bond Eczema Relief
$9.50Gold Bond Eczema Relief
(Walgreens)
drunk elephant body lotion
$20Drunk Elephant Body Lotion
(Sephora)

2. Use a separate cream just for your hands and feet.

Your hands, feet, ankles, and elbow tend to be the driest parts of your body and need special care and attention. Carry hand cream in your bag and apply it after you wash your hands.

sephora Nècessaire Hand Cream
$20Nècessaire Hand Cream
(Sephora)
sephora ouai hand cream
$24Ouai Hand Cream
(Sephora)
anthropologie kai hand cream
$21Kai Hand Cream
(Anthropologie)
ulta Truly Unicorn CBD Whipped Body Butter
$35Truly Unicorn CBD Whipped Body Butter
(Ulta)

3. Invest in night cream.

Using a thicker night cream before bed will keep your skin hydrated throughout the night. If you sleep with the AC running or a window open this is a must. During the dry winter months, I use night cream most mornings, too.

peach and lily lagom deep moisture cream
$36Lagom Deep Moisture Cream

glossier priming moisturizer

(Glossier)
sephora Youth to the People Deep Moisture Cream
$58Youth to the People Deep Moisture Cream
(Sephora)
sephora fresh night recovery
$52Fresh Super Lotus Night Recovery
(Sephora)

4. Exfoliate weekly.

Bacteria builds up in our pores quickly and if we don’t exfoliate our skin on a regular basis, we are left with clogged pores and built up dead skin cells. I find using a dry brush every other day and a body scrub in the shower once a week works wonders – do a bit of trial and error to find your sweet spot as everyone is different.

revolve Herbivore Coco Rose Body Polish
$36Herbivore Coco Rose Body Polish
(Revolve)
sephora Nécessaire Body Exfoliator
$30Nécessaire Body Exfoliator
(Sephora)

5. Change with the seasons.

With new seasons come new needs for your skin. During the dry winter months, you need specific creams that provide extra hydration. Summer months aren’t as dry, so there’s not a need for using thick heavy creams everyday. Here are some lightweight products to use in the warmer months:

peach and lily may coop moisturizer
$40May Coop Raw Moisturizer
(Peach & Lily)
peach and lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream
$40Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream
(Peach & Lily)
revolve Summer Fridays Oil-Free Gel Cream
$42Summer Fridays Oil-Free Gel Cream
(Revolve)
anthropologie Pixi Rose Face Oil
$24Pixi Rose Face Oil
(Anthropologie)

6. Use hydration masks (especially when traveling!)

Traveling is rough for those of us with dry skin. Drinking plenty of water throughout the flight and using a hydration mask during and after the flight are musts. During cold winter months, you should be using a hydration mask at least once a week.

peach and lily Overnight Star Sleeping Mask
$43Overnight Star Sleeping Mask
(Peach & Lily)
anthropologie lapcos sheet mask
$12.50Lapcos Sheet Mask
(Anthropologie)
sephora Saturday Skin Yuzu Sleep Mask
$29Saturday Skin Yuzu Sleep Mask
(Sephora)
sephora Laniege Lavender Sleeping Mask
$25Laniege Lavender Sleeping Mask
(Sephora)

7. Don’t neglect your lips

Dry skin doesn’t just affect your skin, it affects your lips too. A combo of a lip scrub and balm (in addition to drinking water) are key to having smooth, unchapped lips.

anthropologie French Girl Rose Lip Polish
$18French Girl Rose Lip Polish
(Anthropologie)
glossier balm dotcom
$12Balm Dotcom
(Glossier)
sephora Fenty Beauty Scrubstick
$16Fenty Beauty Scrubstick
(Sephora)
sephora Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
$22Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
(Sephora)

8. Maintain a Healthy Gut

If you have an unhealthy gut, it almost always shows up on your skin. Gut health not only affects your complexion, it affects your immune system, digestion, heart health, mood, and even brain function. If you suffer from eczema, try cutting out as many processed foods as you can and introducing a pre and probiotic. Probiotics add healthy bacteria to your gut, and prebiotics feed the healthy bacteria.

Some of my favorite pre and probiotics include:

Daily Probiotic + Prebiotic Supplement seed
$49Daily Probiotic + Prebiotic Supplement
(Seed)
Genuine Health Probiotic amazon
$59Genuine Health Probiotic
(Amazon)
sephora Hum Nutrition Prebiotic
$40Hum Nutrition Prebiotic
(Sephora)
sephora sakara probiotic
$46Sakara Probiotic
(Sephora)

The crunchy tamari tofu is the star - chop 1/2 block of high protein tofu into cubes and toss in 1 tbsp avocado oil, 2 tbsp tamari, and 2 tbsp corn starch. Air fry until crispy! 

Pair it with warm quinoa, crisp shredded romaine, refreshing cucumber and avocado, black sesame seeds, and flavorful spicy mayo. I use @primalkitchenfoods vegan mayo and any sriacha. To dieee for.
