Pulled myself out of bed for a morning yoga class despite the rain ☔ Stocked up on fresh veg on the way home, prepped meals for the next two days, had a leisurely brunch and now time for a movie marathon for the afternoon 🎥🎬😍 #sundaywellspent #sunday #yoga #mealprep #brunch #weekendvibes #vancouver #vancity #ayurveda #basicbalancewellness

Surprise delivery of flowers and an organic hamper today for my birthday 😍💚💐🎉 Also, I've been thinking of buying a bigger desk for work as my current one is too cramped. I even mentioned it to my other half the other day we should keep an eye out for one. Then today I find the perfect one going free in my apartment building 👌😉🌌🖥 #believeyoudeserveitandtheunibersewillserveit #universe #thankyou #birthday #presents #flowers #organic #goodday #basicbalancewellness

After much anticipation, my @plumpaper 2018 personalised planner arrived, right on time for the New Year 🎉🙌💚 * I love a good planner, but usually get a simple, budget friendly one each year! This year, I went all out and got the exact one I wanted as a Christmas present from my other half 💕 * I added in extra gratitude pages and I was also kindly gifted a free "Be Brilliant" notebook which I will use for my new year #morningpages 📝 * Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2018 🙏 * Rebecca 💚💚💚 * #plumpaperplanner #winplumpaper #basicbalancewellness #ayurveda #planner #2018 #newyear @ Kitsilano Beach

After feeling under the weather most of the week, I felt like just sitting on the couch for the evening. I managed to drag myself out the door for my last chance at a yoga class before traveling for Christmas, only to arrive and realise I read the timetable wrong, missed the class and got completely soaked in the rain on the way home too 🤔☔🌧🙈 On the upside, this may be the perfect excuse to watch my first Christmas movie 😂🎄🎅🎥 #fail #notmyday #basicbalancewellness

Over the weekend, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with a busy December ahead🙈 * Instead of getting worked up or losing my cool (which would have been very typical in the past!), I made some simple spiced milk, wrote a list of everything I had to do and when I would do it! ☑ * 30 minutes well spent, and I felt much more relaxed after I had a plan to make the rest of the month more manageable! 🎉 * The next time you feel stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, take some time out for yourself and think about the situation with a new perspective!🙏 * Milk drink: almond milked heated with fresh ginger and added TSP raw honey and pinch nutmeg 👌 * #basicbalancewellness #basicbalancereboot #ayurveda #selfcare #planning #milkdrink #ginger #nutmeg #stressrelief #december

Fall and winter are the seasons of deficiency and depletion. It's time to build strength and focus on immunity! * This DIY Rejuvenate Milk Drink is part of my four week self care programme - The Basic Balance Reboot. * The ingredients are most likely already in your cupboard, or you can get them easily in the supermarket! * Enjoy 1-2 hours before bed. Trouble sleeping? Add a pinch of nutmeg! * Ingredients: 1 cup almond or coconut milk ½ tsp ghee ½ tsp turmeric Pinch cardamom Pinch cinnamon 1 tsp honey OR maple syrup OR 1 chopped/pitted medjool date * Method: Most recipes call for a sweetener and dates, but this is too sweet for me! I suggest choosing just - honey, maple syrup OR one chopped/pitted medjool date Add all ingredients (except honey if this is your sweetener of choice) to a pot and whisk to combine Heat on the stove for about 5 minutes until warm Pour into a mug and stir in a little honey or maple syrup * For more details and to sign up for the Basic Balance Reboot, check out link below👌 * http://www.basicbalancewellness.com/p/book-appointment.html#.WiRaxbYZPjA * #basicbalancewellness #basicbalancereboot #ayurveda #selfcare #rejuvenation #milkdrink #ojas #rasayana #treatyoself #onlinebusiness #worldwide #holistichealth

After a week study break, I'm back to the books this evening 📚 I'm now in week 9 of advanced Ayurvedic digestion and nutrition training ✔ This week, enzyme deficiencies 🤓 #ayurveda #digestion #nutrition #eternalstudent #basicbalancewellness

I'm thinking of lots of 2018 goals this week. When I moved into my new apartment, I spent some time setting up my new workspace which I love. However, a full week at a desk is a slow form of torture for me, so many days I had to move to a standing desk just out of discomfort. As you can see, it is very basic - an empty kettle box and a few books in my kitchen cupboard 😂 it's definitely not glamorous, but it seems to work! In 2018, I might try make a more permeant fixture, or at least spruce it up a bit 🙈 #homeoffice #standingdesk #basic #workfromhome #onlinebusiness #basicbalancewellness
