How do you begin to define what defines you? 

Over the years, as I transitioned from studying fashion, to a career in advertising, through healing from an incurable disease to dreaming up and then creating the most delightful world that encompasses my work, certain philosophies began to take shape and define not only who I am but every single thing that I do.

This goes beyond my philosophy of food and nutrition, though that is part of it.  I began to explore what true health meant.

For shiny and happy vibrant living, we need to understand that the way we live, think, act, interact and respond to the world that surrounds us is also going to impact our personal health as much as how we feed ourselves. 

This, my fair lovers, is my creed.

Love It So Much...

That I had it put on a bag. Check them here! 

Check my blog! We're breaking down the creed, line by line!

Today is the day. Make it ridiculously awesometown. Eat fruit, lots of cherries, while thinking good thoughts. Love what you do, and do it with love. Smile at strangers. Be youthful, truthful, playful and funful. Laugh at the ridiculousness of seriousness. Ride bicycles covered in flowers. Sit through the storms, for the sunshine and rainbows will follow. Eat real food. Flirt with farmers. Crunch on carrots. Labels are for tin cans. Make it from scratch.

And When It Comes To Food

Keep it whole, keep it natural, keep it clean, and keep it grown as close to home as much as possible. The food we eat, if we want it to work in our favour, should bypass any chemistry labs or processing factories.

Vegetarianism is fine, as is vegan, raw, fruitarian, meatarian, macrobiotic, ayurvedic, omnivore, herbivore and what have you- as long as the way you are eating and living works for you personally. In my humble opinion, I think labels are for tin cans, and the best way to eat is the way that works for our selves and our lifestyles. That is what health is all about.

• Make it from scratch when you can (that means avoiding the packaged version).
• Eat as locally and seasonally as possible (that saves moolah, the planet and the flavours).
• Upgrade what you already love (infuse chocolate pudding with avocado and slip some sweet potato into the brownies).
• If you hate it, don’t eat it (there are other vegetables besides Brussels sprouts and beets).
• Recipes should be about five steps or less until it’s time to eat (otherwise we’re getting gourmet and that’s just too much for everyday eating).
• Choose foods with both your health and taste-buds in mind (it’s a love affair we’re creating).
• Have fun (always. Laughing while you cook makes the food taste better).
• Make love in the kitchen (interpret however you see fit).
   

Speaking of lifestyles, it doesn’t end with food. Meghan also educates on the goodness of all natural cosmetics, body care, home care, exercise and everything else those goes along with a nourished life. 

If we stress too much about always eating exactly the right thing, well, that stress will do more harm than the bad food ever could!
