Hi friends! Many you know what a huge fan I am of drinking tea. I call myself a “tea-a-holic” and drink a variety of teas every day. That’s why I am so excited to have partnered up with Stash Tea! They make such incredible teas including their new line of Guayusa tea (perfect for boosting your energy levels without a crash), iced tea, green tea, and pu-erh tea. I will be bringing you some exclusive videos and articles all about tea, it’s history, and fun ways that we can include it in our diet.

Nutrition Webisode: My Favorite Healthy Snacks!

February 6, 2012 · Filed under eating, Feeling Good, foodie, Margaux, videos · Tagged , , , , , ,

I was addicted to snacking on unhealthy foods at night for many years. I would sit down on the couch with a big bag of chips or a box of processed crackers and mindlessly eat in front of the television. Fortunately, I became a Nutritional Therapist and learned about how harmful this type of eating can be to our bodies. Even though I have my snacking addiction under control, I still like to nibble of healthy treats now and again! Here are some of my favorite healthy snacks that I think you will love.

Taking a Break! My Trip to Leavenworth, WA

February 1, 2012 · Filed under Feeling Good, Margaux · Tagged , , , , ,

Even though I love my job and it really doesn’t seem like “work” to me, I felt like it was time for a little break! I have always loved snow (we don’t get much here in Portland) so we decided to head up to Leavenworth, WA! It was a winter wonderland there! The sun shined the entire time which made it even more beautiful. Here are some pictures from my trip.

Pumpkin Patch Paradise

October has to be one of my most favorite months. I love the weather, the beautiful leaves, and all of the pumpkins! I went to a local farm to find my pumpkins this year. I usually get 4-5 because I actually eat the pumpkin and the seeds! Check out my video on how to make a pumpkin smoothie. You will love it…it tastes just like a pumpkin pie!

This weekend, I spent some time shopping at the local Farmers Market! It was a beautiful fall day and I loved looking at all the delicious fresh produce from local growers. I made a fabulous salad that evening with mushrooms, fresh lettuce, carrots, beets, and radishes.

Hi guys! As you know, we are coming up on the 2nd year anniversary of Authentic Self Wellness. Thank you so much for making it a fabulous two years! As a way to show my appreciation, I have partnered up with The Chia Company, the world’s largest producer of natural, raw Chia seeds. The Chia Co farms are located in the pristine Kimberley region of Western Australia, exactly 15 degrees south of the equator. Growing Chia at this latitude provides the ideal conditions, maximizing the Omega 3 oil profile in every seed.

Chia is the richest plant based source of Omega 3, dietary fibre, protein and antioxidants. The seeds contain:

  • 37% Dietary Fibre
  • 20% Omega 3 ALA
  • 20% Protein
  • High in antioxidants (ORAC value of 10,000 vitamin E equivalents)
  • High in Vitamins and Minerals (Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium)

Chia is a gluten free Wholegrain, so it is perfect for those who are sensitive to gluten products.

If you want to try out chia seeds, be sure to enter the Chia Chicks Mystery Gift Giveaway! The Chia Co is giving facebook fans of Authentic Self Wellness prize packs loaded with cools stuff. All you have to do is become a fan of Authentic Self Wellness on Facebook, fill out the entry form on the Chia Chicks Mystery Gift page (it’s the little orange tab located under the main graphic), and you win!
