Photo Diary // A Walk in the Woods to a Waterfall

I love photography. It's so grounding to spend time observing and creating, through a lens; interacting with your world in a way that's witnessing and artistic all at once. Sitting down to blog my journey today, after a fresh meal, leaves me reflecting back at all the little moments. From making an incredible tea for my moon cycle, to having my feet in a cool, glacier fed river, the quaint, quiet moments of the day come alive, simply because I took the time to photograph them.

Here's to honouring the little things in your life this week!

A blend of Harmonic Arts' 'Women's Moon' and wildcrafted Fireweed + Pearly Everlasting, served as a warm reminder of how much I love the plant world

I spent the afternoon at a magical place called 'Nymph Falls' on Vancouver Island

Rushing water plays over mossy rocks

I love that the entirety of this photo is just running water

I had to pull over on the way to the falls to photograph these beautiful creatures

The way the sun beams through the forest top is incredible

Photo Diary // Loving my Calgary Connections

Hanging with flowers in an overgrown city park

The past week has been really fun, and also kind of full on. From launching an upcoming workshop, to a clothing swap with my soul sisters, to having an impromptu photoshoot in the park, I've been grateful to have such a rich life.

Although I'm still moving to Vancouver Island, and am just visiting Calgary for July, I've come to realize how much I love what this city offers me. The connections, community, sunny river days, and fun Kensington shopping trips are all a part of what I love about my hometown.

Sending so much love to you this weekend, and perhaps make time to reflect on what you've loved about your past few days!

I harvested lots of Yarrow this week which I'll be using for teas in the Flower Child line

Photo Diary // Food + Friends!

This week seemed to have been full of food upon looking back in pictures - Woohoo!!

It started off with a genius take on a cake using watermelon instead of flour, and continued at a friend's potluck with a raw nectarine cobbler. 

I also had the honour of attending my soul sisters' food tasting, for a mostly raw food truck they are starting up in the city of Calgary. I'm so proud of them and the impact they'll be having on the city - Look out for Yummi Yogis once it hits the streets - and of course I'll keep you updated!

Other than eating deliciously healthy food, I've also been busy shopping for crystals for my limited time offer of custom pieces. I love the process, and how it feels to see a finished piece in all it's beauty - I'm toying with the idea of accepting orders for just a few days 2-3 times a year. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!

Sending love to you all, and here's to a unexpectedly wonderful weekend!

Elementals is here!

The Waves of Fire Summer 2012 Collection has launched! I couldn't be more excited to unveil the moments captured as I and a group of girlfriends adventured through Tofino, on Canada's West Coast. 

The lifestyles album for Elementals is part story and part manual on how to use the elements (earth, air, fire and water) in your everyday life. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog post with more detail, but for now, please enjoy this sample of images from the line. To see it in full please visit my facebook page! All crystals are now available for purchase at www.wavesoffire.ca
