Pyjamas all day, please 😌 @arrowitforward rece Pyjamas all day, please 😌

@arrowitforward recently sent over some goodies for me to try, and I am hooked. 

Their candles and wax melts are made with soy and coconut wax in small batches with premium quality fragrance oils – and that’s it! The candles also use natural cotton wicks.

They all smell sooo good, but pyjama day candle might be my fav of the bunch. It smells like fresh bread. The entire household thought I had baked something when I was burning it. 😅🥖

Self-care looks different for everyone. While it’s so much more than just a relaxing bath, a deep soak is an important part of my process – it helps me disconnect and decompress at the end of each week.

I was #gifted these products to try out, but I think they’ll become a repeat purchase. The blend of stevia, thyme, cedarwood and bergamot essential oils is so relaxing. 

If you want to try out this new scent for yourself, you can find it at @shoppersdrugmart!

Did you know that most Canadians drink more coffee Did you know that most Canadians drink more coffee than any other beverage? I can’t function without a fresh cup in the morning, and I also usually have a cafe latte or a cup of decaf later in the day too, so this came as no surprise to me! ☕️

Unfortunately though, this does add lot of waste to our landfills. @preschoice recently launched sustainable packaging that is estimated to offset hundreds of metric tonnes of waste to our landfills per year – even if you’re not a coffee person, I think that’s something everyone will love! 🙌♻️

What’s your go-to brew?

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here! Every winter after the holidays I like to take a little break from content creation for a few weeks to rest and reset. 

This year’s break was a little longer than I had originally intended, but that’s ok. I was feeling a little overwhelmed and just needed a bit of extra time before diving back in. 💕

I have started to work quietly behind the scenes and am super excited about some things that are in the works for this year! I’m looking forward to creating content for you again, and I have some fun brand collabs and giveaways headed your way. In the meantime, here is an old photo because it’s cute and I’m still editing some of the new content 🙈🙈.

I was recently #gifted this phone case from Caseco. I’ve been using it for a little over a week and am truly impressed with the quality of it 🤩. It’s also eco-friendly and made from recycled material!

(P.S. if you’re in the market for a new phone case they also gave me a code for 15% off! It’s “Kaitlyn15”.)

I tried Evive Smoothies for the first time! – first impressions + a coupon code

If you know me, you know that I’m big on smoothies. I had seen some of Evive Nutrition’s products in my local grocery store before so I was really excited when they reached out to me and offered to send me a box of their products to try out. Spoiler alert: I’m in love. If you have a busy or active lifestyle, you’re going to love Evive too.

If you’re not familiar with them, Evive is a Canadian company, based in Montreal, that was founded in 2015. (You might have even seen them on Dragon’s Den!) They offer convenient, easy and nutritious smoothies that you can make with or without a blender.

Yes, you read that right – without a blender.

What makes Evive so unique?

Their frozen smoothies come in a wheel, with 8 individual cubes. You can use half the cubes for a small portion, or use the entire wheel for a individual regular portion. All of their products are vegan, have no sugar added and are gluten-free.

You can pop the frozen cubes and your liquid of choice directly into a blender and whip up your smoothie, or you can pop the cubes into a mason jar with and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes and simply add your liquid, screw on your lid and shake!

I’m a huge fan of the latter option for two reasons, first, I honestly hate cleaning blenders; and second, I’ve always had trouble with eating right away in the morning with my digestive issues, and would often skip breakfast all together because of this because I wouldn’t have time to go and make food until lunch time. With Evive, I can pop my cubes into a jar when I wake up and grab my morning coffee, go get dressed, start work for the day, and then when I’m ready for some food (usually around 9:30 – 10 a.m.) it’s as simple as grabbing my Evive jar and giving it a good shake.

The no-blender method makes it so easy and convent for days when you have to go into the office as well!

Where to find Evive products

You can find select flavours in most grocery stores, such as Superstore, Sobey’s, IGA, in the frozen food section. They sell them in bags of 3. For a full list of grocers that carry them, head to their website.

You can also shop the full product line directly on their website! If you like subscription boxes, they offer 3 different sizes and 4 different delivery options (ever 2,3,4,5 or 6 weeks) and you can skip or cancel at anytime.

If you want to try them out first before you commit, or gift a box to a friend, they also offer a gift-box option which includes a one-time shipment of 12 mixed smoothie flavours.

COUPON CODE: If you order directly from their website, you can use the code “misskait10” to get $10 off your first order!

Variety of flavours and options

I tried 12 out of the 14 flavours and honestly didn’t dislike any of them. I prepared them all using one of the suggested liquids, but you can use whatever liquid you prefer. Not only can you enjoy them as smoothies, but you can also doctor them to create smoothie bowls, sauces no-bake bars, and more! Their website and Instagram is filled with creative, easy recipe ideas.

If I had to pick, the following flavours would be my favourite of all the ones I tried (in no particular order).

Samourai – supports digestion, strengthens heart
Nutritional info: 78% organic, 6g protein, 8g fibre
Star ingredients: raspberry, beet, chia seeds, dates, dehydrated vegetable blend and pea protein

Azteque – energizing, antioxidant
Nutritional info: 6g fibre, 8g protein
Star ingredients: Pear, cocoa, goji berry, dates, shiitake mushrooms, dehydrated vegetable blend and pea protein
This one deserves a special shoutout – I made it with chocolate oat milk and it straight up tasted like a chocolate milkshake, my mind was blown.

Saphir – brain support,glowing skin
Nutritional info: 3g fibre, 6g protein
Star ingredients: pineapple, cauliflower, blue spirulina, baobab, pea protein, chia seeds and dehydrated vegetable blend

Pure – detoxifying, brain support
Nutritional info: 78% organic 4g fibre, 8g protein
Star ingredients: Avocado, matcha, ginger, mango, chia seeds, dehydrated vegetable blend and pea protein

Passion Mango – glowing skin, builds and repairs
Nutritional info: 7g fibre, 18 protein
Star ingredients: Mango, passionfruit, pumpkin, chia protein, lemon, baobab

So, are they worth the hype?

Short answer: Yes.

They’re super quick, insanely delicious and perfect for anyone who has a busy life.

I especially loved them because on days where I had more time and ate something else for breakfast or lunch when I found myself hungry in the middle of the afternoon and wanting a quick snack I would find myself opting to make a smoothie as opposed to reaching for whatever crap (usually candy or junk food) I could find in my house and binge-eating.

Overall, I found myself to have more energy, feel more alert and overall just sort of felt healthier while incorporating Evive into my regular routine. My skin was also glowing – it’s seriously looked the best it ever has and I think it helped control my breakouts. I’m also someone who suffers from chronic headaches and migraines, and I do think they helped a little bit with them as well. (Basically, even though I thought I ate pretty healthy before, I guess I need to eat healthier!)

We’ve already ordered another box!

I went back and forth between getting this sweater from @cavologybrand in the black & tan version to match Ruffi, or the tri version to honour our sweet girl Kodee (which is what I ended up doing!) – she always “helped” with wrapping by sitting on top of the paper whenever you tried to roll it out and loved to nap under the Christmas tree post present opening🎄.
