Merry Christmas yogis! Made the best brunch for my family this morning and had to share. It was one of those perfect mornings. Yummy tasty holiday-inspired french toast, vegan apple sausage, green juice and coconut chai. Believe it or not, this was all before we opened presents. Now that my boys are teenagers, everything is different. They SLEPT IN until after 10am. Which when I think back to when they were little, it’s sort of hard to fathom.

This recipe comes from the back of the So Delicious coconut milk eggnog carton. So I can’t take much credit for it, but it’s so awesome…it’s worth a post on Christmas day. The prep could not be easier. Blend banana, eggnog, spices and vanilla and pour into a pie plate.

SWEET POTATO JUICE??? Wah??? Um, yes! It’s awesome.

Got this idea today after yoga class. My friend Mayra and I were talking about juicing. (This is a typical post-yoga class conversation, btw.) I mentioned that as it has been getting colder, I mostly want to juice carrots. They seem more warming to me; because of their color, because they are a root vegetable and because they go really well with ginger.

Mayra told me about her friend or maybe her sister or maybe her sister’s friend who combines carrots, sweet potato and ginger for her cold weather juicing. SWEET POTATO???? Wah??? How cool! So I immediately went home to try it.

FYG DIY…made with ❤

Heart-made gifts are my absolute very favorite. I have every pinch pot my boys ever made. Every ornament made out of popsicle sticks. Every picture frame made out of popsicle sticks, too, come to think of it. I live for this kind of thing. So when the holidays roll around, I like to make a little something special for friends and/or family that comes from my heart.

This year, I was inspired by a few diy crafts at the Toyota booth (yes, I’m giving them a shout out…we are a two Prius family) at Wanderlust in Austin about a month ago. They had tables where you made your own mat spray and body scrub. I also threw together some bath salt, which is ridiculously easy.
