I’ve been exploring healthy restaurants recently. Found this yummy smoothie @rawandroxy. Where are your favourite places to hunt healthy meals on the run? Although nothing beats a home cooked meal it’s always great to know you don’t have to make an unhealthy choice when out and about. 🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #healthyeating #plantbased #capetown #thetrufflejournal #foodphotography #foodvsco #foodblog #cleaneating #smoothie

Meditation. It comes in many forms. Missing the adventure today but also loving having the time to go through my images so I can share them on blog with you guys! This picture was taken the day of the earthquake in Gili T off the coast of Lombok. It feels like a lifetime ago. 🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #dametraveler #bali #baliindonesia #balibible #gilitrawangan #girlsborntotravel #sheisnotlost #bestinbali #instagood #travel #travelblog #thetrufflejournal

Inhale compassion. Exhale forgiveness. Inhale compassion. Exhale forgiveness. Where can you soften today on this beautiful full moon? Did you know that it’s the biggest super moon of the year? The sunset preceding its arrival was pretty spectacular too and I got to enjoy it perched on some rocks along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world thinking what I can release on the rise of la Luna 🌑 🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #fullmoon #fullmooninvirgo #supermoon #atlanticocean #sunset #capetown #cityofcapetown #capetownetc #beautifuldeatinations #visitsouthafrica #meditation #healing

The question is, are you willing to go through the mud? Are you willing to look at the deepest parts of yourself and see what doesn’t work? Are you willing to let a mirror be held up and see where you can correct your course? Can you own your part and acknowledge the energy that your being brings to the system? I am sure that on the other side, through all the self work and painful moments, you will also find peace and self acceptance that will give you the strength to flow, with this ever evolving thing we call life. Have the courage - because on the other side of that darkness, is the light...And of course, the darkness again. Growth is not linear and never complete. 🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #selfcare #selflove #bethelight #yogaeverydamnday #thetrufflejournal #growth
