Lifestyle, Motherhood

It happened again. I had a second miscarriage just six months after my last. The first was at 19 weeks and, now, this one at 13 weeks. I share my story and why talking about miscarriage is so important.

Lifestyle, Motherhood

Today marks exactly six months since my worst fear came true. Over these last months, I learned many lessons. The following seven are the most important ones for me.

Recipes, Side Dishes

They’re a classic vegetable served with most dinners, but poor carrots are never really the star of the show. That’s why I love this recipe. The slightly-sweet but earthy flavour of the carrots really shine when paired with some lemon juice and honey. The rosemary adds a perfect amount of herbaceous aroma.

I never thought it would happen to me but then it did. I found out I had a second-trimester miscarriage at almost five months into my pregnancy.

I’m Katie

I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist specializing in helping women with chronic acne clear their skin from the inside out.

Hey!

After years of dealing cystic breakouts, I cleared up my skin for good by fixing my gut, liver and hormones. I went back to school for nutrition and then said seeya later to my job in television. I launched an online nutrition business (before working from home was a thing) so I could help as many women as possible feel confident AF in their own skin, too.

We help you understand what your body’s been asking for, so you can stop guessing and move forward with clarity.

Testimonials

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!

I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."

 I used to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
