Grow & Glow By Nali

Some of the best weekends are the ones spent at home with good food, good drinks, the kids running around and your bestie in the kitchen with you 😂🤎✨

We cooked, danced, sipped, laughed and somehow managed to make a whole restaurant-worthy spread in the middle of it all 😭😂

My 🦋girl Meron thank you for always filling my cup not only with drinks but love and much needed mom fuel ⛽️ 🔋 🤍✨

Tonight’s menu 🍽️✨
🥩 Steak bites
🍤 Shrimp
🍅 Tomato & burrata salad with grilled peaches
🌽 Jalapeño cornbread
🧀 Caramelized onion mac & cheese
🍰 Tiramisu for dessert

And because obviously we needed drinks toooo 😂🍹

🥒 Cucumber mint tequila cocktails
🍒 Cherry limeade tequila cocktails with Grenadian nutmeg syrup
✨ Frozen fruit, fresh mint & lime in every shaker
🌶️ Tajín + honey rims

Nothing fancy… just two besties, our babies, way too much food, a couple drinks and a GOOD time. 😂🥹🤎

This is your reminder that motherhood can still look like THIS too. ✨

I always say I NEVER applied to be God’s strongest soldier, yet somehow I stay enlisted 😭😂

Can somebody talk to the Big G and ask if I can be released from the program?! Cause whaaat 😭🤣

At this point I should be earning points. One more problem and I better get a free vacation 😂

We got this mammas/babes , what else we gunna but smile and deal and keep it pushing 😬🫶🏾🤎

From the waters of Grenada 🇬🇩🌊 to my kitchen in Toronto. 🌿🤎

Sea moss isn’t just another wellness trend ,it has deep roots in the Caribbean.

🇬🇩 In Grenada, sea moss has been wild-harvested for generations, with documented cultivation efforts dating back to the 1980s. Today, Grenadian farmers continue carrying that tradition forward.

And this batch? I brought it home with me directly from Grenada. 🥹🇬🇩

🌿 Why sea moss?
✨ For the BABES 💁🏾‍♀️💋 it provides minerals like iodine & iron that support normal thyroid function and energy metabolism
🧔🏽‍♂️ Men it provides minerals that support normal thyroid, muscle and energy function
👶🏽 Toddlers it can provide amounts of minerals, that help over physical and brain development 💪🏾🧠
but always check with your child’s healthcare provider before regular use

How I made it:
Rinse → soak overnight → rinse → blend → refrigerate. 🌿

For me, wellness is also about reconnecting with where I come from.

From Grenada, with love. 🇬🇩🌊🤎

Would you try Grenadian sea moss?

🇬🇩

A little Whole Foods run turned into a mini taste test 🤭🌿
Tried the brown butter iced latte + grabbed a turmeric ginger shot for a little wellness kick ,because we’re all about balance over here 😂☕️

Both were good, especially the brown butter iced latte… definitely getting that again I think it may be my new fall drink🤎🍂🍁🫶🏾

Would you try?! 👀

My baby just be happy to be a part of the vibes 🤣🌧️

In all seriousness, I hope everyone got home safe and in one piece ❤️🙏🏾 That storm was no joke.😮‍💨⛈️

Anyway… thanks for coming to my TED Talk. I’m going to go buy another wardrobe he’ll wear for 6 business days. 😭😮‍💨👋🏾

Being sick as a mama hits different. 😭🤎

Especially when you’re the one everyone depends on. Sometimes there’s no real “calling in sick” from motherhood so while I’m taking my prescribed meds, resting when I can and staying hydrated, I’ve also been reaching for some of my favourite kitchen remedies to help clear mucus in the 🫁🍃😮‍💨

Today’s little concoction:

🧄 Raw garlic — contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds
🍯 Honey — helps soothe my throat and cough
🫒 Extra virgin olive oil — healthy fats + antioxidant compounds
🍊 Fresh orange — vitamin C + citrus (I prefer lemon/lime, but we use what we have 😂)
🧂 Pinch of Celtic sea salt
Muddle it all together and take it raw. 😭

Is this a magical lung detox? No ma’am. 😂 But between my medication, hydration, food, rest and little wellness rituals, I’m trying to give my body all the support I can while it recovers.

And to the mama who’s sick right now: the house can wait. The laundry can wait. Do what NEEDS to be done and give yourself permission to slow down. Your babies need a mama who takes care of herself, reach out to the village if you have and REST🤎

We gotta get up… but we don’t have to do EVERYTHING. 🫶🏾
