Some people book spinning classes and get their ‘high’ of endorphins that way, others just let sauna blankets make them sweat in 2021 – simply while comfortably lying down. I had already heard about sauna blankets about a year ago. I also knew infrared heat from various hot yoga classes I attended in Vancouver, so naturally I was very curious. That’s why I tested the Koanna Infrared Sauna Blanket to see if it lived up to the hype…after all, even Joe Rogan has said that he found his experience in a sauna to be ‘life-changing’. Read More

Who am I? What am I doing here? What’s my life’s purpose? And why the hell do I feel so lost? A few years back I reached a point in my life where I asked myself these (and many more) deep questions.

However, I’d like to continue on with the next cycle phase, which is ovulation phase (3-5 days), and therefore the next recipe I’d like to share with you: Avocado on my favorite homemade & gluten free buckwheat bread.
