After getting back from Maui last month, I realized I wanted to live as the islanders do, simple. I wanted to incorporate that with everything, my clothes, my makeup (see my minimalist makeup routine here), my workouts, & even with my food. We were never meant to live a complicated, crazy life & being students, working full time or even with myself living in the city, it’s difficult to get away from that. I’ve begun to make my foods from inspiration of what we ate in Hawaii. Everything was clean, simple, & healthy for you, but had lots of flavor. I’ve been experimenting with different sauces, herbs & spices so I give you:
