When life gives you lemons; you find some apples, carrots, and ginger — then you make this delicious juice! My Apple Carrot Lemon Ginger Juice is such an easy recipe that I almost didn’t want to share, but this is one of my all-time favourite fresh juices. Sometimes simple really is best. Enjoy this little bit of sunshine in a glass whenever you need a quick dose of vitamins and antioxidants to cleanse your digestive system and rev up your metabolism.

CRUDITÉ STYLE NIÇOISE SALAD
My Crudité Style Niçoise Salad is my favourite salad to make after a trip to the farmer’s market! There’s a ton of beautiful, seasonal produce available right now, and this simple salad lets the ingredients shine. I like to serve this salad crudité-style — that way everyone can take what they like and customize their plates. This is a girl dinner classic; a nutrition-packed, hearty salad that tastes just as good as it looks!
I’m excited to share the first of many DESIGN themed posts here on JustineCelina centered around the home and DIY — today I’m showcasing our Wine Nook! This is one of those spaces that took awhile to come together — our living room is a long, rectangular shape, and there was always this open space on the far wall, next to the patio door. Come take a look at how I finished this space and share some design inspiration, along with a few DIY tips!
BLACKBERRY SAGE SMOOTHIE
I took inspiration from one of my favourite blackberry sage teas to come up with this sweet and savoury Blackberry Sage Smoothie recipe! It’s bursting with luscious berry flavours, complimented by an earthy hint of sage. A splash of lemon makes this smoothie bright and refreshing, plus it’s loaded with antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients. Enjoy this smoothie whenever you’re craving something savory, sweet and unique!

3. It’s full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and complete protein
4. When I drink it consistently my skin is more radiant

Let me start off by saying that I’m a bit of a wino! I like to try different local wines when I’m traveling and add bottles from around the world to my (ever dwindling) collection. When I was in Oregon, I wanted to head out to Williamette Valley to do some vineyard touring — I love Oregon Pinot Noir — but was running short on time. Since I wasn’t able to visit wine country, I stopped into an urban winery in SE Portland called ENSO instead.
