1. Bloom where you are planted.
2. Different is beautiful.
3. Why blend in when you were born to stand out?

EASY STIR-FRY RECIPE! Save this post for a future

EASY STIR-FRY RECIPE! Save this post for a future dinner idea!⁣
[AD] @conagrabrands offers many popular kitchen staples that are prepared right in Canada! With 4 facilities across the country, these brands are local, affordable, and conveniently found in your nearest grocery store. You would likely recognize brands like @gardein, @angiesboomchickapop, @vhsauces, and @huntstomatoes but I bet you didn’t know many of their products are prepared locally by Canadians!⁣
⁣
Here is one of our favourite go-to stir-fry recipes. This recipe is quick and easy and a great way to use up leftover vegetables or protein!⁣
Cut your vegetables and protein into 1 inch cubes or ½ inch strips.⁣
Add 1-2 tbsp. of vegetable oil to a frying pan heated to medium heat. ⁣
Stir-fry your protein: tofu, chicken, or shrimp⁣
Once protein is cooked through, remove from the pan and set aside.⁣
Add 1-2 tbsp. of vegetable oil to the pan and add vegetables. Fry until soft.⁣
Transfer protein back to the pan and add 1 cup of @vhsauces Teriyaki or Pad Thai sauce. ⁣
Heat through for 2-3 minutes while stirring. ⁣
Serve over egg noodles or rice.⁣

𝔼𝕏𝕋ℝ𝔸 𝔼𝕏𝕋ℝ𝔸! Anyone itching to break out a pretty dress and get out of the house? I've decided that for the remainder of 2021, we all have the right to be extra EXTRA to make up for all the time we sat at home moping in our sweatpants for the past year and a half. This is a small step I need to help get back to my confident, carefree old self (I miss her!) and I'm ready to get back to living with purpose again.⁣
We'll call this my new Walmart grocery shopping outfit. 💖⁣
Who's ready?⁣

Fun ways to GLAM up your ponytail (or your poodle?

Fun ways to GLAM up your ponytail (or your poodle?!):
1. Section off some hair at your part and try one or two fishtail, Dutch or French braids. Secure with a tiny elastic.
2. Slide in a few rhinestone or pearl barrettes. Make a statement with these word clips from Amazon (12 in a pack for $14).
3. Pull back your pony tail and secure with an elastic then layer a fun scrunchie over top.
4. Tease the ponytail with a brush to add thickness and volume.
5. Finish with hairspray! Voilà!
