In honour of Canada Day, I’m sharing a red and white smoothie recipe inspired by one of my favourite summer desserts — cherry crumble! It’s cherry season in Canada, so I wanted to incorporate cherries into a healthy, nutrition packed smoothie that you can enjoy anytime of day (even though it tastes like a dessert!). My Cherry Crumble Smoothie also contains an unexpected superfood vegetable that makes it naturally sweet and decadent tasting — just like real cherry crumble.

A fresh playlist, just in time for the weekend! My June Soundtrack is full of happy summer tunes. I’m particularly excited about the Matt Simons track — it has a bit of a reggae-ish, Bedouin Soundclash vibe. And I love the feeling of the Real Estate track, it just feels like summer. The photo for this album cover was taken at the Glenmore Reservoir — we went one Sunday to relax for a little while (it was a beautiful day, but the water was freezing)!
DETOXIFYING WATERMELON MINT LIMEADE
I’ve been eating so much watermelon lately! I can’t help it, it’s just so delicious and hydrating. Today I’m sharing a simple juice recipe that involves a whole lotta watermelon — and all you need are 4 ingredients to make my Detoxifying Watermelon Mint Limeade! I’ve also been catching a lot of hot yoga classes lately, and indulging in a big glass of this juice after practice to rehydrate and help detoxify. Also, how gorgeous is this colour combination?
Summer is here and I’ve been rocking a bit of a sun-kissed glow lately… that isn’t actually from the sun at all. Today I’m sharing how to get a gorgeous summer glow using sunless tanning products! As a half-Irish girl, I’ve learned a lot about self tanning over the years — any colour I have comes from a bottle, not the sun. I’m also sharing a couple of my favourite SPF products today. So kick back, whip yourself up a tropical cocktail and let’s chat about safe sunless tanning (and some cute bikinis)!
VEGAN SOUTHWEST QUINOA BOWLS
This is a pretty nerdy confession… but it’s really fun for me to try to recreate restaurant dishes I love at home! I enjoy the challenge of figuring out what ingredients were used and attempting to make restaurant-inspired cuisine — it pushes me out of my comfort zone and I end up combining ingredients I wouldn’t usually pair together (like the Creamy Avocado Lime Dressing in this recipe). My Vegan Southwest Quinoa Bowls are inspired by the Viva Bowl at NYC’s Local Thyme (where I ate lunch almost every day during my time in Manhattan!) — but with my own spin, and tons of extra veggies! Did you know that today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day?
Today I’m continuing my OBSESSION series here on JustineCelina — highlighting a print, colour or texture of the moment, and showing you how to work it into your personal style — whether it be in the form of fashion, beauty, or in the home. Lately I’ve been obsessed with natural wood in all forms, so I thought it would be fun to share the pieces I’ve been lusting after! I have a few DIY projects planned for the summer in an attempt to make some of these items myself, so stay tuned if these pieces interest you (and you like making stuff!).
