We have a spring time recipe theme on the blog this week to help welcome the season and introduce my new YouTube channel. All of the recipes posted this week will be up on the channel, one per day. So for today we have a Vanilla Mint Latte for Renewal!
Spring is all about renewal, refreshed energies, hope and life. The properties in this latte will help you embrace those spring time energies and move into the season with clarity, passion, and motivation to set new intentions and goals for yourself.
This week also boasts a new moon and the start of Aries season. A perfect storm to make whatever changes you might need in your life right now. The stars are aligned to help you reach whatever dreams you might have for yourself this season.
