Continue reading →: Why I’ll Probably Grow Up to Be an Almond Mom
I can’t believe I’m saying this. Fifteen year old me would be absolutely horrified. But I genuinely think I’m going to grow up to be an almond mom. My future kids are getting bone broth, eggs, milk, meat, vegetables, fruits, olive oil, salmon, berries… basically every nutrient dense food I…

Hello,
I’m Riya
Welcome to my little corner of the internet where I write about all things lifestyle, culture, wellness, food, trends, and whatever else is taking up space in my brain.
Expect unabashed opinions, unnecessary rants, honest recommendations, and observations nobody asked for but I’m sharing anyway.
I’m not here to have all the answers. I’m just here to write.
Thanks for stopping by.
Let’s connect
Join the fun!
Would love to collab or hear your ideas !!
