I’ve been internet friends with Candice Aiken for a while now (we met through studying at IIN and B-School) and every time I see a post of hers pop up on social media she makes me smile. Her love of health and wellness and her unbridled passion for Mother Nature’s handy work is infectious. Candice is the founder of the website Co-inside Wellbeing, which she runs with her husband Curtis. She is the ideal candidate for Foodie Friday, and I’m so excited to share this gorgeous girl with you.

I’m so excited to have the lovely Lisa Mitchell as my very first Foodie Friday of 2013. Lisa and I started chatting a few months ago after she gave me and my website a shout out to her Twitter and Facebook followers. From this virtual meeting I discovered that Lisa is so much more than the talented folk-pop singer/songwriter I knew her to be. She is also deeply spiritual, very wise, and a passionate healthy foodie!
