☁️Rest. Sadly, I’m currently dealing with a few pregnancy-related drawbacks (health-wise). When we came in for my check-up and the baby’s check-up today, we’ve been informed that there are a few less fortunate developments that we didn’t see coming. Because I can’t use any additional stress or pressure right now, I decided to take some time off of Instagram. I will probably stay active on IG stories & my blog though, so feel free to watch my stories, read my blogs or keep DM’ing me, but please keep in mind that it could take a while for me to respond. Don’t worry, the baby and I are fine for now, but I just really need to focus on my rest and health right now. Thank you for understanding and for all the sweet messages that I’ve received these past 8 months. Stay in touch💛. xo, Celina #ttyl #selfcarefirst • 📸 by lovely @designlovefest
Do you believe in coincidences? Yesterday morning I decided to prep my hospital bag - you know, just in case so that’s one less thing to stress about when those contractions come creeping around the corner. But that afternoon I noticed that I haven’t felt the baby move the entire day, just one quick kick early in the morning; which is a huge red flag when you’re 9 months pregnant. So I decided to call my midwife, just to see if I should be worried. She insisted that I come immediately so she can check the baby’s heartbeat. When I arrived she listened and said that everything seemed okay, but apparently she wasn’t 100% convinced, because she insisted that I stop by the gynaecologist right that instant to get my heart, the baby’s heart and my womb’s activity monitored for 30 minutes. So we rushed to the other hospital, where I got hooked up to the monitor and had several other checks performed on me. All of these tests didn’t seem to convince the gynecologist, because he wanted me to start counting kicks for another day and return as soon as nothing changes. Thankfully, my little girl has been her little active self again today, so no need for any worries. But boy, that was quite a scare. I’ll be closely monitored from now on, which is a good thing I guess.. Just goes to see, these last few weeks are amazing but also really stressful. Now lets hope she stays put for 3 more weeks and shows her chubby little face when the time is right.💛 • My shirt, robe & headband are by: @francisandhenry 🌿 • #celinaliya #36weekspregnant #9monthspregnant #myhospitalbag #francisandhenry #organic #organicclothing
🎄I think it’s safe to say that I’m pretty ready for Christmas😬. It seems as if this little 36-week old creation in my belly is helping me get my creative food juices flowing again, as you may have noticed. So many ideas, but so much exhaustion and back pain because of this extra home I’m carrying around😂. But I just HAD to bake these for you guys.. I tweaked my babe @vanelja’s recipe for these💗🙌🏼. • #celinaliya #vanelja #vegancookies #glutenfreecookies #vegangingerbread #veganchristmas #vegan #beautifulcuisines #thrivemags #feedfeed #feedfeedvegan #feedfeedbaking #feedfeedglutenfree #glutenfreecookies #glutenfreebaking #glutenfreevegan

🎉It’s time for Christmas yumminess! On today’s menu: Vegan meringue kisses🎄. Need I say more💃🏻? • // R E C I P E INGREDIENTS 1 x water of a 400g can of chickpeas 140 grams of powdered sugar 1 tsp Cream of Tartar INSTRUCTIONS -Preheat the oven to 100°C. -Strain the can of chickpeas and reserve the water. Store the chickpeas in an airtight container in the fridge and use for whatever you like. Place the chickpea water in a very clean, dry bowl. Make sure this bowl is completely free of any oil residue, because the slightest trace of oil will kill the meringues! -Using an electric whisk or stand mixer (with the balloon whisk attachment) beat the aquafina (chickpea water) on high speed for 5 minutes. Then slowly add the sugar; divided by 3. Continue to beat on high in between each addition until it is completely incorporated. -Once the sugar is incorporated, sprinkle the cream of tartar over the top, and beat on high until the meringue is smooth, glossy and forms stiff peaks when removing the mixer. -Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and chop the end of the bag off with about a small opening. -Line a flat baking tray with parchment paper. -Now slowly squeeze the mixture onto the baking tray, forming little Hershey Kisses-like creations. Be sure to leave a little gap between all of your kisses. -Bake for about 60-90 minutes (depending on your oven) or until the meringues are hard on the outside the whole way down. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing from the tray, they should peel off very easily once cooled. -Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days. • #celinaliya #veganchristmas #veganmeringue #meringuekisses #vegancookies #meringue #whatveganseat #feedfeed #feedfeedvegan #beautifulcuisines #vegancommunity #veganbaking
A charming bathroom selfie in my boyfriend’s underwear, simply because I still can.. in less than 5 weeks I won’t be able to take shots like these anymore and I’m honestly not sure how to feel about that. I love having my girl all for myself, all safe & sound in my womb, but boy am I tired. Physically, but also mentally. I miss the old me, the old body and simply not being “that pregnant girl”, but just Celina. Although people rarely speak up about this, I do choose to use my platform to open up about this other side of the pregnancy. It’s not all rainbows & unicorns. It’s sleepless nights, daily nightmares, constant peeing, not being able to poo, bleeding gums, not being able to be active for any longer than 1 hour, feeling all sorts of pains that give you major anxiety, hightened anxiety overall, being belly-shamed (yes, people compare preggo bellies) and the list goes on. But still I choose to love this time. To love this body. To be mindful. Because damnit, do I enjoy her kicks and turns. And boy, will I miss having her all for myself in this safe place. 4 weeks and a bit more left.. can’t wait, but I’ll wait with love. 💗
