About Me
Nice to meet you. I’m Luciana, and I’ve always been a dreamer. But along with that, I’ve always been a go-getter. Let me try to summarize my amazing-yet-intense journey (so far).
Born Brazilian, made Canadian, I’ve been creating content for as long as I can remember. It’s not just a passion or profession; it’s my identity—I was born to tell stories.
Through experience and self-discovery, I realized the best stories I’ve told are the ones from my own life. I left home early to conquer the world, had my heart broken, and watched a lot of expectations shatter. But I learned that living fully means not running from pain but embracing the lessons it brings.
With that spirit, I’ve paved my way to where I am today. I’m a proud wife to an amazing man who also happens to be a dreamer and an unconditional supporter of the little girl inside me.
Together, we worked hard, left our home country, and made Toronto our home. Here, I could finally let go of expectations and labels to simply be who I am.
I share my journey not only as a writer and wellness influencer, but as a woman deeply in love—with life, with health, and with my husband. Together, we live with intention, passion, and curiosity—exploring new places, savoring soulful meals, and keeping our relationship as vibrant as our lifestyle.
Through real vlogs, colorful cooking, early mornings, and honest reflections, I hope to remind you that life gets more magical when you work for it—and that love, like health, thrives when nurtured with presence and effort.
Journalist, Writer, Certified Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, Health Coach, and RYT-500 Yoga Alliance instructor.

Behind the Scenes
Cold days feel warmer with a wine that carries history (and gives you a warm hat 🫶).
Since 1875, founder Luis Pereyra Cotapos dreamed of crafting Bordeaux-style wines in Chile — and Santa Carolina Reserva de Familia Cabernet Sauvignon is the result.
Rich notes of cedar, chocolate, cassis, black plum, and a hint of nuttiness… perfect for slow, cozy moments.
From Nov 30th to Jan 3rd, it’s $2 off at all LCBOs — plus, you can get a free hat with all Santa Carolina products in select stores, while quantities last. ❄️🧣
🫶 Please enjoy responsibly

Pasta, candlelight, and a glass of Leonardo da Vinci Chianti Fiasco. Suddenly, it’s not just Wednesday... it’s a trip to Italy. 🇮🇹🍷
For a limited time, get this elegant candle at select LCBO stores with your bottle.
Because the best date nights start at home. 💛

Cozy, crunchy, and made with intention 🤎
These almond flour + protein biscotti are light, crisp, and naturally sweetened — no refined sugar, no dried fruit, just wholesome goodness. Perfect with a warm drink, and they stay fresh for weeks (if you store them right!).
🛒 You’ll need:
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
• 1/3 cup natural sweetener (I use erythritol or coconut sugar)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 How to make it:
Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
In another bowl, whisk eggs with vanilla and add to dry mix.
Form a flat log with the dough and bake for 20–25 mins.
Cool for 10 mins, slice diagonally, and bake slices for 10 mins on each side until crisp.
Let cool completely before storing — lasts up to 2 weeks!
💡 Optional magic touch: Dip one end in melted dark chocolate for an elegant finish — perfect for gifting or simply savoring with love 💫
Would you make this at home?

We can miss out on our favorite activities of summer (yes, I’m talking about ice cream hopping), or we can adapt them. #romance #sweetdates
This place has my heart—and my appetite! One of my absolute favorite Portuguese spots in the city. From the bacalhau to the sardinhas, every dish feels like a warm hug from a Portuguese avó. 🥹🍷🍽️
Grateful for the flavors that bring back memories and make new ones with every bite. 💕
Have you fallen in love with Portuguese food yet? If not… let me take you next time 😋👇🏽

October, you were unforgettable 🍂✨
I ran my very first marathon (still can’t believe it!), shared soul-filling moments and romantic dinners with my husband, and stepped out of my comfort zone more than once. Growth, gratitude, and a whole lot of love. 💛

September, you tested me, inspired me, and filled me up. 🧡
The most crucial month of my marathon training — three 30K runs done! 🏃🏻♀️🔥
I cheered at the Toronto x Miami match ⚽️, explored incredible restaurants across the city 🍣🍝, and had the best time creating content that truly lights me up 🎥💫
And through it all, I shared quiet, beautiful moments with hubby. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. 🙏🏼

August, you were so good to me. 💛 I hit 30km in my marathon training (!!), wandered through the city like a tourist in my own town, savored slow dinners at my favorite spots (with a little too much ice cream after 🫢), shared romantic evenings with my husband, and enjoyed the beauty of the Niagara wine region. #AugustRecap #MarathonTraining #LifeLately #GratitudeInTheDetails #SummerVibes

✨Homemade natural sweetener from stevia leaves 🌿💚
If you’re looking for a sugar alternative that’s kind to your body and the planet, this one’s for you! I’ve been experimenting in my kitchen with stevia straight from my garden—and the result?

Balance has always been my favorite guide. ⚖️✨
It’s what brings lightness to wellness, joy to discipline, and freedom to routine.
When I choose balance, everything flows—body, mind, and life.
Because health isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what feels right. 💛

Taco ‘bout a good time 🌮😉 Lunch at La Carnita hit all the right notes—spicy, messy, and totally worth it. #torontoeats #torontorestaurants #torontotacos #TacoTime
My favorite summer treat for getting even more protein in? My protein yogurt popsicles! 🍦💪
They’re creamy, refreshing, and super simple to make:
➡️ For every part of yogurt, I mix in ½ part of protein powder (any flavor you love works!).
Then I pour it into popsicle molds and freeze. That’s it!
The one in this photo is made with vanilla whey protein and crushed walnuts for a little extra crunch 🤍
I’ll be sharing new flavor combos every day this week inside my private Instagram group—it’s totally free to join! ✨
