You might be getting the idea by now that I’m all about natural remedies and solutions when they can be found. I think drugs and medications are fantastic and have saved me on more than one occasion, but I also think that for many non-life threatening ailments and illnesses that we should seek out natural […]
Stay Energized On The Go With SunRype Okanagan Energy Bars
Let’s start off this post with a little honesty shall we? I have always hated the taste of energy bars. Everytime I see someone talk about how much they love a certain bar I get excited, I buy one, and….. ick. So to say I was slightly skeptical the first time I tasted SunRype Okanagan […]

President’s Choice #NearYou
Do you ever find yourself in the supermarket in the summer looking at “fresh” peppers that were shipped in from a different continent and wonder what on earth is going on since you know they grow peppers literally 10km away? I know I do, and I’m picky about what produce I will buy. I would much rather pay […]
Breakfasts for Better Days
September is here and school is back in (or just about in) so the minds of parents is shifting from summer back to school mode: school supplies, packing lunches, homework and missed buses. Something that you might not think a lot about is breakfast. Last week I had the opportunity to speak with Michelle Conway, an elementary school […]
Shelled Versus Whole Flaxseed – Which Is Better?
I think by now most anyone who is at all interested in healthy eating has at least heard of flaxseed. They are these tiny little powerhouses that we know are a good source of Omega 3’s and fibre, but for many people, that’s about all they know, so when they go to the store and […]
