Just before I started typing this I checked, and there are 69 days until the Bluenose Marathon, or for me, the Bluenose Half Marathon. I started “training” this past week, meaning I’m giving myself a full 10 week training schedule for this race, with hopes that I’ll actually be able to stick to a training […]
Spa-Dee-Da Youth Kindness Spa
Sunday afternoon I had the wonderful opportunity to take my 9 year old niece to the new youth kindness spa Spa-dee-da which recently opened up in Bedford. My lovely friend Colleen developed the branding through her Graphic & Web design business Drawbridge Creative and organized a blogger event for us to bring our girls in to check […]
Dance Toning: Sabes A Chocolate
Today I’m sharing one of my favorite routines that we’ve dubbed an arm destroyer. The key with this song (And any toning routine really), is to really focus on engaging your arm and shoulder muscles throughout the work phases of the song.
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
I’ve got a little secret. Yup, it’s true! I heart hemp hearts. More specifically Manitoba Harvest hemp hearts! For anyone who has never tried hemp hearts, I find they taste a lot like a chopped walnut, others compare them more to a sesame seed or pine nut. Any way you look at it, you can […]
Smart Snacking
In my role as a nutrition/weight loss specialist I’ve noticed that many people seem to have no problem eating well during regular meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) but when it comes to snacks they fall all to pieces. They don’t have anything pre-planned for snacks so they start eating whatever they can grab, or find themselves […]

“But I Don’t Want To”itis
It’s a real thing, I swear. Everyday, at least once a day someone tells me, “But I don’t want to drink so much water” “I don’t life to eat vegetables.” “I don’t want to exercise.” “I know I should eat better, but I don’t want to eat like a bird. I’d rather eat fries!” I don’t […]
Tommie Copper Review {Round 2}
Last year I reviewed a few pieces of Tommie Copper apparel here on the blog, and ever since it continues to be in the top 10 viewed posts nearly every day, which tells me that there are a lot of people out there interested in compression clothing, and the power of copper for pain relief. Since […]
February is Heart Month: Let’s Get Out And Go!
February is designated as Heart Month to help raise awareness for the Heart Health. Young or old we all need to take care of our hearts, and that was brought home quickly for me when J started having a serious heart problem a few years ago. To make a long story short, after a long […]
Post Snow Shovelling Yoga Flow #snowmageddon2015
How is everyone doing after #Snowmageddon2015? Still trying to dig yourself out, or did you manage to get away with little to no snow? Since I was snowed in yesterday I figured it was the perfect opportunity to record a little yoga flow for you that you can do after all the shovelling, or really anytime […]
