Back in the late spring early summer I started reducing chemical exposure in my skin and body products when I kept getting what appeared to be an allergic reaction to my toothpaste or lip balm, or something. We still haven’t figured out what it was. At first I switched from Sensodyne (which I really miss, […]
Valley Harvest 5K 2014
Happy Thanksgiving Monday to all my Canadian friends!! As in past years I spent Sunday morning running the Valley Harvest Marathon 5K here in Wolfville. It’s so nice to run a race that is close to home and doesn’t involved getting up at 5 or 6 am in order to be there in time for […]
September Faves
I’ve been a little bit all over the place this past year or two with my “faves”. I started out doing them every week, but I had a hard time coming up with new things every week and then I was going to make them a monthly occurrence but that never happened, so here I […]
How Can I Change My Life in Minutes Each Day?
I’ve often said (only partly joking) that it takes the two of us all day long to do all of the things we need to do in order to stay even remotely healthy. While I may seem super healthy/fit I struggle every day to varying degrees thanks to my fibromyalgia, hormonal imbalances, a messed up […]
October Yoga Streak Challenge
Happy October 1st bloggies! I love autumn, and October is one of my favourite months because it’s cool, but not cold, its festive but not crazy over the top, and it’s the real kick off to sweater, boot and hot cocoa season 😉 The beginning of a new month also means there is an influx […]
Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence {A Review}
I first heard of Jessica Ortner early this year when Bex interviewed her on BexLife about tapping. Prior to that I’d never even heard of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and since then have watched a few more interviews Jessica has done with Bex (I’ve linked to one later in this post) and became interested to […]
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 […]
Let the Pounds FALL Off!
In a few days the moment will happen. September will arrive. I know. I’m sorry, but it’s true. Summer is coming to a close once again, and we’ll all find ourselves thrown back into the routine of September and the fall season. Autumn (for us posh folks) is my favourite season, it’s still warm and sunny, […]
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 […]
Becoming Flexible & Strong
I don’t know if I read it in one of her emails, or if it was in a video, but I remember Tara Stiles once talking about the parallel between your life on the may (as in the yoga mat) and your life in general. How when she first took up yoga she strived to master all […]
