If you follow me on social media you already know that last weekend I took to the mud and participated in Mud Hero 2016 at Ski Martock here in Nova Scotia. This was the third mud/obstacle race for me, and while I want to give you a bit of a recap of the day, I […]
Cruising Into Summer With Sport Chek #SweatBetter
Happy first day of summer!!! I mentioned in my last post that my quest to re-finding my fitness self was going to be a multi-part endeavour. I’ve been plugging away at yoga even if for only 10 minutes at a time since I hit publish last week, but that alone isn’t going to be enough. Since I […]
On Finding My{Fitness}self Part 1
Life is interesting. It’s ever changing and we need to be ever adapting in the wake of those changes. As a fitness instructor, healthy eating coach and blogger you would think that the one place in my life that is a constant is striving to be (and stay) healthy. And it is. But being “healthy” can look so […]
3 Easy Ways To Incorporate Essential Oils Into Your Day
Essential oils have been used for centuries and along with other natural healing methods were the main tools used in medical care until we learned how to create and synthesize drugs and other medications. I’ve been an advocate for essential oils for many years, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a million more times, but […]
Give Yourself A Little Extra TLC With Caring Crate
The past week and a half have been a bit of a doozy, but not in a good way. In case you missed my post on Instagram, just over a week ago we suddenly lost my sidekick and furry best friend of 12 years Ollie. We are heartbroken, and I spent 3 days doing nothing but […]
Get Your Skin Summer Ready
June is well underway, and we’re finally seeing some nice hot summery days here in Nova Scotia. The first of which were back at the start of May when I was road tripping to Moncton. During the trip I wore a sundress and shorts and realized just how sad my skin was looking. Number one, I’m […]
May Book Round Up!
This isn’t something I often do mostly because I tend to read a lot of “fluff” and YA books that I don’t feel are really appropriate to share here, but this month I’ve found myself reading a lot of health and wellness books and thought I’d share those with you. I am a book nerd […]
Tweak Your Tea With A Healthy Twist On Summer Drinks!
The Friday before the long weekend in May seems like the perfect day to talk about healthy summer drinks don’t you think? I know a lot of my clients find summer a difficult time to stay healthy, with so many barbecues, campfires and get togethers it certainly can be a time where we all get […]
15 Minute Spring Cleaning + A Giveaway!
When I think of spring cleaning for some reason the picture that immediately comes to mind is that of Laura and Mary Ingalls (from the books, not the TV show), cleaning out the whole house while their mother was gone somewhere. How they changed the hay in the mattresses and cleaned all the bedding and […]
Shopper’s LOVE. YOU. Weekend {recap}
I can’t believe this was already a week ago! I’ve said it countless times before, but events like this are what really make blogging such a special thing. This is something I never would have done otherwise (even if it happened locally), so having the chance to go to Moncton to help support the Shopper’s […]
