This past week I’ve been trying out the new Garnier Clean+ Makeup Removing Lotion Cleanser My skin is notoriously sensitive, especially around the eye area, so I was interested to see how it would compare to other eye makeup removers I have used in the past. And if you want a side by side comparison […]
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 […]
Low Intensity Dance Fitness: Rockin’ Robin
This week I’m bringing you a couple of routines I’ve been using in my Zumba Gold classes. Today’s routine is to Rockin’ Robin which was on Mega Mix 43. It’s a super easy routine, but I really like throwing dead easy ones in my classes in between more complicated songs so the participants can just […]
Spruce up Your Spring Closet with Bench. Canada
Yes I said it: Spring. All of my fellow east coast dwellers know what I’m talking about when I say February was a beast. Snow storm after snow storm after snow storm all month long. And there is something just so hopeful about the month of March. It’s possible that we will, in fact, see […]
Dance Toning: Reggaeton Latino
Hi everyone! Last night on Facebook I asked which you’d rather have for videos this week – Zumba Toning and Zumba Gold, and the masses requested Zumba Toning so that is what you shall get! The bad news is I didn’t realize when I recording how crazy bright the room was and when I imported […]
Smart Snacking

They don’t have anything pre-planned for snacks so they start eating whatever they can grab, or find themselves […]
4 Must Haves If You Want To Learn To Run
Running seems to be gaining more and more popularity, and many of the goals my clients send me surround learning to run, or running their first race. One of the best things about running is that it’s pretty low maintenance. You only need a couple things to learn to run making it a very economical […]
Kids Dance Fitness: Wreck It Ralph
As soon as I heard the Wreck It Ralph song, I knew I had to use it for Zumba Kids Jr. It is upbeat, fun and best of all – appeals to both boys and girls.
Staying Motivated During The Winter Months
This time of year I desperately envy those of you who don’t have to deal with winter. And more specifically snow, snow, and more snow. We were lucky here in Nova Scotia this year, as winter didn’t really seem to start until the end of January. But since then we’ve had approximately 500 snow storms […]
“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 […]
