I was so excited when Suzi asked me to do a guest post about the Tone It Up Retreat. I have not been blogging lately, and I so miss it. This is a fabulous way to chronicle the amazing time I had at the Tone It Up Retreat. Firstly, a brief background of Tone It […]
Cleaning Without The Chemicals
After my post yesterday on reducing chemicals in my personal care routine, I figured I finish it off with a post today talking about what we use to clean at home, because traditional cleansers are certainly another source of endocrine disruptors. There are still a few things we need to switch over to a more […]
Reducing Chemical Exposure in Your Daily Care Routine
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, […]
Monday Musings 10/20
Well hello there! You may (or may not) have noticed I took most of last week off from blogging. After a couple crazy work weeks I was in need of an extra bit of down time, and not putting pressure on myself to pump out a bunch posts and take the time to chill out. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Food Network Comes to The Valley!
Not only were they in the valley, they were less than a kilometre from my house this past Saturday! Okay, so it might not have been any of the “big” names from the Food Network, but there were indeed here none the less, and I as a dedicatedFood Network watcher, and blogger had to of […]
