Next up in this week’s gift guide series is a brand that I was really excited to feature. Not only are they an amazing local company, but they make soap and skin care infused with NS Kelp which contains a bounty of ingredients that enriches and soothes the dry skin. Today, we are talking about […]
Give the gift of clean makeup & skin care
Welcome to day 2 of my holiday gift guide! Today I want to share a brand that is still quite new to Canada, but has been taking the world by storm – Beautycounter. I’ve been making changes in my life these last few years to use more non-toxic products and to reduce the number of […]
The gift of a good night’s sleep with MediFlow
Please don’t yell at me but Christmas is six weeks away. The holidays are supposed to be about enjoying time with friends and family and the spirit of giving, but it can be stressful and expensive, and frankly overwhelming. One of my favourite tips for cutting the holiday stress, is making sure the majority of […]
The Big Take Aways from BlogJam 2017
This past Sunday the 3rd Annual Blog Jam Conference took place in Halifax. After missing last year because I was sick (booo) I was really excited to spend the day learning and hanging out with my bloggie friends. Because we all leave these events having so much information crammed in our brains, I decided instead […]

Stop Missing The Forest For The Trees
We’ve had the most amazing autumn here in Nova Scotia, so far this week we haven’t had a day under 20 degrees, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I haven’t yet had to break out the mittens. I’m a delicate muffin, haha and can’t stand cold hands so am […]
Barre Intensity Certification
Living in rural Canada means it’s a little bit more challenging to get those specialty trainings and certifications as a fitness instructor than it is when living in a big city. Getting a certification for teaching a barre styled class just hasn’t been an option to me until now, thanks to the Online Barre Intensity […]
Hitting the TBR (to be read) pile – September Reads
One of a readers biggest woes is their TBR pile. There are so many books to read, and only so much time! I tend to fall down the rabbit hole of borrowing books from the library and never getting around to reading the books I already own! So I’ve been making a conscience effort this […]
