This post is two weeks late, but today was the first time I had time to sit down and get it written out. Summer 2016 has been tough. I’ve written and talked about it many times here, on social media, and real life, but the night Ollie died our lives crashed. That little kitty was my […]
3 Ways You Can Stay Active While Giving Back To Your Community
Sometimes it can seem over whelming when we stop and think of all of the things we want to be, or feel like we should be doing, in life. And sometimes it’s a lack of knowing what to do or where to start that keeps us frozen on the spot and ending up doing nothing. […]
Celebrating #WhatItTakes
I’ve never considered myself an “athlete”. Growing up I certainly was anything but athletic, and even now as a fitness professional I find it hard to accept that as a fitting title. Perhaps I’m harder on myself than I should be, or perhaps I reserve the word athlete for those who I perceive as more dedicated than I […]
#RethinkReuse with Value Village
Today is a big day in New Minas, after many months of waiting, Value Village is officially open in the old Zellers location at County Fair Mall! If you aren’t local, you probably don’t understand why this is a big deal, but since the closing of Zellers, this space has set empty at the mall, […]
My #ColgateDailyRepair Confession
This is a sponsored post for Colgate-Palmolive Canada for Colgate Total* Advanced Health* Daily Repair Toothpaste. All opinions expressed are entirely my own. When I was a kid my baby teeth were stubborn little things that didn’t want to fall out on their own, and I ended up having quite a few of them pulled […]
Summer Picnic Classics With A Twist
Summer is in full swing, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve already had the opportunity to enjoy a few fun picnic and barbecue adventures this summer. There really is little better than gathering with friends on a warm sunny day to enjoy the weather and eat delicious food! My favourite was to enjoy […]
In Times Of Grief
It’s been a tough summer. Back on June 5th we lost our sweet, love bug Ollie in a very sad and upsetting way in the middle of the night, after that night Pekoe was changed. He never seemed really happy again. He lived at my parent’s house for weeks, and continued to migrate back and […]
June & July Book Round Up
It seems a little odd to be posting a book round up (or any kind of round up for that matter) before the month is actually over, but since I’m only sharing the health/fitness related books I’m reading and I know I’m going to be reading what I lovingly refer to as “fluff” for the […]
#KiehlsHalifax Blogger Breakfast Recap
A few weeks ago Atlantic Canada got it’s first Kiehl’s location, and to kick off the grand opening they hosted a Blogger Breakfast Event which I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend. I had only experienced a couple different one-use Kiehl’s samples in the past so wasn’t super familiar with the brand or it’s […]
Mud Run Tips: How To Keep Your Sneakers From Falling Off!
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 […]
