Since the return to school is just around the corner, and many high school graduates are venturing off to college I thought I’d share this fantastic infographic that the folks over the thebestcolleges.com put together. I really love it, as it is full of amazing fitness tips for college students. It can be such a challenge, […]
Shoppers Drug Mart 30 Days of Beauty
I’m really excited about today’s post! Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a) a make-up junkie b) a Shoppers Drug Mart addict c) a Shopper Optimum Points freak, but let’s not dwell on that last one right now So it should come as no surprise that when I was approached to help […]

Mix 36
I’ve been bored to death doing super tedious accounting (which I normally like, but when I can’t print things out because my printer is haywire, it is just plainly annoying), so I was happy to see this month’s Zumba CD in the mail because it meant I could take a break from numbers and write […]
The Road to San Fran Week 1
It came to me this weekend. 3 months from now I will have participated in my first Half Marathon. And not only that, I get to run that half at the 10th Nike Women’s Half in San Francisco. Eep! I guess that means I need to start getting down to business with my training! […]
A Different Perspective on Fitness

Yesterday was a beautiful day. We’ve had really nice (and hot) weather so far this week. I had a class at noon and another one in the evening so between those I had a list of things I wanted to get done, but nothing that really had to be done. So I did what any […]

Hi everyone! I’ve been on a semi-vacation for the past couple weeks so my regular blogging schedule has been a bit “off” but now I’m getting back on schedule, and thought I’d start off with a re-cap of my Mud Hero run from a week ago! As you all know I live in rural […]
EPIC Canadian 10K 2013
This past Saturday I participated in the first ever Epic Canadian 5/10K in Dartmouth. Since my class schedule has now cut back for the summer I’m officially starting my half marathon training, but since I’ve already got a running base I’m jumping right in where the rest of my TNT team is instead of […]
Healthy Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Visalus to see if I would be interested in developing a recipe using their Vi-Shape Nutritional Shake Mix. Since I love “playing” in the kitchen I of course said, “Yes!” And then spent the next week pondering what to make. There are so many pancake and muffin […]
