Well I don’t think I have been the only one these past two weeks, but there sure have been many mornings when I left the house to take the children to school and we were driving in the dark. I cannot lie, it does feel strange to drop and pick them up in the dark, but I don’t find it really bothers me, at least I don’t think it does. Maybe I have found my own ways to cope, but I know it can be hard on many of you, so here are a few of my ways that I think helps me through the darker mornings. Read More→

I truly love summer, the swimming, warm sunny days, and trips to the beach, but there is something about fall, maybe it’s back to routine or everything pumpkin, but it truly is a lovely season. As we continue to walk in this pandemic, I think it’s important that we look at each season with excitement and find fun things to do each and every day that can help us remain positive and happy.
It has been a great summer and a lot of you have been privileged to work at home over the last year and a half, but now it’s back to work and school routines.
Here are my best ways to be on time.
Who doesn’t love a refreshing smoothie on a summer hot day, to be honest I would have one most days if I had all the ingredients.
Smoothies can be full of antioxidants, protein, water, and many good nourishing vitamins. Read More→
From preventing heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or the common cold to improving sports performance, building muscle, losing fat, decreasing inflammation, or slowing signs of aging, the proclamations made by supplement and nutraceutical companies sound tempting and promising. Why not, like many Canadians, give it a go?
It’s a Marathon, we are in the home stretch!
Have any of you ever run a half marathon, marathon, or even an ultra-marathon? If you haven’t let me assure you it is what we are physically, mentally, and emotionally in. In 2007, I ran my first and most likely my last marathon. Read More→
It’s December 31st and it seems like everyone is asking you what is your New Year’s Resolution? You think to yourself I don’t have one. You feel pressure to make something up when you really don’t want to give something up or change anything.
Resolution is defined as a firm decision to do or not to do something. It’s almost like when people make resolutions in a month’s time they have given up because what they chose to do was probably not even realistic in the first place. For example, I managed a fitness centre for many years, the gym was packed the first week of January, by mid- March it was back to the normal clients. The reason being is people chose a resolution of going to the gym each day that was probably not realistic for them. Instead, they could have made a goal that they chose to stick to like “I will go to the gym 3x a week.” Read More→
Some of my favourite smells this season are gingerbread, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Who doesn’t love building a gingerbread house even if you don’t eat it, but can look at it all month long. Or how about sipping on a hot gingerbread latte from Starbucks, Mmmmm my favourite. I ask for it half sweet to cut the sugar in half. Put out some fresh cinnamon sticks with dried oranges and you have a healthy smell to walk into each night you come home. Read More→
The pandemic associated with COVID-19 has negatively affected tens of thousands of Canadians physically and mentally, but many more have been affected financially.
Whether due to reduced work hours, a complete loss of job opportunities or one’s small business being permanently closed, the financial devastation is very real for many people.
Pandemic aside, we all know when the weather turns, some of us begin to hibernate indoors. It is certainly not a bad thing, especially if you are sitting beside the fire, with a book in one hand and a hot cocoa in the other. But we all know that too many days spent in is not always the best. Did I forget to mention that it is dark at 4:30pm too?
So how can we beat the cool rainy days and still give our body all the feel goods we need? Read More→
