My Rule of thumb is: If it is written on the front of packaged food, don’t believe it. Packaging claims are really just that…claims. Usually false claims at that! Check it out for yourself. Recently I read about Almond Breeze being sued for false advertising. In short, they do not contain enough almonds in it […]
I don’t believe in the 80/20 rule. It’s all the rage right now. Everyone is saying it. It is actually also known as the “Pareto Principle” that originally had nothing to do with a healthy lifestyle. You know people will say: “I eat clean and take care of myself 80% of the time so I […]
Today is Saturday May 23, 2015 and I experienced my first Ultra Trail Run and yes you read it correctly…50 miles (80km)! Here’s how it went down… After the kids finished school yesterday, we packed up the car for our hour drive to the hotel we stayed in which is located about 10 minutes from […]
We all grew up learning about the “three R’s”: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. But then we actually grew up, and the “three R’s” became Run, Rush and Ready. There have definitely been times where I have taken the easy way out instead of doing the best I can to protect the world we live in. I […]

Well, It’s not news to you that this fast paced life throws off our hormones and makes us […]
When you think about a yoga show…what do you picture? A bunch oh hoitty-toitty women prancing around in their Lululemon outfits and perfect makeup? That is kinda what I expected to see. This weekend I attended the Yoga Conference & Show here in Toronto. It was my first yoga show. I have heard lots about […]
You are what you eat…You are what you ate. You say tomato, I say tomato. Either way we should care about what we put into our bodies. Digestion is not the only way of harmful or healthy things getting into our body. The types of cosmetics and toiletries products we choose to put on our […]
My Top 5 Kitchen tools Kitchens. Some of us know how to rock it, some of us are on a path to rocking it and some of us think it rocks untouched and unused. Whoever you are, there are definitely some tools you use more than others. Do you ever reflect on which kitchen tools […]
