Hi All, Last weekend one of my best friends Kaitlyn invited me out to go hiking. I got up at the 'Sunday crack of dawn' (8 am) and headed over to meet her at the trail for 9:15. It couldn't have possibly been a more beautiful, sunny, crisp and just overall glorious...
Hi All, This Wednesday I thought the topic of friendship and spending time with best friends was important- so I thought I would share my visit with one of my best friends Claire. Claire and I met just over two years ago now as co-workers in a summer student research...
Hi All! A couple weeks ago I did a post about strawberry picking, well now it's time for blueberries- which I have to say I love picking even more than strawberries. 🙂 The berries are SO GOOD this year!! They're jumbo sized! and super sweet and flavourful! So...
Hi All, This post is going to be about one of my absolute favourite early-summer activities: Strawberry Picking!!! I decided to make this a Wellness Wednesday post because I believe that it contributes greatly to my wellness! What could be more health promoting than...
Hi All! Today I have a guest post for Wellness Wednesday- my guest being my mom! She read this book back a couple of months ago and has been raving about it ever since! So here is her report! Jumpstart Your Metabolism by: Pam Grout "Oxygen- contracts our muscles,...
Hi All, I do realize it has been a while for Wellness Wednesday, but here I am -back at it- and what I wanted to share with you today is a super healthy lunch that I have been obsessed with lately! I call this 'The Bev Sandwich' because when my parents went down to...
Hi All, This Wellness Wednesday I wanted to write about something that I've been doing a lot lately- clearing clutter- and generally pairing down on all my material possessions. This is something that I feel is really undervalued and can make a huge change to your...
Hi All, Today for Wellness Wednesday I wanted to talk about tea. Tea is something that I have always enjoyed but recently, especially with my cold and trying to keep extra hydrated, I have been drinking it a lot! I've even worked out a bit of a system that I find...
So... completely Wellness, but not so Wednesday... Thinking Healthy Thursday? What is it with me and alliterations. ANYWAYS- yes I missed Wellness Wednesday this week- but only by a day, everything in moderation right? even Wellness being posted on Wednesdays. So...
For this Wellness Wednesday- I'm doing a second round of sneaking veggies into breakfast- with my version of the Green Smoothie. I feel like the Green Smoothie is a fairly common and established thing- but since it is always good to see everyones different versions...
Hi All! By now I am sure you have noticed my slight obsession with british YouTubers. And part of that obsession includes my favourite fitness channel: The Lean Machines. I actually found this channel through the Pixiwoo sisters (BEST MAKE-UP ARTISTS EVER), and it is...
I love oatmeal- apparently I always have (mom says she couldn't heap the spoon high enough for me when I was a baby). I suppose some things never change- but lately I've been ramping up my morning oats by sneakily adding some extra healthy ingredients. I am one...
I was thinking about what I should do for this Wellness Wednesday, and it occurred to me- the most simple and the most important part of Wellness- Happiness. So I set out to make a list of 25 30 33 things that make me happy, big or small. As you can...
I'm going to start this post off with a disclaimer that I am not a professional, I am not a dietician, or nutritionist, nor a doctor of any sort. But I did minor in health in university, and I have a pretty big interest and general wealth of knowledge that I have...
