    How We Improve Gut Health with Align

    June 6, 2018 /

    I created this post as a paid ambassador for Align® Probiotic. All opinions and advice are my own. I only work with companies I genuinely love and have used prior to being contacted.    A lot of people look forward to spring. I have a bit of a different take. For some reason every single Spring I notice dramatic changes in my gut health. It’s not pure science or anything but it is my experience over more than a decade. The weather gets a bit warmer, slowly, and my gut goes haywire.   So how do I cope with that? This year I have been using Align probiotic. In fact,…

    My Word of The Year Check in – March Progress

    April 2, 2018 /

    Time for my March Progress Word of the Year checkin. Every year I pick a word or phrase to help guide my personal goals. I find this activity helpful for my own health and wellness throughout the year. This year you might recall my word of the year is MOVE. I am working on monthly checkins here to keep myself accountable to all of you. It’s technically three months into the year. Quarter one is done. So how did March progress? Am I making my personal goals this year? Have my fitness goals evolved or changed or slipped by the wayside? What have the challenges been? Have I been sticking…

    My Word of The Year Checkup – February

    February 15, 2018 /

    January was a hot mess. Actually maybe not even a HOT mess. Just a mess. But back at the start of January I wrote a post about my word of the year. My word this year is MOVE. So I thought it worthwhile to do a quick word of the year checkup to keep myself accountable to all of you. So here that is – my word of the year checkup. Month one. I am generally good about keeping personal goals. 2017 and mindfulness was the exception to that one. And if you know me at all then you know that I work out a lot and I am pretty…

    A Guide to Sick Day Workouts

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Guide to Sick Day Workouts One of the worst parts of being sick for me is the interruption to your fitness routine. Sometimes it’s ok (or even better for you!) to maintain your workouts even when you’re not feeling your best. For me, working out is not negotiable. I feel better and have more energy when I work out regularly, even when feeling under the weather. How do you know if it’s ok to workout? Generally speaking, if you have enough energy to get moving and your symptoms are…

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Well, cold and flu season is here. Every year, it’s the same story. Despite our best efforts, most of us will be forced to admit defeat and retreat to our sofas with a healthy supply of tissues and hot liquids. Trust me I am more than familiar with this. My youngest daughter started in with coughing almost immediately when she returned to school. She battled bronchitis for weeks, and a cold as well. Naturally we all ended up with this nasty bug. This season the cough is the thing…

    Avoid Migraines by Avoiding Foods that May Trigger Them

    September 18, 2017 /

    Avoid migraines by avoiding triggers. Because prevention really is worth a pound of cure when it comes to these debilitating headaches. Many people get migraines, but some might not know diet can play a role in these excruciatingly painful headaches – the kind of headaches that leave you locked in a dark quiet room, praying that the headache will go away. While the diet and migraine link is not a precise science, there is a lot of discussion and study around the fact that certain foods can worsen a pending migraine. I’ve found that one of the best ways to avoid migraines is to avoid foods that can trigger them. Avoid…

    Water Safety – Keeping Kids Safe While They Have Fun

    August 8, 2017 /

    Water safety is something that should be in the forefront of every parent’s mind. Whether you have a pool, love the water park, visit the beach, or go swimming in your local lake or river, being safe on and near the water is crucial. All it takes is a few seconds for a tragedy to happen. Parents and caregivers can keep kids safe by making sure we practice proper water safety at all times. Why Water Safety is so Important Our kids were babies when we began swimming lessons through the Red Cross Canada program. Swimming is a lifeskill that is not negotiable for me. I was a late swimmer…

    Personal Training – Huge Help or Waste of Money?

    July 28, 2017 /

    Personal training – when do you need it and why? Is it necessary? If you hang out here often then you know I spend a fair bit of time at the gym. I do a wide variety of group fitness classes to stay interested and challenged. When I first joined years ago I often saw people of all ages working with a personal trainer. Initially I thought it was for people who were hard core gym rats, but I tried it myself and I was surprised, so thought I would share what I learned. The fact is, personal training has some major benefits. Personal Training and You The thing about…

    BLISSED OUT at Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant, Quebec

    July 25, 2017 /

    At the end of the day I linger longest. Last of our group, still indulging and squeezing every last drop of solitude and quiet and peace out of the Spa experience. Today, on our final morning in Tremblant, Quebec a group of travel influencers including myself, are happily visiting Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant before we leave for Gatineau area. The spa is a calming experience after canoeing, hiking, biking and zip lining for days. It is a welcome event for me. Long overdue. This week I celebrated my birthday zip lining down Mont-Tremblant and it was epic. The schedule for today was at first just exploring the spa and experiencing the baths…
