    Celebrate All Your Loves This Valentine’s Day

    February 12, 2019 - By 

    “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” – Audrey Hepburn has a lot of great quotes, but this one is my favourite.  What could be more worthy of celebrating than love? Lately I’ve been thinking about love. There’s love for your husband or wife, significant other; love of your children, your family, parents, and friends. Love of yourself matters too.  There are so many different kinds of love, but ultimately love is the thing that motivates us every day. We search for it, and sometimes we let it slip through our fingers, but on Valentine’s Day the…

Valentine’s Day bouquets are a great way to let that special someone in your life know just how special they really are. Most years, my husband gets me a lovely bouquet.

    American Heart Month – Give a Piece of Your Heart

    February 22, 2018 - By 

    This post was written by me through an activation with HireInfluence on behalf of BIOLIFE4D. Although I received compensation for participating in the campaign, all thoughts and opinions are my own. The human heart is a miraculous and precious thing. It is the engine that sets the rhythm for your day. At roughly the size of a fist, it’s much smaller than you might have imagined. It is often a cartoon caricature this time of year and frequently it is the subject of so many love songs. Your heart also demands care and attention, like a high end sports car.…

    December 8, 2017 - By 

    Love out loud. Christmas is a wonderful time to celebrate all your loves.

It would be lovely if that was the case all year round but sometimes we need reminders of what we are grateful for. That’s sort of what Teleflora’s #LoveOutLoud campaign is about.

    Happy Heart Health Month – Facts About This Vital Organ #ad

    February 1, 2017 - By 

    This post has been generously sponsored by Bayer.  Heart Health is incredibly important to me. Why is that? Well, a few years ago I had a high blood pressure reading, followed by another one and so on until I was worried I’d need regular high blood pressure medication. I narrowly turned that around with lifestyle changes and my wireless home blood pressure monitor, but I still monitor it. But heart health remains top of mind for me daily. This month everyone has hearts and love on their mind. Every single store is full of heart shaped chocolates and pillows and candies.…
