What makes you happy? I want to keep todays post simple.  This pandemic has been hard on everyone, every single person in this world has been affected one way or another, and so I want to give you something new to do, and I really hope you will do it.  Don’t think too much about it, just do it. Today and everyday this weekend, I want you to do one thing that makes you happy!  Whatever that may be! (as long as it’s legal) It can be big or small.  You will notice a great difference in your well being…

You Have Got To Try This!

April 8, 2021By

Cauliflower wings are all the rage, with good reason!  I. Am. Addicted.  I had just bought an air fryer and instant pot combo at the recommendation of a friend… and I am hooked!  I have had a love for my crockpot for many years, but that is something you have to plan for and cook.  You know what you’re making ahead of time and plan accordingly with throwing everything in the pot to cook all day and coming home from work to a deliciously made meal.  But what about when you want something on the fly and quick?  Enter the…

Be Kind To Yourself

April 1, 2021By

Be Kind To Yourself This unfortunately is one of the hardest things to do, and why?  We need to love ourselves before we can love another. If you have been through trauma, any trauma or abuse, it is extremely hard to love yourself.  I. Get. It.  I have struggled for years with this and still do.  I need to listen to positive music, books and or podcasts daily, every morning, just to keep my mind positive and fresh and focused on the day ahead.  I also have positive affirmations and words all over my home office, over 50 actually!  haha…

My Favourite Snack!

March 25, 2021By

Are you addicted to smoothie bowls like me?  Or maybe you haven’t tried one before? We have been enjoying them as a spring and summer snack for a couple years now, and I am in love!  They are so creamy, delicious, and a great nutritious plant based snack when you want something sweet and satisfying.  They are fully customizable and you can make them a full meal or just a snack.  One thing that I grew up hearing is that bananas are constipating and you should only eat one daily or less.   This is so untrue!!  In fact, bananas are…

If You Don’t Drink This, You Will Die!

March 18, 2021By

Is drinking a lot of water that important? Quick answer… ABSOLUTELY You have heard the general rule… “Drink have your body weight in ounces of water daily” which is what I encourage my clients to do, so that it is more catered to the individual as opposed to the “Drink 8 glasses daily”  but its a great place to start when you’re upping your water.  It can be quite the habit change for some.  I have heard it all… “I don’t like water” “I can only drink it if its cold” “I’m too busy to drink water” “I need flavour…

A Vegan Soup at its Finest

March 11, 2021By

One of my favourite soups when I was growing up was canned tomato rice.  I loved the flavour, (albeit there was a ton of sodium in it) and I could live off of the tomato and rice combination in many dishes to this day.  I had a bunch of tomatoes that were about to go bad, so I whipped them up into a soup, and this was born!  I love the flavour, and the fact that its made with purely fresh vegetables.  But I have also made the canned tomato version, and it tastes just as good. Homemade Tomato Rice…

Have you heard about the 4-7-8 breath technique?

March 4, 2021By

  Have you noticed how deep you breathe when you’re by the ocean, a lake or in the mountains?  The air is crisp, fresh, and cleaner than we are used to and you naturally just want to take it all in.  I myself am a very shallow breather, I tend to get headaches, and a couple of years ago, I started getting regular migraine headaches, preceded by an aura.  Mostly due to stress, but when I was researching about them, how deep you breathe can affect headaches and migraines, which made perfect sense, clearly our brains need more oxygen.  I…

Do You Love a Healthy No Bake Snack

February 25, 2021By

Healthy no bake snacks is one of my favourite things to make.  These little beauties travel well, freeze well, and taste great!  When coming up with this recipe, I wanted a real, raw and quick nutritious snack that reminded me of carrot cake… without the icing, which I cannot remember when the last time I had a piece of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, but this recipe satisfies my taste buds.  And what it really comes down to is the spices.  Add a good spice to it, that is your favourite flavour, and you cannot go wrong.  I have…

What’s the deal with airline food?

February 11, 2021By

As much as I miss traveling and cannot wait to go on a trip soon… I day dream daily of the beach… however, I am not missing the smell of the airline food.  I haven’t partaken in sky food for many years, but I sure smell it when others do and most of it makes me gag…  what’s the deal with airline food?  Its not just airline food, its also the fast food they have in the terminals.  It really smells up the cabins and with the recirculating air, there is no escape.  I’m constantly trying to come up with…
