Finding Innovation in Stillness

Perhaps my title gave it away but staying motivated has not been my strong suit lately, and I’m sure many can relate. I have always said that I only write when motivation or inspiration strikes, and that has been lacking for a few months now (hence the reason I have...

The Reality Post-Accutane

I hope this post helps anyone pursuing a journey to optimal physical, mental or emotional health feel understood and most importantly encouraged to keep on going, because regardless of the nature or severity of the issue you’re facing, the same bodily principles I discussed above apply And our bodies only ever want the very best for us, so should we not want the same for them?

Anxious Thoughts

I’ve been struggling lately to find something to write about, and the fact that it’s been a while (once again) hasn’t alleviated the pressure to come up with content. Then today, I decided to journal, something I rarely do and I a wave of inspiration came over me and I decided I wanted to share it with you.

Best Banana Muffins

So I know my last recipe was a banana muffin recipe, but this one is just too good not to share! I hope you love it as much as I do. These muffins are both added-sugar free, GF and high in protein, they taste just like ones you'd buy fresh from a bakery!! Ingredients:...

WorryWart? More like WorryWeed (no not that kind)!

Well hello again! I hope you’ve all had a fun summer and are ready to get back into the swing of things as fall fast approaches. Whether you’re starting school, work or your retirement, I find this time of year to be a bit overwhelming as the season starts to change,...

You Should Chai It

To all of you who love chai tea, and to those of you who don’t, this tea is worth a try. I recently had the pleasure of taste testing Ommate’s loose leaf chai tea and was delightfully pleased with its ingredients, flavor…

Acne Update/Skin Care Routine

Writing about my skincare routine has never been something I've dabbled in, primarily because (and if you read this post you would know) my skin has never been something I'm particularly proud of. My skin has always been my #1 biggest insecurity because of the...

Snack Bombs (VEGAN/GF/PALEO/KETO)

This recipe is one of my favourite things to snack on and is a true staple in my weekly meal prep. After lunch alongside a cup of matcha these snack bombs are the ideal afternoon (or morning) pick me up/pre-workout/pre-dinner snack. Some call them fat bombs, I have...

How My Obsession Became My Passion

In honour of national eating disorder awareness week, which extends from February 26th to March 4th, I feel as though this is an appropriate time to share with you how my childhood obsession turned into my passion today. It's a story that I've surprisingly never...

Trilogy of Perfection

I recently read an article by Cody McBroom on Dr. John Rusin's website called The Nutrition Hierarchy: Performance VS. Aesthetic VS. Health. It truly is an excellent read not only in content but in its purpose as well. McBroom discusses how to achieve optimal...

Resolutions

Given that January is coming to an end and that the cold weather has truly set in for many people around the world the reality is, that many people's New Year's resolutions have most likely come to an end. I'm not stating this to sound pessimistic, in fact my goal is...

Yummmeatloaf

For some reason (maybe this is just me) but I've always portrayed meatloaf in a negative light. I'm not sure if it's because it reminds me of icky cafeteria food or if it's just the name I don't like, either way this delicious meatloaf will melt all of these worries...

Purpose

If you know me well, you know that as much as I'd like to be I'm not much of a reader. In fact, I really don't read very much at all, -unfortunately so. However, in efforts to improve my reading ability, I've recently started to read a new book: Blue Zones of...

What’s Taken Me So Long?

Finally!! I’m back to blogging after such a long break and the timing couldn’t be more perfect as the holiday season is in full swing and I’m feeling cheery! As you’ve hopefully noticed, the reason I’ve been slightly MIA is primarily because I’ve been working on...

Leah Honiball

“I met Leah over four years ago, when I was hired to build her website. I took a look at her site recently and saw all the valuable knowledge she had shared there. I asked myself what I had to show for being a writer and designer all these years… Nothing in terms of a personal site. So I was inspired by her, which is a nice way of saying I was jealous, and began to write daily, on the quest for a 365-day body transformation.”
