It’s a brand New Year! Happy 2020. The beginning of a DECADE. Leave the 2010’s behind and let’s start fresh. Now is the time to let go of everything that was weighing you down from the last decade, hit the reset button, and make the next year or 10, count. I usually hate the whole […]

Why You Should Be Seeing A Chiropractor
I’m going to try and make this post as un-preach-y as possible, but having worked for a Chiropractor now for the better part of the last year, I have some knowledge that I feel needs to be put out into the world. First of all, if you’re not seeing a Chiropractor wtf are you doing, […]
Hosting A Bridal Shower On A Budget
Being a part of a wedding party is an honour. You have been chosen to stand by your friend or family’s side on one of the biggest days of their life. With this honour though there is also quite a bit of responsibility – one of those responsibilities being that you are in charge or […]
My Story: How I Got Into Fitness
The road I’ve taken to get where I am today in regards to my health and level of fitness has been long, winding, bumpy, and at some points a little hard to follow. I wouldn’t say I’ve even been “unfit” – I don’t have some crazy weight-loss story to share with you, or major turning […]
Where Have I Been? A Little Life Update
Ok, so I know it’s been a while. There has been A LOT going on. Wow. Life really comes at you fast when you really are not prepared for it. This is going to be super rambly and very unedited so if you see a typo or a sentence that isn’t perfect just roll with […]
I Used A Mineral Deodorant For The First Time
Mineral deodorant… if you’d have told me 5 years ago that I’d be rubbing a wet block of salt on my armpits to stop BO, I’d think you were having me on. But now, as someone that understands the importance of looking after our environment, and myself, I’ve made the switch. I’ve been wanting to […]
Surviving Your First PAP Smear
Not sure what’s come over me but for some reason I’m posting two vagina themed posts within the same couple of months? My apologies, but someone’s gotta talk about it, right? Today we’re going to talk about PAP smears. Side note… Isn’t smear such an icky word? It’s about as cringe as “moist” is… A […]
Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019
That’s it then… another year gone. I can’t really say I’m sad or happy it’s over. 2018 wasn’t necessarily hard – it was challenging, but it wasn’t hard. And what’s life without a little challenge?
I Used A Menstrual Cup For The First Time
On average, a woman’s period lasts anywhere from three to seven days, and they menstruate from the age of 13 until age 51. Doing the math here, that means the average woman endures about 456 periods during her lifetime – which equals roughly 2,280 days of period time through her life. That’s 6.25 years in […]
Food Is Not The Enemy
Food is not the enemy. It’s summer (yes, I’m still clutching onto it with all that I have) and it seems that everyone falls into the “gotta get a slim summer body” trap. Same, honestly. Around June I started making small changes in my diet to make it a little “healthier” and less calorie dense. […]
