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 […]

Gymshark Dreamy Leggings Review
I’ve been lusting after these leggings for so long – I was so excited about them! However u[on receiving and trying on, there are a few things I would have done differently…
What The Online Fitness Industry Won’t Tell You
I’m not a hater, I promise. I know I rag on the online fitness industry regularly, but it’s mostly because I want people to see that it’s not all as it seems. I AM part of the online fitness community (on a very teeny scale), and I appreciate most of the things that bringing health […]
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 […]
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. […]
Tips For Handling Cravings
I’ll start off by saying that this post isn’t going to go exactly how you would expect it. If you know me at all, or have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that I am a huge advocate of balance, and not being too hard on yourself in the diet department (or […]
Dead Butt Syndrome And How To Combat It
“Dead butt syndrome”, or “Dormant bottom syndrome”, although both sound like something your parents made up to scare you out of sitting all day, is a real phenomenon that personal trainers, physiotherapists, and kinesiologists are working to combat in patients every day. Gluteal Anemia, the more scientific name for dead butt syndrome (DBS – lol… […]
