I’ve been in Alberta for five winters now. I moved out here at the beginning of December. It was met with endless commentary of how silly I was to move out west during the frigid Edmonton winters. What I’ve learned since being here though, is that Winter in Alberta is equal to cottage country in […]

Complete a whole 90 – in other words, eat whole30 for 90 days. It was an ambitious thing to put on my 29 x 30 list, but I was convinced I could do it. I also knew that whole 30 tends to be the only eating plan that actually helps me control my weight. Here’s […]

10 things I learned from 90 days of whole30

The front cover of the whole30 book I used to follow my whole 90. It features a deep pan with a red coloured soup filled with vegetables.

This past weekend we headed off to Osoyoos for my sister’s super epic 30th birthday finale. On our last night, we decided to flick the switch on the patio lights and look up at the stars. To say it was spectacular might not fully capture how incredibly vast the stars looked that night. It just […]

If you’re looking for an easy breakfast option for whole30, look no further! At the beginning of the year, I made a gutsy goal to try to do whole30 again, but this time for 90 days. For me, having restrictions on what is allowed keeps me healthy. Otherwise, I have absolutely zero self-restraint. A few […]

Happy New Year from me and my babe! I hope you have the most wonderful, laughter-filled, loving 2019! I can’t wait to see what this new year has in store and continue to adventure and live life to the fullest! This year we embraced the period of life we’re in and celebrated New Years at […]

Iceland is easily one of my most favourite countries I have visited. Not only was it my first solo trip, I also ambitiously decided to travel around Iceland’s entire ring road in just 4 days. While I would definitely recommend additional days, if you don’t have them it’s still worth the adventure to cram it […]

Back in my college days, shortly after I had broken up with my boyfriend at the time, I found myself without a car and needing to get to work. And while I didn’t have a bike that I could ride to work at the time, I did have my rollerblades. Thankfully, too, I lived along […]

You know those hobbies that you don’t quite love, but can’t get enough of at the same time? That’s how I feel about running. I don’t overly love the act of running, yet I can’t seem to stop signing up for runs, this time the Lululemon 10k, and pushing myself to improve my times. After […]

I’ll be the first to admit, I have quite the rollercoaster of emotions on any given day. I can go through a week feeling amazing about life and then live the next week absolutely miserable. It is a daily battle for me to choose happiness and choose to love the life I’m living right now. […]

42.2 km. That’s a lot. The length of a marathon to be exact.   For whatever reason, a marathon has always held such high prestige in my brain. The people who can run a marathon are superhumans. And therefore, it’s always been an overall bucket list item of mine to run a whole marathon.  But, let’s […]

I never really understood the importance of professional organizations, so naturally, I had never thought to submit for professional awards. I was a part of one throughout college with a student membership and yet I never took advantage of any of the benefits it offered. When I started my current job, my boss was big […]

While I was back in Ontario surprising my dad for his 60th birthday, I was able to sneak in going back to my church for the Sunday service. I know this probably isn’t what my sister intended when she put ‘Go to church’ on my 27 x 28 list, but I’m going to count it anyway. […]
