The last couple days were very nut- and grain-heavy, so I wanted to make today more green-focused. Morning snack: 1 apple, an organic Raw Revolution Organic Greens Super Food Bar (apple cinnamon flavour), and a handful of Go Raw spirulina Super Chips. Lunch: Salad (mixed organic spring greens, 1/4 avocado,…
I unfortunately lost track of when and how much I ate yesterday, but this is roughly what I had (I'll do a better job of exact details for the rest of this week, I hope!): - Lots of oat cakes - Lots of kale chips - A couple bowls salad…

I've got a couple of reviews for you today! The companies are unrelated but seeing as they are both skin care products, I figured I'd write about them both in the same blog post. Juni by Xango This soap is marketed as a vegan gentle body bar. It has a…
I used to wear my pedometer on a daily basis. I loved it. We had such memorable times together. Then we decided to take a break. It's not you, it's me! I felt it was necessary to explore other avenues of exercise besides walking. After enough time had passed, I…

It all went beautifully, even though a number of things occurred which could have potentially had disastrous consequences, including: The hair stylist burning off an entire lock of The Bride's hair with the hair curler. The MOB arriving at the church 15 minutes after…
