Hello Beautiful people!!                    How are you all doing? I've missed my little community here but I really needed the time away. I've done a ton of reflecting about me and I found I really haven't resolved some serious issues with my thoughts and my self confidence. So, I finally made the time

Happy Tuesday folks!              Hope everything is going well in your neck of the woods! Today I've come to share with you the reason I'm going on a little vacation from my blog. Lately I've had this overwhelming pull to unplug. I spend a lot of time online and it's becoming too much. I find that I'm forcing myself to pump out

Holy! It's been awhile, hasn't it? I had good intentions then life started ramping up the speed a little bit:) Things I've had to deal with been up to lately: Fllings at the dentist - I was there for 3 hours on Tuesday. Ya, great fun! I injured my back - Third round of What's My Name Workout and bam a shooting pain ran from my lower back down my whole leg. And being the stubborn person that I

Howdy folks!!              How are we all doing this April 5th? Relaxed after the weekend? I am in desperate need of a long weekend as Saturday and Sunday just seem to vanish into thin air! January to April we don't have any stat holidays in BC and so Easter can't come fast enough:) This weekend I hung out with my mom and did

Happy Thursday!!!                Hope everyone's week is going well! I rode my bike into work yesterday. It was great except for the terrential downpour which meant a lot of water sprayed my way from trucks and semi's. I was wearing rain gear but I wore runners and they were absolutely soaked by the end of the trip. I was

Happy Tuesday Folks!          Hope you had a great weekend! Mine was pretty chill but with lots of fun stuff mixed in:) Friday night we opted to stay in and relax. I look forward to Friday nights where we aren't on a schedule and we don't have to worry about getting up early the next morning. Well at least for me as Ry has been working a lot of Saturdays

Happy Friday folks!!!          TGIF is all I have to say:) Hope you have some awesome adventures planned for this weekend. I plan on getting my act in gear and making some hummus and other awesome eats to last me into next week. I have not been planning very well and so I pay the price time wise (as I need to cook more in the evenings) and budget wise as

Happy Wednesday folks,            This week is flying by! Hopefully you are getting to see some Spring weather in your area. It's stunning here today but then it's supposed to rain, rain, and rain. I've decided to skip the gym and get in a good run instead! Okay now onto some decor DIY. I love watching shows where they take simple, everyday

Hello all,            Happy Tuesday! Hope you had a swell weekend. Mine was filled with lots of fun projects and even a little sunshine:) I cleaned up my back yard as I had given up racking leaves since my neighbor's tree kept blowing them into our lawn all fall. Now that the trees are barren, it was my chance. My compost bin is loaded and my

This video brought tears to my eyes. What loyalty and love this dog shows to his ailing friend. I'm happy to see the update that both dogs are receiving care in nearby clinics. I know there are many more animals to be rescued so I pray for them just as I do for the whole of Japan. I hope you enjoyed seeing some GOOD news this Friday morning! I'll be back

Happy Tuesday all!!           Hope you had a great weekend. I was geeking it up this weekend for my exam that was on Sunday. The exam was easier than I thought it was going to be so that was nice:) I feel so free now, a natural high! Just in time for my birthday week:) Ha! Well my birthday is today but I'm celebrating all the rest of the week too! You

Hello Everyone!             I'm sure you know by now the devastation that has and is still hitting Japan. If you have not heard, a shocking 8.9 magnitude earthquake rocked this island nation. This in turn cause a tsunami to pound the shorelines and cause enormous destruction. Not only has Japan had to face the tsunami, a tsunami warning

Howdy folks!! Happy Friday. I do not remember Mon, Tues, or Wednesday...it's all a blur. It is fun when the end of the week feels like a Tuesday:) I'm not just crazy at work, I've got my organic chem final in two weeks. Eek!! I'm trying to start early and avoid the major cram sessions that I usually ended up doing in university. It's good practice as I will not be cramming for ND school.

Hello all!!         Hope you have had a great week so far! I'm smokin' busy this time of year as this is when we experience our big orders at work. Days are flying by which is nice:) But I wanted to share with you the experience and swag I received at The Wellness Show on Sunday. I was quite impressed by the show!

Oh baby should you ever bath in salt. But hold it right there! Don't start pouring your precious truffle salt or Himalayan salt into your bath water. For once there is a cheaper option available! I'm talking about MgS04, magnesium sulfate, or best known as, Epsom Salt! The name came from the town of Epsom in Surrey, England where the salt was distilled from springs. So let's break it down

Happy Tuesday all,           How was Valentine's night? Mine  was, well, blah. We ended up having a little "tiff" and so it wasn't the most happiest night ever. But hey, that's life and you grow from it. It's all good now, just in case you were wondering:) We are having dinner #2 tonight and who can argue against that:) Besides I'm excited to

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!!             I know its a commercial holiday, but it doesn't hurt to have more love in the world right? I think Valentines should be more than giving your sweetheart a chocolate heart, it should be about loving ourselves and all the special people in our lives. That includes you my lovely readers♥ Ry and

Howdy folks,            I apologize for the absence as I have had an insane week. I was asked last minute to attend a trade show for two days and then yesterday I was at work from 7AM to 7:30PM working on a report. Plus there is some sad news regarding Oddie that is really tearing me apart. Oddie has disappeared. We let him out a couple of days

Happy Friday!! Friday's never get old do they? I think that I'm going on a roadtrip today. We are waiting on my SIL's boyfriend to get off work which he says is 3:30 but he never knows for sure. We've decided that 5pm is the cut-off point. If they aren't able to make it before then well too bad. It is still winter in the mountains so I don't want to be driving at 9 at night in snow and

Holy, where did January go? I don't know about you but I'm excited to move on to a new month! This means: 1. Spring is coming. Even the groundhog said so which is a highly reputable source, in my opinion:) Sorry Eastern Canada and US, there must have been some sort of glitch for you guys:( 2. Can start dreaming about the garden 3. It's now T - 6months until I say goodbye to my job and say hello

Hey Folks!!          How was your weekend? I had a pretty mellow weekend. This seems to be the theme of my weekends in January. Although I did....  Get a great visit in with my grandma (she's doing a lot better:),  lock my keys in the car at the Seniors home (begged my cousin to drive me home)  had lunch with a bunch of my aunts and cousin

No you aren't seeing things. I am actually writing two posts in one day. Strange yes but I feel the urge to write so I'm going for it! I finally made it into the closest health food store today. I needed some goodies and well, I ended up with a whole lot more! Although I did draw the line at the $15 bottle of macadamia nut oil..next time! The biggest collard leaves I've ever seen!! These were
