With global mayhem, the constant stream of social media, and an inbox full of spam newsletters I’ve been feeling inundated with information. And, while it’d be great to shove my head in the sand, that’s simply not an option – […]
Patience isn’t my strong suit, so my daily commute can be painful. I noticed my stress-level would skyrocket when three songs played and I’d only moved 100m. It was sucking the life out of me – stop mocking me Blake […]
I’ve been going to Pure Barre in Kitsilano, Vancouver for a few months now and I absolutely love it. Have you tried barre? If I’m honest, I was a bit skeptical about how effective it would be. Coming from a […]
Holy sneeze-fest Batman! May and June are nutty uncomfortable for me. Seasonal allergies bring on the wheezing, the watery eyes, the itchy throat, and the general feeling of your body trying to escape itself. Erm, no thanks. Pumping myself full […]
I’m usually burning the candle at both ends, and I’m sure many of you feel the same way. I’m in the phase of my life where my decisions and actions are really shaping my future – so when opportunity knocks, […]
