So much has changed in the last couple weeks. It’s hard to wrap my head around, but I’m doing my best to stay positive and present. One thing I know for sure is that I’m having to start getting really creative with activities for my toddler. With everyone practicing ‘social distancing’ and staying at home […]

We’ve got a new section in Sharon that I’m so excited to talk about. When I go grocery shopping in stores I’m not familiar with, I look to see if they have a wellness/organic section. Once I’ve shopped the parameter of the grocery store for fresh product, the wellness section is my go-to for most

This is the time of year when most people get the travel bug. The winter seems never ending and we are yearning for some Vitamin D. If you are traveling in the coming weeks here are some of my go-to travel tips. Strengthen Your Immune System When I know I’m going to be travelling, especially

Unfortunately, I’ve had to cut eggs from my diet for the time being which I will elaborate on another day. This meant it was time to find alternative breakfast options. So, I turned

This time of year is all about pumpkin. Pumpkin flavoured everything lines pastry cases, is featured on coffee bar menus, and of course pumpkin is used for fall décor.
