Whoop, it’s the last day of the month! I thought this day would never come. Really, I didn’t. After this evening’s hot yin class at Moksha Yoga NDG I will have completed 60 straight days of yoga. Wow, even writing that boggles my mind. I feel like I’ve gone through a meat grinder and been…
I ate this for breakfast yesterday morning, had it again for lunch… and can just about guarantee that I’ll be enjoying it again today. It’s just that good. Now I know what you’re thinking, ‘dairy-free butter chicken? It has to taste off.’ It doesn’t. I had my fair share of authentic butter chicken while I…
There are so many things that I love about this meal. I’ve wondered if grains were bothersome to my body for awhile but the reaction was so faint, so barely there, that I didn’t pay much attention to it. The key to becoming the healthy, balanced being that we all strive for is listening to…
A girl’s gotta treat herself every once in awhile. Whether it’s a weekend retreat, getting a pedicure, or an elaborate haircut, doing something kind to ourselves makes us feel good, relaxed and special. It doesn’t have to be huge. Heck, I consider taking myself out to tea and reading for a couple of hours in…
The weather’s been strange here. Wait, let me rephrase that… I’m not used to living in a snow-free city in November. The sun is shining, I find myself wearing light jackets, sweaters and I even got away with wearing shorts on Monday. Shorts in November… that’s madness! As a result, today’s cleanse recipe has bright…
Did you like beans when you were a kid? Gosh, I hated them. They were so… granola. I refused to eat them on the basis that my Dad didn’t like them. Same goes with beets. That man hates his beets. Instead, my proteins of choice were things like turkey, kielbasa, fried eggs and; my favorite…
Happy Monday! I know, Monday’s aren’t exactly known for rainbows, butterflies and happy times, but I have a brand new recipe for you… that has to count for something, right? I’m really focusing on quick, easy and nourishing entrees this week. I’ve come up with 5 gluten-free meal recipes that will make you a believer…
Cleanse day 5. Oh heck ya. We’ve done a full day of liquids, ate more veggies than we ever thought possible, and resisted cravings left, right and sideways. Nicely done! Make sure to check back over the weekend to view the meal plan for week two of our cleanse. Cravings got you down? You’re not…
In October, I embarked on a self-guided 30 day yoga challenge to help sooth my emotions surrounding our recent move to Montreal. My intention for the month was to grow roots in this new city, begin to feel like I belong somewhere, let go of my fears and embrace the longing I had to return…
We’re on to day 3 of our two week cleanse. How’s everyone feeling? I know you may be trailing behind due to having to get groceries and prepare yourself mentally, but whatever day you’re on, even if you intend to start next week, we’re in it together. Over 100 of us have committed to this…
