Some Relief From The Flu Season!

It’s that time of the year again. That time when you try to avoid everyone with a hacking cough, sneezing and stomach bug. Cold and flu season has arrived. Some of us have been hit by it once already, but for others, it’s about prevention and being prepared for when it does hit.

It's All About The Clogs

I am a shoe-aholic with the ultimate collection of shoes. I get weak when I walk by a shoe store and find the next best thing staring back at me in the window. I wear a lot of runners, cleats (for my field sports), flats, heels for special events and sandals but I have never, ever thought that I would even look at wearing clogs as an option. Until recently…

Spring Break = Good Reads!

As we’re well into the spring break, I enjoy my free time kickin’ back with a sweet read. Although there seems to be a ton to browse through lately, I’ve had my eyes set on a book by Jodi Picoult (the author of “My Sister’s Keeper”). House Rules is Jodi Picoult’s new book, just in time for some good spring reading.

Who Wants A New Body In Time For Spring?

Who’s caught up in winter feeling like their in a major rut and there’s no real sun to be seen? Are you feeling like all we seem to do lately is hibernate in front of our TVs and feel the impact of those failed new years resolutions everyone made to get fit? Here’s another opportunity to try something new, fitness wise. I’m sure you’ve heard of the impressive book, “6 Weeks To A New Body”. It was a powerful book written by Mo Hagan, an award winning fitness trainer and Goodlife Fitness’ vice-president of operations.

Catch A Lil Bit Of The Holiday Spirit With Swarovski!

Well, there’s a bit of a holiday magic going on right now at the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto. As many of us early shoppers have seen, there’s currently a beautiful site there, the Swarovski Christmas Wish Tree. It’s breathtaking with all the gorgeous lights and crystals on it. I find myself mesmerized by it.

Twenties Girl

I’ve been fortunate to be able to relax and read while sipping on my favourite drink this summer. With the sad realization that this summer is pretty much over, it doesn’t mean that the good reads have to go away with it. I’ve had the chance to read Sophie Kinsella’s newest addition to her collection, “Twenties Girl” and to no surprise, it’s another best seller!

Summertime Entertainment Giveaway

We’re in the midst of the summer and I’m gleefully getting ready to head off for my little piece of outdoor paradise. While I’m packing the essentials for my trip, I’m also looking for a few things that will help me relax while chilling at the beach. I feel the need to escape and what else can help me do just that than some great summertime reads and a nice flick to watch when the inevitable rain drenches the cottage scene?

Summertime Shape-Up

As loyal X-Weighted fans anxiously await the return of the show to our fall schedule, we have some valuable advice from the host, Paul Plakas. I had the opportunity to ask him a couple of questions recently that I’ve seen posted both on slice.ca and socially. Most people are curious about how they can make changes that will impact their lives in a positive way.

Sunny Days Ahead!

Brace yourself: It wasn’t until my early twenties that I discovered I needed to wear sunscreen. Was I an idiot to think that I would never feel the effects of the sun? In a word: Yes. While I still manage to get some colour in the summertime, I would never go without sunscreen now because of the many health risks.

A Sister's Sacrifice

Can you imagine what it would be like if you found out you were born because you were a genetic match for a leukemia-stricken sister? Your existence would be the only way your parents could find a bone marrow donor to save her life. You would have to undergo transfusions, surgeries, and shots, even though you’re completely healthy, all before you’ve even reached your teenage years.

Travel Is Therapy

This is the time of year where we let down our hair, do our favourite summer activities, and relax. “Vacation” can mean different things to different people: a stress-relieving Caribbean retreat during our dreary winter, looking for inspiration by volunteering overseas, or an exciting trip to the Rockies, there are a lot of ways to unwind.

Shoe Collection = Very Sore Feet

Today women make a lot of impulsive purchases. I have a few collections at home: Purses (can’t have too many of those), CDs and DVDs, and my personal favourite – shoes. With so many varieties to choose from, how can we have sore feet? By now, you would think that shoe manufacturers would have their arch supports down to an art.

The Last Lecture

I wasn’t well a short time ago and while I was at home I happened to watch an episode of Oprah where they were celebrating the achievements of Dr. Oz on the show. He’s leaving Oprah to launch his new show. One of the more touching moments was when Dr. Oz referred to Randy Pausch. This father of three was a university professor dying of pancreatic cancer who was asked to do a “last lecture”.

Oh, To Be Green…

With Earth Day finally here, I always think of what changes to my life I can make to improve the way I live, both health wise and for the environment. Although we might make efforts every day to reduce our carbon footprint by trying to be more “green,” we often lose sight of how the smallest changes can make a big impact on the environment.

I recently blogged about a local Canadian active wear company that was located in Ontario. Now I’m looking west for some Canadian inspired active wear that is affordable, comfortable, and durable.
