Earth Day is definitely one of my favourite holidays of the year. I think it also has to do with the fact that when April 22nd rolls around it also means that warmer days are upon us… well except maybe this year. Nevertheless, it’s a day where I like to take stock of what I’m [...]

I’ve always wanted a KitchenAid Stand Mixer but the price was always an issue. We’ve been checking sales lately and hit the jackpot last weekend on The Shopping Channel when it was a Showstopper deal.

When I was younger, I was all about band t-shirts and graphic skate t-shirts. Today, it’s mostly blank t-shirts and ones supporting causes, where proceeds go to charities I respect. What kind of t-shirts do you wear? What causes do you actively support (other than the Locally-made cause ;) Do you feel like you do enough to affect change in your world?

My girl Maya had a bad day. She has epilepsy and had a really long seizure Wednesday afternoon. It wasn’t the first time, nor will it be the last time. I knew this though when I signed the adoption papers. Because of her medical condition – and because she’s a great dog, I dote on her and take extra special care of her. I’d like to dedicate this post to my “niece” Cairo. Cairo was my sister’s boyfriend’s Golden Retriever. She died this afternoon at 4:00PM surrounded by love.

I started doing yoga. I’d never practiced yoga before. I know, I know, I’m extremely late to the “yoga bandwagon” but I’m nevertheless thrilled and excited about how much I like it… and how good it burns. And yes, only now am I discovering the amazing benefits of yoga. I also better understand why the need for proper attire to practice yoga. I have an even greater appreciation for the companies who have designed and who manufacture such awesome quality apparel right here in Canada! My personal favs are ones made from ethically sourced fabrics, made from bamboo, organic cotton, soy or hemp. I came across so many other made in Canada fitness apparel manufacturers or retailers too. You have to look!
