When I turned 31 I got hit by a case of adult-onset acne that left me feeling defeated, homely and in pain. As a teen, I had fairly normal acne, with a few breakouts before my menstrual cycle would begin, but nothing like what I had been dealing with over the past year. Every morning I would wake … [Read more...]
ProNamel to Ward Away Acid Wear
Canadians are trying to eat healthy and including more fruits and salads into our diets. But did you know that even healthy foods can be acid-rich, and that our modern acid-rich diet is a risk factor in tooth wear?

Skinny Chews – to Curb Your Cravings
I work in an office building that is a five minute walk from the Eaton Centre. For a born shopper, this is a hazardous location, and the opening of different stores has been quite dangerous. A few years ago there was the new Winners across the street; Homesense quick on its heels. Two years ago a J … [Read more...]

It’s All Downhill From Here
I am a prairie girl at heart: I walked backwards to school so the bone-chilling winter winds wouldn't freeze my face; I had indoor recesses when the temperature dropped to an inhumane low; I hated winter and viewed it a season to be endured rather than enjoyed. Then I scored a BC boy … [Read more...]
Hell Froze Over! I’m Taking YOGA!
I have a love/hate relationship with yoga. What I love is the hilarious memory I have of taking a class with my mother, and of us getting kicked out for the inability to hold in our laughter as the inevitable farting kicked in. (We took two classes and decided that we'd rather just watch TV). I … [Read more...]
