Wellness

Well this was unexpected. All the feelings right now, with tears in my eyes. I’ve been on a roller-coaster lately. But the reason will truly shock you. In every sense of these words – it was time. A heavenly gift for my 40th birthday was to have a little time…

Since my first baby was born, I have been a hardcore fan of Weleda products because they are natural, not filled with perfume scents and work extremely well. (All Weleda products are paraben-free, preservative-free, SLS free, synthetic fragrance-free, phthalate-free and GMO-free.) I always bought Weleda for my babies and gifted Weleda products to new mamas. But imagine my utter shock to find out their full lines of…

This morning, I had the pleasure of sitting down on the Breakfast Television couch with Derick Fage to chat about feel-good gift giving. I’m all for gift giving and making my kids feel extra special on Christmas morning, but I can admit, and so can they, that we have way…

Today I spent most of my day volunteering at my boys’ elementary school in the library. I’ve been volunteering for years and I’m happy to do so. But I can tell you that today was a record high temperature for September and the school is not equipped with a/c. It…

I have been waiting to get a haircut until the weather changes because every summer, my hair gets somewhat damaged from the sun, the chlorine in the pool and anything else summer brings. But I must admit, this summer my hair has kept its shine and softness, thanks to a…

Last weekend I took a road trip to Toronto for the second annual Archangel Summit. Last year, I went with my work wife, Tanya but she wasn’t able to make it. Instead, I went with my two friends Carolina and Sazini and we decided to make the most of it and stay the…

I’m doing it again. I’m thinking too much. Yes, it’s a thing. And I can bet that most of you mamas are doing the very same thing right now. You may be enjoying your summer days with the kids but in the back of your minds, you are thinking about…
