There has been some serious buzz around Collagen Powder. I myself was curious, so I got my hands on some Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides to see what it was all about. Did I see results right away? No. Did I see results a month in? YES. Collagen is not only great for your skin, hair, and nails, but it’s also loaded with protein, reduces inflammation and is really healing for the gut. Today, the main focus is why and how it helps with our skin. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body made up of amino-acids: glycine, proline, hydroxyproline,…
I had the wonderful opportunity to be treated by Harbour Meals with a 5 day meal plan including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Meal delivery can be extremely helpful when it comes to maintaining a balanced, healthy, busy, on-the-go lifestyle, it’s also fitting for people who don’t like cooking! Harbour Meals accommodated my needs based on my food preferences, diet restrictions and daily calorie count – the ordering process was easy breezy. Each meal was full of taste and didn’t leave me feeling hungry or unsatisfied which is key as I usually crave something sweet after lunch and dinner. How…

My fellow food inspiring friend, Amita (FoodGlow) is sharing a delicious smoothie recipe with us today! This recipe is a great way to start your day. Breakfast has become my favourite meal of the day, but for some breakfast doesn’t exist. It is so important to feed your body within 2 hours MAX of waking up. Breakfast fuels the body and brain after an overnight fast and kick starts your metabolism for the day. Many studies show that people who eat breakfast tend to weigh less as it reduces hunger throughout the day, making your food choices better. Some features…
I wanted to share a few staple items that have become apart of my daily routine and really compliment my summer 2017 vibes. Here are some of my Summer Favourites: Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow – This stuff is seriously amazing. It’s light weight, gives a natural, healthy glow but also smooths and evens out your skin tone, ALL while protecting your skin with SPF 35. On a good skin day it’s all I use. Marcelle is also hypo-allergenic which is key for me when buying face products. I bought the bottle I am using now back in December and…
First off, I have to say this summer has been UNREAL and second off, how is it already the middle of July?! It’s really true when they say time flies when you’re having fun. Summer for me, is the best time of the year. There is so much to do and and so much to see. The past few weekends have been a lot of fun but a bit of a right off when it comes to my healthy habits. Between the cottage, Stampede (holy f) and camping I have been eating and drinking a lot more than the norm…

Is your mouth watering at the title of this post… mine is! Just kidding, I’m actually enjoying one of these bad boys as I type, they are delightful. The best part about these power balls is that one actually does the trick. I usually have an issue with getting a little too excited when good snacks come in my sight, my portion control goes right out the window. It’s a work in progress and that’s why making more fulfilling snacks like these amaze-balls is key. Instead of buying expensive protein/power balls, make your own! That way you know what’s in…
STUDIO REVIEW: YYC CYCLE My first studio review!! I thought it was appropriate to start sharing my feedback/favourites since I have made my rounds in the Calgary fitness community, so here’s for you YYC readers! When I moved to Calgary last year, my mission to find go-to an enjoyable and challenging sweat session led me to try a number of gyms and studios. I love getting out of my comfort zone, meeting new people and challenging myself! Luckily, I had a friend introduce me to YYC Cycle. They have a deal for new riders, 3 weeks for $65 so I thought, what…
