During my commute the other day, I saw this sign on the subway: Few thoughts crossed my mind: a.) FINALLY a hospital is doing this landmark study on diabetes, in Toronto. b.) I can save them the suspense – it does help. c.) Changing what you eat can affect a LOT of things – I feel like … Continue reading »

Good Thursday Morning Everyone! I’d like to give a huge shout out to Toronto’s favorite *and best* pint sized food critic Ryan Storm for featuring Doug ’s food *and myself* on his blog! Ryan, and his sibs, are awesome because you would never see them in an ad like this: In fact, Ryan can likely tell … Continue reading »

If you follow me on Instagram , or twitter, you likely saw this quote yesterday: I came across this quote while doing my morning blog reading. *Also, in my reading, came across this gem from Yoni Freedhoff – Coca Cola has actually lost it.*  I decided to explore this simple, but profound, quote a bit more… … Continue reading »

Good day readers! I realize how long it’s been since my last post – egads! Where has life been taking me?! One fun thing I’ve been doing is helping Doug at the Brickworks Farmer’s Market (come and get some grub, every Saturday!) But still no excuse. Back to biznass. A seemingly casual comment made by … Continue reading »

Resolutions..bah humbug. I hate strongly dislike making resolutions. It’s as if on New Year’s day I’m supposed to sit down and say “ok, what’s wrong with me? and what do I need to change?” Am I that bad of a person? Do I really have so many things wrong with me?! I’m fine! And who likes … Continue reading »

Christmas day has come and gone and admittedly, I am feeling pretty awful about all of the decadent food I ate. Yes you can eat a plant based diet and eat a bunch of crappy food over the holidays, quite easily in fact! I need to regroup and get back on track, for real. But … Continue reading »

Yes, I agree; two months IS an unacceptable amount of time in between blogs posts. So what’s new and exciting? TONS! Ok, not tons, but I have been getting into some fun, new things. Love. I found a new thing that I love. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough (like, super lucky) to be … Continue reading »

My intention was to blog everyday of my last cleanse as it happened…and then life happened and I found myself after busy days tired and snuggled into bed with my journal at night. So let’s do a re-cap of the last three days and a quick catch up. I started every day of the last part … Continue reading »

Oye, readers, day three was a doozy. People equate detoxing mostly with the body but let me tell you, your emotions can get right on board with that and purge. Big time. All those times something ticked you off and you shrugged it off or anytime you wanted to complain about something but you sucked … Continue reading »

FYI..C.O.T.C. = Cleaning Out The Closet So I have survived almost two days with NO COFFEE. For real. I decided not to have my gasoline tea (dandelion, artichoke, and cleavers) this morning and instead started my day with a liter of pure water with the juice of 1/2 a lemon. If you don’t have a juicer, … Continue reading »
