MIND. BODY. SOUL.
Society and media has made it an assumption that we need to work out a million hours a day and week to have the perfect body. That we need cleanses and only eat raw food. Never even sniff a donut. Can drive us all a little batty, don't you think? It's great to care about fitness ...
All of a sudden the temps shift into summer, and you think - but what about Spring? Summer comes in with a heat wave, a wave of feelings, memories, and adventures to be had. And then you step outside, and think - oh crap it's Hot. The city is sweltering, and every step you take (every ...
Don't drown in the madness of your daily life. Don't let yourself eat your feelings. Drink your frustrations. Sleep away your sorrow. Don't let yourself become a shell of yourself just going through the motions of your life. It would be a sad, sad, world if we all went through life this way. There are days ...
Ever been shopping and pick up a packaged good and look at the back and wonder, whoa? Why so many ingredients? What is that word? It’s kind of scary to think what goes into some of the food we eat - with or without realizing it. Over the past few years, especially since being gluten ...

Written by Contributing Blogger, Audrea Laffely Have you ever gotten home after a long day, opened the fridge and stared longingly into it, hoping that some pre-made meal would jump out at you?

Our society has made us worry about every little morsel that goes into our mouths. How many calories is in that bite of cake? Can I afford the calories to eat out today? How many sugars are in that drink? If I have wine instead of an appetizer will my calorie count max out? Does that ...
I start the day with hot water and lemon. But then I'm constantly running around, like a chicken with its head cut off. From the gym to a meeting to after-work obligations, or perhaps just milling about. Since I'm gluten free (and typically dairy free)...and not from choice, leaving food to chance isn't an option. ...
Because making lunch for the week shouldn't be a daily chore. And meal prepping sounds so "trendy" I get it, but it really does help. Imagine taking a couple hours one day, and not worrying about meals for the rest of the week? Kind of awesome. Because really, who has time every morning to make ...
Written by blogging contributor, Sonia Sahota. It’s that time of year again – when you take a stroll down main street.. passing local coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques and smell sweet apple-cinnamon pastries wafting through the air.
