I started listening to binaural beats about 2 years ago. I didn’t have any expectations, I just randomly (intuitively) clicked on it looking for something to help me concentrate. I’ve always been one of those people that has a hard time reading/studying because my mind wanders off and then 10 minutes later, I realize I […]
Are You Using Humour to Hide Complicated Emotions?
Are you using your sense of humour to hide behind complicated emotions? The short answer is: Maybe. And a lot of people are. I tried to get away from always posting jokes about nutrition and wellness on my blog because I felt like humour was kind of a facade for someone that isn’t ready to […]
What Does Kombucha do for Your Health?
I get asked this a lot because I’m often sippin’ on booch. It’s fermented tea with probiotic benefits. It’s made with a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture/Colony of Bacteria and Yeast) that proliferate by eating raw cane sugar. Not all SCOBY’s contain the same strains of bacteria. Generally you would see: Acetobacter, Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, Zygosaccharomyces, Gluconacetobacter. […]
Clean Camping
8 Ways to Reduce Your Environmental Footprint While You’re in the Wild Whelp guys, today is my birthday so I wanted to talk about something I’ve grown increasingly passionate about to celebrate. This past weekend, I went camping out at Francois Lake in British Columbia with a group of people I didn’t really know. What […]
Soberchella
If you follow my Instagram, it’s not news that I’ve quit drinking. It’s been 4 weeks now so I’m reviewing the experience thus far. I’ve stopped drinking as a part of a “cleanse” several times now but in a temporary situation you have an internal countdown like “okay only 17 more days until I can […]
I deleted Instagram
Well, I deleted the app. Not my account. It’s not permanent or anything, but here’s what happened: I deleted Facebook a couple years ago for a while because of the negativity and I really enjoyed my friends and family being forced to call me on my birthday. I enjoyed that I didn’t have to keep […]
Peanut Butter and Matcha Nice Cream
Weekends are for nice cream bowls! One of those recipes that hits you by surprise! I did not expect this to taste as good as it did. Like, I know it would be good but not UNREAL. What a treat. It somehow reminded me of pistachio ice cream?
Truffled Mushroom Soup
I have a mushroom soup recipe on here already but that’s more of a fluffy light tasting soup for the summertime and this is more of a strong tasting and hearty soup for the winter. I’ve been so busy for the last few months that I started to lose touch with myself and my interests […]
Amaranth Breakfast Bowl
Amaranth is the powerhouse of all ancient grains (pseudograin), and a highly underused one at that. Not only is it a complete protein but rich in fibre, antioxidants and minerals such as manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and iron. I’m kicking myself for avoiding grains for so many years knowing the benefits now but it’s never too […]
Broccoli “Cheddar” Soup (Paleo/Vegan)
There’s a full moon tonight. Today, I have felt the wrath of people who are “lunatics” so to speak. My emotional status is at about a 1 out of 10. I usually keep this stuff pretty vague but let me tell you what happened. I was driving to work out in the West end of […]
