I never knew I was a bully until I heard how I talk to myself. I owe myself an apology. What does your inner bully say and what’s something you can tell yourself after having those thoughts that will turn that bully talk around. Find mine in the comments!

DID YOU KNOW? When you mix cacao (the main ingredient in chocolate as we know it) with dairy products, it nullifies almost all the nutritional benefits on a chemical level. So if you’re going to eat chocolate, go DARK! The highest percentage you can tolerate!

Remember to be mindful when you’re sitting in front of a fabulous dinner tonight. Shut off the tv, put the phones away, sit at a table with your loved ones and relax! There’s no hurry... Happy Thanksgiving weekend Canada!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada! Having positive thoughts is not only good for the brain but it’s also good for your body. It reduces stress which makes digestion easier. So let’s go around our internet-based dinner table and tell us what you’re thankful for this thanksgiving weekend.... Find my gratitude in the comments!

What's the one thing you can do to cool yourself down on an unseasonably hot day in September? No...not sitting on the deck with a drink... Taking the MOST AMAZING cold shower EVER!... If this sounds like torture for you, I was the same. I HATED cold water. I'm very sensitive to temperature changes and cold water was definitely the enemy. Until one day a few years back when temperatures soared and I couldn't handle it anymore...I took my first INTENTIONAL cold shower. And it was amazing. Now, cold showers are the only thing fitness and health enthusiasts talk about! So here are just a few of the many health benefits of cold showers: 1. Reduce stress 2. Improves your skin and nails 3. Improves your circulation 4. Improves your immunity 5. Helps drain the lymphatic system 6. Speeds up muscle recovery 7. Helps relieve the symptoms of depression 8. Improves your willpower! 9. Will wake you up in the morning... 10. And put you to sleep at night Challenge yourself to a 30 day cold shower challenge! All you have to do is take 1-3 minutes at the end of your shower to finish up (or just stand) in the stream of the coldest water you can tolerate. So yes! That means you can start off with warm water and gradually reduce the temperature. I absolutely love taking cold showers now...your body adapts to what it's being dealt. Reap the benefits especially on unseasonably hot day in September. I'm so ready for fall. Can you go EXTREMELY cold? Or are you like me and can only go half way? Let me know!
