Welcome to Part One of the Living Healthy in the Real World Guide to Budgeting mini-series! When I wrote about my Raw Food Diet, I was surprised at the vast number of people who thoughts that spending $230 on food for one month was a lot of money. This was a very reasonable amount for [...]
The sisterroomate left in October to visit the father dear (he’s working with the United Nations in Cambodia) and to explore Southeast Asia. She was supposed to be the sistertraveller only until about a month ago, but then she scored an internship working with some kind of non-governmental organization, helping war-affected children in Sri Lanka [...]
It’s time for another mini-series! As the possession date for my condo looms ever closer (mid-April! Right in the middle of exams! I’m, um, all about the timing ), I find myself feeling the tightening on my wallet. But just because I have to count my pennies, doesn’t mean I intend on being cheap- just [...]
When Margaret first contacted me about Yumpeez, I was excited for two reasons: first, this snack is made right here in Manitoba, and second, I got to receive samples of Yumpeez to review in person rather than getting the samples mailed to me. It was so lovely to be able to meet with her! I’m used [...]
Not this past weekend, but the weekend before, the mother dear and I took the Friday and Monday off work and drove to Riding Mountain to stay at a resort for a few days. We just wanted some time out of the city; a little mini-break holiday to relax and be pampered. And pampered we [...]
My previous attempts to post videos have failed miserably. Maybe my camera isn’t compatible with WordPress, or maybe I’m just not technologically savvy at all, but in any case, my blogging has been strictly of the linguistic text variety with the occasional photograph. No videos to speak of around here. However! All of that is [...]
On February 1st, after my month-long Raw Food Challenge in which I posted my food intake for every single day of January, I started a brand new food blog: Health Writer Eats* (Amusingly enough, the awesome Mary started a food blog on February 1st, too! And hers includes pretty photographs). Health Writer Eats is a [...]
National Eating Disorders Awareness Week was from February 21st to 27th. I missed it. Well, no: I didn’t really miss it. I only found out that it was National Eating Disorders Awareness Week very last-minute, and I already had our Grocery Shopping mini-series set up, so I postponed discussing eating disorders. At the time, I [...]
Don’t forget to answer this month’s poll about lifestyle activity! MaraNatha No-Stir Creamy Almond Butter What can I say about this nut butter? It is perfection. Case and point: the day that I received it, I polished off 1/3 of the jar. And that was with a spoon. The rest of the jar barely made [...]
Bordeaux International sent me this book to read and review, and I must say that after reading a few of Tosca’s books- I think this is the third one that I’ve been given to review- I really quite like her. Her books are directed more for women who are in their 30′s-60′s and who have [...]
