A couple weeks ago, someone at the office introduced me to the idea of the “Not-To-Do” list. Basically you write down all of your bad habits and time-suckers so that you can see them listed right there in front of you. Three of the items on my list, for example, are “drop my things all [...]
About a year ago, I decided that I wanted to get into advertising. I think it was probably around the time I saw Art & Copy for the first time (which Mr. Science and I saw again yesterday. It’s an excellent film). I was a Rhetoric and Communications student; I love words and languages and [...]
After working from home for so long, it’s a really nice change to go into the office! But that also means that by the time I arrive home from work, I’m beat. And while cleaning is important to me, I also tend to pile my stuff up on the nearest empty surface. Luckily Mr. Science [...]
This is my 16th day on the Ultimate Nutrition Challenge and my detox month. So far it’s been going great – I’ve lost 5 pounds and 1.3 % body fat! You can read about what I’ve been eating by visiting my Health Writer Eats food diary blog. But it occurred to me the other day [...]
I recently started on the final course of my nutrition diploma program, Sport & Fitness Nutrition. I have three months left to complete the course, and then I have to write an exam for it, and then I have to complete my final exam for the entire course in order to get my diploma. At [...]

Ultimately [...]
On Sunday morning, I woke up to an awful email from my website provider, announcing that my account had been suspended. And they would delete my account permanently if I didn’t resolve the issue within 10 days. Eeeeek! I know it’s just the Internet, it’s just a blog, but it still made me really upset. [...]
Where have I been this week? Somehow it’s Friday and I haven’t posted once! The big issue here is that our Internet has gone bonkers (to use the technical term ). I’m not sure if it’s because Mr. Science and I have a desktop computer and two laptops between us which are running just about [...]
My contract with Fruit Share is almost up (just about a week left!), and I’d like to take some of the skills I’ve learned through Fruit Share and apply them to everyday life. Specifically, preserving and canning fruits and vegetables at home. I had never canned anything before I started working with Fruit Share this [...]
It seems years and years ago when I first met Nicole and we had our nutrition consults. She was my nutritionist. Then she became my friend. And then we started The Food Label Movement together. Thanks to Nicole, I found out how I could take courses and get my own diploma to be a Certified [...]
