Let’s chat about detoxing. Whenever you hear the term, what do you think of? If you’re like me, your mind probably goes to food – or lack thereof. Maybe you think of: juice cleanses liquid diets lemon water with cayenne cabbage soup chlorella tablets laying off the sugar, caffeine and booze All these things have become pretty […]
Back in 2011 I found myself ready to trade in my first car, a black 2-door Honda Civic, for a newer, less university student-esque model. I did my research, had many conversations with a dude at work who was super into cars, and eventually narrowed down the choices. The final pick was a Toyota Rav-4 – […]
One of the questions I’m often asked is how many hours per week I spend working on the blog. The answer is approximately 10, depending on how much work I’m doing for other sites and whether there are additional special projects happening such as e-books or coaching programs. The follow-up question to that answer is […]
Winner, winner, I have your new favourite dinner!!! Well, at least a contender for your favourites. I was recently asked which meal of the day I look forward to most, and I couldn’t pick just one. Breakfast is awesome, especially after big workouts where you feel as though you’ve conquered the world. Lunch is fantastic, especially when […]
I’m jumping on the turmeric latte bandwagon and never getting off. My latte-loving friend and former roommate Jess of Laces and Lattes will likely send me a virtual smack across the head for making this statement, but as a non-coffee drinker, the latte has never really been a beverage I’ve swooned over. Even when it comes to […]
Ever since starting this blog in my early 20s, I’ve been incredibly fascinated by health, nutrition and fitness. This interest has been the biggest driver behind my decisions to enrol in the fitness and nutrition certification programs I’ve taken on so far, and it’s also one of the reasons this blog exists today. After all, I’m sure […]
Happy February, my friends! Those of you who read my blog regularly might be thinking “Wait, it’s the beginning of the month and this post is supposed to be about Angela’s 3 goals for February. WHAT is she doing for February?!” Well I’m sorry to disappoint (although I’m about 99.999% sure none of you were actually […]
Throughout my triathlon training, Saturdays have always been long ride days. My time on the bike (usually between 3.5 to 4.5 hours) is typically chased with a transition run (40-60ish mins) that starts within 10 minutes of finishing. The idea is to simulate what needs to be done in a race, and to get my legs […]
Oh kombucha, how I love thee. Your bubbles, your kinda-sweet, kinda vinegar-y taste, your endless flavours, and your gut-friendliness. I could drink you all day long. Your only fault? Your price in grocery stores. $4 a bottle? Really? That’s a little crazy – almost like Starbucks crazy. A girl’s gotta eat, and a kombucha-drinking habit […]
