A blog about nutrition, fitness, and goal setting strategies to help you live your happiest, most fulfilled life.
As a girl who grew up in the Middle East and lived in California for nearly 2 years prior to where I am now, I certainly don’t need snow for it to feel like the holidays. That said, while I know the holidays have passed (so sad!) I’m still all for using snowflakes on my […]
It’s Christmas Eve Eve, and I’m doing a little happy dance over here because I’m officially on holidays! You can be sure that said happy dance is being done in my cozy PJs and slippers, which I just might stay in all day long because hey, isn’t that what are holidays for!? Speaking of PJs, […]
Hi there, friends! We’re in the final week before Christmas, and despite not being physically near my family this year, I’ve been doing what I can to make things feel festive. Watching Christmas movies on Netflix, attending virtual Zoom holiday parties with friends and co-workers, listening to holiday playlists, wearing Christmas pajamas, and of course, […]
I’ve been bringing a ton of holiday cards your way lately, but today let’s shift gears a bit and talk about gift tags and packaging! Friends, I get positively giddy about gift wrapping. It’s one of my favourite holiday traditions, and this year – this past weekend specifically – I had a ton of fun […]
Yesterday while scrolling through my card photos, it occurred to me that I’ve been SO deep into card production lately that I completely forgot to post a few that I made weeks ago! Today’s design is one of those, featuring the Ornate Pointsettias Die from Pinkfresh Studio. (I seem to be very drawn to pointsettia […]
Hello lovelies!

Are you ready for the holidays yet? Admittedly I’m a bit behind with getting a few to-do’s out of the way, […]
Happy December! We’ve made it friends. We’re in the home stretch to the end of this incredibly…. odd year. How are you doing? Personally, I like to think that we’re through the thick of things as far as COVID goes, but in addition, all of the other events that 2020 has brought. I know I’m […]
Hello there! I’m a little – ok, a lot – late to the Simon Says Stamp Holly Jolly new release party, but I promise that this is not due to lack of trying! As many of you are probably aware, snail mail has been more snail-like than usual these days. The new product that I was […]
Hi friends! I hope those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday had a great day, and that you were able to spend some time relaxing, reflecting, and enjoying plenty of delicious food. Even though I’m living in Canada now, I still cooked myself up a delicious, less-traditional Thanksgiving feast of salmon and tons of roasted […]
Hello there, and happy Thanksgiving-eve for my US-based friends who are celebrating tomorrow! No matter what those celebrations look like, I hope you all enjoy some well-deserved relaxation, delicious food and some quality time with loved ones – even if it’s via Zoom, FaceTime, phone, text, or via any other digital (and socially-distanced) means. Even […]
