MIND. BODY. SOUL.
When you're stuck in what feels like a staring contest, one where you can't get yourself to "blink first" because you know it'll be a downward cycle, you keep staring. You hold strong. You don't let yourself give in to the ghosts of yesterday or the weaknesses that turn you down today. You allow yourself ...
Don't drown in the madness of your daily life. Don't let yourself eat your feelings. Drink your frustrations. Sleep away your sorrow. Don't let yourself become a shell of yourself just going through the motions of your life. It would be a sad, sad, world if we all went through life this way. There are days ...
Ever been shopping and pick up a packaged good and look at the back and wonder, whoa? Why so many ingredients? What is that word? It’s kind of scary to think what goes into some of the food we eat - with or without realizing it. Over the past few years, especially since being gluten ...
Written by contributing blogger, Sonia Sahota. With summer approaching, I have been trying out all sorts of diets and cleanses to become "beach body" ready.

We're busy. We're in a rush. We're lazy. We're tired. We're over-worked. We're' traveling. We have a lot of excuses to not get to the gym and/or not work out on a regular basis. Basically we have a lot of bullshit. Don't you think? Luckily there are some exercise routines you can do in 15 minutes ...
Our society has made us worry about every little morsel that goes into our mouths. How many calories is in that bite of cake? Can I afford the calories to eat out today? How many sugars are in that drink? If I have wine instead of an appetizer will my calorie count max out? Does that ...
I start the day with hot water and lemon. But then I'm constantly running around, like a chicken with its head cut off. From the gym to a meeting to after-work obligations, or perhaps just milling about. Since I'm gluten free (and typically dairy free)...and not from choice, leaving food to chance isn't an option. ...
Because making lunch for the week shouldn't be a daily chore. And meal prepping sounds so "trendy" I get it, but it really does help. Imagine taking a couple hours one day, and not worrying about meals for the rest of the week? Kind of awesome. Because really, who has time every morning to make ...
Written by blog contributor, Audrea Laffely. I created my first vision board about two years ago. I was at a yoga retreat in Western Massachusetts and decided to take a vision boarding class. Walking in, I was not sure what to expect. The teacher has us write a word in the center of our paper that ...
