Hey peeps! I’m going to let you in on a little secret here. Once upon a time, I used to have a little side gig doing electronics reviews.
Seriously. I’m not making this up. Televisions; tablets; LCD monitors, laptops; iPod accessories, and kitchen appliances – I reviewed them all.
One of the tricky bits about food labelling is that it’s not always easy to determine what a particular ingredient actually is.

So I’m on Day 6 of giving up refined sugars, and I’m pretty shocked at the ubiquitousness of sugar in a large number of my favourite foods.

However, my favourite little webcomic, XKCD, had this to say about resolutions:
You know, I’ve been mulling the whole idea of creating effective personal change. I’ve been [...]
It’s funny — sometimes the best books about fitness and wellness aren’t about fitness and wellness at all.
by Eckhart Tolle is a book that I’ve had on my reading list a long time. I really wish I’d read it sooner. Like, about 15 years ago.
Generally, the book is an exploration of the philosophy [...]
Wellness Rebels the world over know that there are really no excuses when it comes to sticking to their fitness routines.
That’s why I was so excited to see the picture and the caption below from my good friend Meghan, who is a wonderful embodiment of the phrase “No Excuses”:
Hey peeps! I’m back! Did you miss me? (On second thought, don’t answer that!)
