Product Review: Canadian-Made BioSnax

hello.willowcat@gmail.com — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:00:00 +0100

Dogs are awesome companions. They get us up off the couch and enjoying the outdoors, they cheer us up, help us out and improve the quality of our life. In return, all they want is TLC and healthy food & snacks. That's not too muck to ask, is it?

I was instantly sold when I read about these made in Canada dog treats, "...the benefit of treat giving with the ultimate peace of mind." Perhaps this statement from BioSnax regarding their functional and healthy trea [...]

My Canadian Weight Loss Journey - Month 4

isabelleremy@achetonscanadiendabord.ca — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:00:00 +0100

Wow, has it been 4 months already!? The calendar tells me that, yes, I’ve been on a diet for 4 months and feeling great. And the scale (and measuring tape) tells me I’ve been doing really well. So far, I’m down 10 lbs with 5 inches less around the waist. YAY! (P.S. with zero exercise…)

Mom's Kisses for when a kiss isn't enough.

I’m a total klutz so it’s very fortunate that Canadian-made Mom’s Kisses exists. Twenty years ago, Theresa, the founder of Mom’s Kisses, began using arnica topically to relieve the aches and pains of competitive gymnastics. Arnica is a type of plant with thirty species, belonging to the sunflower family. Arnica Montana L. flowers, the species of arnica used in Mom’s Kisses, contains the ingredient that helps reduce swelling and speed healing. Over the ye [...]

First off, winter tires are a must have for safe winter driving (in Que [...]

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your Holidays were awesome!

Did you eat & drink, and were you merry? Well, I was. Kind of. Considering my Canadian Weight Loss Journey. The Holidays are so challenging for anyone trying to lose, or even just maintain, weight. Aren’t they?

In my house, we have a holiday tradition of having my husband’s extended family over for a 7-course sit-down Italian dinner. This year, we were 38 people aged between 3 [...]

Resolutions - Are you making them?

alittlebitofmomsense@gmail.com — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 19:00:00 +0100

A brand new year is just around the corner, and with a new year comes a new list of goals and resolutions that people make. It's a good time for starting over or trying something new.

But do people still follow resolutions? One of the most common that I see is to 'lose weight' or 'eat better'. Both are difficult to accomplish without some planning and support.

Personally, I decided to make a list of goals for myself this year (one of them includes learnin [...]

Winter Fun in the City - Montreal

buycanadianfirst@gmail.com — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 19:00:00 +0100

The holidays have come to an end, most of us have likely over-indulged in delicious holiday fare, and now it's time for those good old New Year's resolutions. I stopped making those many years ago, because I thought it was a bit ridiculous to come up with new resolutions only once a year. Instead, I give myself small goals throughout the year; that way I feel like I've accomplished so much more, rather than making a resolution at the beginning of the year and likely forgetting ab [...]

My Canadian Weight Loss Journey - Week 4

isabelleremy@achetonscanadiendabord.ca — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 19:00:00 +0100

It’s week 4 of my weight loss journey with Thin Evolution’s diet program. Why now, you ask? Studies show that people put on 5-7 lbs over the Holidays. Since I lost almost 5 lbs during December, I should come out ahead if I’m just a little careful. After all, it’s the first bite (or sip) that tastes the best, right? If you’re just joining in this series, check out last week’s Canadian weight loss post. This week I decided to mix thing [...]

It’s week 3 of my Thin Evolution weight loss journey and this one was really tough. I think my body finally figured out what was going on and decided it did not like it one bit! If you’re just joining in, check out last week’s weight loss post.

This week I was craving carbs like nobody’s business…my kingdom for a plate of pasta, some risotto or freshly baked bread!!!! Just thinking about it makes me salivate….
