Helloooo, summer! It’s a time to relax, get outside, and enjoy time with favourite people. And maybe some bad habits sneak in… For me, the summer can be a bit of a battle of wanting to stay healthy but also want to have that extra drink (or three.)

My Favourite Beach Reads
I have read and re-read so many books in the last year and a half. Like, a lot. Books — not e-books, actual books — have been a welcome respite from a year and a half’s worth of Zoom, FaceTime, and just the overall emotions of the pandemic.

Get Inspired with the Nine Types of Rest
What’s your Enneagram number? Mine is 8. (From NineTypes.co: Eights are motivated by a need to protect themselves and to avoid vulnerability.

The Best Habits for a Better Sleep
Do you get enough sleep? I am definitely not a morning person, but the nature of my job has made me adapt over the years. And to supplement that, I’ve adopted some important habits to help me sleep better. For the longest time, I didn’t get near enough sleep to replenish my body. Which I told myself it was okay …
Change your daily perspective with a gratitude journal
What are you grateful for today, this week, in general? If you stop and take a moment to focus, life is incredibly abundant. I like to journal my gratitude so I can look back on it on days that I’m feeling a bit blah. A gratitude journal is a great practice to incorporate into your every day. It’s truly amazing …
