Exercising throughout the Holidays!!

What a lovely year in Kelowna it was to get out and exercise over the holiday season!  Not too cold, no sleet and wind to speak of either.  One of the ways to get the whole family involved is to go for a walk! It may not seem like much, but if you find a few hills, maybe some stairs, or incorporate some fun races with the kids or dogs, you'll be sure to burn calories as well:)

On Christmas Day, while the turkey was cooking, we dressed up the gang to go outside for some fresh air!

The DOGS got laughed at, but we had fun!

Next we suited everyone up for a play day up at our local ski hill, Big White!  Mom brought the wrong skis for Piper, but that didn't mean we sat in the lodge all day twiddling our thumbs!  We rented some skates and had a ball!


It turned out to be a great day! Love the horses and old fashioned sled that drove by too!


There's always activities and fun and adventure to be had outdoors!  Bundle up and get outside!

Gift Idea for the Health Nut! Power & Pizzazz!


Power & Pizzazz
Great gift giving idea! This is what my clients are getting this year!

Make a big batch to share:
In a bowl, combine...

2 cups Hemp Hearts
2 cups Chia Seeds
1 cup raisins
1 cup Craisins
1 cup chopped dried apple
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

I wanted to dehydrate the fruit a little so that they were drier once added to the seeds. Place fruit on a sheet, bake in 275 degree oven for 20 min.

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.

Pour mixture into cute little containers, wrap with a bow and put eating instructions on.

Make sure you tell your friends to store product in the fridge!

Power and Pizzazz
Ingredients: Chia Seeds,
 Hemps Hearts,
 Raisins, Cinnamon,
Craisins, Dried Apples
Place 1 tablespoon of Power and Pizzazz
in your yogurt, oatmeal and smoothies for instant
 energy, protein, and healthy omegas!
