    Keeping Kids Busy: A Lesson in Sprouting.

    So, this week has brought more than I bargained for, COVID-19. We’re all social isolating, a word I had never heard until a little over one week ago. A concept I would never sign up for, and now its all…

Find your people. Don’t anchor yourself on the g Find your people. Don’t anchor yourself on the ground. Recharge your batteries. • Friendships have always been the sprinkles in my life. I’m grateful to be surrounded by amazing people. I’m also grateful that my family can function without me while I sneak away for a much needed girls trip. We laughed, we giggled, we ate, we beached and we could not stay on the ground. • Mindset is as important to whole body health as your nutrition. Actually, scratch that last comment! I’d like to think that mindset might be even more important to your whole body health. #bliss_edlifenutrition #surroundyourselfwithpositivity #jump #feedyoursoul #play #girlstrip
What I do when I leave the fam for a few days: Fi What I do when I leave the fam for a few days: First of all, hit the beach with a good book, not because I initially felt the draw; my plan was to stain a wall of the Cabbage (cottage/cabin). I hit the beach because my husband told me to. I don’t usually listen to him, but when his advice includes the fact that it’s 26 degrees celsius and you can sit next to a lake while reading a book, he’s right, the staining can wait. • Next, eat all of the vegetables. I literally did not bring a piece of meat with me. I’m living on mushrooms and avocados and loving it!!! • Finally, deck out the basement with awesome throw pillows, stain, repair damaged walls and just remember that you are your own best friend. You love company, but you’re also great at alone. #bliss_edlifenutrition #connectwithyourself #doallthethings #readagoodbook #workhard
I love Mondays. I have for years. Monday is the d I love Mondays. I have for years. Monday is the day I set the tone and the intention for my week. I always start with a healthy anti-inflammatory smoothie loaded with soaked nuts and seeds, berries, avocado, coconut kefir and greens. I enjoy my high protein smoothie as I prepare for a workout from the comfort of my own home with @coramfitness and then I enjoy a few snuggles with my sweet chihuahua before I get started on my workday. #setyourintentions #wakeuphappy #moveyourbody #loveyourself #bliss_edlifenutrition #coramfitness #findyourpeople #fuelyourself

This week I’m working on lowering inflammation a This week I’m working on lowering inflammation as I ramp up my workouts! I’ve been taking Magnesium, Sulforaphane (super antioxidant and detoxifier), and an Active B Complex. I have been supporting this protocol with my diet. • I’ve been enjoying a vegetarian lunch daily, to ensure I have a good dose chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is what makes a plant green, but it also cleans your liver. Chlorophyll is found in your leafy greens, alongside magnesium. Magnesium has been shown to ease muscle pain, lower inflammation and help with sleep. I’ve also been enjoying lots of fermented foods, like sauerkraut and miso. Fermented foods add a quality dose of healthy microbes to your microbiome which supports lowered inflammation, and gut and brain health. • The most important move I’ve made to lower inflammation as I ramp up workouts, is to increase my water intake. I’ve been measuring out my water in the morning to keep me on track. How do you guys stay on track? Do you think it’s valuable to attempt to lower inflammation while you increase workouts? I sure do! While workouts support brain health, muscle and bone health, they also increase the free radicals in your system. By increasing hydration and the health of your diet, you support you support your body’s ability to detoxify and reap all of the benefit of your workouts. Vitamin C naturally scavenges free radicals in the system, so remember lots of fruits and veggies!! Thank you to my amazing trainer Cora, @coramfitness ! #healthylifestyle #supportwithfood #bliss_edlifenutrition #magnesium #sulforaphane #chlorophyll #fermentedfoods #eatmoreplants
Salsa making is something I try to schedule every Salsa making is something I try to schedule every Autumn. When I find a fantastic deal on tomatoes, I can’t help but grab them and get busy! • Making salsa requires blanching and peeling tomatoes, and soooo much chopping. It’s a lot of work, but there’s nothing better when scoop up a delicious mouthful of your own homemade salsa on a nacho chip! • If you were too eager, like myself; and forgot to wear gloves, soak your stinging hands in milk! #salsa #salsamaking #oniongoggles #fallpreserves #yum #milkbath #somuchchopping
Sometimes those spicy peppers can be irritating fo Sometimes those spicy peppers can be irritating for your skin. I always make sure I have a jug of milk in the fridge when I make salsa. I gave my hands a nice cold milk soak when I finished cooking today. Sometimes I remember to wear food grade rubber gloves while I chop. Today I completely forgot! A milk bath was in order after a spicy batch of salsa! #salsamakingfun #milkbath #bliss_edlifenutrition #busykitchenday
Lucky are those that are born with a silver spoon Lucky are those that are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Onions do not make them cry. My goggles let in onion fumes, but this trick that I learned from my beautiful friend @coramfitness worked like a charm! Just hold a teaspoon between your teeth while you chop onions. No tears. Happy day for me! #bliss_edlifenutrition #oniontrick #notearsfromonions
I’m pushing the limits of the onion goggles toda I’m pushing the limits of the onion goggles today! I’ll let you know how it goes! I have a love / hate relationship with salsa making. Love eating the salsa, don’t mind the canning process, but peeling 25 lbs of tomatoes and chopping 4 onions and a whole bowl of spicy peppers? Not as much love. Wish me luck! I keep telling myself it’s all worth it. Let’s face it, anything worth doing is worth doing well and will probably require some bumps in the road. Stay tuned for updates! Please work onion goggles, please work! If they don’t, I’ll switch to my classic swim goggles which look even more ridiculous than these but they really keep out the spice and onion stank! #salsamaking #oniongoggles #bliss_edlifenutrition #wishmeluck
