Tis’ the Season… to Stay Healthy!

Posted by Brandy Pridham on

The holidays are just around the corner and our calendars are quickly filling in with family commitments and holiday celebrations. The decorations are up and the carollers are singing, reminding us that it’s the most wonderful time of the year. But as our to-do list grows, our pressures mount, and it’s easy to become overwhelmed, both physically and spiritually, and lose sight of the magic of the season.

BHealthy This Thanksgiving!!

Posted by Brandy Pridham on

Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays, bringing together delicious food and family – the perfect combination! There are many ways to make sure your family has a healthy holiday. To ensure your table is filled with tasty food that is good for you, start with the perfect turkey!

It’s unbearable outside and becoming a little too warm inside your home too. The air conditioner is running overtime, your lights are out and the curtains are drawn at the peak of the afternoon sun. You are doing everything to keep cool, but the thermostat is still inching upwards and dinnertime is just around the corner. The thought of cooking is making you sweat. So put away the pots and pans and consider a no-cook dinner that...

What's in your Personal Care Products?

Posted by Brandy Pridham on

Over the last few decades there has been a shift towards understanding how our health and development are affected by our lifestyle choices. Consumers are increasingly concerned with what is in the everyday products that we use on our children and ourselves, but it can be a challenge understanding the chemical list of ingredients found in our children’s favourite bubble bath. Both parabens and phthalates are ingredients that can be found listed on any number of grooming products in your bathroom. Both have been used for decades and were once considered safe and effective and are now considered potentially dangerous...
