I'm a self-professed oenophile. As such, I often enjoy a glass of wine (or two) with my meals. And while I like white wines my preference still lies with red - in particular deep, rich, velvety and smooth Bordeaux wines. The only first-world problem that comes with that preference however, is that the wines end up staining my teeth. Pile on coffee stains from my multiple lattes during the day and I'm starting to resemble someone from the cast of Oliver...

These days, any Vancouverite will tell you that ugly, rainy weather and skyrocketing house prices are topics that dominate nearly every conversation from boardroom to coffee house. While we can’t do much about the housing situation, we do know the benefits of such crappy weather - it means our forests become more lush and everything around us is green and blooming. We do live in a rainforest, after all...

As you know, I’m halfway through my 30-day health challenge and staying hydrated is always top of mind, whether you’re on or off the exercise mat. On the market today, there are so many reusable bottles - ones with beautiful designs in many different shapes and sizes. But what if the bottle itself was more than just a conventional vessel? What if this bottle could make the water even healthier for you?

I thought I would write about my progress after finishing Week #2 in this 30-day self-imposed health challenge. This challenge is a combination of physical exercise and healthy eating. The physical exercise comes in the form of daily 15-minute HIIT, highly efficient workouts that really push your body. The healthy eating comes with the assistance of daily meal plans - recipes that help you focus on eating whole foods, thus maximizing...

I'm now on Day 7 of my 30-day health challenge and I'm feeling pretty good so far. I know it's just over 20 percent of my goal, but hey - it's 20 percent more than I did over a week ago!! I'm normally not one to stick to workout routines as I find them incredibly boring, but the one I'm currently doing is pretty good. It's only 15 minutes, consisting of three sets of a series of five to six exercises. So three minutes per series means...

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how to be more structured in terms of eating healthier and being more active. As most of you know, going to the gym is useless if you’re filling your body with unhealthy food options. So it’s not just about how often you work out, but what you eat. And sometimes it really helps to have...

There was only one thing I recall from the movie Sex and The City - besides it being a terrible movie - was during the break up scene between Samantha and Smith. She said, “I’m just going to say the thing that you’re not supposed to say: I love you, but I love me more." I felt like that was one of the most liberating lines of dialogue I’d ever heard in a romantic movie...
