FLORANTHROPY: A BEAUTIFUL INITIATIVE

The holidays are a time of joy and celebration and although gifts are great, spreading love is much more important! A friend of mine spoke to me about a beautiful initiative she is part of, called Floranthropy. It’s a first of its kind in Canada non-for-profit organization whose goal is to give a second life to flowers from weddings, corporate events, etc. and bring joy & well-being to individuals in retirement homes, hospitals and wherever they are needed to lift spirits! The beauty of flowers just bring happiness. Personally, I feel great joy receiving a bouquet of flowers so I can…

MY FITNESS PAL

  Have you ever paid attention to what you eat? If you haven’t, give it a try (see what 50 grams of sugar really looks like by weighing it on a scale to get some perspective). On the other hand, if you have, you also certainly experienced people criticizing you by saying something like this: “Oh, you watch your calories? How do you live like that”? Now, that’s ok, everyone has their right to live the way they want but never be intimidated or feel judged by others. The simple answer to a question like that is: I live healthy…

PECAN PIE CHEESECAKE

Browsing through Pinterest for a new dessert idea, I fell on this recipe. I love pecan pie and I love cheesecake, so I thought the combination of the two would be divine – I wasn’t wrong! It was not an easy cake to make – it took a few hours, but it was definitely worth it. Everyone thought it was delicious & I have a new recipe to share with you girls: http://www.heidis-so-called-life.com/2010/11/pecan-pie-cheesecake.html Here are the ingredients I used: Let me know if you’ll try it & how it turns out :)

MANGO TARTAR

Over the long weekend we were hosting a dinner party & I needed a quick appetizer to prepare. I usually make a tartar (already gave you girls the recipe in my previous posts) but I wanted some variety, so I did some research and stumbled on this recipe: http://www.yuppiechef.com/spatula/salmon-tartare-with-mango-and-coriander/ I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t like tartar! This recipe is perfect! I have eaten mango tartar in a restaurant before, but I was sacred to make it myself – honestly, it turned out great and everyone loved it. There is quite a few ingredients, such as sesame oil & wasabi…

JILLIAN MICHAELS BODY REVOLUTION

I have officially completed the 7 day kick start your metabolism program!!! Not eating carbs or sugar for 7 days straight is not easy, let me tell you that! Combine that with a series of exercises (30 mins workout and 30 mins cardio tapes a day) and you are on a mission! But, if it was easy, everyone would do it right? So, after this intense week, I have lost…drum roll… 6 lbs and my stomach has never been flatter :) This year I decided to keep my New Year’s Eve resolution! I’ve decided to get in shape before the summer…
