the ramblings of a chronic over thinker

here i am! here i am!

just living my best life, whatever that means…

so, we are 8 months into the year already! yipes! as i predicted, i fell off the writing bus. a few of my clients asked me, ”why there were no emails or newsletters?”. well, the reason is not really that serious. we got busy, we lost some staff members, we needed to focus on some internal changes and the writing took a back seat.

what have i been up to? well, my some of kids are playing high level basketball and i have been driving them back and forth from their practices (thank god the price of gas has lowered). i have been able to get outside and skate but that brought on some knee pain i have never experienced before! honestly, 50 is closer to me now than ever! my knees have served me so well these 40+ years. they have been so good, but now i need to add the services of a physiotherapist because my job and active lifestyle is starting to wear me down.

2025 has me feeling all kinds of aging. is it my 16 year old child? the perimenopause? the business ups and downs? my parents health? wow, i could keep going. i will. i have growing children that need food, shelter and the world is literally on fire (here and a few other places). i’m still struggling with how to deal with the news and the violence against others i see everywhere…. i feel 58.

10 years ago… lookit those brows!

just writing now actually feels real good. i’m happy to be back! thank you Luci for the push, i really appreciate it!

we have some exciting changes coming up. the waiting area is getting a re-haul! we are going to be changing it up soon. it’s time after 15 years! we’re hoping to bring in some new products for fall (yeah i said it) but be sure to check out some of the new stuff we have in now!

bardot. is a new vegan product line that boasts full volume for fine haired folks. it’s a dry shampoo, a volumizing spray and a texture spray. the texture spray is bananas! Also new in store is clinisoothe+. it’s skin purifier that’s gentle and safe for all. i used it on my sons dark, dry skin and poof, next day it was an normal colour! crazy! the results blew my mind!

anyways, i’m back. drop me a line, send me some love. i’d like to hear from you guys even though it’s been since april….

DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK, I’VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS

This is my time, again.  I have said many times that writing was something I would like to work on and maintain.  For those of you who have been here from the beginning, you may have remembered freshfood as a Saturday blog post about literally, whatever.

remember those loooong nails?!

My mind is an open field of thoughts, dreams, questions, ideas and ideals.  I can’t stop it from trying to discover, learn and understand (I’d love suggestions on how to slow down your brain).  I think that freshfood was sort of a creative outlet for me and I didn’t even know it!

In a world of ‘likes’ and digital glory, it’s hard to know if you’re really doing it right.  I wrote every week for a few years and our followers might have been around 5-15 people (who probably felt bad for me honestly).  Compared to other blogs I’ve read or how online products grow, freshfood was/is developing at a snail’s pace.  As long as the 5-15 of you care to peek inside my mind, I hope to bring you nothing but pure entertainment if no education or knowledge is gleaned from my ramblings.  The goal is to stay consistent and hopefully some folks will be into my words.

…my future’s so bright!

So yeah, here we go, the first of a few/many.  I’m hoping to get some things off my chest and also ask some serious questions (i’m very intrigued by perspectives that are different from mine so this could be interesting). Since the pandemic and the death of George Floyd, I have myself experienced a sort of renaissance and freshfood (even though it’s old) is really a by-product of my “newness”.

I’m back at it and I’m ready for anything!  Don’t forget to subscribe! 😬
