LIFESTYLE

Fall is my favourite time of the year for clothes and ambience… All of this is so relaxing and calming.

FOOD

Is it too soon to be thinking about baked foods? I mean, it’s still summer… I can’t help it. The planner in me is already looking for new recipes for the colder months. I often love one pot dishes and my photo montage this week is an ode to the skillet!

FITNESS

Do you think stretching is working out? Like, if you spent 45 minutes really getting sweaty and you never jumped once, would you consider that a ‘workout’? Even that word workout! It sounds so sweaty and hard! There must be other words we can use to name our efforts to be fit. I have been toying with the word “training”. “Sorry I missed your call, I was just finishing up training.”, or “Do you want to meet me later to train?”. You get me, or no?

I had a crazy training session last week where I did stretching for 45 mins and wow! I was really sweaty! It was hard! Guys, yoga is hard! The breathing was tricky, but once you breathe and focus, it helps to keep you going.

Even if you don’t think yoga is considered training, like I do, one cannot deny, it is CHALLENGING! If you’re looking for some challenging fitness training, try some yoga, it’s pretty intense.

HAIR

We have survived a third lockdown here in Manitoba! As of June 26th we were allowed to open again for the third time, after a series of mandated government lockdowns. Being closed for almost 6 months is intense, let me tell you. I know that many people struggled to make sense of the way our country was handling the pandemic. Each province had a few different policies but unilaterally, salons were closed.

There are many hairstyles out there, but 6 months without a haircut can create an en entire new look! If you usually wear it real short, then you would have likely taken matters into your own hands! Was that you during the pandemic? Did you just throw your hands up and buy that box colour? Did you attempt to watch a tik tok video and give yourself a shag? At any rate, I’m sure it may have crossed your mind. Well, lucky for Manitobans, we are open!

So if you have cut your own hair, I hope it went well, and if you were able to wait for the shops to reopen, bravo! Here’s to hoping that we never shut down again! 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
