Strawberry Blonde...here I come!!!!


Ok.....
     I admit I am a creature of habit, I tend to do the same routines everyday, I don't change much. The whole idea "If is not not broke don't fix it" well I follow that to a T.....
   Especially when it comes to my hair I have always been blonde....ALWAYS.....I have wanted to try different colours but I have been to scared. 
  Well, today is the day, I am going for it! I am going strawberry blonde...with blonde highlights (have to keep something). My brother are both redheads so I think I can pull it off.....well I certainly hope so!!!.....Ekkkkkkkkk....

My Slurpee!!

So one of my favourite treats is my famous "Crystal Lite Slurpee'" I discovered this many years ago...so simple yet....so satisfying. 

Needed:
Blender
Ice
Crystal Lite (any flavor...Mohito has been my new favourite) 
Diet Sprite or Soda Water

Blend till Slurpee consistency.....I enjoy these at nights when I crave something sweet, or I have the urge to munch....this gets me through...

If I really want sweet I will add extra Stevia...

And......every now and then....I add some vodka for a low calorie Slurpee Cooler....:)

Beauty and Beast.....

So we have started our own Personal Training company. Beauty and Beast training, it makes sense, we both get asked on a regular basis about training, diet and exercise. So why not start back training people again, I was a trainer for a number of years in Toronto, and have always had a passion to help people realize their full potential. Scott also was a trainer in the army for a number of years and was a very successful Body Transformation expert in Medicine Hat, so it seems like a no brainer....
I myself have a wonderful coach and trainer I work with and I do believe having someone in your corner to give you guidance is essential. Being held accountable to strive and reach towards my goals, encouraging me, and helping me get back on track is all what a good coach and trainer does.
So if you are looking for someone to stand in your corner, push you, advise you, and transform your body to be what you have always wanted to be Scott and I would love the opportunity to help you reach your goals...

You can find us on Facebook as "Beauty and Beast Training" 
Or you can contact us via email bnbtraining@hotmail.com

Creatine HCL.....Not just for Guys!!

So many woman are scared of creatine, scared of building too much muscle, getting "bulky", gaining weight, water retention and taking what they think is a man's product. Well, I am here to tell you Creatine HCL by SD Pharmaceuticals  is not only a fantastic product for men but a very beneficial for women. 
I myself use this product, it gives me continuous energy, endurance, and strength  by replacing ATP. ATP is the very first energy source your body uses when doing any movement. So having this available as a constant source your body will recover faster, create strength and muscle fibres, which in turn means more muscle which burns more fat. The advantage of Creatine HCL over creatine monohydrate is it does not cause water retention, there is no loading, and the body absorbs it faster. Plus it tastes like pink lemonade....I mean really who does not like pink lemonade...and the newest flavour Orange-Pineapple....so delicious...
Creatine will not make you a monster, so do not be afraid to train hard, lift heavy and use products like Creatine HCL.
Developing muscle growth and size that is often associated with these type of products actually comes from diet. I train heavy I train hard and I eat right and I am not a 200lb muscle head. Guys have to work just as hard to gain weight as we do to loose weight, they eat continuously (damn them) while we count our calories...
Another note is the benefit for seniors, I have my grandma on Creatine. As you get older your body does not produce as much creatine so for seniors to have 5grams (roughly teaspoon)  will help with energy levels, muscle recover, muscle atrophy....so if you have a senior in your life....consider getting this product for them as well....

Once a Bridesmaid....


What a wonderful wedding we attended this weekend. Full of love, laughs, tears and a stressed out bride. This was the first time I was a Bridesmaid, so I lost my bridesmaid virginity as well...lol. Watching my girlfriend of 10 years find the love of her life and now to watch their lives grow together, I feel so honoured to have been asked to be a part of such a special day. Weddings have a way of leaving us believing in the power of love and that we can all find that one person to walk through life with.
We all have the dream of finding that person....."Your Person" the one who supports your dreams, loves you with your faults, and at the end of the day still wants to stand beside you. I have been fortunate enough to find this person and I look forward to my wedding day where I stand at the end of the isle looking into my future....

Toronto Bound.....



Well we are off to Toronto, I am going to be a bridesmaid for the first time to my sweet dear friend Jen. Any chance to get back to the city I love I jump at. When I was 16 my aunt surprised me with a ticket to Madonna and a flight to the city I wanted to make my home. Walking down Yonge street I looked at my aunt and said "One day I will live here" 5 years later that dream came true.
There is an energy to Toronto that reminds me of Canada's version if New York. Always something to do, see and the diversity is amazing, I spent my 20's in this city growing up, setting the groundwork to where I am and who I am today.  My brothers and I had our pet food store for 5 of those years we all lived together which in hind sight should have been a reality show...lol 
I have made many lifelong friends in this city and luckily with Facebook we all still keep in touch. Every time I am back the city has grown and changed,  I guess part of me thought it would stop. I even find it hard to return home to Vancouver, however home is where my heart is and although I miss the energy and excitement of and this amazing city...I know they cannot compare to the love and the wonderful life I am blessed with  in Vancouver.  however.....there will always be a part of me that refers to Toronto as my 
home.
