Help the Men in Your Life Stay Healthy with These 4 Easy Tips #ONatural

June 18, 2015 by Kathryn 40 Comments

My parents separated when I was quite young, and after my dad remarried I didn’t see him very often throughout the year. But one day that my siblings and I always spent with our dad was Father’s Day, and it was always a day we enjoyed. Thinking about how much I’ve grown since those early celebrations on my dad’s acreage often make me think about how much older my dad is too. While he’s pretty healthy overall, he does have some issues that make me worry at times.

Luckily, there are a few things that men of any age can do to ensure optimal health, and lots of them are pretty easy! These four easy tips are ones that will help men on the road to good health for decades to come:

1) Drinking Green Tea

I must admit that I’m not really a fan of the taste of green tea, but its many health benefits make it worth drinking anyways! Regular consumption of green tea is said to boost immunity, act as an anti-inflammatory and increase metabolism. It’s even been shown to help improve memory!

Karma Wellness Water Naturally Energizes for Healthy Living

February 22, 2014 by Kathryn 67 Comments

I’ve been on a mission to live a little better this year, from eating healthier to getting more exercise. And one of the simplest and most effective ways I’ve found to improve my health is to get enough liquid every day. I’m pretty good about staying properly hydrated, but there are times when I just don’t want another glass of water. Water enriched with vitamins has become popular for just this reason, since it combines hydration with great flavour and added health benefits. But after reading the labels, I’ve found that some brands have questionable nutritional value and sometimes even artificial sweeteners, something I avoid with a passion.

Karma Wellness Water sounded like just the product I needed. Sweetened naturally with stevia and a touch of cane sugar, it contained just 20 calories per bottle with five tempting flavours to choose from. I loved the low calories, fruit flavours and natural ingredients that Karma Wellness Water featured. But it wasn’t until I received a few bottles to review that I saw how different this new beverage really is.

Little Pleasures Make a Regular Day Delicious!

This post is part of the YummyMummyClub.ca and HALLS Vitamin Drops “Daily Dose of Delicious” program. HALLS Vitamin Drops has asked me to share my “Daily Dose of Delicious” with you. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. This post reflects my personal opinion about the product, provided by the sponsors.

Between getting kids ready for school, working on my site, cooking, cleaning and running errands, my days are full to bursting with hustle and bustle. But life is meant to be enjoyed and even a busy mom can find ways to add some extra enjoyment to her day if she tries! I am a big believer that small actions have a big impact on well-being and so I never miss an opportunity to add a “Daily Dose of Delicious” to my day!

One of my favourite ways to make a regular day more delicious is with a great outfit. Jeans and a cute t-shirt are always the most sensible choice for my activity-packed days, but pairing that standard outfit with a bold, trendy necklace, neon nail polish or sparkly heels just for fun makes me feel instantly happier. And when it comes time to cook, I follow the same principle by adding extras that make me happy like splurging on fresh herbs or setting up a sundae bar for dessert.
