Take the Never Say Dieting Oath with Multi-Grain Cheerios and Create a #WorldWithoutDieting-Giveaway

February 24, 2014 by Kathryn 154 Comments

At 33 years old, I am outgoing, self-confident and comfortable with my appearance. But I wasn’t always that way. The high school years are a hard time for many girls and I was no exception. I obsessed over my body, convinced myself I was too fat dozens of times and tried pretty much every fad diet I came across. It was mainly a manifestation of low self-esteem that had nothing to do with my body at all, but it took me many years and a lot of mistakes to grow into the woman I am today.

While I know that raising my two boys will have its own challenges, I also know that they won’t be exposed to the pressures of dieting as badly as the average teenage girl is, and so any low self-esteem issues they have likely won’t manifest in that manner. But I also have three beautiful little nieces and the idea that they might one day go through something similar is so scary to me. After all, a recent study by Multi-Grain Cheerios of young women between 10-17 years of age found that three in five women have been on a diet, 52% of girls get their information about dieting and nutrition from family members and one in five girls under 18 is currently dieting.

Supercharge Your Health This Year with Vida Grains Superfood Supplement-Giveaway

January 21, 2013 by Kathryn 119 Comments

As I rush through my day, proper nutrition isn’t always something that comes easy to me. But over the years, I’ve learned that there are a few simple steps I can take to ensure that I look and feel my best. Lots of fruits and vegetables, eight glasses of water and a high fibre and high protein diet all help my body perform as it should.

But what bran is not the only food source when one wants to meet their daily fibre requirements and Vida Grains wants to show Canada just how delicious fibre can be!

Vida Grains recently appeared on my very favourite show, Dragon’s Den, to make a pitch for good health and now they have the opportunity to earn your votes on the Dragon’s Den website. I recently received a package of Vida Grains products to test out and as far as I’m concerned, this is a business that I would happily support. [Read more…]

New Earth’s Best Organic Fruit and Grain Purees are Filling and Delicious-Giveaway

June 27, 2012 by Kathryn 88 Comments

It’s time for something new from Earth’s Best Organic! I’ve loved the Earth’s Best products that my boys and I have tried over the last few months and last month a brand new favourite hit the shelves. Earth’s Best Organic Fruit and Grain Purees are a blend of organic fruit and hearty whole grains in the handy portable and squeezable pouches that I love. We received a few of the Fruit and Grain Purees to test out and I was excited to see how my boys would like them.

Ironically, my youngest, who is closest to the baby age, absolutely refuses to eat pureed fruit. But my oldest absolutely loves it and he especially loves being able to suck it out of the pouches when he wants a quick snack. He tried the Banana Raspberry Brown Rice puree and proclaimed it delicious! [Read more…]
