These boots were made for walking

Friday, January 19, 2018



Outfit: Dress-F21 (old), Boots-Aldo, Jacket-Second hand via Lyndsey purse-Henri Beidal via Lyndsy, Necklace-Saraswati Designs, Rings-Vintage & The bay 

I have had my eyes on these boots since I first saw them in October, I have always been really into over the knee boots. After christmas I saw them online for about 1/4 the price! Ah I love me a good deal. And I'm really into these boots, they're flat which is super comfortable and they actually stay up. I love a good sweater dress and this one is always a go-to, I've had it for about 3 years and it's still just as cozy. I like this palette of black, white and maroon together, it's subtle but still pops too.

Health & Wellnes Goals for 2018

Thursday, January 18, 2018
This year, when I rewrote out my goals I put them into the following categories: Mental health, financial, blog goals, fitness goals, and work goals. There are so many different aspects of my life that I am currently working on, it really helps to categorize and work on certain things at certain times. 
For me some really important health/fitness goals I've focused in on so far are: 

1. Self Care.
Really prioritizing this, setting aside time everyday to do a little check in and see where I'm at. If I'm feeling energized, all is good, if I'm verging on burn out actions need to be taken. Making sure I'm getting enough sleep and down time is huge on the self care end. Booking a trip somewhere warm has been huge but self care doesn't have to be huge. Taking some quiet time alone to read, relax, reset is a great way to practice self care.
2. Working on Mobility.
My shoulder and neck have been a mess since getting rear ended and while I was making progress on it, I've had a set back (thanks soccer!) So I'm really hoping to make some changes to my warm up and spend some sessions on mobility to fix this.
3. Box more.
It's fun, it's hard and it makes me feel like a badass. I love my kickboxing training and want to get even better!
4. Stay Hydrated.

 It looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of physical activity so best to stay hydrated, good thing I got the most adorable water bottle for christmas from a client!

Here is a cheat sheet from hims to help you stay a little healthier and reach your goals in 2018!

Mobility Flow 2

Wednesday, January 17, 2018
A couple more mobility flows to add into your warm up or your straight mobility days. These ones are great for stretching out tight hamstrings, hips, and help increase thoracic mobility. For a mobility day I'll throw a hoodie on and repeat these flows along with the first mobility flow several times over the course of half an hour. It's a great way to warm up and loosen all the muscles up. On those days I'll often add in any physio and corrective exercises as well.

That Pom Life

Wednesday, January 10, 2018




Outfit: Hat-Simons, Top-Gap, Skirt-Dynamite, Shoes-Aldo, Rings-Saraswati Designs (Miss Boss), Sunnies-Winners

These are my very first photos with my new camera. I'm pretty excited to try this baby out, it's a Canon EOS 750D, and I had the Canon 50D before, however it was 10 years old and not in great shape. It wasn't focusing, the images were coming out unclear, and sometimes it just would not take a photo no matter how you pressed and cajoled it. It's much nicer to have something more lightweight, capable of taking clearer images and with the ability to take video! 

Now onto the outfit, I am totally into shades of grey and black this winter, but this mustard pom pom hat is the perfect contrast. I love me a good pom hat, they're so cozy and I can often be found snuggled up in bed with the dog in one. This one in particular makes my heart pitter patter with it's extra large pom and the beautiful colour. Mustard is my Jam!
