I'm recovering from torn ligaments in my left ankle and have just quit my dream job. Hello, August!

My latest lightbulb moment included a need to create intentions. You know, those colourful journals that bring the 90's child in you out to play? I have goals and I'm not afraid to use glitter glue to document them. It's all over Instagram, these unreal works of art that Pinterest dreams are made of, and… Continue reading The Art of Intention Writing
I've heard about If It Fits Your Macros for a really long time, but it wasn't until I signed up with my coach Kayla van Rooyen that I understood how amazing it was. I also realized how much we really overeat in the process. When I was first given my list of daily Macros, it… Continue reading I’ve been overeating this whole time
This was taken at Riley's birthday party - when all you ate was a handful of broccoli and 7 litres of water. Remember how you cringed when you saw this picture because you thought that you were overweight? Do you remember how you beat yourself up about wanting a slice of Riley's birthday cake?
