If I were to ask you what body part can be responsible for heart disease, diabetes, migraines, dementia, and rheumatoid arthritis…would you ever guess your mouth? Poor oral and dental health can be responsible for so much more than cavities and gum disease. Not only is your mouth the first part of your digestive tract, but it's your tool for how you communicate and express yourself to the world. It's pretty important to make sure your mouth is as healthy as possible.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered where the laugh lines and forehead wrinkles came from? Over the years, our faces change! I started to take more of an interest about two years ago. My face was familiar but somehow it seemed like it was aging overnight. The truth was I had always taken care of my skin but I didn't have skin care rituals that I stuck to. I knew I had to wash it daily. I knew to moisturize. Truthfully though

Autumn is always my favourite season. It's the start of jeans, sweaters, wool socks and plaid shirts. It's socially acceptable to drink tea more than twice a day {I'm not the only one, right?}. It's time for soups, stews, and all things crock pot. Oh yes, fall definitely makes me happy.

Meal planning used to be my second biggest frustration around healthy eating with my family (the first by far is getting my kids to eat vegetables). I would often default to the same old meals so that no only was I bored but my family literally couldn't stomach one more round of homemade tomato sauce.

If you were to ask me what the ONE thing is you can do to change your life, I would tell you it's to have an early morning power hour. The early morning is quiet, peaceful and uninterrupted. It is time for you and ONLY you. There are no distractions in the early morning. It’s the time when magic happens. You intentionally create time to be aware of your physical, emotional and mental self and health.
