So I’ve been asked this question a lot, how did you get your hair this blonde? What did you do? To be honest, it did not happen overnight.
I spent 2-3 years applying different shades of blondes, highlights, and toners. I must also add that it went through a lot of damage and my hair was brittle at times and I’ve had to cut the ends more often than I would have liked.
This one is for all the pressed-for-time mamas who just want to feed their family something nutritious that doesn’t need all afternoon on the stove. I like shortcuts and I love Asian cooking. One of the local grocery stores sells ready-to-heat udon and ramen noodles. Something about the chewiness of udon just does it for me. What makes this recipe awesome is that you can add what you have in your veggie tray – there is no right or wrong way to do it. Now that the kids know this is possible, I have had to keep this recipe in the regular-loop.
If you like Chinese food, this is a must try. A lovely easy to make stir fry.

On our wellness journey our relationship with our feelings play a critical role. The way we see our feelings plays a big role in how we relate to our feelings. We have classified feelings as negative or positive depending on our experience of that feeling. For example, anger may be viewed as a negative feeling, whilst happy may be viewed as a positive feeling.

February is here and many human bodies are releasing a big exhale, because January and the many expectations that come with it have passed. During January there is normally a significant increase in the “new you” and “better you” messages through various mediums. Many people experience this as overwhelming, because with it comes the hidden message of “you lack” or “you have failed”.
My daughter turned 1, which seems completely unbelievable to me. But also feels in a way, like we made it to some kind of parenting milestone. And when I think back on my year as a mom, there have been so many highs and lows on the journey that I sometimes can’t believe we’ve made it this far. I know our first year has been the hardest of my life, but it has also been my happiest. I wish I could say that becoming a mom was perfectly blissful to me, but that wasn’t my reality at all. And I’ve learned that it’s okay to talk about that. I certainly don’t want my daughter one day to go into motherhood thinking that it’s all moonshine and roses. Motherhood is different for everyone, and it comes with a lot of challenges.
Today, we are talking about quality control in wellness.
A quick google search will tell you that quality control refers to a procedure or a set of procedures that is intended to ensure that a product or service adheres to defined criteria or requirements. In one of our earlier posts, we shared our adapted definition of wellness, being “a state of actively living a lifestyle that helps to attain holistic health”. Bringing it in the context of quality control, health is the state of being and wellness is the pursuit of this state.
