My husband Steve and I spent a week in Maui celebrating our baby-moon. For the first few days we were in Lahaina, a quaint town bustling with culture and art. As we pulled into the town my tummy was grumbling. It was a long journey from Toronto and I needed something to refuel my body and hungry tummy! Luckily Steve had researched healthy hot spots before we left for vacation and had a map printed out with directions to this incredible restaurant called Choice Health Bar. READ MORE

Recently I had the great opportunity of sitting down over lunch to chat with Joe Cross. You have likely heard of Joe before, seen him in one of his popular documentaries Fat Sick & Nearly Dead (1 and 2), or read his best selling book The Reboot With Joe Juice Diet. READ MORE

While traveling to Hawaii this year my husband and I fell in love with Acai bowls! If you haven’t tried them they are a must try. They are basically a delicious smoothie that is so thick you eat it from a bowl with a spoon. Then they top it off with toppings like granola, fruit, honey, nuts, etc. I’m drooling just thinking about them. While we were staying in Kihei, Maui we came across this amazing hot spot called Wow Wow Lemonade. If I could have put the entire restaurant in my suitcase to bring home with me I would have! I loved it that much.  READ MORE

While in Boca Raton this holiday season my husband and I woke up one morning craving a big green juice. We noticed there was a local juice shop called Juiceateria in walking distance from our hotel and decided to check it out. We may have gone for a juice but got so excited about all that they had to offer we ended up staying for lunch too! They have a few seats inside but since it was a nice day we opted to sit outside. They have a great selection of cafe style tables and lounge areas to sit and relax.  READ MORE

Central Memorial Park offers a scenic reprieve among the skyscrapers peppering Calgary’s downtown core but burrowed even deeper within this scenic oasis is the real gem, Boxwood Cafe.
