Repurpose A Garbage Can!!

I am amazed I have never thought of this before.  Sometimes an old metal garbage can looks dated, unhygienic or just plain ugly!  Certainly nothing you would want in your home as a self-respecting adult right?  Wrong!  A good cleaning, some spray paint and you have a new side table for your home! Krylon has a lot of great new colours that makes spray painting that much more exciting!

Healthy Food Choices That Make All The Difference!

Unannounced Absence!

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to apologize for my last two week hiatus!  I was traveling for a short summer trip and then came down with the flu directly after!  At least waited until I was back home to attack.  I should be back to posting normally as of today.  Hope you are all enjoying your summer!

Organic Food Baskets And Community Supported Agriculture! - Montreal Quebec Area

I am having a very hard time going green.  I love meat and I don't want to give it up.  I am however disgusted at the state of the meat industry and agriculture in general.  Last night I stumbled upon the most amazing programs here in Quebec.  I found tons of local farms that are proud to not only provide organic fruits, vegetables, meats, pastries and pantry necessities (flours, honey, jam, juice etc.) but they also deliver it!!  Each farm has different drop off locations and boroughs.  For my neighbourhood the drop off spot is closer to my house than the grocery store.  I am beyond excited for Tuesday when my basket that I customized is ready for me to pick up.  I cannot push this idea enough.  I mean it is fresher, healthier, organic, closer and cheaper than any other option... why would you choose any other way?  I am enclosing a list of all the different farms that offer this service in Greater Montreal Quebec.  I am also enclosing the best variety farm I found that offers this service all year round!  Lufa farms.

Repurpose Old Dresser Drawer Into A Dog Bed

I found this awesome idea from the blog Southernrevivals.com  and decided to make this my weekend project! George will love it.  I have a much larger drawer for him so he should have a ton of space.  I hope someone out there will find use of this.  It is a great way reuse a drawer that would normally get thrown out.

Make Your Own Almond Milk!

Goodbye hormone and antibiotic filled milk!  I must admit I have never tried almond milk.  I grew up around a lot of farms where the cows were grazed everyday on a pasture, they procreated on their own and the milk is amazing!  It really is like no other.  Which then makes me wonder why does the milk taste so different everywhere else?  I moved away from home when I was 18 and have never moved back.  I visit quite often and drink as much milk as I can while there.  The first thing that really drove this home (how milk tasted elsewhere) was my boyfriend.  My boyfriend grew up as lactose intolerant.  While we were back home he tried chocolate milk (as I complain about the gross stuff that passes here in Quebec).  Not only did he like it, it did not bother him at all!  Since then I stopped drinking milk in a big glass and now limit it to cooking and coffee.   Not only is this the first time I'm trying almond milk it is the first time making it!  Check out he recipe after the break.

Victoria Secret Model Workout In Less Than 10 Minutes!

This workout is ridiculous!  It was created for the models when they are on the road or vacation.  Something quick, easy, no tools and a workout that is like no other.  I had no idea how out of shape I was until I did this workout! My shirt was drenched with sweat.  It also left me feeling like I accomplished something in one workout.
