Life is precious and the truth is we don’t really know how long we have here. It doesn’t always matter how old you are or how well you take care of yourself, life can change in the blink of an eye which is why I strive to live each moment to its fullest. There are so many ways to live life to its fullest potential, but here are five of my favourites:

I am really excited to do my first health and wellness blog post featuring someone I have known for many years (I won’t say exactly HOW long I have known Janine, but we did go to elementary and high school together to give you an idea…). It is incredible to know someone from such a young age and see the amazing things they have accomplished, it is so inspiring!

One of my favourite things in the entire world to do is travel! I have been very blessed in my life to have had the opportunity to travel as much as I have. You can learn so much about life and culture through travel, it is incredible. As much as I love laying on a beach and unwinding, some of my most amazing memories have been from learning about different cultures, trying new foods and exploring fascinating places. Being self-employed, I haven’t traveled much in the last few years but I am hoping to change that soon!

You know those people that you click with right away and somehow know that you will become good friends with them? That is exactly how I felt when I met Bianca for the first time! She is warm, kind, funny, stylish and one of the sweetest people I know. She is the kind of person that will hold your hand on a roller coaster when you are freaking out (and yes, that actually happened on the roller coaster at the New York New York Hotel in Las Vegas. I kept my eyes closed the entire time while she held my hand and asked if I was okay! Note to self: Just because you are in Vegas doesn’t mean that you can handle roller coasters all of a sudden!). I love spending time with her and am very lucky to have her as a friend.

One of my absolute favourite things in the world to do is dance! There is something about listening to music and moving to the beat that makes my soul happy. It is one of those things that lifts my spirit, no matter what kind of day I am having. I honestly can't remember a time when I wasn't happy when I was dancing.
