It's a sobering statistic: approximately 1 in 7 Canadian women will be diagnosed with some form of breast or gynecological cancer in their lifetime (source:
EndCancer.ca). As scary as that sounds, there is also good news. Early detection is on the rise, survival rates are climbing, and treatment options are expanding!

Most of us have a Cause near to our hearts and we do what we can to support it. Usually that means putting money in an envelope or training for a marathon, but the charity we're introducing you to today is really putting the "fun" back into fundraising.

Cute Workout Gear to Start the New Year
New years resolution time is here and I'm going to bet that at the top of many of our lists is '
exercise'. I know it's at the top of mine. Only problem is,
I hate running (and by default, all forms of exercise). I fear that this will most likely never change. So my only course of action is to really try and come up with new ways of motivating myself.
It takes a lot to get me...
Old Tee Makeovers Part 1: The DIY Workout Top

If you're like me, you probably have a huge collection of souvenir tees from various events. That charity run you did last August (yup, you've got that tee) or that time you volunteered for the food bank (that one is somewhere in your closet too). The tees just seem to accumulate until you don't have any drawer space left.
Well, why not re-purpose those old t-shirts and...Tip Tuesday: How to Avoid Acne Post - Workout
A while back, I wrote an article about how to lose weight. I mentioned how much I dislike the act of jogging. I'm convinced jogging is an evil conspiracy by running shoe companies. Despite my dislike for exercise, I still force myself to do it. It's not easy but it helps me focus and keep my thoughts on track.
One of the most irritating things about working out is that it causes
June 29

Today was one of those days where my mind and reality were not in synch. While my mind told me I could totally handle all of my appointments, a workout and prepping for a party, reality was I was late for all of it and today was unbelievably hot.

Obviously summer is amazing for many reasons and I'm so glad it's finally here. But with the warmer weather comes ice cream and with ice cream comes a bigger butt. Or maybe that's just me, my neighbourhood ice cream truck and my lack of self control. But no matter. We all want an enviable rear and there's no reason not to have one.
With these...

I'm sure you've heard the expression "Teacher's Arm". I apologize to all teachers out there, but you know what it means: the under arm jiggle that increases with age, most noticeably when writing on a chalk board (do they even use those anymore?). Unfortunately this condition doesn't discriminate. Even stick thin arms can fall victim to it. The only way to...
