Who DOESN’T love chicken wings? When I ate meat, chicken wings were like my guilty pleasure. They were delicious in all the best ways – they were greasy, saucy, messy, and finger lickin’ good. My friends and I would frequent wing places which had like a thousand different styles of chicken wings, we’d get a pound of one flavour each and share. It was glorious and delicious – but still, for me somehow nothing compared to the good old buffalo wing.

A few years ago my friends and I started calling my dad, Rockin’ Rob. Why? ‘Cause he’s Rockin. In University my dad would bring us a 24 pack of beer to our university house, he would play fun drinking games with us at his house in the summer time, and he would drive us to the bar on nights out. As I type this I am realizing how much my life has changed since university, but you can imagine that university aged Mel and her friends thought my dad was pretty Rockin’. And Rockin’ Rob was born.

I don’t know why but lately I have wanted cinnamon apple everything. Maybe it’s the baby? I’m almost 18 weeks pregnant now, and the force is strong with these cinnamon apple cravings. Or maybe it’s just me – I don’t know….
When I was working at a gym, I used to get a lot of questions from members about weight loss – more specifically people asking me what was the best way to lose weight. As if there was this one secret special thing that only personal trainers knew about that they could do to lose weight and keep it off.

Let’s face it, anyone living in this modern world knows the daily trials and tribulations of just being. It seems like there is a lot of pressure (sometimes self inflicted) on this generation to be constantly doing, succeeding and achieving at all costs. In the middle of this modern chaos, so many of us have forgotten to take a step back and take care of ourselves emotionally, physically and spiritually. So this article is for all my super busy, super stressed, super humans out there who are doing it all – except balancing their crazy lives with a little bit of calm amidst the proverbial storm. …

I am both excited and terrified to share the most vulnerable part of my childhood with you; and while I know that many of you may share these same sentiment’s, it breaks my heart that you do.

One of my all time favourite foods is sushi. There is something about those bite sized, delicious little rolls that when dipped in tamari sauce are irresistible to me.
I can remember being in university and going to all you can eat sushi with my best friend and boyfriend at the time, and the three of us ordered enough sushi to literally cover the entire table. I’m not sure how we managed, but we ate it all. I didn’t know then what I know now, and the idea of eating sushi at a restaurant doesn’t make me feel very good.

What you may not know about me because most of my posts and content have been about nutrition and mindfulness, is that I was a personal trainer for many years and I actually still work as a Kinesiologist. I worked in a Women’s gym for many years, I had some amazing clients and I totally loved my job.

I love soup. I love everything though… I have this thing where I think everything is the best thing ever, and I often wonder if it devalues my validity when I say I really like something, because in fact, I really like everything?
But I do really like this soup, so in order to determine if it is actually good, or if that’s just me thinking it is, you’ll have to make it, or at least some variation of it.
I love cinnamon buns. One time my friend and I travelled all the way downtown (which took nearly an hour) to get vegan gluten free cinnamon buns the day after I had a bad breakup. Cinnamon buns were obviously the only thing that was going to make me feel better.
