Eating Healthy While Living At Home: The Struggle You Know All Too Well
After my two weeks of Chloe Ting’s shred, I was feeling strong and invincible… that is, until I went home. It seems that old habits die hard.

Yes, Just 2 Weeks of Working Out Can Change Your Body
What started as a ‘what if’ joke between my sister and I abruptly came to an end about five minutes into Chloe Ting’s Two Week Shred Challenge, when we were swimming in puddles of sweat and wondering if we could possibly survive another 13 days.

Self Love: 3 Months Without Looking into a Mirror
Today I saw a full body mirror for the first time in over three months.

Why I Trashed My Old Workout Mentality
Being in quarantine has made me realize that I need to change the way I view and treat my body. Obviously, we have a lot of spare time on our hands right now. I’ve been trying to use some of it to work out, but I’d be lying if I said that my fridge hasn’t […]
TRAPPED ON AN ISLAND IN THAILAND – WITHOUT CORONAVIRUS
Being inside so much lately, I’ve had a lot of time to make some long overdue phone calls. There’s been one common reoccurring question: What is life like over in Thailand, living on your little island, during all of this chaos? The answer: surprisingly peaceful.
5 Days of Meditation: Day 4 – Calmness During Corona
A few months ago, heck, even a few weeks ago, I thought news of the Coronavirus would blow over in the same way that so many attention-seeking stories do. Little did I realize that what I thought was the peak of the pandemic was only just the beginning. Borders are closing, entire cities are shutting […]
5 Days of Meditation: Day 3 – A Beach Walk
After running some errands this morning, I decided to walk home along the beach. The island here (Koh Tao) is quiet, with tourists returning home to be with their families and take care of themselves as the Coronavirus continues to spread around the world.
