I may go so far as to say that my all time favourite things to do on the weekends, is waking up early, making a pot of tea, and reading the latest scoops in the weekly New Yorker. This was exactly my lazy morning yesterday. S was still asleep, and I could hear the dog breathing heavily over in his plush bedding. The light was just starting to creep in, and I was ready to start my day, slowly. I took pleasure in the simple things, of just boiling a pot of water for tea, and reading the ...

seven moments that inspired me this week november

I know people may say this quite often, but I really can't help but feel like time is passing so quickly! The bat of an eyelash and whoosh, the day is gone. I've come to realize that as much as I may feel overwhelmed at times with what seems like I'm working three + jobs, I quite enjoy keeping busy. I like to have a full calendar because it makes me feel like I'm living life. Like I have things to do. (Lots of things. All of the things... sometimes!) Every now and again I will hit a wall and ...

seven moments that inspired me this week august 2017 nick joly

What a week! With half spent on the East Coast and half on the West, I still haven’t decided whether or not S and I are coming or going. One thing is sure, our van (named tortuga) is packed and we are already on the move from one BC city to the next. Have a look here at what we have planned for our travels in British Columbia. And here are the seven moments that inspired me this week, in this 50/50 split between Toronto and Vancouver!  ...

Every now and again, what’s old can be new. A sense of repurpose, or cleansing. There’s this painting that’s been hanging in mine and my heartmate’s living room for a little over two years now. And as someone who moves so quickly from one thing to the next, I often question the value, or the purpose of what I have in front me. Is this still interesting to me?! Does it serve a purpose? Do I still in fact, enjoy looking at it? The painting’s prior design, was of something superficial. ...

Her Majesty's Pleasure Inspired by Nick Seven Moments that Inspired Me

As April showers are now (hopefully) long gone, this week blossomed with sunshine and May flowers - just in time for momma's day! With the week leading up to today - May 14th - I was thinking quite a bit on what to get my mom for the special occasion. This week I lost a touch of wisdom, as I bid farewell to my four wisdom teeth and said hello to my newfound chipmunk cheeks. From weekend smoothie bowl recipes, to a little self-care at Her Majesty's Pleasure, and lunchtime catchups with ...

Seven moments Inspired by Nick

Two things I learned this week: Positivity attracts positivity. The little things in life sometimes bring you the most happiness. Have you ever read "the secret"? I have, and I liked it! It's all about positive thinking and the law of attraction. About how you can get exactly what you want out of life, nay, handed to you by the universe, by simply thinking positively. Crazy?! Not sure yet. For someone who seemingly has a LOT of positive days, I too wake up to my share of ...

Where to Stay in San Diego - Marriott Marquis Waterfront

This week was a special week for me as I traveled from Toronto to San Diego on a work trip. I used my down time to re-balance, let myself be grounded, assimilate to the relaxed west coast vibes and reflect on a few things that’ve been weighing on my mind.   Crazy how a couple of days in a new location can do that to you huh?! Every day was a new discovery, and a shift in perspective is sometimes all we need to see things in a new light. I learned about the benefits of earthing from a great ...

Seven Peaches to be Grateful for This Week Inspired by Nick

Eight days into the new year and I’m still wishing people a happy new year! What is the cut-off point on that anyway?! I like to pretend the whole month of January is perfectly acceptable in wishing people a happy new year. Sooooo, in light of this, HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is actually my first “Seven Moments to be Grateful for” post of 2017! I hope the holidays found everyone well! I know I made sure to take some time off to spend with my family. And for those who’ve been following along, ...

serving you post-workout sweat and redness realnes serving you post-workout sweat and redness realness rn 💪🏼🥵💦 and I just got these super convenient deodorant wipes from @forwardwithdesign for when I have to jump from lunchtime workouts to a zoom call during the week 🤫 now you know my secret! 😂 AD #forwardwithdesign #inspiredbynick

Patio season is gonna hit different this year and Patio season is gonna hit different this year and I’ll be ready to pounce! 🐆🐾🥂☀️
Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.
—
I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored
Monday? Too ruff for me... Wake me up when it’s Monday? Too ruff for me... Wake me up when it’s the weekend please and thank you! 🐕🐾 #pawsup #rufflife
I hope our paths croissant again 🥐😂 the best I hope our paths croissant again 🥐😂 the best almond croissants from gourmet privilège 🥰 #nationalcroissantday
At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
