Do you have a hard time saying 'No'? Do you put everyone else's needs before your own? Do you worry about what other people think of you? Do you agree with people because you’d like to "fit in”?

Alicia Keys Keys has been a champion of the no-makeup look for years, opening up in 2016 about her decision to stop wearing cosmetics in order to free herself from societal pressures.  "[It’s] really freeing," she said during a visit to Today. "The thing is… it kinda came from because we put so many limitations on ourselves, we put limitations on each other, society puts limitations on us, and in a lot of ways, I’m […]

I love living in Vancouver for so many reasons, ESPECIALLY this time if year because it is so incredibly beautiful in Vancouver -- it’s Cherry Blossoms Season! Pretty pink blossoms bloom for 1 -2 weeks beginning in April, (this year it’s been a week earlier than usual because of all of the gorgeous sunshine and really warm weather that we’ve been having for the past month) the city celebrates this during the annual Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival.

The #1 reason is because you’re used to being TOO nice and TOO polite. These are limiting beliefs that we formed as a child have because of how you’ve been conditioned. (We all were!) The messages that you received from your parents and in school: - Be quiet, be seen not be heard - You’re just a kid, what you have to say is not important - Sit down and stop talking - Raise your […]

"The fastest way to success is to have a coach, mentor or role model to look up to." --You've heard that before, right? What about this great quote: “Problems can't be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” - Albert Einstein Just like an athlete, a professional dancer, a singer, fitness competitor, etc. you NEED to have a Coach that has been through the struggles  so that they can help you get results […]

You may not have a meticulously organized junk drawer or a closet full of clothes organized by color or sleeve length, but perfectionist traits may still be affecting your life—and holding you back. Can you relate to any of these habits? You think in all-or-nothing terms. Something is either right or wrong, good or bad, perfect or a disaster.
