We often don't think about the whole process when

We often don't think about the whole process when it comes anything in life. We have a product in our hands - look at it for a few seconds and just go about our day. We so often take for granted the time and effort that goes into bringing every product to life. The people involved and each of their stories. All of the individual ingredients that have to go into pulling everything together just the way it needs to be - and all of the places and people that had get involved to make that all happen. Let's take a moment to think about that going forward and really put thought into everything that we do! @floriveraskincare - I appreciate you!

It's always a sweet time to fall into some whimsy

It's always a sweet time to fall into some whimsy and really take a break to catch some of those beautiful moments in life that come with just laying your head on the grass and looking up at the sky ☁️🌱

I always love to carry my @beemaidhoney honey packets around for those sweet moments - because you never know when they come - but you can always come prepared 🐝🍯💛

Bite This - Episode 25 - Airline Scam + Cigarettes

We all look at the world differently and sometimes

We all look at the world differently and sometimes all of our thoughts and the realities of life can weigh heavily on us. Many of us carry this weight around day after day - and before we know it - we may find ourselves in a state of deep depression.

There is usually no one right answer for anything in our lives - but one thing that we can say for sure is that acknowledging our current situation and being open to conversation and help is never a bad thing.

Let's all come together and always work to support eachother in life - so that we can all live more fulfilled and happier lives!

With the seasons changing and cold and flu season coming down - the last thing that you want - is to have sick and screaming kids that just wish they could go back out there and play, laugh and enjoy their lives! Well, that's the benefit of having @a.vogel_canada Echinaforce Junior tabs on hand - new research shows that it fights colds & flu and reduces the need for antibiotics by 76%!

Bite This - Pablo Escobar. We have all heard a thing or two about #PabloEscobar - but you might not have heard about this fun fact. There was a time when Pablo actually burned 2 million dollars in cash to keep is daughter warm. There were in a situation that required him to find logs to keep a fire going - but well - the money was a quicker and better option at the time - so he chose to burn the cash! Would you do the same? 💵🪵🔥

Now moving onto another famous criminal - #RodneyJamesAlcala. The story here is that he actually represented himself while on trial and asked himself questions in one voice then answered in another. At the end of the day he was sentenced to 25 years to life after pleading guilty to two homicides in New York. He passed away July 24th this year at 78 years old. 👩‍⚖️

Lastly, we close today's episode off with mosquitoes! 🦟 The mosquito actually remains the deadliest insect the world 🌍 Latest stats suggest that the mosquito is responsible for over 1 million deaths each year 🙀 Who knew that the biggest human killer was the mosquito - right!

Because That's What Heros Do!. There are a number

Because That's What Heros Do!. There are a number of tragic things happening around the world at all times, and a small percentage of us are fortunate enough to be living free and equal lives. Lives that are filled with opportunity and the freedom to be exactly who we want to be and to live life exactly the way we want to live it. Recent updates from Afghanistan confirm that there are now over an estimated 500,000+ civilians that have been newly displaced inside the country, due to ongoing violence and insecurity - which has brought the total uprooted population to 3.5 million. This is a huge issue and one that deserves real attention and support. We often ask ourselves how we can help and how we can be a part of something that really improves the lives of so many around the world. Now is the perfect time to spread this positive message of equality and to be a part of a larger mission to inspire the humanity that resides within us all.

Bite This - Siamese Cats, Crocodiles & Poisonous v

Bite This - Siamese Cats, Crocodiles & Poisonous vs. Venomous. In this episode - we are sharing some more fun facts!

Siamese cats have always been an interesting breed that continue to keep so many of us intrigued with their unique look and their cute appearance. If you have ever wondered how they maintain their unique discolouration - well here is the answer! Siamese cats are born with a gene that inhibits the pigment from showing through when it is above a certain temperature - that's why they have the darker tones around their eyes - and often their paws and their tails. Let's purrrr over that for a while! 🐱

Now we move on to crocodiles! Crocodiles are pretty impressive. They are quite the reptiles! Interestingly enough - they can go a full year without eating! Other animals can also go quite a long time without eating - Cats can go up to 2 weeks - Camels 2 months - Great White Shark - 3 months & the Galapagos Tortoise can also go up to 1 year.

Now if you have ever wondered what the difference between something being #Poisonous or #Venomous is - well - we're here to answer that one for you too! If you bite something and you die - that's poisonous. If something bites you and you die - well then - that's venomous - and it's as simple as that!

No Time For Nonsense ⏰. #Sponsored The best way to make a new friend is to help them when they need it most. Especially when it comes to your finances, speaking up a bit and asking for help or advice is the way to go! There is so much fear and anxiety tied to it all - but it's only because we have created this bubble around a subject that we should all be talking about on the daily.

Thankfully @eqbank has made that journey such an easy one. There is literally no nonsense - no hidden fees - just an opportunity to earn more and make every cent count. The best part about all of this is the entire experience is a #cashless one! No need to worry about carrying around that weight - we're in the digital age now - so love that we can take advantage of those advancements with EQ Bank. I say your next move should be to find a bestie and sit down with them for a coffee to chat about the important stuff! Time to start planning out your future and finances in a fun and effortless way! That's just my two cents 😉

Sometimes in life you just want to step back and appreciate all that is authentic and real. And when you move into that mindspace and you look at yourself - your skin - your hair - your body - all that makes you - you...you start to realize that you want to do everything you can to maintain that which really speaks to who you are - and who you want to be - at the very core 🧘‍♀️🤍 That's also when you start to realize that if you truly love yourself and you love your skin - then you'll want to make zero compromises in life! That definitely has been my journey - and a journey that I have been able to connect with others on - in a truly authentic and natural way. Thank you @beautybyzero_ca for complimenting my lifestyle and making sure that I'm able to make no compromises when it comes to my skin! 🤍 #ZeroSkincare #YourSkinOurPlanet

Bite This! The Homer Simpson Gene - Hong Kong Gang

Bite This! The Homer Simpson Gene - Hong Kong Gangsters & Buried Alive?. Another fun filled episode for you guys!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you played around with your genes a bit? 🤔 What would the result be? Would your eye colour change? 👀 Would you be taller, shorter, have red hair, brown hair? 👩‍💼👱‍♀️ Any one of the above changes is a possibility...when your talking about playing around with genes - but the real question is how far can we go? And most of us wonder - is there a way to get smarter? 🧠 Recent tests on mice prove that deleting a certain gene - also referred to as the 'homer simpson' gene - can make mice smarter! They can navigate through mazes more easily and are just a lot sharper and more aware! 🐁 Now that's something to chew on - isn't it?

And now moving onto money! We often hear about ransom stories and gangsters - well here's one for the books! A Hong Kong gangster kidnapped the son of Billionaire Li Ka-shing and was given 130 million dollars to release him. 💵 Well, that all sounds like an exchange that would ensure the Hong Kong gangster was set for life - but wait - he wanted more! 🤔 A few months after the kidnapping, he apparently gave Li Ka-shing a call and asked him for investment advice! Yup! You heard right!

Now, last but not least. We have all been hearing about eery stories linked to death. A subject that will forever haunt us all - but if you're looking to share a new story that will keep you curious - well here is one that is sure to stir up some interesting feelings and thoughts. A Russian woman names
Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov - 49 years old - was pronounced dead after a heart attack - then her family started with funeral arrangements. Next thing we know, she wakes up in a coffin with her relative sobbing around her and starts to scream! She realizes that they were just about to bury her alive! ⚰️ She was then rushed to the hospital, and later declared dead, 'for real' this time.
R.I.P. 🪦🙏

Sometimes a smile is all you need to get you throu

Sometimes a smile is all you need to get you through the day ☺️ These times have definitely not been the easiest for us! There are so many ups and downs in life - but it is the people that are closest to us that keep reminding us what is truly valueable in life 🤍

There are often times in life that we go through - where we see and feel like there is no reason to smile. Losing a job, losing a friend, break-ups, an extreme change in life...and so much more...but a smile from a loved one...someone who truly cares about you - well, let's just say that it can make all of the difference in the world 🌍

I remember when I left Canada for the first time, for an exchange (in Nice) ✈️ - it started out as a difficult trip for me. It was my first time away from home, my first flight, my first time living alone - but what really helped me make it through - were the smiles on people's faces 😊 Every smile and every kind word that came my way - continued to build my faith in humanity and continued to show me how kindness can really can help a person grow and adapt in a much better way!

Bite This! Aliens, UFOs, Tumors & Bull Fighting!.

Bite This! Aliens, UFOs, Tumors & Bull Fighting!. Another fun episode with more interesting facts to chew on! Many of us continue to be intrigued by Aliens & UFOs.

Richard Branson came up with some fun ideas in 1974 to tap into our ongoing curiosity with Aliens and we always love hearing more about what he is up to!

When it comes to all things mind, body and soul - the human body really can sense so much. There are cases where people have actually been able to identify when something is actually wrong - and some of us can even identify what and where the problem lies.

Bull fighting is a much-debated sport. Many of us question how this works and what the meaning is behind so much of it. Now we find out more about matadors and why the capes are red.

Episode 19 - The Rain Man - Volcanos - Man Who Sle

Episode 19 - The Rain Man - Volcanos - Man Who Sleeps All Year. Another episode where we talk about fun facts and interesting quirky things!

We reference Laurence Kim Peek - who was known as a "megasavant"! He had an exceptional memory, but he also experienced social difficulties, possibly resulting from a developmental disability related to congenital brain abnormalities.

Volacanos are definitely something that we have to deal with on an environmental basis - some countries around the world are more susceptible to volcanos than others.

There is a 42 year old man named Pukharam who lives in India and sleeps 300 days a year, due to a rare disorder called Hypersomnia - is family has to take care of him around the clock to ensure that he is bathed and nourished while he sleeps!

Sometimes it is the simplest things in life that are the most beautiful. Over the years I have developed a new appreciation for The Poppy! 🌺 Something so natural and beautiful that has so much meaning behind it. Growing up in Canada - I had the opportunity to experience the most beautiful things - "Freedom" landing right at the top of that list. Freedom to speak my mind - freedom to be myself - freedom to make my own choices - most importantly the freedom to live life exactly the way I want to live it. Thank you the @royalcanadianlegion for being a continuous reminder of all the sacrifices that have been made by so many, to give us the life that we have today. 🙏 One of the ways that I also show my appreciation is by sporting some of the beautiful pieces that are available on the ThePoppyStore.Ca 📎 This gorgeous scarf and poppy earrings are exactly what I wanted to wear to close off this amazing month of July - where we celebrate all things Canadian! 🧣🇨🇦 Thank you RCL for all that you do and for always working to bring light to the beauty to the Poppy - and it's meaning - in so many incredible ways! 🌺🙏

Episode 18 - China - Rohingya Refugees in Banglade

Episode 18 - China - Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh - Tornados 🙏. With life comes the possibility of us facing a number of environmental disasters - and then having to find ways to deal with those circumstances. Particularly in certain parts of the world where there is more poverty and struggle on a day-to-day basis - this can definitely be a much bigger issue - and much more support is required. We share some clips and information in this episode that speak specifically to some of the ongoing environmental disasters that really impact a number of lives in a very real way.

Monsoon season comes every year and lands between May and October. You might be wondering what comes with a Monsoon? Tons of rain - strong winds, lightning strikes and rising water levels - many refugee families may lose their shelters. This creates an urgent need for support and is a very traumatic time for all who are affected. We wanted to specifically call out the work that @unhcr_canada is doing to help Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh. Let's all come together to do what we can do to support this cause - please see the UNHCR donation page to find out more. There are always natural disasters and other traumas faced around the world - but where our humanity comes in is in our ability to help each other out when it matters most.

It's That E-See! - My Laser Eye Surgery Journey wi

It's That E-See! - My Laser Eye Surgery Journey with @lasikmd. Have you been thinking about getting laser eye surgery? 🤔 Well here I am to tell you my story! 🙌

Also before I get started - wanted to let you know that you can get $300 off your custom LASIK with code LMD-chicsophistic! Don't wait too long, discount expires October 31st, 2021! 🎁🎉

*Procedure is redeemable at all LASIK MD Clinics, except clinics located in the provinces Alberta & British Columbia.

And now back to my story...

So, I have been thinking about it for a very long time! I was in denial about my eye-sight for years. I remember the early days when my friends were all trying to tell me that I needed glasses - and I was brushing it off - thinking I was "just fine thank you" - taking notes from the front counter in the classroom...and well, eventually it came time to acknowledge the reality - my eyesight was definitely declining and I needed to start looking for a solution for sure!

Fast-forward to today - many mish-mash notes later - flashing back to those moments where I was waving at people that I didn't know - thinking they were my friends (and realizing as I got closer that they were indeed strangers), and several pairs of glasses and boxes of contacts later - I finally decided I was going to go for it and solve the problem...once and for all.

This is where my journey with @lasikmd began! I had the opportunity to collaborate with them and take this plunge with a team that made this feel like the easiest and most effortless decision in my life. From the very start, they made me feel so extremely comfortable - explained the entire process with so much patience and detail - and made sure that I was filled in every step of the way - so that I would know what was coming next!

The day of the surgery - I walked in and my eyes were tested one last time - all looked good (meaning that I was still a great candidate) - and then I moved on to the operating room where I was greeted by one of the co-founders - Dr. Cohen - who actually performed my surgery - and within 10 minutes I was done and ready to go! It was that E-See!
