A couple of weeks ago Janet checked in with her surgeon for her wrist. Everything looks great. In the meantime, she opted into a study that is being conducted on bones and recovery time. Since then she has received two phones calls from a practitioner to gather information about her accident. We will leave it at that. Let's just say Janet took a moment to educate the woman on the other line.

***SPOILER ALERT*** Pamella's birthday was on May 9th so her and Janet went to see the new release, I Feel Pretty staring Amy Schumer. Janet had no idea what to expect. Let's just say we both adored the movie and the main message really hit home. So hard in fact, that there were many tears. Come along on the journey as we share our thoughts about the movie and the main message, and Pamella also shares her Lululemon melt-down. We highly recommend that all people of all ages check this movie out. The message is potent and timely in a culture that is obsessed with body image and extreme fitness and dieting.

About a month ago Janet and I discovered this great new place that opened up in Kananaskis in the Rocky Mountains in Alberta called Nordic spa. So we did a little bit of research and we decided that although it’s newly opened and has a little bit more development to be done that we wanted to be one of the first people to check out this new experience. This past weekend we packed our bags and we headed out to the Rocky Mountains for just a brief weekend getaway. There we experienced a full day at the Nordic spa and got to connect with the vice President of spa development Jennifer Buckler. This is a woman that is filled with so much knowledge and vision when it comes to the spa experience. She shared with us the vision, the mission, and the intention behind the Nordic spa and how it’s really centred around the idea of the ancient practice of hydrotherapy cycling. Listen on for more information about the benefits and the research behind hydrotherapy cycling. Then Jennifer also shared with us the idea of the
