I'm a french-canadian girl who loves healthy living through healthy food. My husband is my personal guinea pig - and he doesn't mind.
Pet peeve: Not making things from scratch. Too many products contain unnecessary additives such as preservatives, artificial flavour/colour, not to mention the neurotoxins we spray on our fruits and veggies!
Loves to: Buy organic! Some things taste the same, but carrots and potatoes taste SOOO much better. Eating healthy and keeping crap out is your best bet to staying healthy!
