REBOUNDING

“Jump up, Jump up and get down”…

There is nothing like waking up in the morning to a good stretch and a little bounce on the rebounder!! What a fabulous way to start your day.  I’ve heard that rebounding burns more calories than jogging.  Some health benefits for Trampoline bouncing can strengthen your heart, improve your circulation, revitalize vision, reduce stress, benefit children with learning disabilities and cystic fibrosis and most of all stimulate and improve the flow in your lymphatic system.  Your lymphatic system rids the body of toxins, dead cells, cancer cells,  bacteria, infectious viruses, foreign substances and heavy metals.  So go out and buy one today and start jump’N.

Another great way to improve and stimulate your lymphatic system is getting a Lymphatic Drainage Massage.

My mother told me when I was little if I swallowed the seeds from a watermelon I would have a melon grow inside my belly.  Well…I totally believed her.  One of my many nicknames as a child was Melon Belly.  I loved watermelon and could never get enough of it!  Yummy…my mouth is watering just thinking about it!  I use to almost eat the whole melon…or at least till my stomach would balloon out.

Here is one of my favorite summer salads:

Refreshing Watermelon Salad

Recipe:

1. Cut up Watermelon into cubes

2. Fresh Basil

3. Olive oil

Easy peasy

Helping Hand

About a month ago I got a phone call from a friend Stacey Fulcher – Event and Sales Manager from the Boiler House Restaurant.   Stacey and some of the hard working staff from the restaurant, volunteered their time at a fundraising event for the CNIB camp on Lake Joseph in Muskoka. The Boiler House’s Director of Operations - Jason Rosso and Executive Chef – Eric Pless donated all the food and wine for the event. They needed a helping hand and thought of me. I bartended for the night and had a blast working with friends, meeting some very interesting people and listened to amazingly talented musicians.  I also got a chance to promote my Dockside Spa business and I ended up booking up the next week with some local cottagers.   A few of the amazing people that I was delighted to meet that night were Martin Short and Catherine O’Hara.  They were both very lovely in person…Oh how they make me laugh!!
