Let’s be honest — getting back into a fitness routine after the holidays is not always glamorous. There’s usually a little excitement, a little resistance, and a whole lot of “okay… let’s just start.” With my 40th birthday less than two months away, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to feel heading into this next chapter. Not just how I look, but my energy, strength, confidence etc. So here’s a realistic view at what that actually looks like right now.

So when I came across a sorrel cheesecake recipe on Instagram, I was immediately curious… and skeptical. Still, I love cheesecake, and I’m always open to trying new Caribbean-inspired desserts, so I decided to give it a go and document the experience.

Christmas is more than gifts for our family. From sorrel drink to Caribbean Christmas food and music, this is how we keep our culture and traditions alive for our kids.

If you love quick, cozy desserts, this single-serve air fryer s’mores cookie is about to be your new obsession. It’s gooey, warm, chocolatey, and takes only a few minutes to throw together—no mixing bowls, no baking trays, and no need to commit to a whole batch of cookies. This is the perfect “treat yourself” recipe for late-night cravings, movie nights, or when you just need something sweet right now.

Every year around this time, when the days get shorter and the mornings darker, I start to feel it. That subtle dip in energy, motivation, and mood that comes with Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.). It’s real, it’s common, and it can totally sneak up on you. So, instead of pretending it’s not happening, I’ve learned to lean in and build little habits that help me feel a bit more like me.

After a recent visit to Reesor’s Farm Market, where I picked up the freshest strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, I knew I had to whip up a sweet treat with them. This mixed berry ice cream is super easy to make—no fancy ice cream maker needed (though I did use my Ninja Creami because I’m a little obsessed). It’s creamy, perfectly sweet, and packed with the bright, juicy flavour of summer berries. Plus, it only uses three ingredients. Yes, really.
