Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
I spent a few days downtown Edmonton with a few of my closest girlfriends. We stayed on the Gold Floor at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald; they take such good care of us there.
We enjoyed the most amazing food on the Patio and from the Harvest Room restaurants and yummy breakfasts and snacks from the Gold Lounge…
We went swimming, walked through the beautiful garden. We did venture “off campus” after we finished our professional development sessions and went to the Art Gallery of Alberta as well as The Royal Alberta Museum. Taste of Edmonton was also happening so we walked through that; the smell was incredible. We also took the funicular and walked the trail to the foot bridge to see the indigenous art installation. We met up with some other friends at Craft; I highly recommend the jalapeno mac and cheese. In the evenings we worked on a Case File.

Summertime Snacks: Dip Edition
Dips are great because they are multi-functional. From being a protein boost, to helping us incorporate more fruit and vegetables into our eating habits; adding flavour to the mundane, they are easy to make, and satisfy people of ALL ages when feeling ‘snacky’ between meals. These following dips are all of the above…
Queso Fundido from The Stay At Home Chef
Spinach Artichoke from Cooking Classy
Epic Baba Ganoush from Cookie + Kate

Beat the (Sun)Burn
Sun’s out guns out! Well, not just guns… legs, neck, face, back, etc! I have a nasty sunburn. The colour for the summer apparently is lobster red, UGH! I hope no one else is in the same boat, but in case you are; I am here to help!
My go-to treatment routine…
1. Advil to the rescue for pain relief
2. Pat down the affected areas with a cool damp (non-scratchy) towel
3. Lotion up with Aloe Vera from Seven Minerals; I love this because it doesn’t have benzocaine in it
4. Stay hydrated! DRINK LOTS OF WATER!
5. As tempting as it may be to pop blisters! Hopefully your burn isn’t that bad, but if it is DO NOT POP THE BLISTERS!
6. As your burn heals, your skin peels (and you may feel like a snake shedding it’s skin); this doesn’t mean that your treatment plan is over. Continue to moisturize! I highly recommend Burt’s Bees Aloe & Coconut After Sun Soother
7. If you are like me and you struggle to NOT itch; take an anti-histamine like Benadryl; I have also found that Polysporin (hydrocortisone cream) is also helpful at this point
8. While you are healing make sure you cover up your skin when outside!
9. Learn your lesson! Apply sunscreen, I suggest Aveeno
*Obviously burns are SERIOUS business! When in doubt, always consult your doctor!
From the bar to the patio; I simply love potato skins. These recipes go beyond the typical cheese and bacon; they are ‘fancy” and delicious!
