There is something especially appealing about chai teas during the cold winter months. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the warming, spicyness of the aromatic herbs that mix together to create the chai blend...Or maybe it is its exotic origins of the far and warm east that gives chai its appeal. Whatever it is, chai tea is my favourite tea for the cold weather!

But even in cold weather, we need to keep our bodies moving and exercising! So why not go, workout, sweat and then recover with a tasty and nutritious Banana Chai Protein Shake?!

Get ready for your BIG day with PGX!

You've got enough to think about without having wedding gown zip-up anxiety when planning a wedding! 

This past weekend I attended the wedding of a childhood friend; today is the wedding annversary of my grandparents; a few weeks ago I went dress shopping with one of my best friends... There is a lot of wedding related activity happening for me this month! I realize that summer is the most popular season for weddings and now is the time to start preparing!

With so many things to think about (cake, food, music, flowers, favours, venue, invitations and guest list, etc., etc., etc.!), why not cross of the wedding dress from that list?! Once you've found the dress, that's one check mark on the list, but it may also come with weight anxieties.
