Life Candy: about me because I know you're dying to find out

Hi! My name is Nenette, and I'm a Philippines-born/Canada-raised mum & wife. I'm currently a SAHM and part-time blogger.

In previous lives, I've been a software design engineer, hula & tahitian dance instructor, waitress at a campus restaurant, boutique model, and bassist for a new wave rock band.

I love soft cotton sarongs, sci-fi, sashimi, and my pretend boyfriend Gerard Butler. I loathe sticky spills, -30C windchill, and the word "moist".

And my favourite colour is burgundy. With sparkles.

This Blog is...

my personal blog and work-at-home gig.
about my adventures with family and friends, life improvement, natural health and beauty self-experimentation, simple and stylish living, going green, weird and wonderful web finds, and the joys of being a girl.
updated almost everyday, but if I miss a day or two, it's because I think you need to do some work, read a book, or maybe go to the bathroom.

The Fine Print

I write a lot about my health and fitness journey. I also do A LOT of research - however, my background is in software design/engineering, not medicine. So, please be sure to see your health care professional before you try anything I'm trying for myself.

I also apologize for any overuse of the word "really".

Without these people, my blog would look entirely different...
