For this week's trial, we set ourselves a budget of $100 for the week. Yes, it was an arbitrary number, and yes we mostly* stuck to it but it was still an eye-opener! Listen in to see how we made out and share if you've also tried the weekly budget and what your results were!

We have no doot aboot it that you've heard of the Marie Kondo method (or Kon Mari) which involves decluttering your home and life by methodically going through items and determining whether or not they "spark joy". And if you haven't, you're going to learn about it in this episode!

This week was such a special trial and one that absolutely filled our hearts up and we hope it does for you as well! We Canucks are known as quite the friendly and helpful bunch, so we put this to the test by starting a movement of helping out our fellow brothers and sisters. Warning: This episode will give you all the feels and if you too choose to pay it forward, it will only continue this infinite loop of kindness and caring that the world is so desperate for today!

While not a new trend per se, it does seem like more and more people are looking to the 16:8 or 5:2 versions of intermittent fasting so we wanted to trial this again for a week and share our experience with you all! Did we love it? Hate it? Improve sleep? Clear skin? Lose weight? Want to kill all the things? Find out!

We laced up our running shoes, harnessed up the hounds and ran around in the forest one afternoon to try our hand at geocaching! We were pleasantly surprised by just how fun this was and can't wait to share with all of you! Do yourself a favour and download the Geocache app (yes...there really is an App for everything these days!) so you can give it a try too!

This week (well...5 days give or take!) we went without makeup - to the grocery store, to socials, and to the office (ok ok, we have home offices but still...) While this may be a breeze for some, we did find it a bit hard! Listen to hear more.

Made popular by Julia Cameron (The Artist's Way) who advocates writing three pages of long hand stream of consciousness first thing in the morning in order to "provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand." We tried this for a week so tune in to hear our thoughts!

Drink pairing: Kicking Horse & Fluid Solar Roasted Coffee

For this trial we switched off all Netflix, Amazon Prime, streaming, YouTube, even classic TV (does anyone even have cable anymore?) We did 5 days...that's kind of a week right? Figuring weekends might be harder with partners home and movie nights sort of standard for us wild and crazy girls! But we did it and we survived and we talk all about it in this episode!

Drink pairing: Dan Akroyd Cabernet Merlot

Bonus: First rendition of rapid-fire questions with us! We ask each other 10 Q's to help you get to know us (and hopefully have a little laugh or two with us!)

Yes, you read that right! In today's hyper-connected world, we turned our iPhone's off for a full 24 hours. That's no texting, no calls, no Facebook and *gulp* no Instagram! And guess what guys? We actually survived!

Drink pairing: Flat Rock Cellars Unplugged Chardonnay

Fancying ourselves avid yogi's, and having done numerous 30 day yoga challenges in the past, we thought it would be great to do a full week of daily yoga and just pay attention to how it affected our day-to-day. No rules other than unroll the mat at least once a day for seven days in a row!
