• Pumpkin Spice & Everything NiceOctober 1, 2026

  

  Love this time of year when it gets just a bit cooler, but for the most part you can still keep the windows open, but have a blanket at hand. The crunching of leaves underfoot (although the crunchies started earlier this year).

  As it gets cooler it is time to break out the heartier drinks – hot cocoa, flavoured coffee – yes pumpkin spice is nice, I like a little more cinnamon, and apple cider. Homemade anything is best, the cocoa from scratch made with real cream. We get ours local from Express Ridge Dairy in St. Jacobs (across from the market, just of Hwy. 86 at the lights), or from Eby Manor just down Sawmill Rd. outside the village of St. Jacobs.

  I also like checking out new flavours of granola. Experimenting with all the different types of nuts, seeds, fruit and seasonings. I never make the same kind twice, although I should write down what I put in and how much. It will be that one time that it turns out so amazing and I haven’t written it down. But so far they have all been pretty yummy, so all is good. I find granola is great in the morning as it fills me up and I last until lunchtime before I feel hungry. Sumac and pine tea are going to be ones I experiment with this year. Do you have a favourite recipe you can share that I could pass along to others?

  Hiking The Neighbourhood

  As the season gets underway, I have made a great effort to get up early, even though it is getting darker. We have built a new covered deck at the far end of our property that I have dubbed ‘The Sanctuary’. A friend built it for us with hubby’s help. I am there as I am typing this post, and it is so peaceful out here. We are very lucky that our neighbours rarely use their backyards at all. We get to enjoy the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and bees that we share the backyard space with. We also inherited a fire table that is close by. It is a great space away from the house where we aren’t sidetracked by the phone, dishes, household chores (that’s for later in the evening once the moquitos come out). Hoping to use the space in the winter too, those perfect winter days where it’s actually kinda gorgeous out, mild, no wind, and sun. We’ll see how that goes.

  

  After breakfast we try to go for a hike if I don’t have any clients in the morning. Discovering new local trails and some a little farther out. Found one in New Hamburg the other day, Mike Schout Wetlands Preserve. A nice easy boardwalk, and there are herons, turtles, butterflies, ducks and when we were there lots of grasshoppers. Plus it’s free to park and walk around.

  The Cambridge to Paris Rail Trail is another easy hike, it’s also used by bikes and runs along the Grand River. If you go early, you may spot some deer along the path.

  I find going for a hike in the morning gives me a sense of accomplishment for the day even if I don’t do much of anything else for the day.

  A Great Time To Reset

  Fall is a great time to take a moment for yourself after all the hustle and bustle of getting the kiddo’s back to school and getting back into the swing of things after vacation mode. You did take vacation, right? Even if you didn’t necessarily go anywhere, just to get a bit of downtime for yourself is so important for your mental health.

  As the weather cools, especially in the evening, take a moment and sip a hot tea while curled up with a cozy blanket, or even break out a good book that got put on the backburner of all that was summer (especially if you didn’t really get a chance to unwind, you know, beaches, picnics, family time, games, sightseeing).

  

  I plan on making an apple cider punch without the cider part (I find it just a little too sweet for my liking). A friend made this punch with apple juice and fresh spices and mulled it on the stove for the afternoon. It is amazing! At our local apple farm just outside St. George we picked up a huge bag of Honeycrisp ‘seconds’ for a good discount. Found out the hard way Honeycrisp isn’t great for baking, but it might work nicely in the apple cider. Fingers crossed!

  October Specials

  A great time to take care of your feet. I’ve got you! Pedicure specials are here! Don’t forget to check out my October promos for the month! Some great ‘take homes’ when you book.

  See you soon! Sandra

• Simplicity Is KeySeptember 2, 2026

  

  I’m hoping everyone enjoyed their summer and was able to spend it with friends, family, or even alone if your situation called for it. I was able to enjoy all 3 aspects during the summer.

  We did/are still enjoying our bountiful harvest from our garden. We have so much that we are sharing with friends, family, clients, and some senior centres. My husband is building a covered pergola out back where we can sit and relax in the mornings and evenings. We are considering for him to do some meditation classes out there as well for the fall, still working on details for that.

  So yes, lots of canning to do. We have done pickles beets, tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce so far with far more to come. I am trying to collect the tomatoes before they get too ripe because sometimes you get bottom rot, so I’d rather let them ripen on a window sill. At the peak, I have tomatoes in our kitchen window, bedroom window, living room and the bay window on the west side of the house. The freezer will be jammed with choppped white turnip and rutabaga for stews and soups, and a friend will trade our potatoes for some leeks she grew. So far we dug up 2 wheelbarrows full of red potatoes (haven’t even gotten to the russets yet, yikes!). Hubby has made 2 huge shepherds pies so far. So much more to do!

  Easing Back

  As I get older I find I want things simplified. My home, my clothes, my health routine, even social media (don’t even get me started on the passwords, verification codes, I’m Not a Robot, and Click on images with Bicycles!, Subscribe Here if You Want To Edit Anything, Baaah! – who is with me on this?).

  So first, get rid of clutter. I desperately need to get rid of some childhood things (because my mom kept it, so did I), okay, easier said than done. I read somewhere that instead of keeping all the toys, select say 3 special ones and donate(if in good shape) or sell the others. Perhaps the toys could be incorporated into something useful (top of a walking stick, glued onto a frame of a family photo, glued onto a rock to use as a doorstop) This is a great idea for anyone who keeps their kids projects/papers, etc., you don’t need every drawing Sally made through public school, select one or 2 and frame it to add to your study, put that 1st clay piece ever made on a bookshelf, get rid of the rest. The less ‘stuff’ you have the less stressed you become. Isn’t that a quote from someone?

  

  Clothing is another one. Things that don’t fit anymore, hmm, ain’t gettin’ back into that anytime soon, tossed…finally…took awhile, but I did it. Clothes never worn, gone. Sometimes it’s really difficult, because you spent money on it, hard earned money.

  I finally learned over the years that it’s a bit of a chore to decide what to wear, this doesn’t go with that, or doesn’t look right with such and such. My personal solution was to buy ‘pretty little dresses’. I definitely don’t like frilly, but I do enjoy ‘flowy’. They are now my go to. A little harder in winter, but for fall I am looking for heavier fabrics, or even things I can layer. Shoes are a different challenge. Simple sandals or a closed toe flat (don’t forget some arch support for the win).

  Health and beauty are the same deal. So much makeup when I was younger (I just loved all the pretty colours!). Now it’s just a bit of coconut or castor oil on my lashes, a bit of natural organic eyeliner and a pinch of my cheeks for colour. I don’t bother with lipstick as I don’t have a lovely full pouty mouth like some ladies do, so a handmade all natural lip balm – sometimes tinted will do me just fine. There is nothing worse than dry lips (cue the water intake here for hydration as well).

  

  Toothpaste is a no go for me. I have resorted to an all natural remedy and have not had a cavity in 3 years (touch wood). Flossing is imperative as well. I am not so much into trying to style my hair, especially in the summer when it’s humid, frizzy galore, it’s either cut short or put up in a ponytail or clip. Right now I have it cut in long lengths and wear it up in a clip as the texture has changed a bit. So for now it works for me. Easy peasy.

  I find I have to go with the flow more now than stress about things. It’s just easier. But make no mistake, I am not a pushover. I can and will adapt where and when it is called for, but I weigh out what is worth stressing over and what is not. Definitely an ongoing project and one I do on a daily basis.

  My next project is my basement, which a friend named Fraggle Rock. It’s not that bad…is it? There is a lot of ‘stuff’. I’ll keep you posted.

  If you have any natural remedies that you enjoy using, please send them along, so I can pass onto others.

  Until next time! Sandra

  P.S. Don’t forget to check out my summer promo! You might even get some extra yummies from the garden to take home. Kidding…not kidding.

• Hot Fun In The SummertimeAugust 5, 2026

  

  Yup, it’s the time of year to take some time off, relax, have fun, do a little gardening, cottage time, day trips, head to the beach, campfires, read a good book, you get the idea.

  I find my business slows a little as people indulge in their right to vacation and take time out while the weather is great. And that’s a good thing. It gives me time to sit back, relax, reflect, get creative and just be in the moment.

  Smoke On The Water…

  On our vacation this year we went up to Manitoulin Island once again. Our second day the winds and haze started, got a sniffly nose, sneezing and dry throat. Took some allergy meds, then later on got a massive headache and went to the closest gas station and picked up some headache tablets for a crazy amount of money, but hey, whatever works at the moment. My senses were off and I was forgetting things and couldn’t find what I had just put away a few minutes earlier, what the heck was going on? This was not me, I am usually right on top of things and it was a little disconcerting.

  Felt much better later in the evening. Next morning I woke early and the sky was a weird red from what I could see lying in the tent. I woke my hubby and suggested we should pack up because I thought a storm was brewing (and anyone who has camped knows that’s the worst when you have to break down/set up camp in the rain). He said wait a bit, so a little later it was still weird, so I checked weather on my phone and saw the news releases about the wildfires in Quebec and near Thunder Bay and read about the effects they have on health. Ohhhh, that’s what it was, and what caused my issues.

  

  After we broke down camp and travelled north, all the way through the sky was eerie orange and ghostly hazy. Even our car lights came on it was that dark. Very weird feeling. As we drove north to our destination of Chutes Provincial Park, the skies cleared a bit but still a little smoky until later evening. We were able to have campfires there as it wasn’t as dry as on the island.

  I thought of my friends and clients who have respiratory issues and hoped they were able to stay indoors with the air conditioning on. It is quite something to experience that, and am thankful that I am in good health.

  Garden Treasures

  

  It’s coming to that time when tomatoes are going to ripen very soon (and I’m not ready!). We’ve already pickled beets, braided onions and garlic, chopped and froze turnip for stews, made our jam for winter, made zucchini bread for an elderly friend, and had our salads laden with little red radishes, kale, different varieties of lettuce and herbs from the garden.

  So once the tomatoes are ready it will be making spaghetti sauce, soups, and when tired of that, canning the rest up. When I get tired of canning, I will just blanche, chop and freeze in zipper freezer bags to save for another time, probably in winter when we make lots of stew. You know, those freezing cold days when you don’t mind the stove and oven being on most of the day. They will come soon enough, so for now, I will enjoy the heat.

• Hello Summer!July 2, 2026

  

  Hoping that everyone is staying cool in this heatwave we are having in Southern Ontario. Holy moly, feeling like 45° out there! Staying in, keeping curtains closed and fans on (no air conditioning), but it’s an older house with good insulation so it does stay quite nice inside.

  

  Did you enjoy Canada Day? Did you get to watch any fireworks where you are? We went to Tuscan Wolf Pizzaria in downtown Galt which opened on Monday. Such a nice inviting place with great food and decent prices. If you are in the area, give it a try and help support local business.

  Stay Hydrated!

  If ever there was a time to really keep hydrated, it is now! Sometimes when we drink so much water, it tends to backlog(?) on us, in other words, I find I just can’t swallow any more of the stuff, so I need to switch it up with some ginger ale or watered down fruit juice. Keep those electrolytes in balance or things can get weird quickly. A good way to help keep the hydration in is to have something salty. Don’t go crazy on this either, especially if you are on a restricted sodium diet (in that case, check with a health professional or local pharmacist).

  I do know that we shouldn’t drink cold water, but I can’t help having ice in mine, it’s just too good. Room temp or a bit cooler is good. Adding some lemon or lime will do the trick nicely too.

  

  If you can get to a pool, or local swimming spot, even better to cool off.

• Awaken For Spring!June 1, 2026

  

  Warm weather is finally here after the crazy spring we have had. We have been enjoying it while tending to the garden. Nice weather makes everything seem better, I always feel more grounded (probably something to do with sunshine, walking in the grass with bare feet, dopamine and all). Whatever it is I’ll take it!

  It’s time to get refreshed for the warm weather, spread your wings and try new things.

  

  AWAKEN

  Time for a fresh start if you’ve been holding on to a lot, or going through a rough spell. Look into your inner self and see if there is something missing or if there is something you should or should not be doing. Self reflection is key. Also you must be truthfully honest with yourself. Do we hold grudges? Do we look for flaws? Do we consider others feelings? Do we always need to be right? Can we agree to disagree on certain subjects? Do we enable someone? Will it be important to you in 5 hours, 5 days, 5 years (if not, let it go)?*

  FRESH STARTS- what can you do right now that would help you? What would you like to do or try? Whether it be physical, emotional or spiritual, now is the time to begin. Little steps and fresh starts.

  Do what you need to do that makes you feel better as a person, try a new hobby, exercise more, begin a journal, start writing a book, take a class that you have always wanted. You never know where it will take you, maybe it could turn into a new career for you! Maybe it could turn you into an instructor that could help someone else in their journey. You just need to begin.

  *please note-I am not a therapist, any writing is my own musing. If you are having any struggles with issues, please consult your family doctor or therapist.

  Eat The Garden

  There is nothing better than eating food that you have grown yourself straight from the garden. From planting a tiny seed and watching it grow and flourish through your nurturing, to harvesting and making a delicious dish with what you grew. Even if you don’t have a garden, you can still plant tomatoes in a pot on a balcony or in a sunny window even if it is only some herbs.

  Some herbs that you can try that are beneficial are Chammomile which is great for indigestion and jangled nerves. Also helps with insomnia and inflammation. You can use it as an herbal bath for relaxation.

  Lavender is great for relaxation and inflammation. Make a sachet to put under your pillow for sleeping. Pure essential oil can be used with a carrier oil to rub on the skin for inflammation. If you get culinary lavender, you can use it in your baking. I love lemon-lavender shortbread cookies.

  

  Sweet cherry tomatoes are easy to grow in a large pot on a balcony. Great for salads or you can add them to a jar of store bought spaghetti sauce for a homemade kick. Save some seeds from 1 or two tomatoes and keep for planting next year.

  Do you have any favourite herbs or veggies that you like to plant? What is your go-to plant?

  Enjoy the rest of spring as I’ve heard it is going to be quite hot and dry for summer. We’ll see what happens! Until next time, stay hydrated!

• Everything New & FreshMay 3, 2026

  April was the month of ups and downs weatherwise, what a rollercoaster! I think it is the coldest spring that we have had here in southern Ontario in a long while. As I type this I have a little space heater blowing on my feet.

  

  With that said the crocus, tulips and daffodils are doing their thing. I planted my pansies and they are loving this cool weather. A great tip for keeping squirrels from eating your tulips: make a spray of a little water, a good couple tablespoons of Castor Oil, and a bit of dish soap to make it runny and put in a spray bottle, I made up about a cup of it. Shake it up and spray it on tulips, pansies, the soil and rocks around the area. Apparently they don’t like the smell of the Castor Oil. I sprayed it on and so far so good, no eaten bulbs, fingers crossed. I spray again after it rains. My peas are poking up, although something has been digging in the garden looking for yummy things, so they may have gotten a few. As well, this is the first year, our back lawn has holes dug into it, my husband thinks maybe possums looking for grubs. I would be mad, but honestly I don’t care about the lawn so much, we can’t eat grass anyways, so to me not a biggie. Speaking of which, grass is getting longer with all the rain we’ve had, ugh. Now my garden is a different story, garlic is growing nicely and I just planted onions yesterday. We put up a little greenhouse in one corner and are starting some kale, squash, more onions and hyssop so far.

  I do love the earthy smells of spring. Having said that, I do not enjoy the floofy things in the air that cause springtime allergies. some years are better than others, and this year so far so good, only one half day of sniffles and sneezes so far. Can anyone else out there relate?

  I was able to make a small batch of strawberry jam from last years berries, as we ran out earlier. It should be just enough to get us through to berry season.

  This past week has been crazy, had plants out and windows open, even overnight, and then we had to close windows, have the heat back on and bring our plants back in and into the little greenhouse. With all the up and down weather, hubby has got a bit of a spring cold and has been trying to sleep it off and out. I’m making him drink lots of tea with lemon, ginger, turmeric and honey with a splash of apple cider vinegar. Hopefully he is feeling better soon.

  New Goals For Spring

  As I get older, I’m finding it a little more difficult to stuff, you know, stiff legs and feet in the morning, not sleeping as well. So I thought I’d do something about it and went for a checkup at the doctor, and started going to get Acupuncture. The lady I am seeing is a 2nd generation Acupuncturist. So far she is wonderful, helped with my sleeping and digestion, gave me a list of some things that I should be doing as well as eating. she introduced me to an exercise of Ba Duan Jin, which is sort of a cross between Tai Chi and yoga. Whatever it is it is simple to do and I love that. I can do it if I’m waiting for the kettle to boil, brushing my teeth, or on hold on a call. The acupuncture is not covered so I do have to pay for it out of pocket and is not cheap, but my health is worth it, so it is something I am willing to do. Also it is a good motivation for actually doing any exercises or changes in diet that are suggested. I will keep you posted on future results.

  Hitting The Trails Again

  

  We have once again started hiking the trails. Sometimes in the winter and early spring, they can be tricky because of ice, so usually we end up just walking around the neighbourhood which is fine too, just not as exciting or not always very scenic. Trying to choose trails with some hills, nothing huge, but just to get a good cardio workout. I’ll have to check out some other trails in the area, maybe some Kitchener ones.

  New Promo for Mothers Day!

  Check out my Mother’s Day Promo’s. This one is only for 4 days and is starting to book up, so snag your spot early. Head to the Promo page for more info. Mom is worth it for sure!

• SpringtimeApril 3, 2026

  

  What a bit of a wicked spring we’ve had so far, freezing, thunder, lightning and heat, oh my! Snowdrops are out, tulips, crocus and daffodils are starting to come up and buds are just beginning to fatten up. I can always tell when it’s really going to get nice, when the lilac buds get really chubby. And don’t forget the official first day of spring is when one can eat breakfast outside. And that day is today! April 3, 2026. Wohooo, so happy!

  Is it just me or does the Weather App keep changing it’s mind every hour? Rain for the whole day, then an hour later it has moved to rain in a couple hours, now it’s sunny, but the app says it’s raining…what is going on? And it never does end up raining that day. I don’ get it.

  We did get a couple nice days and set out patio furniture and such. Planted our peas before the rain started the other day. Even if it does get frosty or snows, they don’t care, they like the cool weather. Just no raking yet as the beneficial insects are still sleeping in the leaf litter, it is hard not to, but I go around the garden and trim up any long grasses or dead tops of plants, just to make it look a little neater.

  Rhubarb Recipes

  

  Does anyone have any good rhubarb recipes out there? This year I want to make candied rhubarb or pickled rhubarb. Tried it out east one year on a dessert and it was sooo good!

  

  Time For Renewal

  This is the perfect time of the year to start anew if you are looking for a change up. The first warm day you have all to yourself with no agenda is the perfect place to start. Begin when you wake up in the morning, before you even get out of bed, say to yourself ‘this is my time, and I am going to work on me, I am going to be gentle with myself, not rush anything, and if I make a mistake today, i will forgive myself’, take a few deep breaths, get a good stretch in and begin your day.

  Get a glass of water in before you get your breakfast as it will aid in digestion. If your stomach is not feeling it this morning, try grated fresh ginger or ground ginger and lemon juice with a little honey in boiled water and drink that. Soon you will feel your stomach and intestines start working their magic. I even add some black pepper and turmeric sometimes too. If you feel a sore throat or cold coming on also add some apple cider vinegar.

  This day you don’t even have to have a schedule planned, just do you. If you want to walk to the library or downtown or to the park, go ahead. Go ahead and stop by the local pastry shop and pick up a yummy snack for later in the day. Don’t forget to smile and say hello to people you pass, this is an instant pick-me-up. Most of the time people will say hello back, others may not but that’s ok too. Sometimes people will start a conversation about the weather, traffic, or a certain store or something, you can keep it light and head on your way or you may start chatting with them.

  Maybe this is a good time for you to start exercising, again, start slow, go for a walk, mix it with a short jog, try a hill. Just be mindful and take it all in, stop to check out the river, watch the ducks playing. Soon you will feel good.

  At the end of the day, praise yourself, say ‘I did the best I could do and I am proud of myself’. End your day with a short meditation, sit in a comfortable spot and focus on your breathing, breathe into your belly and slowly exhale. Do this a few times and your body will start responding to relaxation.

  Just start out slow, you’ve got this!

  New Hot & Cold Stone Modality

• Happy International Women’s DayMarch 8, 2026

  

  Today we are celebrating all women young and old! Building each other up, standing strong for one another, sticking by each other, and cheering all women on.

  I was always a shy kid, never much talked to anyone unless spoken to, very introverted. But I listened. I learned. Just like the crow who observes and watches and learns how to sort out problems, using tools or making tools, and finds a means to an end.

  Somewhere along the line I slowly emerged from my shell and became my own woman. Trying to be kind and helpful, listening when needed, not giving my advice, but giving an honest opinion if asked. It all seems to be about observing and setting boundaries; with a little luck and being there at the right time thrown in. Anyways, everyones recipe is different and you need to find your own recipe for the most part, but you can choose to borrow parts of someone else’s recipe to help create your own.

  I also found you have to adapt in life, that’s a biggie. As much as we want things or people to stay the same, they almost always don’t. People grow and change and move out of your life, but others move into your life. I believe there are reasons people show up in your life when they do. You may need something or to learn something from them or they need to hear or learn something from you. Have you ever just met someone, say in a long line waiting and you hit up a conversation with the person behind you, and it seems like you’ve known them already once you two get talking? That used to happen to my mom all the time when we went to the mall. I find it happens to me now and I kind of enjoy it and think about what that person taught me at that time (it could be gratitude, or patience, or humility)

  I found a quote quite a while back that really resonated with me and I painted it on a piece of wood that I keep near where I can see it everyday.

  “Be bold and courageous, when you look back on life you’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones you did” -H. Jackson Brown Jr.

  How powerful is that? I always read it when I get scared of doing something, but kinda really want to do it. Hence how I came to be a Reflexologist later in life, and it became my retirement career.

  I was working a full-time job and doing my Reflexology on the side, all was going well. Then Covid hit and something changed in the workforce that did not resonate with me, and I was becoming miserable. So over the next couple years I had a plan that I wanted to start my own Reflexology business and do it full-time as my retirement career. One day I made up my resignation letter and handed it in the next day. It just so happened a co-worker had just come back from a trip a week later and she got me a farewell gift. That gift was a book by Debbie Travis ‘Design Your Next Chapter’. Bingo! I took it as a sign that I was on the right course. I have never looked back, and continue to look forward. If I ever have any doubts, I always read my little hand-painted sign and it gives me the answer I need.

  I hope you find your inspiration in life and follow your dreams and aspirations. Keep building each other up and supporting other women around you whenever you can!

• In Like A Lion Or A Lamb?…March 1, 2026

  

  What a crazy mix of winter we got this year! Like many people, I will be glad when winter is over. Let’s hope March goes out like a lamb. Counting the days until spring solstice. At least the days are getting longer, and we can hand onto that.

  What have you been doing to keep yourself grounded and well? Have you been booking treatments for yourself and getting in lots of ‘you’ time? Grounding is also a good way to keep in the now, taking Epsom salt baths, using some calming 100% pure essential oils like lavender, and creating a cozy space for yourself while you read a book. It’s all about you and your wellness this month!

  Are You In A Brain Fog?

  A lot of people these days tell me they are in a bit of a brain fog, or can’t quite get into their zone. I get it. This is the time you need to take care of yourself and your mental well being. Doing nothing is doing something. We need to reset our bodies and minds to be able to function in order to look after ourselves, our families, and on top of that work. It’s a lot. Even if you can get just 10 minutes (20-30 would be ideal), get yourself somewhere quiet (bathroom, guest room, laundry room – they’ll stay away from there!) and just sit or stand with your eyes closed, slowly breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Try to belly breathe, keeping your shoulders down and not moving them. Try this about 4 times slowly and see how that feels. Bring in peaceful thoughts and affirmations such as, ‘I am healthy, I am safe, I am free, I am strong, and I am loved’. Repeat this mantra as many times as needed. What you feed your body is what it feels. No negative thoughts here, because your body doesn’t know any different! Good vibes in, good vibes out.

  

  New Modality Coming Soon

  I’m excited to be bringing a new modality into my practice soon to be able to help you achieve your wellness goals. It’s going to be a great one, so stay tuned! You can follow me on Instagram @samurphy.reflex or on Facebook at Sandra A. Murphy Wellness Studio.

  Also, don’t forget to check out my newest Promotion on my Promo page.

  Looking forward to seeing you and helping out with your wellness goals soon!
