If you follow me on instagram then you definitely know that I moved into a new house last May, because I basically beat you over the head with that information in the form of badly lit cell phone pictures of every room in my house every single time I buy one tiny piece of decor […] Read more…
I’m Ardra and I write Tripping on Air, a lippy blog about my life with multiple sclerosis (MS). People tell me it’s funny and I believe them because I’m an egomaniac. Lisa asked me to write a guest post about why I write with humour, about something so effing awful. Lisa is lazy or she […] Read more…
I feel like we need to get caught up. It’s kind of like we’ve been drifting lately and I don’t like that at all. I need to work on us more, I know. I need to give you more attention. And I will, I swear. This is the first step in doing that. I am […] Read more…
People have said to me on many occasions that I know who I am and I’m not afraid to be myself, and I think that’s just their way of nicely saying that I’m really weird and I do a terrible job of hiding that. Which is way better than being told I’m “unique.” God I hate […] Read more…
This week’s yoga update is short and sweet (very sweet…and you’ll see why in a second). Also, I am currently obsessed with looking at gifs of different horrible faces that Tobey Maguire has made in his films and they pretty much sum up every emotion I feel during a 60 minute hot yoga class.

Well, I’ve done it! I have survived my first week of our 30 Day Yoga Challenge. I’m not sure I could do any of this without my best sweat pal Katie Phillips. I have gone to hot yoga 5 times in the past 7 days and 4 of those days I woke up and said […] Read more…

My story about my very embarrassing first attempt at hot yoga went story-viral (not to be confused with puppies-trying-to-climb-stairs video-viral) and, much to my surprise, I was contacted yesterday by a HuffPost producer who […] Read more…
Yesterday morning I woke up and got ready for work. I put a lot of effort into getting my hair into a sock bun (or bitch bun as I sometimes call them) and it actually worked out pretty well. I don’t even think you could see the grey wool sock beneath my hair this time! Then […] Read more…
We all spend our youth daydreaming about being movie stars, astronauts, or Nobel prize-winning scientists. We wax romantic about what it will be like when we are rich and our retweets reach the thousands. Usually our friends and family encourage us and tell us that those dreams are realistic, whether they actually believe that or […] Read more…
Today I went to a gym to have an assessment done with a personal trainer. I know. I’m just as surprised as you are. I don’t really do gyms except for the few times in university that I went to the campus gym and sat on the stationary bike to watch television. But I understand […] Read more…
