I am so excited to finally be joining the healthy living blog world! I must confess I have been a stalker reader for some time now and am super excited to finally be jumping on board!!
That being said – let me introduce myself! My name is Kristin, but you can call me Krissy, and I have always had a passion for nutrition and leading a healthy lifestyle. I will save my story for another post, but I will tell you, like so many other women out there, I spent many many years locked in an unhealthy relationship with food and exercise. It has taken a lot of hard work and a lot of support from loved ones, but I have now “seen the light”. It is now my mission to promote self confidence and self acceptance among young girls and women. I have learned so much along my journey and if I can help to prevent even 1 person for going down the path I went down it would mean the world to me.
I am currently a registered nurse but am in school working towards becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. It is my hope that you all will come along with me in my journey to completing school and hopefully starting my own practise. I’m sure there will be lots of bumps and hiccups along the road but I also know that this is my passion and what I am meant to be doing. I hope to share my knowledge, recipes and inspire others to embark on a healthy lifestyle.
Before I end my first post, I want to introduce you to the character’s in my life 
First there is ME, I am 27 years old (gulp, I swear I still feel like 21!!!)
Then there is a my wonderful hubby of two-years, who you will be known to you as The Condo King (TCK) – more on that in the future, I promise!
Oh LaLa – Ladiessss look at those pipes!!!!!!
And finally, the apple of our eye, the love of our life….
Meet Zak – our 4 year old tea cup Pomeranian – I promise to give him lots of air time on this blog!
So there you have it - a short introduction. I have so much more to share, so please come back and visit often! Please feel free to leave questions/comments/advice – I can’t wait to here from all of you wonderful people Please also feel free to contact me privately by email as well at: balanceisbeauty@rogers.com
I am so excited to be taking this new journey and look forward to meeting lots of wonderful new friends in the process!!
xoxo

Great to meet you on Sunday at Fresh! We should keep in touch about school and stuff! I look forward to hearing more from you!
Ps. I shared the coconut macaroons with my bf and he was REALLY excited about them…thanks again!
Melanie says...

i think whenever you post photos of your dog you are going to have to bold the rest of your text – it’s very distracting!!!
very cool blog thus far and thank you for the macaroons on sunday. i just ate my last one this minute (which prompted me to visit your page). YUMMY!
Krissy (Balance is Beauty) says...
Hey Alex!
I am SO excited we are both taking the same program – lets definitely keep in touch. I’m so happy your BF liked the macaroons as well – this is one healthy treat I can actually get my husband to eat as well
Keep in touch!

Hi Melanie! It was great to meet you as well! I love meeting people who share the same passion as I do! Please keep in touch and hopefully we can meet up again soon!
Krissy (Balance is Beauty) says...
I think you’re right – I better limit the amount of air time he gets because he may take over the spotlight
Thanks for checking out my blog! It was great to meet you, please say in touch – you were at the far end of the table so we didn’t get to chat much – but hopefully we can meet up again soon
Please come back and visit me
