Friday Fitness: Soup's On!
Hey there Blushing Brides,
Soup’s gotten a bad rap from those who have tried the cabbage soup diet, but the soup recipes we've cooked up are sure to impress your palate!
Tell me, how do your taste buds react to the thought of a warm, delicious, Malaysian Coconut Soup? Mouth-watering right? I thought so!
One of my favourite restaurants in Toronto, FOUR, invited me to their kitchen so I could learn how to make this soup at home.

Friday Fitness: Beet the Boredom of Salad
Hey there Smart Brides,
Do you think salad is nothing more than boring lettuce and tomatoes? Well, let me expand your horizons my friends! Head chef Matt Rosen from FOUR Restaurant was kind enough to invite me into his kitchen to learn how to prepare a salad so fantastic that it can be a main dish!
I wasn't always a lover of beets, but this salad is guaranteed to make a believer out of even the toughest critics! Watch the video of us preparing it here and bon apetit!

Friday Fitness: Bare a Beautiful Back!
Hey there Smart Brides,
What’s the best accessory to match an elegant updo and a sleeveless or strapless gown? A nice, defined back!
Make your upper-body tight and toned so that you feel confident when you bare some skin for your walk down the aisle. You’ll gain definition and lose inches off of your mid and upper back by doing the moves below.
Just think of how fantastic you’ll feel when you show off your gown and your body in those wedding photos!
EXPOSED AREA: BACK
EXCERCISE: Bent-Over Rows
- Use two water bottles, detergent bottles, or anything around the house that weighs approx 5 - 8lbs.
- Get in a bent over position with your back flat, pull the weights up to chest height, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Do 12 - 15 reps. Repeat 3 times.
