Ever since we got Rhett I’ve been finding myself wanting to get outside and run. 5 miles down with my new running buddy and I’m digging it. I’m not saying that you need a pet to get outside and move, but you should all probably go get a pet and then get outside and move. That is all. #workout #run #fitfluential #dogsofig #dogsofinstagram #wheaten #wheatenterrier #toronto #sabsandrhett A photo posted by Davida (@thehealthymaven) on Nov 2, 2015 at 1:02pm PST

HOLY GUACAMOLE! THM officially hit 10k on Instagram! I can’t even begin to explain how excited that makes me. For real, you guys are THE BEST! For those of you who are new here or have wondered who’s behind the lens of those pretty food pics, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Davida (pronounced DaVEEda – everyone gets it wrong!) and I am the blogger, writer, photographer and primary taste-tester behind The Healthy Maven. I’m pretty damn stoked to have you here. In honor of the occasion, I thought I would share 10 things you may not know about me so we can get to know each other better! ————————— 1. I am a born and bred Torontonian. 2. I’ve lived in 2 other cities, NYC and Montreal and have my eyes set on a new one…can you guess what it is? hint: best coast. 3. I truly and genuinely love kale. 4. I truly and genuinely love wine. 5. I think kale and wine are both part of a healthy diet. 6. I am the baby of 4 kids. My family of 6 is one rowdy bunch. 7. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Pancakes are the way to my soul. 8. I’m turning 26 in 25 days and entering into my “late 20s” is giving me an anxiety attack. 9. I LOVE superhero movies. 10. I live with my boyfriend/best friend “C”, who for absolutely no reason whatsoever’s name has never been revealed. YOUR TURN! Tell me something about you or tag your favorite healthy living IGer! Here are two of mine: @fitfoodiefinds and @lexiscleankitchen. GO! ———————— Photo by @brookeaho

Casually my third meal at @copperbranch in #Montreal in 24 hours…when you find THAT healthy spot in a new city, you may as well try the whole menu? Loved the smoothies, quinoa chilli and healthy Asian fusion bowl with tempeh. Totally #vegan with plenty of #glutenfree options. Well done Montreal! #copperbranch #eatclean #eattherainbow
