Paperwhites for Christmas Paperwhites are an easy-togrow, beautiful flower that will add fresh ambiance to any room. Plant them in early November and enjoy their fragrant display over the holiday season! Text by CHRISTA WILSON Photos by Lisa Tutman-Oglesby of celebrate-creativity.com
Steps
1. Find a nice accent pot to place your bulbs in that allows for a 3” root base. 2. Choose from pebbles or glass marbles and make sure you have just enough to support the plants. 3. Place a layer of pebbles at the bottom of your pot up to about 2 inches. Place the bulbs wide side (root base) down and put a few stones/marbles between them. Leave the tops of the bulbs exposed. 4. Add water until the level reaches just below the base of the bulbs. 5. Find a cool place away from direct sunlight. Check frequently and water about once a week to maintain correct water level.
Tips
• For the kids, try using small lego pieces in a glass jar. • Make sure to plant your bulbs close together, but not quite touching. This will ensure the display is full and vibrant. • To keep the bulbs from rotting, be sure to not fully submerge them in water. • Flowers will bloom in 4-6 weeks. • Once blooms die, compost or discard bulbs. • Use bamboo stakes and twine to hold them upright if they become droopy.

Winter nights curled up on the couch in front of a cozy fire with a cup of warm cocoa, is the quintessential way to spend the holiday season. The flames shouldn’t be the only thing that is mesmerizing. Here are three unique ideas to bring holiday style to your mantel. Continued on page 22 20 20

These are some of the most often asked questions about mortgages and renewals WITH MORTGAGE EXPERT
Q &A
TONIA JACOBSEN MARSHALL
Q
Q Is this a good time to refinance?
A
With interest rates continuing to hover at historical lows, refinancing your existing mortgage and switching to a lower rate may save you a lot of money – possibly thousands of dollars per year. Imagine what you could do with the savings.
Why would I use a broker rather than my bank? When you work with your bank, you only get one choice - the one they offer you. There are plenty of other lenders out there that may be able to offer you a product or rate better suited to your unique needs. As a licensed mortgage professional, I have access to banks, credit unions and trust companies. Most importantly, I work for you and in today's ever changing mortgage landscape you need an expert in your corner. C
M
Y
Q
MC
How are you able to get me better discounts?
YM
A
YC
Based on the high annual volume I fund, lenders offer me better rate discounts that I can then pass on to my clientele.
YMC
A
Q What’s the best rate I can get?
A
Your credit score plays a big part in the rate you qualify for as well as other factors such as down payment amount and closing date. Rate is definitely not the most important aspect of a mortgage, however, as many rock-bottom rates often come with restrictions to the mortgage. It isn't one size fits all and I can help guide you through the various options.

t s i w T A a m o T on The classic comfort food pairing of tomato soup and grilled cheese gets a modern update. Photo & text by Linda Horn
When there's a chill in the air, nothing beats the comforting simplicity of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Next time you're tempted to reach for that ubiquitous red can, leave it in the cupboard and make your own tomato soup
instead. It's super easy, and tastes a thousand times better! This version is topped with a slice of rustic bread, heaped with salty Gruyère cheese, and broiled until hot and bubbly.

ato Roasted Tomato Soup with Broiled Gruyère Ingredients
Method
1.25 kg plum tomatoes (about 20), sliced in half lengthwise
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place tomatoes, cut side up, on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap garlic cloves in aluminum foil and place on the same baking sheet. Roast until tomatoes are soft and slightly browned, about 1 hour.
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped 3 garlic cloves Sea salt & fresh pepper 1L chicken stock 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese 4 slices of rustic bread
Remove garlic from foil. In a food processor, process the tomatoes and any remaining liquid, with the garlic for just a few pulses so it's still a little chunky. In a large pot, combine thyme leaves, red pepper flakes, chicken stock and processed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 30 minutes. To serve, fill small bowls with soup. Place a slice of bread on top of each bowl, and mound grated cheese on top. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbling. Serves 4.
a sweet pairing Pair this zesty soup with a crisp apple cider. Honey Cider, from Fraser Valley Cider Company, has a fresh apple vibe with hints of wildflower honey from the Cidery's own bees. stimulimag.ca | winter 2016

Without Sabotaging Your Health and Wellness Goals
The holidays are the perfect time to gather together and celebrate friendships, family and traditions. After all, as the song says, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the year!” For my family, the holidays always kick off by celebrating US Thanksgiving at the end of November. So, that makes the holiday season approximately 5 - 6 weeks in length, which means several weeks of overindulgence. This can quickly snowball into feeling down about setbacks in my wellness choices.

It is important to take care of what we are fuelling our bodies with as well as filling our time with over the holidays. Here are some tips to help you navigate the holiday season without destroying all of your health and wellness efforts:

CY
1
Don’t Skip Meals. A common mistake is to skip meals to save up calories for later in the day. It’s important to eat a balanced diet throughout the day to avoid over-eating later. Choose foods with higher protein and lower carbs during the day.
2
Fill Your Plate Once. Grab a plate and serve yourself a bit of all the foods you’d like to enjoy. Constantly nibbling while socializing around the table makes it difficult to keep track of portion sizes and the caloric intake can sneak up on you.
Eat like you love yourself. Move like you love yourself. Speak like you love yourself. Act like you love yourself. - Tara Stiles

8
Watch Those Drinks! Be aware of drink mixers—most are loaded with sugar. A glass of tonic water has approximately 125 calories whereas soda water has zero. Add some lime or a “spritz” of something to cut back on calories.
Exercise. It’s easy to let a full-on workout slip through the holiday schedule. Think about head outdoors and getting some fresh air. Walk for 30-40 minutes, play at the park or go ice skating with your kids. Head up to the mountains for a day of skiing or snowshoeing. 28

CY

CMY
Get Enough Sleep. CMY Research shows that K K you are more likely to succeed at your tasks (and enjoy greater well-being) if you get the proper amount of shut-eye.
6
Shut Down Negative Self-Talk. Please don’t say to yourself, “I shouldn’t eat this stuffing or that dessert”. The foods we eat, in and of themselves, are not the enemy. Our lack of self-control, and tendency to over-indulge is the culprit. Empower yourself by deciding how much of what foods you will eat.
Allow Yourself to Say “No”. There are a plethora of wonderful events that we could attend over the holiday season and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Give yourself permission to say “No”. Take some time to reflect on why you do the things you do.
Ask For Help. Don’t try to do and be everything for everyone. Ask for help if you need it. Sometimes the greatest moments are a result of doing tasks together.
Remember, be kind to yourself and enjoy a happy, healthy holiday season! WINTER 2016 | stimuli magazine
