I was reflecting on the changing seasons, adding lovely cheerful deep orange chrysanthemums on my deck, planning out when to put up my Holiday decorations ( this year, I have to make sure that they are Lady Henrietta proof!) and realized that Cydney Mar Wellness was launched 6 years ago. Wow!!I have SO much gratitude, I know that I am healthier for it & so are you. I get to see your radiant faces online & in person whether in excited text messages, a Zoom call or in lovely emails.At Thanksgiving, I always love to use the BFCM time of year to...

I've been thinking a lot about what it means to love myself more these days ~We do have more time to reflect & this is no exception, at least for myself.As someone who is an over-achiever, in fact, I recall my father saying to my friend Mary " Why does she work so hard?

Today is December 17th, it's the 40th Anniversary of my Skating Accident. The day my precious skating was taken away from me. I was 18. I should have won Canadians that year. I was at the very top of my game. I was both incredibly artistic as well as technically brilliant. Skating was my favourite thing in the whole world, I lived it, I breathed it, I lived for skating. Six days a week, eight hours a day. Up at 4:30 am, squeezing in my schooling around a jam-packed skating, training, dance & choreography day. I loved it. It was the...

  I don't know how many times people have asked me what the secret is of my agelessness. I have been in the business of fashion for 36 years already, so when I pop by to research fabrics for my Fashion Collections or see someone in the trade, we ALL go back a long time." Cyd! How do you do it ?? YOU do not change, you stay as youthful and lovely looking as you did when I first met you ??
