Here's
an idea on what to do with all of your Instagram pictures of Saint
John. Simply add #lovesaintjohn, and you'll be part of the "Instagram
Photo Festival" being launched by Hemmings House Pictures.
Director of photography Mark Hemmings, tells us, he thought it would be a great way to showcase
photos of Saint John that are taken on cell phones or tablets, ending up on Instagram.
"The
grand hope is that people will fall in love with Saint John. I think
the best way to do that is to photograph your own city and to appreciate
how interesting it is," he says.

House Pictures will host a mini-festival in March, showcasing the
images taken around the Port City. Hemmings hopes people will submit
photos that are unique to Saint John, no matter how small.
A local pharmacy saying it's seen a spike in the number of people coming in for flu shots this year.
This
after more cases of H1N1 in Alberta, and reports of four flu related
deaths in New Brunswick. Ryan Kennedy is a pharmacist and owner of the
Millidgeville Pharmasave.
He says he's concerned about running low on vaccinations, but is hoping to get more stock next week.
He
tells us about the amount of people coming in for flu shots
this season. "Multiple people, double digits every day," he says, which
is certainly not in line with what we were doing last year."
Adding, "We've
been able to maintain a bit of a supply that was running low. Some of
the other dispensaries in the market have run out, so they've been
forwarding people here."
He
says this has meant longer wait times than usual, but people have been
understanding. The New Brunswick Pharmacy Association recently telling us the number of people getting flu shots has doubled this year.
It can be tough to stay motivated throughout the year to achieve the healthy eating goals you made at the very beginning.
Nutritionist
Leslie Fancey has some tips for keeping on top of your New Year's
Resolutions. She says it's important to be realistic, which will help
you stay motivated.
"Keeping
up with a sensible weight loss of maybe about a pound to a pound and a
half a week. That's a much more healthy way to lose weight than setting
expectations high and thinking 'oh, I'm going to lose three to five
every week.' It's just not sustainable, it's not even desirable to lose
that much," she says.
She adds, stocking your cupboards with whole natural foods, can help you resist temptation, along with making a list before grocery shopping to help you stay on track.
She also
suggests having an accountability buddy such as "a friend or a spouse,
someone who you can show your food diary to, or share issues or
challenges that you're facing."
