I’ve never really been someone who engages with meditation and/or mantras, but that does not mean that I don’t respect and have an interest in both. Despite what society has conditioned us to believe, just because you don’t particularly like or find allure in something someone else does not automatically equate to writing the thing … More What’s your mantra?
I could not tell you how long I have been blogging on a daily basis. I started a blog in what I think was my second year of university; the site I was using was not terribly user-friendly, so after using it for a few months, I scrapped that platform and then made the move … More Looking to improve your writing skills?

While I positively and undoubtedly identify as a creature of habit, and not someone who enjoys spontaneity for the most part, I will say that I tend to get a little bored with my surroundings after an extended period of time. When I was a kid, I used to beg my mom to let me … More Is your home feeling a litte drab? Try this simple trick
While it isn’t quite yet officially Fall, allow my excitement to pique in advance because it is my favourite season. I have always loved Autumn for different reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is the desserts that are often associated with this time of year. As a side note, I’m not entirely sure who … More How about some Baked Apple Cider French Toast for brunch this weekend?
I think we can all agree that despite our best efforts in the kitchen, meals can become a bit redundant and boring over time. We often slip into a pattern of preparing the same dishes over and over, and while there is nothing wrong with repetition, sometimes we’re seeking out something new and exciting to … More Looking for some dinner inspiration? Look no further
I have not hidden my love for the television series Brooklyn Nine-Nine from anyone here who reads my blog somewhat regularly, and for good reason; it is arguably one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I have lost count of how many times I have rewatched it. I consider it my comfort … More If you’re a Brooklyn Nine-Nine fan, read this
I could honestly encapsulate the entirety of this post by simply trying ‘yes’ and answering the question posed in today’s title in doing so. But, I’m not a cheat, nor do I like half-assing anything I do in life, so I won’t disappoint you with such minimal feedback towards such an incredible book. I wrote … More Throne of Glass: Read or rid?
Today marks day three of the plague, and if this shit doesn’t sort itself out sooner than later, I think I might have to see a doctor. I keep telling myself tomorrow will be better, only to be severely disappointed, and I don’t know how much more of this I can handle before I literally … More Here’s what to eat if you have Norovirus
I’ll begin this post by acknowledging the fact that I am not a doctor, nor am I a medical professional. Rather, I am an individual currently plagued with something known as Norovirus, and I would not wish this shit on my worst enemy. Granted, my symptoms are amplified thanks to having Lyme disease, but even … More Here’s what to do if you have Norovirus
I noticed I wasn’t feeling too wonderful this past Monday evening. Having Lyme disease, sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between a Lyme flare-up and an actual illness, and because I wasn’t entirely sure of what was going on, I figured it would be best to wait until the following morning to proceed with any … More Dealing with the Norovirus?

I will begin this post by acknowledging the fact that at some point or another, I have already written a post about my own at-home workout routine. As of late, however, I have had a few people asking me to share it with them, and for this reason, combined with the fact I have made … More Looking for an at-home workout routine? Look no further
I first noticed that both of my shoulders had lumps in them a little while ago and didn’t think much of it. My right shoulder, which I refer to as my hitting shoulder in rugby, is worse in terms of the size and number of these hard lumps, and after playing another season this year, … More Bumpy, lumpy shoulders?

I have always had what would likely be considered relatively thin eyebrows. I probably always will, and I think this may be a result of serious over-plucking when I was a teenager. I am so, so sorry for what I did to you, eyebrows. Despite my foolishness in my youth, I’ve always liked the look … More Looking to spruce up your eyebrows? Read this
I haven’t exactly kept my love for Sarah J. Maas’ “A Court of Thorns and Roses” (ACOTAR) book series a secret here on my blog, and for good reason; aside from the “Harry Potter” series, they’re the best fantasy books I have ever read, and Maas, like J.K. Rowling, possesses the rare but insanely appreciated … More “Assassin’s Blade”: read or rid?
I feel as though I should apologize for the abundance of food content as of late here on my blog, if anyone is finding it irritating. I try to write about things that are relevant to my own life, and lately, eating out has been occurring more often than not. It isn’t something I’m particularly … More What’s your go-to Bar Burrito order?
I recently had a conversation with a good friend that inspired today’s post. I won’t go into detail regarding what our conversation was about to protect the privacy of my friend, but in essence, we were chatting about how jarring the truth can be when it is something we have forcibly denied for an extended … More The difficulty in accepting hard truths
When I saw the title of the recipe I will be sharing with all of you today, my mouth quite literally began watering a little bit. I can’t say that this is something that happens often, because it isn’t, so when this occurred, I knew I had to share this recipe with all of you … More How about some Cinnamon Crunch Swirled Banana Bread?
Going out to eat is something I very much enjoy, yet don’t do as often as I might like. I think most people would agree with me on this; not having to cook your own food is always a pleasure, and even more so when said food is delicious. I went for dinner a few … More Have you been to Sociable Kitchen and Tavern?
This past Saturday, my family and I had a lovely dinner at Speekeezie’s restaurant in Brantford, Ontario. This place has held a special place in all of our hearts for many years now, and we tend to go there to celebrate occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. On this particular occasion, we were celebrating my mom’s … More Have you been to Speekeezie’s in Brantford?
I normally designate Sundays as my cleaning day each week. This past Sunday, I ended up doing more cleaning than I initially planned; I spent the majority of the afternoon cleaning various things in the house, and by the time I was finished and saw that the time was already 5:30pm, I quickly realized I … More Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen: yay or nay?
For anyone unaware, allow me to inform you that the Women’s Rugby World Cup is currently underway in England. It’s one of my dreams to watch a professional rugby game at some point or another in my life, and watching a World Cup game would be something not easily forgotten. There is no protective equipment … More Have you heard about these innovative mouthguards?
I positively love dumplings. My passion for them may stem from my Eastern European heritage, and I am more than grateful for it; Hungarian food is some of the most comforting food in existence, in my humble opinion, and you can bet your bottom that many of the dishes include dumplings. I mean, could more … More Let’s make Dumpling Soup
I’m currently in the process of getting diagnosed with ADHD. I’ve suspected for a while now that I have it, but the intensity of my suspicions skyrocketed in the months after I had a severe concussion at the end of last summer. There is a correlation between head trauma and the onset of mental illness, … More ADHD: so much more than being fidgety
Now that our official rugby season has come to an end, I thought it might be worthwhile to go for a massage. I say official season because while we don’t have any more games until next year, we do have a winter touch league that some of us participate in. In touch, there isn’t direct … More Feeling sore? Consider visiting Massage Addict
I have been feral for pasta from a very young age. To my knowledge, most kids are fans of pasta, but my love for it did not at all cease, and I’m still bonkers for it in my adulthood. It got to a point in our home when I was a child that my mom … More Let’s make homemade pasta
I am choosing to be vulnerable in this post, and I hope that in doing so I am not judged too harshly, because I am going to admit something that is now rather embarrassing for me to acknowledge as a seasoned pot smoker. While it is difficult for me to admit this, I think I … More Know your green
The chosen book for our next book club meeting is “The Girls I’ve Been” by Tess Sharpe. This was not my chosen book, as we all get to select one throughout our member rotation, if that makes sense, so I was not sure of what to expect going into it. This book is considered YA … More “The Girls I’ve Been”: Read or rid?
As stated in yesterday’s post, today’s will be a continuation of our discussion about self-defence, and how crucial it is to understand how to defend yourself. In this day and age, assault and harassment occur more often than not, especially if you’re a woman; I’ve lost count of how many harrowing incidents I have had … More Know how to protect yourself (part two)
A few days ago now, my family and I were chatting about the reality of being a woman in this sick and twisted world and how we must always stay vigilant when it comes to our safety. I’ve had more close calls than I can count, some of which honestly shook me to my core, … More Know how to protect yourself (part one)
If you were to ask any random individual the last time they took pause and slowed down to recognize and appreciate their surroundings, I would wager they would not be able to tell you. And, I think this lack of awareness applies to most of us seeing as it is so, so simple to get … More The significance of slowing down
