I think it’s safe to say that the years 2020 and 2021 have brought with them a variety of new and unfamiliar terms. Some are easier to figure out than others, but one in particular that a lot of people struggle to understand, myself included up until recently, is gaslighting. When I first heard this … More Don’t know what gaslighting is? Read this
Death, in life, is inevitable.

When we’re young, we don’t exactly worry about what we are consuming in terms of calories and fat. And for a good reason; kids should not be thinking about things that we spend most of our adult years contemplating considering they’re busy playing among other important kid things. Once we’re adults, however, our diet becomes … More PSA: your metabolism does not, in fact, slow down once you’re middle-aged
While I wouldn’t go so far as to say it is common knowledge, the concept of exercise being a means to alleviate the severity of depression isn’t exactly news.

Having a lush, green lawn is something a lot of us strive for.

When it comes to waffles, I am inclined to say the Belgians do it best.

Mosquitos have to be one of my least favourite insects in existence. I realize they serve a purpose, but they’re ultimately little shits that pride themselves in going around pricking people and feasting on their blood, only to leave them in ultimate discomfort thanks to insane itching. That’s just my own subtle opinion on the … More Read this to lean what actually repels mosquitos
Mug cakes, for anyone unfamiliar with them, are essentially exactly what the name suggests; a cake in a mug.

Rosemary is not, by any means, my preferred herb. I don’t know what it is about this stuff, but I am not a fan of the taste or smell.

Cinnamon buns are one of those things people either adore or despise.

Typically, terms such as poisonous and life-saving don’t coincide with one another. If anything, these terms are anatomical, and normally speaking, we wouldn’t think of poison as being something that could save a life rather than take one. That being said, an article by Good News Network caught my eye as it discusses a specific … More Could this poisonous caterpillar save a life?

Depression is something that, unfortunately, far too many of us are all too familiar with, including myself.
