It is a bittersweet realization to acknowledge that my rugby season for this year has concluded. We played our final game on August 10th in Stoney Creek, and while I knew beforehand that this would be our final match, I wasn’t entirely prepared for how it would end for me personally. To provide you with … More Concussion recovery: how much do you know? (part one)
My husband and I are both fans of true crime documentaries. I never used to be into them prior to meeting Blaine; he is the one who kind of spurred my interest in true crime shows and series, and without sounding like a wimp, I prefer to watch them with him as opposed to by … More ‘The Murder of Laci Peterson’: a chilling Netflix documentary
Suppose I were to sample a group of random people and inquire as to whether or not their favourite component of making cookies when they were children was sneaking chunks of raw cookie dough behind their mother’s back. In that case, I suspect the overwhelming majority would agree. Most folks I know love cookie dough, … More As it turns out you, can enjoy raw cookie dough with this product
I have never, at any point in my life, been someone who identifies as a ‘Lululemon girlie.’ If you haven’t heard that expression before, consider yourself lucky; essentially, the phrase refers to a woman who prefers to dress herself head to toe in Lululemon. I have no issue whatsoever with Lululemon girlies. The reason I’ve … More Need some runners? Consider Lululemon
The notion of releasing anger is one of great importance in terms of a person’s overall well-being and mental health. What is unfortunate, however, is that many people are completely unaware of not only the significance of releasing anger, but furthermore, how to actually go about releasing it. A simple Google search of anger-releasing techniques … More How do you release anger?
I recently finished watching Amazon Prime’s absolutely wild television series known as The Boys. I wasn’t entirely certain as to what to expect when I started watching it, but by the end of the fourth season (the fifth and final is being released next year), I can definitely say this show is not a superhero … More Have you seen ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’?
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I recently visited Costco with my sister. The trip was originally intended for her; we went to pick up some items she needed for an upcoming catering job. I was tagging along, and so I deemed it only appropriate to venture into the store with her to keep her … More Craving something sweet? Read this
These past few days have been a little bit on the dull side for me. I ended up getting two concussions in the span of two weeks which is not great for my melon, and as a result of this, I cannot do anything overly physical. Basically, I have to avoid getting my heart rate … More This is your sign to visit Costco ASAP
I believe I had my first skillet experience when I was about 10 years of age. My family and I were vacationing in the States; when my sister and I were younger, our family would make occasional trips to Buffalo for the weekend to do some shopping back when the dollar exchange wasn’t so heinous. … More Let’s make a Creamy Chicken and Corn Skillet
The notion of starting up a business is, in my own opinion, rather daunting. This may be because I don’t have a tremendous amount of first-hand experience in business management, but I honestly feel as though even if I did, the idea would still seem unsettling. My parents and my older sister are business owners, … More Yes, you really can start your own business
When it comes to concussions, I am saddened to admit I’m no stranger to them. I’ve had at least three to date, and while I’m sure I’ve had more, I can only say I’ve had three with confidence because those three occasions were the only times I actually saw a doctor to be assessed. Two … More Post Concussion Syndrome: how much do you know?
Living in the country is truly wonderful. It’s far quieter and more private than living in a city or residential area, and the views are unmatched. I wouldn’t trade living in a rural area for anything, and there are certainly more pros to it than there are cons. One negative to living in the country … More Uber Eats in rural areas: yes or no?
For anyone unfamiliar with the terminology pump-up song, please do not stress. In essence, a pump-up song is a tune that gets us going in one way or another; most athletes rely on music to light a fire under their ass prior to going out and competing, and songs that have the ability to ignite … More What are your go-to pump-up songs?
I would like to begin this post by offering my sincerest apologies to any of my readers who may be of Italian descent. It is highly probable you read the title of today’s post and experienced true anguish, and for this, I apologize; pizza is not something that is typically prepared in an air fryer, … More Air fryer … pizza?
Not to age myself, but going back quite a few years ago, I once worked as an intern for CAA in St. Catharine’s, Ontario. The internship in question was a mandatory component of the post-graduate public relations program I was enrolled in at the time at Niagara College. I absolutely loved my internship at CAA. … More Looking for a design program? Consider Canva
I would not consider decision-making one of my strengths. That is not to say I am hopeless when it comes to making a choice, because I’m not; rather, I am someone who likes to take some time to consider all possibilities in a particular situation before I come to a final conclusion, and I think … More Here’s how to make tough choices
Without providing you with much context, a couple of evenings ago, I found myself perusing the internet looking for some sort of dinner experience. Not catering in the traditional sense we all know and understand, but rather, something a little different to spice things up. Is there a particular reason why I was seeking out … More Looking for a creative twist on your typical dinner party? Read this
Whether you’re 10 or 80, mac and cheese is arguably a dish that appeals to all. I find it a tad annoying so many people associate macaroni and cheese with childhood; yes, this is a dish that typically appeals to children, but that does not mean it can’t also be enjoyed well into our adult … More Let’s make Queso Mac & Cheese
I am not certain if everyone can relate to my experience with this, but it seems to me as though the summer months, as wonderful as they are, are an almost guaranteed ticket to the Dry Hair Express. Granted, I do work outdoors, so my hair is exposed to the sun and its rays to … More Dry, brittle hair? Read this
Unsolved Mysteries is not, by any means, a new series. From what I could find online, the American series first debuted in 1897 and ran until 2010, and it was picked up again in 2020 with new episodes. The original creators of the show were John Cosgrove and Terry Dunn Meurer, and it originally starred … More Unsolved Mysteries: a must-watch
Hamburgers are one of my favourite foods to enjoy in the summertime, as they are for many people. I don’t know what it is about biting into a tasty, juicy burger on a warm summer evening, but that shit slaps, and while burgers are also delicious in the winter months, they’re always better on a … More How about some Smash Burger Tacos for dinner tonight?
Animals have been a central component of my family since I could walk. Our family dog, Ducky, was the first pet I ever had, and funnily enough, she and I were born in the same year. She was a part of our family until she was about 13, and it was at that same age … More The privilege of owning animals
Pain is arguably something we all inevitably experience at some point or another. It seems to be a component of life itself; unless you have some sort of genetic condition in which you’re immune to pain, we are all prone to meeting it. Obviously, being in pain is not something most of us desire, unless … More What’s your go-to pain relief?
Despite the tremendous progress mental health discussions and acceptance have made in the last few years, I can’t help but feel as though the term therapy still has a negative connotation attached to it. I would wager I’m not alone in thinking this, either. Perhaps our instinct encourages us to feel ashamed or embarrassed about … More Unsure if you should see a therapist? Read this
As much as I love dessert, I don’t know if I would be capable of consuming literal cake to start my day off. I used to eat a huge breakfast when I was younger; some days I would eat an entire box of cereal. Currently, I’m enjoying having a lighter breakfast as I don’t feel … More Cake for breakfast? Why not?
Yesterday’s post started our discussion of something referred to as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a commonly misunderstood and quite rare genetic disorder. Don’t stress if you’re unfamiliar with it, because I would wager most people are; I was, too, until I began educating myself on the matter because I may have it myself. There are two categorizations … More What the heck is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome? (Part Two)
When it comes to the medical realm, I figure it is more than safe to say that most terms and diagnoses sound completely foreign to anyone who isn’t involved in the realm themselves. There are some words I’ve heard over the years that sound anything but English, and I’m sure there are just as many … More What the heck is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?
I try my best to cook with as much creativity as I can muster for myself and my husband, but more often than not, I find myself unintentionally getting into a bit of a cooking rut. Blaine, my husband, is a picky eater which doesn’t help the cause by any means, but additionally, we both … More This could be your new go-to dinner
I’ve found myself feeling rather overwhelmed with a variety of different things going on in my life at present. I won’t go into details, but the situation is far from ideal, and it could be one that continues for an extended period of time. A couple of days ago, I quite literally completely broke down … More Feeling emotional? Let it out
The concept of success is a bit of a bittersweet one. Granted, when we hear the word success, we automatically think of positivity, or an accomplishment, and these traits typically are what success embodies.
