For anyone unfamiliar with Hoizer, don’t stress. I will admit I pity you if you haven’t heard of this incredible musician, but no hard feelings or anything of the sort. Referencing his Wikipedia page, Mr. Andrew John Hozier-Byrne (hence his stage name) is a singer, songwriter, and musician of Irish descent who hails from Newcastle. … More Let’s hear it for Hozier
One could say I’m subliminally pushing creativity onto you, my beloved readers, in the form of pasta as of late. A few days ago, I shared a recipe for a dill pickle pasta salad, and I stated in that post that the pairing between pickles and pasta is not one I’ve ever seen before. As … More If you thought dill pickle pasta was odd, how about corn pasta?
Anyone who plays sports, to any extent, is arguably familiar with the saying ‘don’t get in your head,’ or something similar to it. Granted, we shouldn’t really aspire to be in our own heads with anything we do in life, meaning we should trust ourselves and our decisions and avoid anxiety in the process. In … More The power of mentality in sports
I consider myself rather fortunate in the sense I’ve never been someone who experiences anxiety toward the medical realm. That is not to suggest I enjoy seeing doctors for whatever reason, because I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite past time; rather, whenever I do have to see a doctor or undergo some sort of test, … More Read this if you suffer from medical anxiety
I am a sucker for anything dill pickle-flavoured. I’ve loved dill pickles for as long as I can recall, and when I spot something dill-pickled flavoured, you can bet that I grab it to sample it and hopefully enjoy it. One area of food I have yet to see a lot of dill pickle infusion … More Dill pickle … pasta salad?
By no means am I proud to admit that within the past year or so my teeth haven’t been looking their best. I was fortunate enough to have braces when I was a kid (before braces, you could have driven a semi through the gap between my front teeth), and while my teeth are still … More Stubborn teeth stains? Try this
Stretching is a concept most of us over the age of 5 are familiar with, but I imagine if I were to ask a random group of people if they stretch as often as they should the answer would be no. For those of us who do stretch on a regular or semi-regular basis, it … More Here’s why you really should stretch
The ideology of practicing what we preach is one that I try my best to apply to daily life. I feel as though it somewhat correlates with treating others the way you wish to be treated, which is another frame of mind I try to put into practice in life, and I figure the two … More Setting an example for success
It seems as though evenings in which Blaine and I are able to watch a movie together without him falling asleep are becoming more and more distant as of late. I don’t mean to sound as though I am blaming him – he works long, tiring days, so it makes sense he is pooped at … More Have you seen ‘Instant Family’?
When I was first made aware that Tim Horton’s would be offering pizza as an addition to their menu, I wasn’t entirely sure what to think. To be honest, I figured they probably wouldn’t be terrific, seeing as Tim’s is mainly recognized for their coffee, donuts and sandwiches, but I try not to judge and … More Tim Horton’s pizza: yay or nay?
It’s human nature to dwell on negative occurrences in life. I’m not exactly sure if there is science behind this happening, but most folks I know can absolutely relate to the idea that we tend to devote our thoughts and attention to negative thoughts as opposed to positive ones. Perhaps that means we, as humans, … More Dwelling: a damning demise
I wager if I were to ask people if they prefer brownies or blondies they would more than likely answer brownies, and rightly so; brownies are positively scrumptious, when prepared correctly, and there really is nothing like biting into a chewy yet soft chocolatey delight. On the other hand, however, blondies are also excellent. Quite … More Move over, brownies; it’s a blondie summer
Exercise and fitness have always been of importance to me. I credit this to the fact that both my mom and dad have always led an active lifestyle; my mom is in her 60s and exercises three to four times a week, and while my dad might not be as active as he once was, … More How do you work out?
There is a very strong probability that you, at some point in life, have consumed a Gatorade, and, quite honestly, understandably so. They taste good, they’re refreshing as fuck, and they’re a common option for athletes to swig from during, before, or following a game of whatever sport it is they play. I like Gatorade, … More Gatorade: not as healthy as you might think
When I sat down to write today’s post, I truly did not have the slightest clue as to what exactly I would write about. I eventually narrowed my topic down to discussing an animal of some sort, and upon asking my husband for some inspiration, he suggested writing about a jaguar. So, here we are. … More How much do you know about jaguars?
Goldfish crackers were a tremendous component of my childhood, and I would wager that a lot of people can relate to this. Goldfish crackers seem to be a major hit amongst children and adults for that matter – I still enjoy them today, although perhaps not as often as I did when I was a … More Goldfish … but vanilla cupcake flavour?
If you’re Hungarian, you have almost definitely sampled goulash at some point or another. If you’re Hungarian and you haven’t yet had the privilege of trying goulash, do your heritage a favour and go and get your hands on some. Goulash is not specific to Hungary, but there is a difference between traditional goulash and … More Let’s make Hungarian Goulash
While I do not yet have any children of my own, a number of my friends do, and I often hear about issues and obstacles affiliated with having children from them. I am not referring to issues with children themselves; rather, exterior problems that may present themselves if one were to have children, for example, … More Could opening a daycare be in your future?
Business is a concept that I am thoroughly familiar with, but perhaps not in the most traditional sense; I personally don’t possess a tremendous amount of first-hand business knowledge, but, I’ve been surrounded by business in my own family my entire life. My parents are farmers, and my sister owns and operates her own small … More Boosting business in the best way possible
This may sound a bit controversial, but I don’t intend for it to be; I’ve never been a tremendous fan of jokes. I love comedy, and laughing even more, but personally, I enjoy comedic skits, television shows, movies, etc. more than traditional jokes. For the most part, I find common jokes or whatever you might … More What are your best jokes?
Over the weekend, Blaine and I went to The Keg to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. We had a nice dinner and we both enjoy The Keg anytime we visit; we only go for special occasions and celebrations, and we figured it would be a great choice for our anniversary. We both had steak, and … More The ultimate satisfaction of reaping what you sow
I believe I mentioned how I recently wrapped up watching all three seasons of Bridgerton, meaning I had to find something new to watch. I contemplated rewatching one of my familiar favourites, like Vikings or The Last Kingdom, and while these shows will arguably be some of my top picks for the remainder of my … More Do you watch ‘The Boys’?
I like to consider having long hair as both a blessing and a curse, and I would wager anyone who possesses long hair would agree with me on this. Yes, long, flowy hair is beautiful, and having long hair usually means you’re afforded more opportunities when it comes to styling it. But, having long hair … More Here’s how to style long hair in the heat
I don’t visit the Keg too often – normally only for special occasions and celebrations, not so much for casual dining. Blaine and I recently went to The Keg to celebrate our wedding anniversary that recently passed, and like any other time I dine at The Keg, I thoroughly enjoyed their mashed potatoes. Weirdly, I’m … More Here’s how to make The Keg’s mashed potatoes at home
My title today is rather laughable, but I do implore you to offer me some pity credit considering the alliteration is not too shabby. If you’re currently asking yourself hasn’t she already written about pimple patches?, the answer to your question is yes, I have. Possibly more than once, to be fair. But, I do … More Pursuing perfection in pimple patches
I possess my Bachelor’s degree in English language and literature, so I suppose it goes without saying that I enjoy reading. Given the copious amounts of reading I was required to do in order to retain my degree, I really don’t think someone can pursue English if they don’t enjoy reading. Unless you’re a glutton … More What are your go-to reads?
I’m not entirely sure if there are specific criteria that dictate the length of time during which a relationship is considered long-term. Personally, I figure if the relationship has exceeded a few years it can be considered long-term, but, like I said, I am unsure if there is a certain length of time to exceed … More The beauty of maturity in long-term relationships
When it comes to sales, simplicity is arguably the best method to pursue. Much like the majority of things in life, there isn’t much sense in overcomplicating things, especially if the opportunity to simplify things is present. Unfortunately, as humans, we tend to overcomplicate even the simplest of things, regardless if that was our intention … More Here’s how to make sales easier for everyone
I believe in order to truly comprehend the ins and outs of customer service, one must first immerse oneself in an environment or occupation that involves dealing with the public. Until you’ve worked a job that requires communicating with customers and satisfying their needs and demands, it’s a bit difficult to entirely understand the best … More Customer service: a how-to guide
Following yesterday’s post, I figure it only appropriate to provide all of you with a tasty recipe to whip up some homemade Salsa Verde using, of course, the beloved tomatillo. If you’re a bit late to the blog game, feel free to read yesterday’s post discussing tomatillos, how they’re used, and their flavour profile. I … More Let’s make Salsa Verde
