By no means am I going to give you the false impression that I’m well-versed in the world of meditation and already know everything about tapping, because I certainly don’t. I know of tapping, and have a basic premise of what it does, but for the sake of composing an entire post on the matter, … More Tapping: a how-to guide
Fish tacos, when prepared correctly, absolutely slap, in my own humble opinion. My use of the word slap, in this case, is to indicate excellence. It’s a term the young kids are using these days. I fucking adore fish tacos, and I order them just about any time I spot them on a menu in … More Here’s how to make homemade fish tacos
Yesterday’s post introduced all of you to a curious creature known as the fossa. That is, unless, you’re far more cultured than me and had already heard of them, in which case, good for you, David Suzuki. I’m not bitter. Anyways, today’s post will continue our discussion of the fossa in hopes of educating anyone … More What the heck is a fossa? (part two)
If anyone would like to take this opportunity to applaud me for composing such a delightfully witty and whimsical title for today’s post, now is your chance. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let’s get into it, shall we? I’m not a huge cake eater. I do like cake, don’t get … More Craving cake but no time to bake? Read this
Allow me to begin this post by admitting that while I am an avid fan of the television series The Witcher, I have not yet had the privilege of reading the books the show is based on, written by Andrzej Sapkowski. Given my English background, I can’t help but feel like a bit of a … More What is your take on the third season of ‘The Witcher’?
It truly blows my mind how many people I encounter that have lived in either the city of Brantford itself or Brant County for years that are not familiar with the Brantford International Villages festival. It’s been around for a while (since 1974, to be exact), and the Villages are something that is rather near … More If you haven’t heard of the Brantford International Villages festival, read this
I like Oreos, but I wouldn’t say I love them. They’re tasty, don’t get me wrong, but when it comes to original Oreo cookies, personally, I’d rather nibble on a homemade chocolate chip cookie. Blaine likes Oreos, so I purchase mini snack-sized ones for him to take in his lunch when he is at work. … More Oreo showdown: which flavour is best?
I composed a post a short while ago discussing niacinamide and some reasons as to why one might use it, either topically and/or via supplement. I wasn’t overly savvy with all things niacinamide prior to writing a post about it, but after I learned a little more about it and some of the benefits it … More Read this before you use Niacinamide
Blaine and I wrapped up the end of an era last week; we finally finished watching AMC’s The Walking Dead, and from start to finish, all 11 seasons, it took us about a year to get through the entire thing. Considering this has been our go-to show since we moved into our home, its completion … More Have you seen ‘Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant’?
If you’re Hungarian, you probably read the title of today’s post, chuckled to yourself, and clicked to continue reading. To be honest, if you’re Hungarian and you are not familiar with Unicum, you probably should be. If you’re not Hungarian and haven’t heard of Unicum, I’m not surprised, but I am more than happy to … More Are you familiar with Unicum?
I’ve made mention here on my blog of my tutoring business, and for the topic of today’s post, allow me to make mention of it once more. I started tutoring about a year-and-a-half ago, roughly, and I’ve been enjoying it, for the most part. Like literally anything, there are pros and cons to tutoring. I … More Considering being a tutor? Read this
To avoid losing anyone’s attention span, I will assert that today’s post will be the last discussion regarding the Colosseum for a while. Could I write more about this breathtaking historical site? Absolutely. But I don’t want to beat a dead horse, so to speak. Yesterday’s post detailed what the Colosseum is composed of, and … More Did you know this about the Colosseum?
Yesterday’s post about a rather unfortunate incident that recently occurred at the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, prompted me to consider how I haven’t actually dedicated a post to the history of this incredible monument. Sure, most people have heard of it, and many, like myself, have had the privilege of visiting the Colosseum, but I … More You know of the Colosseum, but do you know of its history?
I swear, just about every year I hear about an incident involving tourists defacing a historical monument. I would wager I’m not the only one who seems to hear about these things on an annual basis; it probably happens a hell of a lot more than I hear about. My sister recently informed me that … More Can we stop defacing historic monuments?
I’ve been working alongside my Dad on our family farm for a few years now. I’ve always worked with him/for him, but in the last five years or so, I’ve become more involved with the operation, and in doing so, I’ve found myself spending a lot more time with him. I love my dad something … More Dislike versus misunderstanding: a fickle concept
Steamed dumplings have held their place close to my heart for quite a few years now. If I remember correctly, I believe the first time I ever sampled steamed dumplings was at The Mandarin, a well-known buffet-style restaurant here in Ontario, Canada. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t tried steamed dumplings sooner considering their phenomenal, dynamic … More If you’re a fan of dumplings, read this
I won’t gatekeep the three remaining love languages from you today, as I said in yesterday’s post that today’s would list the other three languages of love. I will, however, make you wait a little longer, or, rather, I ask that you don’t skip ahead just to get to the goods. Prior to learning about … More Do you know your love language? (part two)
If you’re familiar with the five different types of love languages, you’re probably familiar with Dr. Gary Chapman, the man responsible for formulating the love languages in his well-known book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts. I first heard about Mr. Chapman’s work through a friend of mine who recommended his … More What’s your love language?
When it comes to bruschetta, I think most people are a fan. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they don’t like bruschetta, and the only logical explanation I can come up with for not being a bruschetta advocate is a dislike of tomatoes, perhaps. Regardless, hear me when … More Have a hankering for bruschetta chicken? Look no further
Yesterday’s post discussed the concept of detoxing the body. If you missed it, I basically provided some information, referencing a source, regarding detoxing and an overview of some of the reasons why one might be inclined to detox, and furthermore, some of the benefits of and reasons for doing so. Today’s post will again address … More Read this to learn how to detox your body
As of late, I’ve been seeing quite a few posts in my social feed regarding self-awareness and what all it encompasses. To be honest, I’m probably recognizing an uptick in self-awareness in my social feeds because I engaged with one post and now all of the algorithms are pushing it, and that’s the joy of … More How self-aware are you?
If you took one look at me, you probably wouldn’t believe me when I tell you I tan relatively easily in the summer months here in Ontario. I say you arguably wouldn’t believe me because I’m fair; I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and normally speaking, we fair folk aren’t super friendly with the … More Want a tan without the sun?

This past weekend, Blaine and I were finally able to get together with great friends of ours. We have made several attempts to formulate a plan and therefore execute said plan to hang out prior to this past weekend, but for a variety of different reasons, we had to keep postponing. Over dinner, we were … More The reality of navigating adult friendshipsÂ
If you think the topic of today’s post is rather arbitrary, I have two things to say to you; the first is that randomness regarding topic selection is an integral component of my blog, and secondly, I do have some context to provide as to what prompted me to pick how to make butter for … More Here’s how to make homemade butter
If you’re a fan of and watch The Last Kingdom on Netflix and haven’t yet watched the conclusion to the series, the film titled Seven Kinds Must Die, I would recommend averting your eyes from this webpage to prevent ruining the movie and the conclusion to such an epic tale. I don’t wish to spoil … More Seven Kings Must Die: a disappointing end to an epic story
For anyone who understands the musical reference I’m making with the title of this post, I sincerely apologize for reminding you of that incredibly irritating yet simultaneously catchy tune. With the subject matter of today’s post, however, I deemed the title all too fitting, and I do ask for your forgiveness. Blaine told me he … More What does the fox say?
Remember when FitBit came out and it was all the rage? I know, it seems like eons ago. Regardless of the length of time that has passed since FitBits were still considered relevant, they very much were, at one point, and everyone and their mother had one, myself included. I enjoyed using it, and while … More Move over, Apple Watch
Anyone who knows me personally is probably aware of the rather unfortunate experience I encountered when I had both of my helixes pierced. I was actually getting a tattoo touched up when I caught wind the piercing artist had no further clients for the day, and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to … More How hellish is your helix?
I wrote a post a while ago detailing all things infrared sauna, and I thought we would revisit the topic. I’ve been using an infrared sauna consistently for about a year-and-a-half now, and while the entirety of the period of time I’ve made use of one is probably closer to two years, the initial phase … More How often should you use an infrared sauna?
As much as I try my hardest to live a life that doesn’t allow the opinions of others to bother me, I’m human, and therefore fuck up every now and then. Not just with living this mentality, but with just about everything. Ain’t nobody perfect, despite how many people try to give this impression. I … More Disassociating with the opinions of others
