I truly pity people with allergies and sensitivities to fragrance. I know a few people who are seriously affected by perfumes and body sprays; because I am someone who enjoys drowning myself in all things pleasant-smelling, I genuinely feel sorry for folks who aren’t able to dabble in the fragrance realm. They’re arguably better off … More Looking for a lighter signature scent? Look no further
I’ve been using Spotify for a few years now, and I’m quite liking it for the most part. I can’t say I appreciate how their prices continue to increase annually, but that’s everything, it seems, and I’m also not a huge fan of their limited audiobook access (you get so many hours of listening each … More Have you tried Spotify’s AI DJ?
I have recently come to the harrowing realization that I am not someone who eats ample amounts of scones. It isn’t at all because I don’t like them, because I certainly do and always have; rather, I just don’t seem to consume them terribly often, so from here forward, I think I will try to … More Let’s make some Apple, Cheddar and Sage Scones
My husband and I have had a variety of robotic vacuums since moving into our home three years ago. Initially, we had a Roomba, and it worked fine. At least, it did prior to attempting to suck up a solid heap of dog shit, and while my husband dutifully tried to clean every last morsel … More Are Eufy robot vacuums worth the money?
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah was recommended to me by several gals in our book club. Both of these ladies told me this book is the best they have ever read, meaning my expectations were quite high prior to starting it, and I didn’t know much aside from the fact that the story takes place … More ‘The Nightingale’: the book that will change your life
Creatine is not new, but as of late, I’ve been seeing more and more material about it in my social media feeds. I don’t know much about it myself, but everything I have read about it seems to indicate it is quite beneficial to those who use it, so I wanted to educate myself more … More Curious about creatine?

Now that I am, thankfully, fully back into the swing of reading on a daily basis, I’ve come to realize the struggle of trying to read, using minimal light, in an attempt to refrain from waking my husband up as he sleeps beside me. The man can sleep through just about anything, to be fair, … More Looking for a reading light? Look no further
My parents have abided by a consistent array of food selections for lunch for as long as I can remember. They always have a bowl of soup of some sort, followed by a sandwich of some variety, and conclude with a little sweet treat. My dad has always enjoyed desserts with a lot of fruit … More Let’s make some apple turnovers
I will be transparent and admit that when I posted part one of this haunted locations series, I expected it to end after part two. But, I don’t like to jam a shit load of content into posts and cause readers to feel overwhelmed, so I figured it made more sense to break the material … More Seeking out a spook? Consider visiting these locations (part three)
I do hope you followed up after the conclusion of yesterday’s post detailing some of the most haunted locations in the world; at the end of yesterday’s post, I stated that if you stayed tuned, today you would be rewarded with a part-two post. So, if you’re here, thank you, and great work. As thrilling … More Seeking out a spook? Consider visiting these locations (part two)
When it comes to spooky, the more the merrier, in my opinion, with the exception of demonic entities because I do not fuck with that shit. I’ve been fascinated by the supernatural realm for some time now, and while it scares the living shit out of me at times, I also respect it and understand … More Seeking out a spook? Consider visiting these locations (part one)
I think I’ve mentioned this at least once before in a post, but occasionally, I enjoy perusing through BuzzFeed articles listing new and popular products that are usually available for purchase via Amazon. A lot of the time, the products in question are ones I personally wouldn’t use, but every now and then, one appears … More Get ahead of dry skin with this killer cream
I’ve never been someone who drinks a lot of pop, despite trying my best to force the stuff down my throat. I’ve always had an issue with carbonated beverages of any sort, meaning whenever I drink them, I’m left dealing with the most astronomical burps known to mankind. It isn’t cute, and additionally, it gives … More Here’s how to make your own Sprite
The selected book for the book club I am involved with is one I am sorry to say I’m not particularly loving. From Blood and Ash is the first book in this series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, and honestly, I’m having a hell of a time getting through it. Ironically, I am the one who … More ‘From Blood and Ash’: Read or rid?
Sayings, or expressions, if you will, have always been a thing of interest for me, personally. I wouldn’t say I necessarily use a lot of them myself, but every now and then I’ll throw out one of my personal favourites and have everyone’s attention. It’s brilliant. Idioms can be great, but they can also be … More What are some of your favourite sayings?
In case you’re unaware and don’t follow the game of rugby too closely, the Women’s Rugby World Cup is currently underway, and it has been exciting to say the least. The best of the best are participating in this tournament, playing the best game in sports, in my own humble opinion. This past Friday, the … More Let’s hear it for Canadian women’s rugby
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?

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.

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?
