As much as I would like to think I am a crafty person, I’m really not. Sure, I’ve dabbled in some crafts and creations over the years, and while some have turned out relatively decent, the majority have not.

It is a situation we arguably, unfortunately, are all familiar with; there is a certain individual with who we share a workplace that makes the work itself rather unpleasant, simply because of their presence. I, too, have familiarity with this situation, and in different jobs over the years. I can’t say I have a guaranteed … More Dealing with difficult people in the workplace
I’ve mentioned before in some of my blog posts that finding and further sustaining friendships in early adult years can be tricky.

This past weekend, Blaine and I ventured out to Moore’s in Brantford to pick out what he and his groomsmen will be sporting for our wedding.

As of late, I’ve come to a startling realization regarding certain things in my life. To be more specific, I’ve been fortunate enough to acknowledge the happiness that can present itself when we let go of or remove negative influences and forces in our lives, and I wanted to discuss this epiphany with all of … More Finding happiness in letting go
I feel like taco salad is something that one either loves or hates. And, unfortunately, I would wager that there are more of us who dislike the stuff compared to those of us who actually enjoy it, arguably because it is difficult to come across a taco salad that tastes how it should; fresh, savoury, … More Here’s how to make homemade taco salad
I recently started watching the series Vikings once again.

Emotions are, in my opinion, a blessing and a curse at times. They undeniably serve a purpose, and a rather important one; they’re a means to express and communicate how we are feeling about something to someone, and without them, life itself would arguably be a pretty confusing thing to navigate. Despite the significance of … More Here’s why you shouldn’t resist sharing how you’re feeling about something

The 11th day of … More We remember
Believe it or not, meatloaf is something I have learned to appreciate within the past few years of my life.

I think part of the issue was that I hadn’t sampled any … More Read this to learn how to make the best homemade meatloaf
Anyone who knows me relatively well is fully aware of the fact that I consume a lot of bananas on a daily basis. I often get asked if the reason I eat as many as I do is a result of my love for the taste of them, but I can assure you it isn’t. … More Here’s why you should eat more bananas
This past weekend, my family and I ordered takeout from Domino’s Pizza.

I was … More Is Domino’s Pizza worth the hype?

If you ask me, one simply cannot use too much garlic. It just isn’t possible.

Garlic is used in a multitude of Hungarian dishes and recipes, but also in a lot of … More Read this to find out just how good garlic is for you

I don’t exactly know why, … More Check out these iconic ‘dad’ jokes

If I’m being blatantly honest, I’m getting rather irritated with the lack of discussion and media coverage pertaining to the victims of residential schools here in Canada.

A few days ago, my mom, dad and I had a solid chat regarding how wasteful our society is. Hence the emphasis placed on consumerism; without it, we wouldn’t be nearly as wasteful as we are, in my opinion. Consider cell phones, as a prime example. Depending which company you’re with in terms of a … More This is why we need to stop being so consumeristic
