I have a somewhat love-hate relationship with lip balm. I like it just as much as the next person, especially considering what it aims to do for dry, chapped lips; my issue with lip balm is that so many of them that I have tried over the years have caused significant acne breakouts around my … More Dry, chapped lips?

Unless you’re exceptionally lucky or have managed to unlock the ultimate human body cheat code, deodorant is arguably a product most of us rely upon to control body odour emitted from our armpits. Some of us have more of an issue with body odour than others, and that’s absolutely ok; what isn’t necessarily okay, however, … More NATIVE deodorant: yay or nay?
My brother and sister-in-law were kind enough to include some gifts for our dog, Lenny, this past Christmas, when we exchanged gifts with one another. Blaine and I certainly weren’t expecting anything for Lenny, but the thoughtfulness of the gesture is sincerely appreciated, and one of the items for Lenny was a brand of dog … More Looking for some high-quality dog treats?

Pillsbury is a highly recognized and highly reputable name in the food realm, and for solid reasoning; their croissants are arguably some of the most famous ones in existence, and you really can’t go wrong with a classic, fresh-baked croissant, hot out of the oven. My mom didn’t buy a whole lot of Pillsbury when … More Pillsbury, we need to talk
In our home, we have a sort of parallel between our two cats. Lionel is a tuxedo cat, and this year he will turn 12, which is hard to believe; our other cat, Timmy, is orange through and through, and he is two. As much as Timmy enjoys Lionel’s company, I don’t believe Lionel feels … More Trying to occupy a busy cat? Get them this toy
I think one could consider the state of my feet a bit of a paradox, in a sense. On the one hand, my feet are almost always freezing cold, to the point that if I happen to brush up against Blaine’s leg in bed, he actually yelps. On the other hand, despite my feet having … More Sweaty feet? Try these socks
If you read the word ‘croptuck’ and thought to yourself, ‘What in the fuck is that?‘, please don’t be alarmed, because I had the same reaction when I first stumbled across the term. I wasn’t sure if it was a sort of industrial tool or something along those lines, so when I discovered that a … More Baggy sweater? Try a croptuck
I have had a borderline obsession with hoodies since I was a child, and you can check with my mom if you don’t believe me. It got to a point that the closet in the office in my childhood home became the designated hoodie closet, and my mom would force me to go through them … More Drowning in sweaters? Get yourself a ‘Hoodie Hanger’
My dad has worn sunglasses for as long as I can remember. I should stipulate, however, that I am not referring to your typical, general sunglasses style. Rather, being a farmer, he has always worn sunglasses that double as safety glasses, hence why they’re always on his head. Always. A few years ago now, my … More Trouble with driving at night? Try yellow lens glasses
In yesterday’s post discussing earwax and what to do if you find yourself in the midst of a buildup, I mentioned that I recently purchased an earwax-cleaning device via Amazon. It arrived, and now that I’ve had a chance to test it out, I figured I would share my findings with all of you. The … More Do ear scope cleaners actually work?
While I don’t want to wrongly assume, I think that hair flyaways are an issue that is more relevant to women than they are to men. That is not to say that men can’t get frustrated with flyaway hairs surrounding their face, because I’m sure it’s happened to some poor bloke out there; generally speaking, … More Tired of unruly flyaways? Read this
When I was a child, I was very much under the impression that eating pasta for three meals daily was more than reasonable, arguably because I had an obsession with pasta that could rival the most patriotic of Italians. For context, I’m Hungarian, Dutch and Irish, so I’m not entirely sure where my love for … More Looking to add more fibre to your diet? Consider this pasta
When it comes to animals, most folks tend to associate ‘playing’ with dogs, but anyone out there who is the proud owner of a cat can attest to the fact that cats, much like dogs, enjoy playing. I suppose I would say that dogs perhaps tend to play more often than cats do in a … More Trying to entertain your cat? Read this
While I am unable to recall the exact age I was when I got my ears pierced, I think I was somewhere around the age of ten. My mom took me to Claire’s (lol) in our local mall to get the job done, and I had a piercing in each ear for many years. When … More Pierce your ears at home with this neat little tool
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
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?
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
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 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
It has been a particularly hot summer here in Southern Ontario, and anyone who works outdoors can arguably attest to this. It’s been brutal at times, and when you factor in the lack of rain, the combination becomes borderline intolerable. I am a heavy sweater in normal temperatures, so you can imagine how moist I … More Read this before your next Costco run
It’s no secret that I become borderline feral when it comes to pickles. My preference is dill, and I’m not a huge fan of sweet ones – in my opinion, pickles are meant to be dilly. Not sugary. Anytime I spot something new and exciting in the realm of pickles, I am more than willing … More If you like pickles, read this
Temu and Shein are two companies that are often viewed with controversy regarding how they go about executing their business. Both brands are similar in what they stock and carry; however, Shein seems to place a heavier emphasis on clothing, whereas Temu seems to prioritize home items. Despite their dominant area of goods, both Shein … More Temu: Scam or success?
When it comes to French fries, I imagine a lot of people would argue that homemade is the best kind. And, understandably so; a lot of foods are often the best tasting when they’re made by our hands as opposed to a machine in a factory, and many of us tend to appreciate food to … More French Fry showdown: which brand reigns supreme?
If you play contact sports or know someone who does, there is a strong probability you have heard of KT Tape. I know plenty of people who use it, two of my closest friends included, who are also my rugby teammates, and I have observed that folks who use KT Tape tend to stay loyal … More Is KT Tape worth the hype?
I haven’t exactly kept my love for McDonald’s a secret here on my blog, and I’m certainly not going to pretend that I am not an avid fan. The only person I may make this exception for and lie about my McDonald’s preferences to is my mother, and I know she will read this, so … More McDonald’s Birthday Cake McFlurry: yay or nay?
When it comes to fast food, McDonald’s is normally my go-to. I always order a McDouble with bacon and a six-piece chicken nugget with hot mustard, and it positively slaps each and every time. Sadly, McDonald’s is not available via DoorDash, so this past Sunday, I decided to order from A&W for what I believe … More A&W: Yay or nay?
I’ve really been riding the dog theme as of late, in the slim chance you didn’t notice yourself, and today’s post will continue this trope. If you don’t have a dog, I do apologize for the lack of relatable material. If you do have a dog, I sincerely hope these past few posts have been … More Looking for some higher-quality dog treats?

I had a pair of Crocs for quite a few years when I was younger. I wore them religiously, and while I’m not entirely sure what happened to them, I think perhaps they were worn out or a dog got a piece of them. I never got another pair after these ones were destroyed, but … More Need some shoes? Get yourself a pair of Crocs
I haven’t been to Costco in a hot minute, and as much as I could benefit from going, it’s arguably best I don’t to abstain from spending money on items I don’t necessarily need. It doesn’t matter how prepared you are prior to going to a Costco – you’re always going to buy things you … More If you love birthday cake, you need to visit your closest Costco
In the game of rugby, it’s more common than not to see most of the players on the pitch using either tape or braces for specific joints and body parts. Most of my teammates use one or the either, and the same goes for the majority of the other teams we play throughout the season. … More Sports taping versus bracing: which is more secure?
