In lieu of yesterday’s post discussing knotty hair and how irritating it is to deal with, today’s will provide you with a solution to the endless battle of attempting to drag a comb through your locks without it snagging painfully. I was reading a Buzzfeed article listing some of Amazon’s best-selling products, and because I’ve … More This brush might change your life
I wrote a post a short while ago reviewing a product from a company called Tallow Twins. Tallow Twins, and the two awesome gals who founded it, are local to me; I recently started using their tallow-based For the Face moisturizer, and because I am so happy with the results, I figure it’s only fair … More Looking for an exfoliant? Look no further than Tallow Twins
Everyone and their mother seems to be talking about beef tallow as of late, and for good reason; it has exploded into the beauty realm with an undeniable presence, arguably a result of the incredible benefits it offers to those who make use of it. I try my best to shop and support local whenever … More Move over, moisturizer: Tallow Twins’ For the Face has you covered
I occasionally find myself perusing through random Amazon items when I’m high, as reluctant as I am to admit it. I have absolutely no inclination as to why this is a thing, but when I’m high, I enjoy online shopping, and once or twice I may or may not have ordered items that are entirely … More Ceiling fan … filters?!
I drink a borderline inconceivable amount of water in a day, and if you don’t believe me when I tell you how much, I won’t be disheartened as most people, including my former doctor, don’t. I drink two to four gallons of water a day. How do I know this? My water bottle holds one … More Feeling parched? Try this for a hydration boost
I have never used pre-workout at any point in my life with the exception of this past summer. Granted, I’ve always been familiar with it and what it does, but I never really saw a reason for me to use it personally. Playing rugby this past summer certainly shifted my perspective toward pre-workout, however. Back … More Looking for some pre-workout? Try this
I’ve said it before and I will say it again; regardless of how much preparation you undertake prior to visiting Costco, you will always end up grabbing items you were not planning on getting. You don’t go to Costco with a list – Costco provides you with your list. Or, rather, you don’t tell Costco … More Lucky Charms Pillsbury Soft Baked Cookies: yay or nay?
The issue of not being able to fall asleep is a widespread and incredibly frustrating one. There are few things worse than lying in bed, wide awake, while the clock ticks away, serving as a stark reminder that you have to be awake in a matter of hours without getting any sleep. It absolutely sucks, … More Trouble falling asleep? Read this
I realize the term fruit leather doesn’t exactly sound enticing, but please believe me when I proclaim it truly is. I will say that I would not recommend fruit leather to anyone who has weak teeth, because it is rather chewy, and furthermore, not to someone who doesn’t enjoy fruit. That would be a bit … More Fruit leather fan? Check this out
Suppose I were to sample a group of random people and inquire as to whether or not their favourite component of making cookies when they were children was sneaking chunks of raw cookie dough behind their mother’s back. In that case, I suspect the overwhelming majority would agree. Most folks I know love cookie dough, … More As it turns out you, can enjoy raw cookie dough with this product
I have never, at any point in my life, been someone who identifies as a ‘Lululemon girlie.’ If you haven’t heard that expression before, consider yourself lucky; essentially, the phrase refers to a woman who prefers to dress herself head to toe in Lululemon. I have no issue whatsoever with Lululemon girlies. The reason I’ve … More Need some runners? Consider Lululemon
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I recently visited Costco with my sister. The trip was originally intended for her; we went to pick up some items she needed for an upcoming catering job. I was tagging along, and so I deemed it only appropriate to venture into the store with her to keep her … More Craving something sweet? Read this
These past few days have been a little bit on the dull side for me. I ended up getting two concussions in the span of two weeks which is not great for my melon, and as a result of this, I cannot do anything overly physical. Basically, I have to avoid getting my heart rate … More This is your sign to visit Costco ASAP
I am not certain if everyone can relate to my experience with this, but it seems to me as though the summer months, as wonderful as they are, are an almost guaranteed ticket to the Dry Hair Express. Granted, I do work outdoors, so my hair is exposed to the sun and its rays to … More Dry, brittle hair? Read this
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
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?
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?
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
If you’ve played sports at any point in life, there is, unfortunately, a relatively strong chance you’ve incurred some sort of knee injury – if you play contact sports, it’s almost a guarantee. I injured one of my knees years ago playing rugby, and now that I’m playing again, that same knee has been re-injured. … More Sore knees? Try this brace out
In my post a few days back discussing the growth of mould in water bottles and how to go about avoiding this happening, I mentioned how steel water bottles are arguably best in terms of mould prevention. Stainless steel, specifically, is non-porous, meaning it is the best material a water bottle can be composed of … More This should be your next water bottle
My sweet tooth and I became acquainted at quite an early age. I’m pretty sure I’ve liked chocolate since the moment I could stomach it, and I don’t expect my love for it to waver anytime soon. Believe me or not, but I swear the following information is true: according to my parents seeing as … More Craving something sweet? Read this
Fragrance is something I’ve always been an avid fan of. If I recall correctly, I believe I started wearing perfume when I was in the seventh grade; I received a bottle of Juicy Couture perfume as a gift from a lovely young man, and ever since, perfume and fragrance are things I always have on … More This is your sign to get yourself a candle warmer
I don’t mind donuts, but they’ve never been a personal favourite. I much prefer other sorts of pastries to donuts, for example, cookies or cupcakes, to name a couple, and while I have sampled some over the years that were decent, I’m just not a huge donut gal. My sister would throat-punch me if she … More President’s Choice Flake Outs croissant donuts: are they worth buying?
In the context of physical activity, pulled and sore muscles are almost inevitable. Perhaps we failed to warm up properly before going a little too hard in practice; maybe we added more weight to our deadlift. Regardless of the reasoning behind strained muscles, anyone who has experienced the discomfort can attest to how irritating it … More Sore muscles? Read this
I wrote a post a while ago discussing Native soap and my honest opinion of it. If you didn’t read it, not to worry; I absolutely love the stuff, and not only because it smells so heavenly. The only reason I decided to purchase some was because it was on sale – that is what … More Looking for some better-quality soap? Read this
A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to meet a friend for coffee who I don’t have the pleasure of seeing nearly as often as I would like. She and I have known each other our entire lives and grew up together; she is actually the reason I started playing rugby, and that is … More Have you visited Pies and Tarts from the Heart?
As I explained in yesterday’s post, Keurig and I share a long, complicated history. I’ve been through a few, to say the least, and after the last one crashed and burned, I knew it was time to move on from Keurig and spread my wings in the coffee maker realm. My sister, bless her, was … More Move over, Keurig: This should be your next coffee maker
I have no shame in admitting I may or may not have a slight addiction to coffee. No one believes me when I tell them this, but, believe it or not, I do not, and never have, consumed coffee for its energy-giving abilities; I quite literally drink a coffee every evening around 10pm. As much … More Calling all coffee lovers
Quite a while ago, I wrote a post discussing how I had gotten into the habit of brushing one of our cats, Lionel, daily. I unintentionally got into this habit by, one day, randomly trying out my own hairbrush on Lionel to see how he would react; he absolutely loved it, much to my surprise, … More If you own a cat, read this
I’ve dabbled in using apple cider vinegar for a variety of reasons here and there over the past few years. At one point, I was drinking it diluted in water, and now, I’m actually using it as a skin toner; I’ve used it to tackle dandruff before, and I still do occasionally if I need … More Apple cider vinegar: what can’t it do?
