Electrolytes are arguably a component of your life if you live a relatively active lifestyle. If you do lead an active and busy life and you don’t use electrolytes, consider this post as a gentle, suggestive sign that perhaps you should. I went without them for years and can absolutely notice a difference in how … More What is your go-to electrolyte?
I think it would be reasonably safe to assume that when most of us think of McDonald’s, cookies are not exactly the first thing to come to mind. McDonald’s is known for its fast food, arguably most for its hamburgers and chicken nuggets, so it makes sense that baked goods aren’t usually the first items … More McDonald’s cookies: yay or nay?
I have been consuming copious volumes of fruit for as long as I can remember. Fruit is almost always my go-to choice for a snack, and because I eat so damn much, I try to snack on fruit as often as possible in hopes of not rivalling the circumference of a killer whale. At this … More Fruit snacks: which brand reigns supreme?
In case anyone is curious, I have decided that it is a personal goal of mine to read all of Kristin Hannah’s works at some point or another. I’ve made mention of wanting to do this in previous posts, but now that I have actually decided, I feel obliged to share the news with all … More Read of rid: ‘Between Sisters’ by Kristin Hannah
Before we delve into today’s topic, allow me to stipulate that when I say toilet stains, I am not referring to actual shit stains. Rather, I am referencing stains that occur as a result of minerals, limescale, and hard water. By no means am I attempting to suggest that human shit can’t cake itself onto … More Tired of toilet stains? Read this
I, much like most women, I would imagine, have dabbled in a variety of hair products over the years, and I have yet to find one I can say I truly and undoubtedly love, aside from Moroccanoil’s Treatment Hair Oil. I’ve been using said hair oil for probably at least 15 years, and it is … More MONDAY Hair care: save your money
I am slightly ashamed that it took me 30 years to try a McDonald’s McGriddle, but here we are. I should arguably note that while my sister and I were growing up, McDonald’s was not something we ate. Ever. My mom tried her best to keep us away from fast food whenever possible, and as … More Are you a McGriddle fan?
I have conflicting feelings about artistic expression when it comes to me, personally. By no means do I consider myself an artistic person, and yet, I dabble in and enjoy writing and even a little bit of painting here and there. I can sew, although not well (my lines could rival those of a sewer … More Wanting to learn embroidery? Don’t buy this kit
I am, and arguably always will be, a sucker for fragrance. One of my favourite scents of all time happens to be vanilla, which my mother conveniently despises, so, naturally, when I was still living at home, I had to barricade myself and my scents to my own secluded corner in my bedroom in hopes … More Looking for something lighter than perfume?

I’ve never really been someone who deals with drastically dry skin, thankfully, on any part of my body. Sure, my lips get chapped when it’s extremely cold outside, and sometimes my hands start to resemble a reptile, but for the most part, I’m relatively well moisturized without having to use moisturizer itself. My cuticles, on … More Dry, cracked cuticles? Read this
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? Read this
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?

I know, I know – here we are, discussing yet another one of Kristin Hannah’s books. I’m not sorry about it, if I’m being entirely transparent, and if you’re a fan of Hannah’s writing or have read any of her works, I know you get it. I could boot myself in the shins for waiting … More Read or rid: ‘Night Road’ by Kristin Hannah
I will be entirely transparent and admit that when Bridgerton first premiered as a television show on Netflix, I absolutely assumed I would not like it, and therefore boycotted it for quite some time. It was a stupid assumption on my behalf, because I didn’t allow myself to investigate what the show is actually about; … More Have you seen season four, part one, of Bridgerton?
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
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, my mom and I saw Hamnet in theatres this past weekend. Naturally, we decided to venture out in the midst of a snowstorm, and as choppy as the drive was in spots, it was positively worth it because my mom and I had the entire theatre to ourselves. It … More Have you seen ‘Hamnet’? (part two)
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
I have a sweet tooth that could rival the likes of the Cookie Monster, and that really is no exaggeration. When I was a kid, my mom had to put a lock on the pantry because I was constantly sneaking sweets anytime she had her back turned, and chocolate has always been my preference. I … More Tim Hortons Brookie: yay or nay?
Before anyone attempts to chastise me for reading yet another Kristin Hannah novel, I did state in a previous post addressing one of her works that it is my goal to read as many of her books as I possibly can. If you have read any of her stories yourself, you arguably understand my yearning … More ‘Firefly Lane’ by Kristin Hannah: read or rid?
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
My book club and I are meeting in a little over a week to discuss this month’s chosen text – Hounded by Kevin Hearne. I had never heard of this book prior to one of my friends naming it as her recommended choice, and upon hearing that this book is one of her personal favourites … More ‘Hounded’ by Kevin Hearne: read or rid?
I could offer an apology for addressing yet another one of Kristin Hannah’s magical works in the unlikely scenario that I really am starting to annoy folks with this redundancy, but I don’t want to. I could kick myself for waiting until I was 30 to begin exploring the incredible storytelling that occurs within Hannah’s … More Kristin Hannah’s ‘Winter Garden’: read or rid?
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’
I could keep this post incredibly short and simply write ‘yes’ in response to the question posed in the title, but that would not be fair to you, my wonderful readers. If you happen to be in a hurry, though, and only have time for a sentence or two, now you know. My love for … More ‘The Women’ by Kristin Hannah: Read or rid?
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
Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone happens to be the book my book club and I decided we would read together, and now that I am just about finished it, I wanted to share my honest thoughts. Prior to reading this novel, the only other text by Hannah I have read is The Nightingale. I like … More Read or rid: ‘The Great Alone’ by Kristen Hannah
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
