If you follow my blog to any extent, I arguably do not need to remind you of my passion and interest in all things Medieval and/or Viking. I’ve seen most television and film adaptations of Viking and Norse history, and I definitely have my favourites, but one movie I haven’t gotten around to seeing until … More ‘The Northman’: a slow, disappointing burn
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 recently finished watching Amazon Prime’s absolutely wild television series known as The Boys. I wasn’t entirely certain as to what to expect when I started watching it, but by the end of the fourth season (the fifth and final is being released next year), I can definitely say this show is not a superhero … More Have you seen ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’?
Living in the country is truly wonderful. It’s far quieter and more private than living in a city or residential area, and the views are unmatched. I wouldn’t trade living in a rural area for anything, and there are certainly more pros to it than there are cons. One negative to living in the country … More Uber Eats in rural areas: yes or no?
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
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?
I believe I mentioned how I recently wrapped up watching all three seasons of Bridgerton, meaning I had to find something new to watch. I contemplated rewatching one of my familiar favourites, like Vikings or The Last Kingdom, and while these shows will arguably be some of my top picks for the remainder of my … More Do you watch ‘The Boys’?
In the last post I wrote about Bridgerton, I admitted I wasn’t taken by this series nearly to the same extent everyone and their mother seems to be. Bridgerton is, apparently, the show right now, and it’s all I see anytime I check my social media channels. Granted, algorithms don’t help with this, but regardless, … More Bridgerton: final thoughts
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
For Father’s Day this past Sunday, my dad made one small request to our family to celebrate – to go out for dinner, together, and to enjoy some Mexican food. My Dad had a specific spot in mind, and while he had tried their takeout once prior, none of us had yet had the pleasure … More You need to visit Lily’s Tacos in Simcoe
I wrote a post a little while ago detailing my honest thoughts about the widely popular Netflix television series known as Bridgerton. I enjoyed elements of it, and while I don’t necessarily think the show lives up to the ridiculous hype it is receiving in the media, it is a decent watch. I’m halfway through … More Queen Charlotte: a helpful guide for watching Bridgerton
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
When my sister and I were a lot younger, we would often visit medieval and Renaissance fairs courtesy of my mom and our aunt. My mom’s sister and her kids (my cousins) would usually accompany us, and we had a hell of a time. If I had to guess, we probably visited one every summer … More Have you been to Wentworth Medieval Faire?
When I took the time the other day to use my infrared sauna, I suddenly decided that instead of continuing to watch something I had previously started, I wanted to watch something entirely new. I’m not a spontaneous person whatsoever, but every now and then, I surprise myself, regardless of how mild the spontaneity is. … More Have you seen ‘The Legend of Tarzan’?
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?
If you own or use Netflix, there is a strong probability you’ve heard something or another about a series that recently premiered titled Baby Reindeer. Categorized as a dark humour-drama-thriller mini-series, it stars Richard Gadd as Donny and Jessica Gunning as Martha. A significant detail to note is that Gadd, the lad who plays Donny, … More This is why you should watch ‘Baby Reindeer’
I have my favourites in the realm of muscle rubs, much like anyone else, I would imagine. I prefer using muscle rubs and ointments as opposed to actual pain medication, for example, Advil or Tylenol, and normally speaking, ointments prove to be effective for me when it comes to muscle strains and tears. I’ve been … More Muscle rubs: what you should know
My husband and I are avid watchers of true crime documentaries. Blaine likes them slightly more than I do; he will quite literally put on a serial killer special right before bed to fall asleep. I’m not entirely sure if I should be concerned about his preferences, but so far I haven’t noticed any red … More Have you seen ‘Unlocked: A Jail Experiment’?
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?
When it comes to pizza, my husband is a bit of a critic. I honestly have no doubt in my mind that, if he were ever faced with a situation in which he was required to give his life for a solid slab, he would; this man could eat pizza three meals a day for … More Here’s why Robby’s Pizza and Wings should be your go-to pizza spot
Fast food and I have what I like to call a delayed relationship. Growing up, my mom tried her best to keep my sister and me away from fast food because it isn’t necessarily the healthiest, and while I can appreciate my mom’s intentions, I still felt a bit deprived of fast food when I … More Fast Food apps: Are they worth using?
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
If you use Netflix, there is a strong probability you’ve heard of a recently released film titled Damsel. If you don’t use Netflix, there is still a strong chance you’ve heard something about this film because it seems to be all over social media at any given moment, based on what I’ve seen on my … More Have you seen ‘Damsel’?
