I suppose I should initiate this post by explaining what Milia is, in case anyone is unfamiliar with the term. If you have not heard of Milia before, fair enough; this is perhaps a result of you having great skin and not encountering a tremendous amount of acne in your life. Milia is a form … More Read this if you have Milia around your eyes
I have come to realize that I am somewhat peculiar in terms of my snacking preferences. At least, I think so; in the evening, before I go to bed, I like to enjoy a wee snacky snack, and I look forward to it daily. However, the reason I say my snacking tendencies are a little … More Craving a snack that checks all the boxes? Read this
As most of my consistent readers already know, I have a borderline obsession with any television series or film depicting a Medieval setting. Anything to do with Vikings I have arguably watched at least five times through, and because I occasionally like to switch up what I’m watching, I thought I would explore Netflix a … More Have you seen ‘Cursed’?
When Blaine and I initially moved into our home, it was a bit of a mad rush in a sense to determine what we needed and required in regard to cleaning supplies. I had a few things ready to go, but not all of the essentials, and for the sake of saving time, I somewhat … More Dryer sheets versus dryer balls: which is better?
While grocery shopping a few days ago, I made my way to the condiments aisle because I needed to replenish my ketchup stock. I am a feign for ketchup, and have been since I was child; I know there are plenty of people out there who find ketchup positively revolting, but I do not, and … More Pickle ketchup: a killer combination
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
If you find yourself working in a trade, there is a strong probability you own some sort of clothing article from Carhartt, and understandably so; their products have a reputation for being warm, durable, and lasting quite a long time, and when you work in the trades, all of these characteristics are more helpful than … More Is Carhartt worth the price?
A few nights ago, I came to the sudden realization that spooky season is officially underway and I hadn’t yet watched a horror movie. I brought this to Blaine’s attention and we agreed we would watch one together, and ended up choosing one called The Deliverance via Netflix. I had heard a thing or two … More Have you seen ‘The Deliverance’?
I used to spend the majority of my free time reading when I was younger. I simply could not get enough of it; my passion for reading and literature was undeniably ignited by the Harry Potter series, seeing as I’ve read all seven books roughly six times each, and fantasy has always been one of … More Looking for your next read? I’ve got you covered
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
This past Sunday, my parents graciously took Blaine and me out for a lovely dinner. Before getting married, and when the economy was a little better, my family and I would go for dinner almost every weekend. I’ve grown to miss it quite a bit since moving out, so any opportunity I have to go … More Have you been to Crazy Canuck Smokehouse in Brantford?
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
About a month ago, Blaine and I started watching a relatively new movie released via Amazon Prime titled The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. We got almost halfway through it, but Blaine fell asleep, so I paused it where we left off in hopes of finishing it soon after. Alas, this thing called life seemed to … More Looking for an action movie that is actually exciting? Read this
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
