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 wouldn’t consider myself a tremendous fan of Marvel and superhero movies, but I do like to dabble in them here and there. I can say I have not seen most Marvel films, but out of the ones I have seen, they’re usually damn good – the special effects in particular. Blaine fell asleep quite … More Morbius: hit or miss?
I am loyal to a handful of comedy television series that actually have the ability to make me laugh aloud. I think most people would agree with me in saying that these days, truly hilarious comedy material is a little more difficult to come by than it once was, and this realization is a saddening … More Are you a fan of ‘Superstore’?
My nails and I have come a long way over the years in terms of the quality of our relationship. When I was younger, I had a nasty habit of biting and chewing my nails, in addition to the skin alongside them. Most of my nails were bloodied stumps more often than not, and because … More Dry, cracked nails? Read this
I am entirely aware of how delayed I am in getting around to watching an episode from a commonly known television series titled Love is Blind, thus there is no need to remind me. To be honest, when the series first premiered and I read about it, I was rather presumptuous and deemed the show … More ‘Love is Blind’: an interesting approach to love
I’ve been seeing advertisements for Native soap via my social media platforms for quite some time now. I can recall initially seeing ads for Native deodorant, and apparently, now we have progressed into soap; regardless of the hygiene hierarchy, I couldn’t really understand what all the hype was about this brand until I discovered it … More Native soap: is it worth the hype?
When it comes to chocolate bars, I certainly have my favourites. Reese’s peanut butter cups are probably my number one choice, but, more specifically, the mega cups with actual Reese’s Pieces on top; I’m also a tremendous fan of Hershey’s Cookies and Cream bars, and Kinder Bueno’s. Despite having my go-to’s, in the instance I … More Let’s try rare chocolate bar flavours
I’ve dabbled in the mascara game over the years, and I like to think I’ve found one that trumps them all. Yes, I realize that is a subjective stance, because beauty is existential, but for me, personally, one mascara reigns supreme. As opposed to revealing this mascara in question right this instant, I thought I … More What is your mascara preference?
I don’t need to remind anyone who owns pets that the idea of having clean floors for an extended period of time is a distant, borderline unattainable one. When I say pets, I’m mainly referring to dogs, because I certainly feel as though dogs are a bit harder on flooring than cats are, especially in … More Mop and vacuum simultaneously with this genius tool
This past weekend, my mom and dad, my sister, me and Blaine ventured across the border to visit Buffalo, New York. The reason for the trip was that this little getaway was generously gifted to Blaine, Danielle and me as part of our Christmas gift; my parents had already stayed at the Salvatores Grand Hotel … More Need a getaway? Visit Salvatores Grand Hotel
When I studied at university, I majored in English, which most of you already know, and I minored in women and gender studies. One of the key teachings we discussed in my women and gender courses was the concept of victim blaming, and if you’re unfamiliar with it, allow me to explain. Victim blaming is … More Netflix’s American Nightmare: victim blaming at its finest
I’m a sucker for proven, high-quality hair products, and if you follow my blog to any extent whatsoever, you’re already well aware of this. My hair is quite long (past my ass), and while I am fortunate in the sense my hair is relatively unproblematic, meaning I don’t typically experience any major issues with it, … More Dry, brittle hair? Read this
I love me a solid comedy movie, as most people do. Laughing is always a joyous experience, and it can bring out the best in just about anybody, so it makes sense why so many of us enjoy watching the comedy genre. The issue with comedy movies as of late, however, is that most of … More If you need a laugh, watch ‘The Out-Laws’
Claw clips have been around for a while now, but as of late, they seem to be gaining popularity. I can remember my mom always wearing her hair in a claw clip when I was a wee gal, and we’re talking 20 years ago, roughly. It almost seemed as though, for a while there, claw … More Looking for a sturdy claw clip? Look no further
Never did I think I would come across a food establishment on Christmas day to review, but I suppose stranger things have happened. Backtracking a little bit, but this past Christmas, Blaine and I found ourselves in a bit of a pickle. We were visiting Blaine’s parents and left later than we anticipated, and because … More Have you tried Tahini’s in Brantford?
I am blessed in the sense I am not someone who often deals with dry, cracked skin. My hands tend to dry out once the cold weather hits, as do my lips, but after some exfoliation and moisturization, neither cause me any excessive trouble. With my hands occasionally getting on the crispy side, I do … More Dry skin? Try Moroccanoil
I’m relatively sure that I have already written a post discussing large water bottles, but because it was a while ago and I’ve since updated my hydration mechanism, I figure we can revisit the topic once again. If I remember correctly, and if I did already write a post discussing a particular water bottle I … More Looking for a large water bottle? Look no further
Blaine and I are both rather ill currently with this awful bug that seems to be taking out entire households in a single sweep. Blaine started feeling rough on Christmas Day, and myself a few days after him; we are both ridden with the plague, and it hasn’t exactly been pleasant, to say the least. … More Skunk sprayed your dog?

One of the several long-term side effects I deal with courtesy of having Lyme disease is tremendous neck tension. I have tension in my shoulders and upper back as well, but my neck takes the cake. I honestly crack my neck roughly 10 times a day (ask Blaine if you don’t believe me), and the … More Stiff neck? Read this
I take full responsibility and acknowledge my tardiness in getting around to watching arguably one of the best shows in existence, but I figure better delayed than never. In case the title didn’t give it away, the show in question I am referring to is known as Peaky Blinders, and I’m actually a bit pissed … More Yes, you should watch Peaky Blinders
For those who know me personally, you’re aware of the fact that my hair is quite long. The ends hang past the top of my ass, and it actually gets caught in my pants after using the bathroom, to give you an idea of the length. I’ve had long hair for a few years now, … More Want to curl your hair without using heat? Read this
As much as I enjoy watching series and movies dealing with significantly heavy subject matter, I do like to spice things up and throw a dash of comedy in here and there. Currently, I’m rewatching Vikings (shocking, I know), and I recently started Peaky Blinders which I am thoroughly enjoying thus far. If you’re familiar … More Derry Girls: a hidden comedy gem
When Blaine and I first moved into our home, there were a variety of cleaning products we needed and didn’t yet own. A vacuum cleaner was one thing we needed sooner than later, and after we purchased one, I realized I could benefit from a smaller handheld vacuum to do spot clean-ups. I ended up … More Need a handheld vacuum? Read this
The concept of air purifiers is not one that I ever had much interest in prior to being diagnosed with Lyme disease. Air quality is important, granted, but I didn’t give too much thought to filters and purification systems until Blaine and I began renovating our home and I started experiencing Lyme flare-ups. When we … More Considering purchasing an air purifier? Read this
Perhaps a better-suited title for today’s post would be who hasn’t seen ‘A Perfect Storm’?, and I fully admit that it has taken me far longer than intended to get around to watching this movie. I had heard of it, and had furthermore heard it’s considered to be a classic in the opinions of some, … More Have you seen ‘A Perfect Storm’?
When it comes to makeup-removing products, I can’t exactly say I’m an active player in the game. Please don’t come for me, skin professionals and those who work in the beauty realm, but I’ve never really made use of actual makeup-removing products when it comes to removing my makeup. I’ve always relied on my regular … More Drunk Elephant Slaaiâ„¢ Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser: an honest review
I have a tremendous amount of respect for soccer as a sport and soccer players as athletes, but to be entirely honest, the game simply is not for me. I tried playing soccer when I was a child and again when I was a bit older in elementary school, and neither attempt proved to be … More Have you seen ‘Beckham’?
While I recognize it technically isn’t yet spooky season, it isn’t terribly far off, and given this is my favourite time of year, you can bet your ass I’ll be getting a head start on all things Fall. With Fall naturally comes horror movies, you know, because once October is here spooky season will officially … More Prepare to be scared
I’m a bit of a recluse when it comes to modern-day music. Part of the reason I’m not terribly savvy with up-and-coming artists and new music is because the radio in my truck gets two stations – one is static and the other is in Spanish. So, whenever I’m driving, I listen to music via … More Are you familiar with Bailey Zimmerman?
A little while ago, my parents went to a wedding to celebrate the marriage of longtime friends. The ceremony itself was within a parish, and the reception took place at Copetown Woods Golf Club in, you guessed it, Copetown, Ontario. My parents were thoroughly impressed with this venue, as well as the food served for … More Have you been to The Bistro at Copetown Woods Golf Club?
