My mom has been trying to get to theatres to see Oppenheimer since it was first released a few weeks back. We are in our busy season on the farm, meaning it can be difficult to get away, even for a couple of hours to see a movie, so despite a few attempts to formulate … More Oppenheimer: an honest review
If you’re into survivalist shows, you’ve probably at least heard of, if not seen the series Alone. Blaine and I started watching it a few weeks ago, and thus far, I’m really enjoying it. The season we are watching takes place in the Artic, and the premise of the game is, essentially, you’re dropped off … More Have you seen ‘Alone’?
Blaine and I absolutely love the original Venom movie and have watched it together more times than we can count. For anyone who hasn’t seen Venom, a brief synopsis of the plot is as follows: Eddie Brock, played by the lovely Tom Hardy, is a journalist, engaged to Anne, played by Michelle Williams, who is … More Have you seen ‘Venom: Let there be Carnage’?
If you, like me, are a young, adult woman who still experiences acne, then this post is for you, my fellow friend. Well, really, this post is for anyone who experiences acne. I just figured the hook I used was stronger than a generic, all-encapsulating one. Acne sucks, and I don’t need to remind anyone … More Clogged pores? Read this
If anyone would like to take this opportunity to applaud me for composing such a delightfully witty and whimsical title for today’s post, now is your chance. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let’s get into it, shall we? I’m not a huge cake eater. I do like cake, don’t get … More Craving cake but no time to bake? Read this
Allow me to begin this post by admitting that while I am an avid fan of the television series The Witcher, I have not yet had the privilege of reading the books the show is based on, written by Andrzej Sapkowski. Given my English background, I can’t help but feel like a bit of a … More What is your take on the third season of ‘The Witcher’?
I like Oreos, but I wouldn’t say I love them. They’re tasty, don’t get me wrong, but when it comes to original Oreo cookies, personally, I’d rather nibble on a homemade chocolate chip cookie. Blaine likes Oreos, so I purchase mini snack-sized ones for him to take in his lunch when he is at work. … More Oreo showdown: which flavour is best?
I composed a post a short while ago discussing niacinamide and some reasons as to why one might use it, either topically and/or via supplement. I wasn’t overly savvy with all things niacinamide prior to writing a post about it, but after I learned a little more about it and some of the benefits it … More Read this before you use Niacinamide
Steamed dumplings have held their place close to my heart for quite a few years now. If I remember correctly, I believe the first time I ever sampled steamed dumplings was at The Mandarin, a well-known buffet-style restaurant here in Ontario, Canada. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t tried steamed dumplings sooner considering their phenomenal, dynamic … More If you’re a fan of dumplings, read this
If you took one look at me, you probably wouldn’t believe me when I tell you I tan relatively easily in the summer months here in Ontario. I say you arguably wouldn’t believe me because I’m fair; I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and normally speaking, we fair folk aren’t super friendly with the … More Want a tan without the sun? Read this
If you’re a fan of and watch The Last Kingdom on Netflix and haven’t yet watched the conclusion to the series, the film titled Seven Kinds Must Die, I would recommend averting your eyes from this webpage to prevent ruining the movie and the conclusion to such an epic tale. I don’t wish to spoil … More Seven Kings Must Die: a disappointing end to an epic story
Remember when FitBit came out and it was all the rage? I know, it seems like eons ago. Regardless of the length of time that has passed since FitBits were still considered relevant, they very much were, at one point, and everyone and their mother had one, myself included. I enjoyed using it, and while … More Move over, Apple Watch
If you’ve been in the beauty game for a while, you’re undoubtedly familiar with e.l.f. Cosmetics and probably don’t need to read this post, although I encourage you to do so regardless. If you’re newer to the beauty game, allow me to introduce you to this wonderful cosmetics company called e.l.f. Cosmetics. e.l.f. has been … More Let’s hear it for e.l.f. Cosmetics
I’ve been sporting a pair of Vessi running shoes for a few years now, and I’ve enjoyed my time with them. I imagine they would still be going strong if our dog, Lenny, hadn’t selected them as her newest target in the chewing game, but alas, she did, and I found myself desperately needing some … More Need some new kicks?

When I first saw trailers for a film titled Bullet Train a while back, I knew it was a film I wanted to see. I wasn’t entirely sure of what it is about, in essence, aside from being an action movie, and when I saw it had been added to Amazon Prime, Blaine and I … More Yes, you should watch ‘Bullet Train’
Allow me to begin this post by stating if you’re debating whether or not to spend the money and invest in a pair of Airpods for yourself, don’t. I’m saying this because I, like many others, fell victim to Airpods when they first came out and purchased them hurriedly because they were the wireless headphones … More Looking for some wireless headphones?

This past weekend, Blaine and I and his mom and dad attended a lovely wedding in Flamborough, Ontario. The groom is a friend and co-worker of Blaine’s, as well as Blaine’s dad, and we had been looking forward to the celebration since our invitation arrived in the mail. The now newlyweds chose The Earth to … More Looking for a wedding venue? Read this
Upon sitting down to compose today’s post, I was once again met with some highly discouraging writer’s block. I think I sat and stared at my laptop screen for 15 minutes until, out of desperation, I turned next to Blaine (he was watching television in our room) and asked him for some inspiration. He pondered … More Need a new mattress? Read this
If you have oily skin, you may be inclined to believe that your skin doesn’t require any additional moisture. The idea makes sense, really; if your skin already resembles the bottom of a pan after cooking bacon, you’re probably not thinking about when to reapply said grease. While this belief makes sense in principle, it … More Looking for a reliable face moisturizer? Look no further
Blaine and I have been parents to our pup, Lenny, for a little less than two months now. She has certainly shown her true colours in the last while, to say the least, and while Blaine and I are thrilled she has become comfortable with us, we aren’t the biggest fans of her chewing tendencies … More Is your dog a chewer? Read this
I’ve mentioned already that Blaine and I are making our way through The Walking Dead television series on Netflix. The duration of this show is rather extensive; I believe there are 11 seasons total, and while we are nearing the conclusion of the ninth season, from time to time, we like to watch something different … More Have you seen ‘Beef’?
Despite working at a golf course for a couple of years, I am by no means a golfer. I do understand the game of golf, to almost an entire extent, but I’m not super savvy with all things golf, and I’m absolute shit when it comes to playing the game. For Easter this year, my … More This is your sign to have brunch at MontHill Golf and Country Club
Earlier this week, my sister accompanied me on a much-needed Costco trip. I haven’t been to Costco for a hot minute, and I like to visit a few times a year to stock up on certain items, and also to peruse the shelves and see what is new and exciting. When my sister and I … More Need some energy? Try a ZOA
Anyone who has the (hopefully) pleasure of knowing me is certainly familiar with my snacking antics. I eat a lot, I eat regularly, and I love fruit, therefore a common snack food I enjoy is 100 per cent fruit bars that don’t contain any additional sugar. I have never been able to comprehend why the … More SunRype versus That’s It: a fruit bar showdown
I am not someone who supports the idea of technological advancements costing actual living people jobs. I think it’s rather shitty, as do a lot of people, and with the way things are going, I imagine we will see even more jobs lost to automation in the near future. The one and only exception I … More Struggling to keep your floors clean? Read this
Anyone who is prone to getting knots in their hair can attest to the unprecedented rage that rears its ugly head when trying to rake a comb through a tumbleweed. At least, the rage I encounter when trying to comb through damn near dreadlocks in my hair is tremendous. I figure the rage is a … More Got hair knots? Read this
I wouldn’t say I’ve been shy in expressing and sharing my love for all things Norse with you, my lovely readers. I find the Viking period of history, as well as Vikings themselves to be astoundingly admirable people in what they accomplished in their time on this earth, and I believe their ingenuity and warrior/farmer … More Vikings: Valhalla – season two shenanigans
Prior to living with my husband, I’ve never given much thought to who might require the services of a reflective surface while showering. As a woman, the regions of my body that require hair removal aren’t anywhere close to my face, therefore I’m not someone who needs a mirror in the shower as I’m not … More As it turns out, shower mirrors are great gadgets
I can’t exactly say I’ve kept my love and adoration for perfume a secret here on my blog. I’ve been obsessed with all things scented from a young age, and that is not an exaggeration; when I was about 12 or so, my mom used to have a rule that I had to keep my … More Is Burberry Her Eau De Parfum Spray worth buying?
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, my mom, sister and I spent an afternoon in Cambridge on the weekend to do a little bit of shopping. After our shopping came to a conclusion, we were trying to figure out where to go for dinner. My sister did a quick Google search to see what restaurants … More Have you been to The Black Badger in Cambridge?
