Today’s post will continue the conversation I began yesterday regarding baking soda water. If this is the first time you’re hearing of such a thing, don’t stress; I just heard about it myself within the past few months, and because I wasn’t entirely sure what the purpose of drinking water with baking soda mixed in … More Baking soda water: fib or fact? (part two)
I’ve been seeing more and more material popping up on my social media channels as of late pertaining to baking soda water. When I initially heard of such a thing, my first thought was ‘ew, that probably doesn’t taste great,’ but upon actually investigating the topic of baking soda water, I’ve come to learn a … More Baking soda water: fib or fact? (part one)
As strongly as I detest the scent of BioFreeze, I really am rather grateful for the product. It has been my saving grace on more than one occasion, and, during the rugby season, it’s on my body more often than not. In case you’re unfamiliar with it, BioFreeze is effective in terms of calming down … More BioFreeze patches: yay or nay?
Anyone who uses social media to any extent will arguably concur with the statement that the comments affiliated with posts are quite often more funny than the actual post in question. Sometimes, I can watch a few seconds of an Instagram reel and immediately know that the comments section is where the humour is, and … More Social media comment sections: yay, nay, or both?
I realized I haven’t shared a recipe here on my blog for a little while, so I figured one is due. I try my best to choose recipes I think would please most people, as opposed to something very specific that requires a tailored palate, and I figure pasta is one that normally appeals to … More How about some Cheesy Beef Pasta for dinner tonight?
Today’s post will wrap up our cleaning series. I could have gone longer with them, but I do not want to bore anyone, let alone irritate my readers with redundancy, so I figure four is more than enough. A number of these hacks from tasteofhome.com are ones I haven’t yet seen, and I hope the … More Check out these cleaning hacks that actually work (part four)
Occasionally, when I do a post series, much like the one we are dabbling with today, I can’t help but wonder if after the part two segment, readers begin to get bored with the content. If this is the case, I do ask that some of you communicate your boredom to me, and if it … More Check out these cleaning hacks that actually work (part three)
To continue our conversation about cleaning hacks and how to be as efficient as possible, I thought we could begin this post by perhaps offering my own opinions on the topic. More specifically, I thought it might be somewhat fun to share with you what my favourite cleaning task is and which one I despise … More Check out these cleaning hacks that actually work (part two)
Can anyone else relate to the frustration that occurs when you research any sort of hacks, or tips, pertaining to a specific matter, only to learn that the majority of the hacks listed are ones that have made multiple trips around the block? Personally, I find this infuriating, and while I can’t bitch too openly … More Check out these cleaning hacks that actually work (part one)
Cardio, for a lot of people, is not the preferred choice of exercise. Based on my own observations, cardio is a facet of exercise that is arguably important, but it is not one that tends to be enjoyed, or preferred, for that matter, by the vast majority of people who like to keep fit. I … More Looking to spruce up your cardio? Read this
If you’re like me and tend to watch and rewatch the same shows and series repeatedly, you can arguably relate to the frustration that occurs when you realize you probably could go for something new to watch, yet have absolutely no clue where to begin. I am obsessed with anything related to Vikings, Medieval times, … More Looking for something new to watch? Consider Marco Polo
I had a relatively severe eating disorder when I was in high school. I was officially diagnosed with Anorexia and Binge eating disorder once I began my recovery, and I recognize now that I also had Orthorexia, however, the term had not yet been coined when I was ill. I have lost count of how … More The danger of of using medical terms loosely
I’ve lost count of the number of times people have asked me what it is like living with Lyme disease, and, furthermore, the ways in which the illness impacts my daily life. As much as I appreciate the interest and the willingness of others to learn more about Lyme disease, I always explain to individuals … More Chronic illness: a different experience for everyone
This could just be my own personal observation, but does anyone else feel as though finding a new and creative recipe on the internet nowadays is rather challenging? There are millions of recipes available, yes, but so many of them are redundant and boring, and, personally, I like a little bit of creativity when it … More How about a Chicken & Cheese Tortilla Pie for dinner tonight?
I haven’t exactly kept my return to rugby after a ten-year hiatus a secret here on my blog, but allow me to remind you in the unlikely event you have forgotten. I played for roughly six years, starting in high school and playing for a couple of years after that, stopped for about ten years, … More Looking for some sports gear? Look no further than Iroqit
My mom, sister and I recently had a conversation about fish. Both my sister and I eat fish with Tartar sauce, however, my mother does not, and neither does my husband, Blaine. In Blaine’s defence, he has never really been a sauce guy. He prefers plain and, in my own humble opinion, boring, but who … More Here’s how to make your own Tartar sauce
I am fortunate enough to have access to a treadmill outside of a gym facility. My parents own one, and I am privileged to be able to use it whenever I please. I started running again last summer as part of my recovery from a severe concussion, and I’ve kept up with it in an … More If your treadmill feels off, read this
I’ve said it before, and I will happily say again how pleased I am with myself regarding my return to reading avidly. I went without the pleasure of reading for far too long, and now that my lengthy sabbatical has come to its conclusion, I can’t get enough of books. I’ve burned through quite a … More Looking for your next book? Read this
If you’re Canadian, you’re arguably aware of the upcoming Federal election to name the future Prime Minister of this country. Before we delve into the meat and potatoes of this post, allow me to clarify that I am not, in any way, shape or form, interested in your political party or candidate of choice. Politics … More Do your duty and vote
As we continue our discussion pertaining to the hindrance of a popped rib, this conversation has prompted me to consider how many times I have damaged my rib cartilage. I don’t think it is a great sign that I’ve lost count, so perhaps we will leave it at that. Despite how often I’ve had this … More Popped rib? Read this (part two)
Anyone who has had the privilege of experiencing a popped rib can attest to how positively miserable the sensation is. As soon as it occurs, you’re well aware of what you’ve done, seeing as the sensation is indistinguishable from most other injuries, and, sadly, once this type of injury occurs, it tends to happen again. … More Popped rib? Read this (part one)
If there are two things in this world my husband loves more than me, I am inclined to believe they would be hot dogs and pizza. I swear that Blaine could eat pizza daily for the rest of his life and never tire of it, and hot dogs are a close second. I should stipulate, … More Pizza … hot dogs?
Before anyone decides to judge me for dressing my dog in a onesie, please hear me out. If you read yesterday’s post, you will know that our dog, Lenny, was recently hit on the road by a trailer; the incident was entirely her fault, not to sound too harsh, but we are extremely fortunate and … More Looking for a dog onesie? Look no further
This past Tuesday was a rather hellish day for Blaine and me, but even more so for our sweet dog, Lenny. We rescued Lenny a few years ago now, and when she came to us she wasn’t quite a year old. She has grown and matured tremendously in the time we have spent with her, … More A gentle reminder to count your blessings
Occasionally, when I contemplate my childhood, I feel a sense of jealousy, as ridiculous as that sounds. When I was a child, my biggest concern was what my mom would be serving for dinner, or trying to stretch the limits of my bedtime in order to stay awake and watch just one more episode; when … More Don’t lose sight of what makes you happy
I suspect most people who possess taste buds have been to Montana’s at least once in their lives. I don’t think it is an exclusively Canadian restaurant chain, but, in the instance it is, I do offer my sincerest apologies to my American neighbours; without sounding too harsh, you’re missing out. I don’t go to … More What is your go-to Montana’s order?
I think it is common knowledge how important it is to start your day off with a good breakfast. I suspect most of us were inundated with this ideology from a young age by our parents or caretakers, much like I was, and the significance of breakfast makes sense; you want to begin your day … More Cake for breakfast? Yes, please
I’ve never really been one to consider myself an artistic person. Growing up, my parents were generous enough to enroll me in piano lessons, which I pursued for roughly six or seven years until I started to lose interest, and my sister and I were both involved in Hungarian dance (my sister still is to … More Feeling artistic? Lean into it
If you were to ask Google the question posed in the title of today’s post, it would answer you with two to three days as being the reasonable frequency to wash one’s hair. This seems like an adequate and relatively normal answer, and I would wager most people abide by this timeframe, give or take … More How often should you be washing your hair?
Despite how frequently I rewatch the same shows and series, every now and then, I am inspired to watch something new and, therefore, different. This instance of variety doesn’t occur terribly often, but when it does, I do my best to lean into this curiosity and allow myself to tune into something new and foreign. … More Have you seen “Alexander: The Making of a God”?
