The prevalence of mental health issues is arguably at an all-time high, statistically speaking, and while this is an alarming realization, I wouldn’t say it is an unlikely one. This world is full of all sorts of atrocities, and it doesn’t seem to be improving anytime soon. So many of us are dealing with mental … More The importance of checking in on your loved ones
In the game of rugby, it’s more common than not to see most of the players on the pitch using either tape or braces for specific joints and body parts. Most of my teammates use one or the either, and the same goes for the majority of the other teams we play throughout the season. … More Sports taping versus bracing: which is more secure?
I was inspired to share a recipe with all of you for today’s post, with the inspiration stemming from a complete and utter lack of functioning brainwaves on my behalf. I think I’m having a Lyme flare-up with the shit weather we have been having here in Southern Ontario (cool and rainy), and despite my … More Let’s make an Amish Breakfast Casserole
In yesterday’s post, I explained how my family recently and tragically lost one of our dogs. Remi was an Australian Cattle Dog and was only four years old before her life was cut short, and her passing has taken a toll on our family, understandably. When it initially happened, I’m pretty sure I was in … More Grief: not always navagational
This past Monday was a rough one for my family and me. My parents have three dogs, all of which are Australian Blue Heelers, and they’re quite literally our world. Blue is the oldest and is a male, and Finn and Remi are one year younger and are biological sisters. Blue is five, and the … More Rest peacefully, sweet Remi
Yesterday’s post introduced the topic of red light therapy, otherwise known as RLT, providing some background information about the concept and some of its benefits. RLT has become more popular in the wellness community in the past few years, which is wonderful, but I do think it is something that could benefit a significant number … More Should you try red light therapy? (part two)
I wouldn’t say red light therapy, as a concept, is a new one. But, within the past few years, it has certainly gained popularity based on my own observations, and I am pleased to see its growth, because it really is a wonderful thing. I wasn’t overly savvy with red light therapy prior to using … More Should you try red light therapy? (part one)
I’m currently in the process of re-watching one of my favourite shows, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, for the umpteenth time. I watched the episode a few nights ago, for anyone else who watches it, when Captain Holt loses his captaincy and is replaced by the lovely Captain Kim. Charles, desperate to reinvent his character and impress his … More Do the right thing
My husband’s birthday and my own are a mere four days apart, so we always celebrate them together. We are having a dinner with my parents, sister and grandmother to celebrate, and upon being asked where Blaine and I would like to order our birthday dinner from, we picked a restaurant that prepares one of … More Let’s make a “Killer Club Sandwich”
As of last Thursday, I am officially a member of the 30 club. This is the year for those of us born in 1995 to embrace the dreaded yet inevitable invitation we are graced with to become members of the 30 club, and while I still don’t really know how to feel about being 30, … More Hello, 30
I wouldn’t consider myself someone who is an avid watcher of Marvel, or superhero, films. I’ve seen a handful, and all of them have been entertaining from what I can recall, but I have friends who have quite literally seen every Marvel film in existence, hence why I don’t classify myself as a massive Marvel … More Here’s why ‘Thunderbolts*’ is so much more than a Marvel movie
I wrote a post a short while ago discussing something known as oil pulling.

I wrote a post a little while ago about a show I’m currently watching called Marco Polo. While I’m finding it a little tricky to follow at times regarding its plot, it is a great watch, and I definitely recommend it. In the show, a specific form of martial arts, referred to as Praying Mantis … More Have you heard of Praying Mantis Kung Fu?
The ingredients you incorporate into your rub can quite honestly make or break the cut of meat in question when it comes to steak. Even worse is going without a rub entirely, and in my own humble opinion, preparing any type of meat without seasoning is a crime against humanity. I’m fortunate to have been … More What is your go-to steak rub?
When I was a child, I was absolutely under the impression that calzones were the best-tasting food in existence. I had one and was immediately hooked, and while I’ve grown and matured a bit since this occurrence, I still think calzones are fucking fire, and they’re a common comfort food favourite. I’ve never tried making … More How about some homemade calzones for dinner tonight?
The expression ‘quick feet’ is arguably one that wouldn’t make much sense to someone outside of the sporting realm. Quick feet is a term commonly used across many sports, but normally sports that require some footwork, for example, soccer, football, rugby, etc., as opposed to a sport like baseball. That is not to say, however, … More Trying to quicken your feet? Read this
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.

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.

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.
