Well folks, we have made it to the third and final installment in my mini-series regarding all things crystals. I thank you for coming along on this ride with me, and further, for your patience; to be honest, I could arguably dedicate 40 posts to the topic of crystals, but to refrain from boring anyone, … More A beginners guide to crystals (part three)
Anyone who owns and reaps the benefits of crystals can attest to how truly beautiful a lot of them are. I’ve always loved rocks and have been collecting them since I was a kid, so once my sister introduced me to the crystal realm, I felt as though I had been born again, seeing such … More A beginners guide to crystals (part two)
The realm of crystals and gemstones is, to be honest, a rather confusing one if you’re new to it and don’t have the slightest inclination as to where to start. If it weren’t for my sister providing me with the basic fundamentals of crystals and their uses, I would be absolutely lost myself. My sister … More A beginners guide to crystals
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
I’m a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to the title of today’s post; I’ve never had the privilege of sampling peach pie myself, so I really can’t deem my title to be entirely appropriate. I have, however, heard from plenty of different people that peach pie is one of their favourite desserts to … More Praise for peach pie
I said in yesterday’s post and I’ll say it again – to learn something we have believed to be true our entire lives is, in fact, not, is a bit of a harrowing experience. This sounds dramatic, but I suppose, in a sense, we feel betrayed; how could we have allowed ourselves to consider something … More Fact versus fiction: common misconceptions (part two)
I’ve found myself, at several different points in my life, absolutely astounded when discovering things I believed to be true are, in fact, absolutely false. And I’m not the only one, I imagine; it is a humbling experience to realize something we were convinced to be true for the entirety of our lives is actually … More Fact versus fiction: common misconceptions
By no means am I going to give you the false impression that I’m well-versed in the world of meditation and already know everything about tapping, because I certainly don’t. I know of tapping, and have a basic premise of what it does, but for the sake of composing an entire post on the matter, … More Tapping: a how-to guide
Fish tacos, when prepared correctly, absolutely slap, in my own humble opinion. My use of the word slap, in this case, is to indicate excellence. It’s a term the young kids are using these days. I fucking adore fish tacos, and I order them just about any time I spot them on a menu in … More Here’s how to make homemade fish tacos
Yesterday’s post introduced all of you to a curious creature known as the fossa. That is, unless, you’re far more cultured than me and had already heard of them, in which case, good for you, David Suzuki. I’m not bitter. Anyways, today’s post will continue our discussion of the fossa in hopes of educating anyone … More What the heck is a fossa? (part two)
When I first caught wind of an animal known as a fossa, I’ll admit I had my doubts. I certainly was not savvy with these creatures prior to reading about them to compose this post, and to be completely transparent, I Googled ‘cool animals’ to see what came up as inspiration for this post, and … More What the heck is a fossa?
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’?
If you happened to read the title of today’s post aloud, in the presence of others, and someone countered your exclamation with bless you, I would not be surprised. KürtÅ‘skalács isn’t exactly the most common word, and furthermore, I imagine it is one most folks aren’t entirely familiar with. Referencing onesweetharmony.com, KürtÅ‘skalács is the Hungarian … More Here is how to make KürtÅ‘skalács
It truly blows my mind how many people I encounter that have lived in either the city of Brantford itself or Brant County for years that are not familiar with the Brantford International Villages festival. It’s been around for a while (since 1974, to be exact), and the Villages are something that is rather near … More If you haven’t heard of the Brantford International Villages festival, read this
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
Blaine and I wrapped up the end of an era last week; we finally finished watching AMC’s The Walking Dead, and from start to finish, all 11 seasons, it took us about a year to get through the entire thing. Considering this has been our go-to show since we moved into our home, its completion … More Have you seen ‘Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant’?
If you’re Hungarian, you probably read the title of today’s post, chuckled to yourself, and clicked to continue reading. To be honest, if you’re Hungarian and you are not familiar with Unicum, you probably should be. If you’re not Hungarian and haven’t heard of Unicum, I’m not surprised, but I am more than happy to … More Are you familiar with Unicum?
I’ve made mention here on my blog of my tutoring business, and for the topic of today’s post, allow me to make mention of it once more. I started tutoring about a year-and-a-half ago, roughly, and I’ve been enjoying it, for the most part. Like literally anything, there are pros and cons to tutoring. I … More Considering being a tutor? Read this
I have said to a variety of different people that I think it would be simultaneously helpful and not so helpful if animals could talk. If they did have the ability to speak, they could inform us when they need something or perhaps aren’t feeling their best self. At the same time, however, specifically in … More Do you know what to do if your dog is overheated?
To avoid losing anyone’s attention span, I will assert that today’s post will be the last discussion regarding the Colosseum for a while. Could I write more about this breathtaking historical site? Absolutely. But I don’t want to beat a dead horse, so to speak. Yesterday’s post detailed what the Colosseum is composed of, and … More Did you know this about the Colosseum?
Yesterday’s post about a rather unfortunate incident that recently occurred at the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, prompted me to consider how I haven’t actually dedicated a post to the history of this incredible monument. Sure, most people have heard of it, and many, like myself, have had the privilege of visiting the Colosseum, but I … More You know of the Colosseum, but do you know of its history?
I swear, just about every year I hear about an incident involving tourists defacing a historical monument. I would wager I’m not the only one who seems to hear about these things on an annual basis; it probably happens a hell of a lot more than I hear about. My sister recently informed me that … More Can we stop defacing historic monuments?
I’ve been working alongside my Dad on our family farm for a few years now. I’ve always worked with him/for him, but in the last five years or so, I’ve become more involved with the operation, and in doing so, I’ve found myself spending a lot more time with him. I love my dad something … More Dislike versus misunderstanding: a fickle concept
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
I won’t gatekeep the three remaining love languages from you today, as I said in yesterday’s post that today’s would list the other three languages of love. I will, however, make you wait a little longer, or, rather, I ask that you don’t skip ahead just to get to the goods. Prior to learning about … More Do you know your love language? (part two)
If you’re familiar with the five different types of love languages, you’re probably familiar with Dr. Gary Chapman, the man responsible for formulating the love languages in his well-known book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts. I first heard about Mr. Chapman’s work through a friend of mine who recommended his … More What’s your love language?
When it comes to bruschetta, I think most people are a fan. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they don’t like bruschetta, and the only logical explanation I can come up with for not being a bruschetta advocate is a dislike of tomatoes, perhaps. Regardless, hear me when … More Have a hankering for bruschetta chicken? Look no further
Yesterday’s post discussed the concept of detoxing the body. If you missed it, I basically provided some information, referencing a source, regarding detoxing and an overview of some of the reasons why one might be inclined to detox, and furthermore, some of the benefits of and reasons for doing so. Today’s post will again address … More Read this to learn how to detox your body
