Halloween was yesterday, but if you read my last post you’re aware that today’s will contain even more interesting facts about Halloween. The day itself might be over, but that doesn’t mean one can’t appreciate reading up on its nature for shits and giggles. Again, this information comes from goodhousekeeping.com. “4. Immigrants helped popularize the … More Halloween, extended
In the unlikely case you’re unaware, today happens to be Halloween, my favourite holiday of the year. I’ve enjoyed Halloween and its accompanying spooky season for as long as I can remember, and for good reason; Halloween involves a day of dressing up in costume and eating candy. What’s not to enjoy? I thought I … More Happy Halloween!
Celebrities, personally, are not of any significant interest to me. Sure, I have my favourites, but I’m not someone who follows celebrity news or tabloids like some other folks do. I have nothing against people who do invest their attention in celebrities and news pertaining to them. It just ain’t for me. That being said, … More Yay or Nay: celebrity edition
Temporary foreign migrant workers are an absolutely essential component of the Canadian economy and our supply and demand chain when it comes to agriculture. Workers from various geographical locations travel to a foreign country annually for a significant duration of time to assist with farm work and the agricultural industry, and truthfully, we would not … More Another year, another goodbye
Chinese food really is a comfort food classic. It checks all of the boxes in terms of what a comfort meal should consist of, as well as what the consumer experiences whilst eating it, and just about all of us can agree that a solid Chinese food dinner hits the hunger spot. There is a … More Have you been to The Oriental in Brantford?
As I have mentioned once or twice here on my blog, I used to play the beautiful game known as rugby.

If at any given point in your life you’ve had to make invitations, business cards, or thank you notes, there is a strong probability you’ve heard of both Vistaprint and Shutterfly.

Look no further
After yesterday’s post, I thought it would make sense to provide all of you with a recipe to make with an air fryer. Seeing as I praised and applauded an air fryer as a cooking tool for the duration of yesterday’s post, I realized today that folks might be questioning what exactly to create in … More Here’s how to make pizza in an air fryer
I’ve had my eyes on an air fryer ever since Blaine and I moved into our home about four months ago. I figured I could ask for one for Christmas, or wait until one comes on sale, and to be honest, I forgot about getting one for a little while. That is, until I saw … More Yes, you really do need an air fryer
Allow me to state that yes, I am entirely aware that Pacific Rim is not in any way, shape or form a recent movie, and yes, I am aware that I am incredibly delayed in watching it. Now that we’ve gotten those discrepancies out of the way, let’s continue. I should probably mention that I’m … More Have you seen ‘Pacific Rim’?
After writing a post about a similar topic the other day, I thought it might be useful for me to delve into detail regarding the films I listed as some of my all-time favourite horror movies.

In case you read the title of this post and thought to yourself, what in the hell is PCOS, please don’t worry. It isn’t exactly the most common term, although, unfortunately, it is gaining popularity in the sense that this condition is affecting more and more women. PCOS is an acronym for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. … More The reality of living with PCOS
I will be entirely transparent in admitting that it has been a hot minute since I have watched a horror movie.

I … More Looking for some scary movies to watch this Halloween? Read this
As promised, today’s post is a continuation of yesterday’s subject matter – quite random facts about life that I hope you find relatively, or at least somewhat, interesting to read. These facts are as random as they are diverse, so here’s hoping we can all learn a thing or two from this information. Again, these … More … and some more random facts about life
As we are all aware by now, I do love me some solid random facts. And, as we are all aware by now, I don’t know why I enjoy reading random-ass facts so much, but I do, so leave me alone. It’s an odd interest, I know. I’m not even entirely sure you can call … More Check out these random facts about life
I’m willing to bet that the majority of us, upon injuring ourselves, naturally reach for hydrogen peroxide to disinfect said wound. And, really, why wouldn’t we; most of us have been under the impression that hydrogen peroxide is the best agent when it comes to cleaning cuts, scrapes and more, but I am here to … More PSA: Stop using hydrogen peroxide to clean wounds
Not too long ago, I was chatting with a sister-in-law about the concept of parenting, and how it varies from family to family. Parenting in itself is universal in the sense that it aims to successfully raise children, but there are a variety of ways to do it, some more aggressive and disciplined than others. … More Stop giving unsolicited parenting advice
One of my closest friends has had a whirlwind of a summer, to say the least. Between switching jobs not once, not twice, but three times, and also packing up and moving to Toronto with very little notice, it is safe to say she is feeling a little overwhelmed, and understandably so. She encountered a … More Here is your sign to call, not text, your friends

In case you’re unfamiliar with the … More A moment of appreciation for The Office
As promised in yesterday’s post, today’s will provide anyone interested with some more common prayers I’ve learned from the Catholic faith. I mentioned this yesterday, but the fact that these prayers have a Catholic affiliation does not mean they can only be recited by Catholics. Prayer is universal, and be practiced by everyone, regardless of … More How do you pray? (part two)
I’ve always found the concept of prayer to be an interesting one, mainly because of how subjective it is depending on the person praying and their spiritual or religious beliefs. For some of us, prayer is a simple conversation with the man upstairs, once or periodically throughout the day. For others, prayer involves getting down … More How do you pray?
Cooking is something that has relevance to just about all of us.

In case you’re unaware, this weekend happens to be Thanksgiving, a time of year in which we often gather with family and friends and acknowledge all of the things we are grateful for. Arguably, when most of us contemplate what it is we are grateful for, things like food, water and shelter come to mind, … More What are you thankful for?
It is arguable that when most of us hear the phrases ‘body image’ or ‘self-esteem’, our minds typically wander in the direction of fathoming women, or a woman. We associate issues with confidence and how we perceive our bodies predominately with the female sex because we have been socially conditioned to affiliate these problems with … More Why do we continue to ignore male self-esteem issues?
Earlier this week, I met up with a friend of mine to go for dinner.

I’m not someone who uses face masks to the extent I arguably should. Masks are great for your skin for a wide variety of reasons, and different masks offer different benefits. Generally speaking, any time I do happen to make use of a face mask, it’s for my acne, acne scars and pigmentation, so I … More Looking for a new face mask? Read this
I’ve been vaping for a couple of years now. I originally bought a vape in hopes of it allowing me to cut back on how many cigarettes I smoke in a given day, and I do believe it has helped me to cut back a bit. Perhaps not as much as I would like, but … More What is your go-to vape flavour?
I had heard about Jeffrey Dahmer prior to watching Netflix’s new release, ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’, but I didn’t necessarily understand the scope of his crimes and the atrocious acts he committed until I tuned into the series.

Blaine, my husband, is an avid sports fan. He always has been, to the best of my knowledge, and he’s been playing hockey and baseball since he was a wee guy. Blaine actually wanted to become a sports broadcaster. Ultimately, life took him in a different direction, but if there is anyone capable of doing … More Here’s why you should watch any ‘Untold’ series on Netflix
