NASCAR and motorsports have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, thanks to my dad. He has a passion for mechanics, motorsports, classic cars and pulling tractors, to name a few, and he had me in his cars as soon as I was old enough when I was a kid. … More If you’re a NASCAR fan, you need to watch “Earnhardt”
Witty, strange and demented humour has always been a tremendous passion of mine. I get my sense of humour from my father, undoubtedly, and I am grateful to have been bestowed this blessing. The nuttier, the better, in my opinion. I’ve been wanting to find a new television series to watch because I’ve rewatched the … More Here’s why “What We Do in the Shadows” should be your next watch
My sister is a hell of a cook, and I am fortunate enough to often sample her creations. She is an absolute gem in the sense that whenever she makes something new and exciting for herself and my parents, she always makes extra for Blaine and me. Last weekend she tried her hand at homemade … More Let’s make homemade Big Mac Crunchwraps
I haven’t exactly kept my love for McDonald’s a secret here on my blog, and I’m certainly not going to pretend that I am not an avid fan. The only person I may make this exception for and lie about my McDonald’s preferences to is my mother, and I know she will read this, so … More McDonald’s Birthday Cake McFlurry: yay or nay?
Yesterday’s post inspired me to write another on the topic of ticks. After communicating the significance of being wary of these bastards and discussing the areas in which they often reside, I thought it would be helpful to share some of my own knowledge and tips for avoiding them entirely. If you work outdoors, it’s … More Read this to learn how to avoid ticks
When most people hear the word ‘tick,’ the thought of Lyme disease arguably comes to mind, and for good reason; specific types of ticks can transmit Lyme bacteria to the host they decide to feed from. Ticks are not a new concept, and they’ve been around for a while now. But, their prevalence is rising, … More Please take ticks seriously
When it comes to fast food, McDonald’s is normally my go-to. I always order a McDouble with bacon and a six-piece chicken nugget with hot mustard, and it positively slaps each and every time. Sadly, McDonald’s is not available via DoorDash, so this past Sunday, I decided to order from A&W for what I believe … More A&W: Yay or nay?
I thought I would use this post as an opportunity to remind everyone of just how hurtful words can be. I would argue that these days, verbal assault and bullying are worse than ever before as a result of a toxic combination of free will and a lack of accountability, specifically via online platforms, and … More The wrath of words
It seems as though just about each and every time I open up Instagram on my phone, I find myself watching a Reel explaining how to make a relatively common food from very uncommon ingredients. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if some foods should simply be left alone in their harmless existence, and how … More Cottage cheese … ice cream?!
I’ve really been riding the dog theme as of late, in the slim chance you didn’t notice yourself, and today’s post will continue this trope. If you don’t have a dog, I do apologize for the lack of relatable material. If you do have a dog, I sincerely hope these past few posts have been … More Looking for some higher-quality dog treats? Look no further
I had a pair of Crocs for quite a few years when I was younger. I wore them religiously, and while I’m not entirely sure what happened to them, I think perhaps they were worn out or a dog got a piece of them. I never got another pair after these ones were destroyed, but … More Need some shoes? Get yourself a pair of Crocs
While my background isn’t Polish, it is European, therefore, I have certainly familiarized myself with the joyous creations known as pierogis. Bizarrely, when I was a child, I wasn’t a huge fan of them. Thankfully, I grew up a bit, as did my palate, and while Blaine isn’t the biggest fan of them, I enjoy … More Let’s hear it for pierogis
I wager it is relatively safe to assume that if you own a dog, your dog arguably wears a collar. Perhaps not all of the time, and maybe only when said dog is taken for a walk outdoors, but it is more likely than not that if a dog lives alongside you, there is a … More If you have a dog, read this
I haven’t been to Costco in a hot minute, and as much as I could benefit from going, it’s arguably best I don’t to abstain from spending money on items I don’t necessarily need. It doesn’t matter how prepared you are prior to going to a Costco – you’re always going to buy things you … More If you love birthday cake, you need to visit your closest Costco
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 had never heard of it prior to a friend telling me about it, and because my teeth have taken a bit of a hit with my health over the past year, I was more than willing to try just about … More So, does oil pulling actually work?
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
