These are my own thoughts, ideas and opinions, and by no means am I trying to imply that I am certified to give concrete advice in the context of mental health; rather, this is … More Here’s how to help someone dealing with a mental health crisis in a pandemic
I’ve been chirped more times than I can count because I am a serial re-watcher. When I say I am a serial re-watcher, I am referring to how many time I re-watch television series as well as movies, and while I personally don’t see anything wrong with this behavior, apparently, others do. I get asked … More Do you re-watch shows? Read this to learn why it is a good practice
When it comes to discovering buried treasure, I think it is relatively safe to say that rabbits aren’t exactly the first thing that come to mind. Pirates, perhaps, or even a niffler (Harry Potter reference, if you know, you know), but normally speaking, not rabbits. That is, until I came across an article from The … More Have you heard about these treasure-finding rabbits?
I haven’t met too many people that don’t like macaroni and cheese, and arguably for a good reason; what isn’t there to like about soft, chewy noodles wrapped in a warm, gooey, cheesy hug? When I was avoiding gluten, dairy and egg in my diet a couple of years ago, it is safe to say … More Here’s how to make the best mac and cheese
Here in Ontario, it’s about that time of year again where winter occurs in the early hours of the morning, spring and then summer arrives around noon or so, autumn make its presence known mid-afternoon, and we are back to winter in the evening in the context of temperature. The weather around this time of … More Feeling down? Try one of these pick-me-ups

You’ve gotta feel alive every now and … More Have you seen ‘Alone’?
This past weekend, Blaine and I embarked on a much-needed getaway. In the seven years we have been together, not once have we gone on a mini-getaway, and as much as we would have liked to have done this sooner or even more often, we’re both a wee bit busy. I booked a one-night stay … More Have you heard of The Halfway Niagara?

Farming, I hope we are all aware, is one of the most significant professions in existence in terms of what it helps to achieve.

In the current world we are living in, it is somewhat arguable that we as humans have never been more conflicted in terms of our emotions.

Photography is something I have always had an interest in, and further, have always had a tremendous amount of respect for.

The innovations and advances that have occurred as of late in terms of recycling, repurposing and reusing plastic waste are tremendous.

It’s pretty bloody awesome. … More Read this to learn how to turn recycling into an income
Kitchen scraps, or food scraps, depending on what you prefer to call them, aren’t exactly the easiest things to make use of.

Within the past couple of years or so, my knowledge, appreciation, and respect for cannabis has exponentially increased.

The idea of escape rooms isn’t exactly one that appeals to me. While I believe the concept of escape rooms to be interesting, I personally have no desire to be locked in a room with a group of people and battle against the clock in an attempt to figure out how exactly to escape said … More Have you seen ‘Escape Room’?
The concept of repurposing is one I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for.

Anxiety, if you’ve ever experienced it yourself, isn’t exactly a joyful thing.

I was reading a Buzzfeed article not too long ago listing some of the best beauty and hygiene products that Amazon has to offer.

A couple of nights ago, Blaine and I were scrolling through Netflix, trying to determine what to watch, when we stumbled across a film titled Hit and Run. We watched the trailer, agreed it looked pretty enticing, and decided to tune in. Hit and Run “is a 2012 American action comedy film written by Dax Shepard, with David … More Have you seen ‘Hit and Run’?
Daylight savings is, in my opinion, one of the stupidest concepts in existence. Originally, turning the clocks back or forward, depending on the time of year, was done so to benefit farmers, but as someone who has been raised by, lives with and works for farmers, I can personally attest to the bullshit that stands … More Here’s how to prepare your body for daylight savings

Not too long ago, my sister and I were chatting about underrated country musicians. Eric Church came up and we agreed he is one of the most overlooked musicians in the country music realm, and I’m really not too sure why; he is an incredibly talented musician and performer, and I’d pick his music over … More Profile: Eric Church
Kangaroos have always fascinated me. They probably fascinate a lot of people. They’re such unique, interesting creatures, and while I am unsure if I will ever have the privilege to come face-to-face with one (not including through a zoo exhibit), I sincerely hope I do after reading an article from The Good News Network. Through … More Ever befriended a kangaroo? Apparently you can
