I’ve never really been one to consider myself an artistic person. Growing up, my parents were generous enough to enroll me in piano lessons, which I pursued for roughly six or seven years until I started to lose interest, and my sister and I were both involved in Hungarian dance (my sister still is to … More Feeling artistic? Lean into it
Without upsetting too many Italians, allow me to state that I consider pizza to be one of the most versatile food creations in existence. Aside from the classics, for example, pepperoni, Canadian, and Margherita, to name a few, you really can get quite creative with your pizza toppings, and I think it’s great that pizza … More Mexican … pizza?
When it comes to breakfast, I’m most certainly game; I, like most people, I imagine, love breakfast foods, and I have no issue eating foods that are normally associated with breakfast for other meals throughout the day. My husband and I love having breaky for dinner, and while we both thoroughly enjoy our typical fried … More Let’s make breakfast burgers
A child’s imagination really is a thing of wonder. I like to believe that the reason children are able to construct such wild and creative creations in their minds is because they haven’t grown up and therefore haven’t had their minds corrupted by the plethora of unfortunate happenings in this world. I’m not alone in … More The importance of supporting imagination in children
DIY crafts have always intrigued me. I guess I would consider myself a relatively artistic person, although that answer would arguably differ depending on who you ask, and as much as I enjoy being creative and dabbling in crafts, I often just assume I don’t have the time and therefore write the concept of DIY … More Here’s how to make your own Easter fireplace mantle
I warned you at the conclusion of yesterday’s post that today’s would be a continued discussion of random, interesting facts, and here we are. I could probably dedicate 100 posts to the topic of random facts, but I realize reading up on arbitrary facts isn’t necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, so I shall abstain. I … More It’s time for random facts (part two)
If only the opinions of social media could be broken down into two stark stances; good and bad. The reality is that opinions toward social media normally are not so simple in essence, and furthermore, I’m not entirely certain social media as a concept can be viewed as solely good or solely bad. There are … More Social media: good or bad?
Creative writing, for anyone unfamiliar with the premise, suggests its purpose directly within its title; it is the act of writing creatively, meaning there isn’t a right or wrong way to do it, and further, the writing itself can occur in a variety of forms. For one person, creative writing might resemble a short story, … More Let’s talk about creative writing prompts
As of late, I have been debating as to whether or not I should once again dabble in some creative writing. I mean, technically speaking, I suppose my blog is a form of creative writing, and I, therefore, engage in it on a daily basis. But, I personally wouldn’t loop my blog in with creative … More Finding freedom in creative writing
Creative writing, aside from my blog, is something I sincerely wish I dabbled in more than I do. Creative writing is the shit; for me, it’s like a temporary escape as you’re able to delve into an entirely fictional world and create it as you see fit. It’s quite similar to reading, in a lot … More Want to try creative writing? Read this
As much as I would like to think I am a crafty person, I’m really not. Sure, I’ve dabbled in some crafts and creations over the years, and while some have turned out relatively decent, the majority have not. It’s quite possible my creations don’t turn out as they please due to my lack of … More Read this for some DIY Christmas gift inspiration
A little while ago I wrote a post dedicated to my family’s sweet pup named Jake. He passed away about a month-and-a-half ago, and it is still difficult for me to discuss and even contemplate his passing for an extended period of time as he was such an integral component of our daily lives here … More Tips for naming your pet
Salad, from my own observations, has a bad reputation. When most of us hear the term ‘salad,’ our thoughts automatically associate it with being bland, boring, and certainly not something we typically have a hankering for. I feel obligated to stick up for salads a little bit, though. I personally love salad, and I’m not … More Here’s how to spruce up your salad
My love for Pinterest is no secret. I’ve been using it for a few years now, and although I initially used to to pass time in my three hour English lectures in university, I’ve come to realize just how handy this website/app can be in a variety of ways. Pinterest, in case you’re unfamiliar with … More Redecorating a space? Consider using Pinterest
Cooking, as wonderful and exciting as it can be, can quickly become redundant. Over time we become comfortable with certain dishes, allowing them to become routine and failing to excite our tastebuds in the process. My mom has always said that the longer she cooks, the more difficult it becomes. My food intolerances and sensitivities … More Here’s how to get out of that cooking rut
To be passionate about something is, in my opinion, a privilege not all of us are privy to. Having the opportunity to find something that brings us true joy isn’t something we’re all fortunate enough to experience, but it really is an incredible concept. I’ve been thinking a lot about my own passions as of … More Exploring your passion
When I first started blogging in my second year of university, the thought of posting daily, still, this many years later, was the furthest thing from my mind. Yet here we are. Daily posts to my blog are something I take a lot of pride in doing. I’m not familiar with any other blogs that … More The reality of being a daily blogger
I think it’s fair to assume that most of us have heard the phrase, “it’s the little things in life,” at least once or twice. We’re told to appreciate small joys and things that bring us happiness that aren’t particularly extravagant, and I think acknowledging these small joys is so important in terms of seeking … More Identifying your ‘little things’
Feeling overwhelmed isn’t exactly a pleasant feeling. Depending on the context of what’s causing you to feel inundated with stress, sometimes it can feel like we’re drowning in our own thoughts, unable to designate clarity. Feeling overwhelmed isn’t a permanent state of mind, though. In fact, there’s several ways to go about ridding our minds … More Purging emotion through creativity
Designating something in our lives that inspires us and evokes creativity is so important. Yet, I question how many of us have been able to identify our own muse. Finding whatever we’re passionate about can be a bit of a gray area. Perhaps we’re overwhelmed with focalizing one specific passion because we have several; perhaps … More The importance of finding your muse
Dating, as fun as it can be, can be somewhat problematic in terms of activity ideas. It’s far easier to simply stay in for the night with some snacks and Netflix as opposed to planning out a fun-filled day, so often times we get somewhat lazy and settle for the simpler option. As great as … More Summer date ideas
Apparently I’ve been feeling creative with my hair as of late, seeing as this is the second hair tutorial I’ve written about in a rather short period of time. I’ll take all the creativity I can get. I find that with long hair, styling and unique ideas seem to be easier to accomplish. Is it … More Dutch front braid hair tutorial
Since I began my own blog several years ago, people occasionally ask me how I went about the process. Questions like ‘how did you come up with the name?’ and ‘which platform site do I use?’ are common ones directed my way, but others ask how and why I keep up with my own blog, … More Thinking about starting a blog?
If you’ve ever encountered writer’s block, chances are you know how insanely frustrating it is. You are staring at a blank screen, or perhaps a blank sheet of paper, pen in hand or hands hovering over the keyboard waiting for inspiration to strike, but nothing comes. You try and force yourself to think of something, … More Writer’s Block
As of late, I have taken a liking to exploring some DIY crafts and projects via Pinterest. I find DIY crafts to be so intriguing because they allow someone to explore their creative side and create something wonderful in the process. I have a couple of friends who are quite invested with DIY home decor and … More The Benefits of DIY Projects
My blog is something I am incredibly passionate about. I began OnTheEdgeOfEverything roughly two years ago, and I have been posting content every day ever since.
