My book club and I are meeting soon to discuss this month’s chosen book, The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali. This might sound a little odd, but as soon as I learned the title of our chosen text, I had a sneaking suspicion it would be a damn good book, and I wasn’t … More Read or rid: ‘The Lion Women of Tehran’
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, my mom and I saw Hamnet in theatres this past weekend. Naturally, we decided to venture out in the midst of a snowstorm, and as choppy as the drive was in spots, it was positively worth it because my mom and I had the entire theatre to ourselves. It … More Have you seen ‘Hamnet’? (part two)
I have a love-hate relationship with William Shakespeare. I, like most other high school students, was first introduced to him in the ninth grade via Romeo and Juliet, his widely-known and recognized play, and continued to deepen my relationship with his works in every high school grade after that, some titles being A Midsummer Night’s … More Have you seen ‘Hamnet’?

Despite strongly associating with the identity of a creature of habit, every now and then, something new and exciting on Netflix catches my eye. I have my comfort shows as much as the next suspected autistic, with Brooklyn Nine-Nine almost always playing on repeat, but when I tuned into Netflix a few nights ago and … More Have you seen Matty Matheson’s ‘Just A Dash’?
I think one could consider the state of my feet a bit of a paradox, in a sense. On the one hand, my feet are almost always freezing cold, to the point that if I happen to brush up against Blaine’s leg in bed, he actually yelps. On the other hand, despite my feet having … More Sweaty feet? Try these socks
Pizza is arguably one of those foods that just about the entire world population enjoys. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say they don’t like pizza, and if I did, I certainly would not tell my husband because the man bleeds pizza. We always joke that if we weren’t married, he would probably start … More Try this the next time you order pizza
Anyone reading this post who knows me personally will likely think that today’s content is a wee bit biased, seeing as I married a beef farmer.

Continuing our chat about how to stay warm when you’re outside in freezing temperatures, I sincerely hope this information is actually useful to anyone reading this post. Having to spend extended periods of time outdoors when it’s so cold that snot is freezing to your face as quickly as it seeps out of your nostrils … More Feeling chilly? Try these warmth hacks (part two)
While there are hacks in existence for just about each and every facet of life these days, I can’t help but question why I’ve never before thought to explore hacks for keeping warm in frigid temperatures. I’m almost always cold, unless it’s above 30 degrees Celsius outside, and therefore have come to appreciate any and … More Feeling chilly? Try these warmth hacks (part one)
Within the past few years, vaping, as a concept, has absolutely exploded in terms of its popularity amongst all sorts of folks and ages. Some people positively despise the idea of vaping, while others fully support it, but personally, I cannot comprehend the logic behind people choosing to vape who have never been smokers of … More Don’t smoke? Then don’t vape
I could honestly kick myself for failing to think to investigate the fascinating ways in which New Year’s is celebrated around the world sooner, but better late than never, I suppose. Without intending any disrespect, after reading about how this holiday is celebrated globally, I can’t help but come to the conclusion that the ways … More How do you celebrate the New Year?

I was contemplating whether … More How do you celebrate the New Year? (part one)
While I realize Christmas, technically, was yesterday, today is Boxing Day, and if there was ever a day to continue a post about Christmas, it’s today.

Today’s post is an extension of the conversation we started yesterday about cloves and the wonders they work for teeth and oral hygiene. Enough of us have issues with our teeth, so I figure it’s a topic with widespread relevance. I’m not an expert, and I don’t recommend diving into anything without doing some research … More Sore tooth? Clove could help (part two)
I could keep this post incredibly short and simply write ‘yes’ in response to the question posed in the title, but that would not be fair to you, my wonderful readers. If you happen to be in a hurry, though, and only have time for a sentence or two, now you know. My love for … More ‘The Women’ by Kristin Hannah: Read or rid?
I will be honest and admit that while I used to be someone who wore makeup religiously, I no longer am that person.

Upon leaving this job to return home to the family farm, I … More What’s your favourite makeup hack? (part one)
I would argue that we are living in a world that has never before been so heavily inundated with dieting messaging.

I’ve been working as an English tutor for a few years now. I can thank my husband for encouraging me to post a tutoring ad on Kijiji many moons ago to begin the process of acquiring clients, and without his idea, I’m not entirely sure where I could be with my tutoring business. I’ve worked … More Interested in becoming a tutor? Read this
While I’m not certain, I suspect the term ‘self-care’ would sound like a foreign concept if you could go back in time about fifty years and ask any random individual about it on the street. I would wager that any generations succeeding the baby boomers would not be familiar with this term, arguably because self-care … More Here’s how to practice affordable self-care (part one)
The idea of feeling unsafe near and around men is arguably something all women can say they relate to. Perhaps in varying degrees of severity, but regardless of the extent to which a woman can relate to this fear, the relevance is staggering. I do not hate men, nor do I believe them all to … More It isn’t all men, but …
Allow me to begin this post by asserting my absolute and utmost respect for anyone trying to learn the English language, because it is hard as hell.

Despite feeling a twinge of guilt for extending this Halloween knowledge miniseries into three separate posts, I’m really not feeling too torn up, seeing as it is my favourite time of year, and I have been anything but subtle about my love for Halloween. There is a lot more information relevant to Halloween than I … More Test your spooky season knowledge with these Halloween facts (part three)

I’ve been using Spotify for a few years now, and I’m quite liking it for the most part. I can’t say I appreciate how their prices continue to increase annually, but that’s everything, it seems, and I’m also not a huge fan of their limited audiobook access (you get so many hours of listening each … More Have you tried Spotify’s AI DJ?
My husband and I have had a variety of robotic vacuums since moving into our home three years ago. Initially, we had a Roomba, and it worked fine. At least, it did prior to attempting to suck up a solid heap of dog shit, and while my husband dutifully tried to clean every last morsel … More Are Eufy robot vacuums worth the money?
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah was recommended to me by several gals in our book club.

My parents have abided by a consistent array of food selections for lunch for as long as I can remember.

I will be transparent and admit that when I posted part one of this haunted locations series, I expected it to end after part two.
