Like I said in yesterday’s post, issues with ribs are anything but pleasant. The biggest issue with rib injuries and their associated pain is the fact that we use our ribs and their related muscles and tendons a hell of a lot more than we realize throughout a given day; once a rib, or several … More Slipped Rib Syndrome: what you should know
I have always absolutely loved Asian cuisine and the incredible flavours that are often incorporated into dishes. There is something so deeply satisfying about indulging in a meal in which you can actually taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients, and Asian cuisine is no exception to this experience. Asian cuisine may be perceived … More Serve this grilled shrimp and noodle salad at your next dinner party
In today’s economy, I feel as though more people than not are searching for new and innovative ways to earn a few extra bucks. The cost of living here in Canada, at least, continues to escalate, and without an increase in pay in a personal sense, financial situations can get a wee bit hairy. Struggling … More Here are some easy ways to make some extra money
The concepts of sales and salesmanship are ones that have intrigued me for many years now. When I was finishing up high school, I wasn’t entirely sure of what I wanted to study in university, and sales was recommended to me by a number of people, one such person being my guidance counsellor at the … More If you’re in sales, read this
When it comes to cooking, the fewer dishes required, the better. I’ve conversed with a few different folks about how frustrating it is to consider how long it takes to prep and cook a meal, then clean up, versus how long it takes to actually consume it, and the realization is a wee bit disheartening … More How about a Pierogi and Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner for supper tonight?
When it comes to driving, kids who were raised on farms arguably have an advantage. It’s basically a right of passage, while being a child living on a farm, to learn how to drive well before the legal age; I’m not making reference to operating vehicles on roadways, but rather, out in large, open fields, … More How’s your driving?
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that my love and admiration for manatees stems from when I was a child, and I wasn’t lying. After writing yesterday’s post, I was inspired to see if I could locate a manatee stuffed animal I got when I was about ten from Epcot in Disney World. I can remember … More How well do you know manatees? (part two)
I’ve loved manatees ever since I was a child, and now, in my adulthood years, my love for them hasn’t wavered in the slightest. I find them positively adorable, and I think part of the reason I’ve grown to appreciate them as much as I do is because of hearing stories from my parents about … More How much do you know about manatees?
Delving back into yesterday’s post topic, today’s will be an extension of our conversation involving different types of ghosts and spirits that exist in the paranormal realm, and further, characteristics unique to each type. I wouldn’t necessarily say this is essential information, but I don’t think it hurts to know a little bit about types … More Know your ghosts (part two)
When it comes to the paranormal realm, the term ‘paranormal’ itself is a blanket term. The word paranormal can refer to a plethora, and further, a wide range of entities and energies, and the term itself refers to anything that cannot be explained, or justified, with reasonable scientific understandings and observations. Most people, when they … More Know your ghosts
When I wrote yesterday’s post about Easter, I was not, initially, anticipating dedicating a second post to the topic. Without sounding ignorant, I honestly did not realize just how much history there is to the holiday known as Easter, and because I was seriously lacking in my Easter knowledge, I figured there are plenty of … More As it turns out, Easter history is quite interesting
After writing yesterday’s post discussing helpful knowledge we should all try and know, I realized that one sole post simply was not enough to do the topic justice. I started thinking about how sharing this information could quite literally save a life somewhere, someday, and this thought then prompted a question – just how many … More Are you prepared for an emergency?
A couple of days ago, my mom, sister and I were having an interesting discussion pertaining to absolutely random knowledge we have learned that just might come in useful one day. I was explaining to my family how I recently watched a video detailing what to do, and what not to do, should you ever … More How savvy are you in random, useful knowledge?
When it comes to therapy, I would wager that there are more methods available today than ever before. I almost feel as though I’m hearing about a form of therapy for the first time on a monthly basis, and that is not a complaint; I think if we are able to develop and construct therapy … More Is somatic therapy for you?
Easter is just around the corner, and whether or not you celebrate this holiday, I think it is fair to say that the food associated with Easter is worth savouring regardless. Perhaps you have an entire spread planned, or maybe you’re going with something lighter, like finger foods; whatever your plans are, however, you might … More Wake up to some Easter Breakfast Casserole with this recipe
As I explained in yesterday’s post, Keurig and I share a long, complicated history. I’ve been through a few, to say the least, and after the last one crashed and burned, I knew it was time to move on from Keurig and spread my wings in the coffee maker realm. My sister, bless her, was … More Move over, Keurig: This should be your next coffee maker
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
I haven’t discussed anything related to the paranormal realm for quite some time now, and for this reason, allow me to state that I am not a supernatural professional. I’m not a ghost hunter, nor am I a paranormal investigator, a sensitive or a psychic; I just happen to be fascinated by the supernatural world … More Recognizing the severity of the supernatural
I feel as though the term ‘casserole’ has a bit of stigma attached to it. I realize that is a slightly dramatic statement, but hear me out; plenty of people pull their noses up at the idea of casseroles and write them off as being disgusting, and I’ve honestly never understood this judgment. I suppose … More Let’s make Cheeseburger Casserole
I’ve dabbled in using apple cider vinegar for a variety of reasons here and there over the past few years. At one point, I was drinking it diluted in water, and now, I’m actually using it as a skin toner; I’ve used it to tackle dandruff before, and I still do occasionally if I need … More Apple cider vinegar: what can’t it do?
I haven’t exactly kept the fact that I have Lyme disease a secret here on my blog, but in case you’re new or unfamiliar with me, I have Lyme disease. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s proceed, shall we? I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in the Spring of 2021. It’s … More Let’s talk Lyme logic
I realize the title of today’s post might seem a bit condescending in the sense that washing one’s hair isn’t exactly a difficult concept. It requires hair, water, some shampoo and conditioner, and it would be fair to assume there really isn’t much more to it. I recently watched a video posted to Instagram by … More Are you washing your hair correctly?
If you were to split me open right now, there is a strong chance that coffee as opposed to blood would come spilling out. That’s a rather bold way to open this post, but now that I have your attention, let’s proceed on the topic of coffee, shall we? Anyone who knows me can attest … More How much do you know about cold brew coffee?
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that the cat situation in my and Blaine’s home could be better as of late. We rescued a feral kitten, Timmy, and despite Timmy’s best efforts to befriend our other, older cat, Lionel, Lionel is not having any of it, and the two of them haven’t necessarily gotten off to … More Here’s how to introduce a kitten to an older cat (part two)
I can recall attempting to make monkey bread when I was probably about 12 years old. I don’t think it turned out so well, but up until now, I was under the impression monkey bread is always sweet, made with cinnamon. My understanding of monkey bread has shifted, however, thanks to a recipe I came … More Let’s make savoury monkey bread
As I stated in yesterday’s post, today’s will provide some specific techniques through which somatic therapy is conducted. Yesterday’s post was a sort of introduction to the concept of somatic therapy as opposed to delving into the nitty gritty details of how exactly it is performed, so I thought I would address that in today’s … More Let’s explore somatic therapy methods
I follow a handful of health and wellness advocacy accounts on social media, mainly Instagram, that I like to check in with from time to time. One account in particular I really enjoy because of her content is Mik Zazon‘s because she and I share a few similarities; she, like myself, was an athlete, and, … More Have you heard of somatic therapy?
Whenever I do a mental regroup in an attempt to determine which animals I’ve already covered in posts, and successfully come up with an animal I haven’t written about yet, I’m almost always surprised I didn’t think of said animal in question sooner. In today’s case, it’s turtles; I love turtles, as most folks do, … More Let’s take a moment to talk about turtles
War movies are a genre of film that I absolutely admire and appreciate, but tend to avoid for the most part. My reasoning for avoiding them is understandable, in a sense; oftentimes, war movies are incredibly sad as they depict the harsh realities of battle and what soldiers experience. That isn’t to say that we … More Have you seen ‘Devotion’?
For most of my life, I was blissfully unaware of the fact that I have Irish roots. My mom’s father was from Belgium and her mother was from Holland, and both of my dad’s parents are from Hungary. A couple of years ago, my mom, sister and I got my dad a DNA ancestry kit … More How much do you know about Ireland?
