When it comes to chilli, most people have the image of a warm, rich, red and savoury version that comes to mind, and understandably so; chilli, oftentimes, does meet these credentials, and it is this particular version of chilli we tend to associate with the name itself. There are other types of chilli in existence, … More Let’s make White Chilli
The post I wrote a couple of days ago discussing the reality of being a young woman, or a woman, for that matter, in this world, prompted me to write another post dealing with similar subject matter, but perhaps in a more constructive sense. Allow me to acknowledge that by no means am I a … More Self-defense tips for young women, from a young woman
While grocery shopping a few days ago, I made my way to the condiments aisle because I needed to replenish my ketchup stock. I am a feign for ketchup, and have been since I was child; I know there are plenty of people out there who find ketchup positively revolting, but I do not, and … More Pickle ketchup: a killer combination
While the production line has finally ceased, my mom and sister have been hard at work over the last couple of weeks making homemade tomato sauce, using tomatoes from my sister’s garden. When myself and my cousins were smaller, my dad’s side of the family would come together to make tomato sauce, but once we … More Here’s how to make the best homemade tomato sauce
A little while ago, I wrote a post about Niacin. The purpose of the post in question was to discuss how Niacin can be beneficial to individuals who suffer from poor circulation; I do, thanks to my mom’s genetics, and she recommended I try some to see if it makes a difference for me, as … More What the heck is a Niacin flush?
The notion of masking is a prevalent concept in the mental health world, although it does relate more to ADHD or ADD in comparison to other diagnoses, from what I have read (and I am not an expert). Masking involves changing ourselves physically, emotionally, and psychologically to best suit our surroundings. I suppose an easier … More Masking: are you a culprit?
Agriculture, like any other sector of the business world, has its highs and lows. Regardless if you’re a cash cropper or involved with livestock, you’re going to have days that are great, and you’re inevitably going to have days that are pure shit. Sometimes I can’t help but speculate as to whether or not the … More The importance of challenging agricultural misconceptions
Anyone who suffers from a chronic illness can attest to how miserable it can be. For anyone who has the pleasure of not being chronically ill, allow me to say I envy you, and furthermore, that you probably have absolutely no inclination as to what it is like being sick or in pain all of … More Chronic pain and illness: an inconvenient burden for some
Brain health, as a general concept, is a rather important one. I think we should probably all aspire to enhance our overall brain health and function seeing as our brains are so significant in regard to what they do, and, thankfully, there are more materials available now than ever before to do just that. I … More Looking to boost your brain health? Read this
The idea of starting a business in contemporary society is, arguably, a daunting one. Given the state of the current economy, it is safe to say things have certainly been better in years past; this economic decline is not specific to businesses, as many other elements of society have been affected, but businesses are a … More If you’re a small business owner, you need these tools
Despite the name, it seems as though common knowledge is not, as a matter of fact, all that common. Granted, this varies depending on the subject matter of the common knowledge in question, but there is generalized information out there that all of us should be well-versed in, and unfortunately, are not. I thought it … More How good is your ‘common knowledge?’
The notion of starting up a business is, in my own opinion, rather daunting. This may be because I don’t have a tremendous amount of first-hand experience in business management, but I honestly feel as though even if I did, the idea would still seem unsettling. My parents and my older sister are business owners, … More Yes, you really can start your own business
Unsolved Mysteries is not, by any means, a new series. From what I could find online, the American series first debuted in 1897 and ran until 2010, and it was picked up again in 2020 with new episodes. The original creators of the show were John Cosgrove and Terry Dunn Meurer, and it originally starred … More Unsolved Mysteries: a must-watch
Yesterday’s post started our discussion of something referred to as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a commonly misunderstood and quite rare genetic disorder. Don’t stress if you’re unfamiliar with it, because I would wager most people are; I was, too, until I began educating myself on the matter because I may have it myself. There are two categorizations … More What the heck is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome? (Part Two)
When it comes to the medical realm, I figure it is more than safe to say that most terms and diagnoses sound completely foreign to anyone who isn’t involved in the realm themselves. There are some words I’ve heard over the years that sound anything but English, and I’m sure there are just as many … More What the heck is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?
Stretching is a concept most of us over the age of 5 are familiar with, but I imagine if I were to ask a random group of people if they stretch as often as they should the answer would be no. For those of us who do stretch on a regular or semi-regular basis, it … More Here’s why you really should stretch
It seems as though evenings in which Blaine and I are able to watch a movie together without him falling asleep are becoming more and more distant as of late. I don’t mean to sound as though I am blaming him – he works long, tiring days, so it makes sense he is pooped at … More Have you seen ‘Instant Family’?
There is a very strong probability that you, at some point in life, have consumed a Gatorade, and, quite honestly, understandably so. They taste good, they’re refreshing as fuck, and they’re a common option for athletes to swig from during, before, or following a game of whatever sport it is they play. I like Gatorade, … More Gatorade: not as healthy as you might think
When I sat down to write today’s post, I truly did not have the slightest clue as to what exactly I would write about. I eventually narrowed my topic down to discussing an animal of some sort, and upon asking my husband for some inspiration, he suggested writing about a jaguar. So, here we are. … More How much do you know about jaguars?
If you’re Hungarian, you have almost definitely sampled goulash at some point or another. If you’re Hungarian and you haven’t yet had the privilege of trying goulash, do your heritage a favour and go and get your hands on some. Goulash is not specific to Hungary, but there is a difference between traditional goulash and … More Let’s make Hungarian Goulash
Business is a concept that I am thoroughly familiar with, but perhaps not in the most traditional sense; I personally don’t possess a tremendous amount of first-hand business knowledge, but, I’ve been surrounded by business in my own family my entire life. My parents are farmers, and my sister owns and operates her own small … More Boosting business in the best way possible
I’ve had digestive issues, quite literally, since I was born. I’ve been informed that I had terrible colic as a child, and while after the colic subsided I didn’t have any issues for a few years, they undeniably returned once I was about 16. The stomach problems I began encountering when I was a teenager … More Can massage help with dietary issues?
I drink enough water to rival a fish, and that is not an exaggeration. Sometimes I actually can’t really believe how much water I throw down the gullet in a given day, but I haven’t spawned gills or fins as of late, so I think I’m in the clear. Believe me or not, but I … More Finding mould in your water bottle? Read this
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.

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 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)
