The realm of crystals and gemstones is, to be honest, a rather confusing one if you’re new to it and don’t have the slightest inclination as to where to start. If it weren’t for my sister providing me with the basic fundamentals of crystals and their uses, I would be absolutely lost myself. My sister … More A beginners guide to crystals
Yesterday’s post introduced all of you to a curious creature known as the fossa. That is, unless, you’re far more cultured than me and had already heard of them, in which case, good for you, David Suzuki. I’m not bitter. Anyways, today’s post will continue our discussion of the fossa in hopes of educating anyone … More What the heck is a fossa? (part two)
When I first caught wind of an animal known as a fossa, I’ll admit I had my doubts. I certainly was not savvy with these creatures prior to reading about them to compose this post, and to be completely transparent, I Googled ‘cool animals’ to see what came up as inspiration for this post, and … More What the heck is a fossa?
If you happened to read the title of today’s post aloud, in the presence of others, and someone countered your exclamation with bless you, I would not be surprised. Kürtőskalács isn’t exactly the most common word, and furthermore, I imagine it is one most folks aren’t entirely familiar with. Referencing onesweetharmony.com, Kürtőskalács is the Hungarian … More Here is how to make Kürtőskalács
It truly blows my mind how many people I encounter that have lived in either the city of Brantford itself or Brant County for years that are not familiar with the Brantford International Villages festival. It’s been around for a while (since 1974, to be exact), and the Villages are something that is rather near … More If you haven’t heard of the Brantford International Villages festival, read this
I won’t gatekeep the three remaining love languages from you today, as I said in yesterday’s post that today’s would list the other three languages of love. I will, however, make you wait a little longer, or, rather, I ask that you don’t skip ahead just to get to the goods. Prior to learning about … More Do you know your love language? (part two)

I first heard about Mr. Chapman’s work through a friend of mine who recommended his … More What’s your love language?
Yesterday’s post discussed the concept of detoxing the body. If you missed it, I basically provided some information, referencing a source, regarding detoxing and an overview of some of the reasons why one might be inclined to detox, and furthermore, some of the benefits of and reasons for doing so. Today’s post will again address … More Read this to learn how to detox your body
Bodily detoxification is a concept that has been around the block once or twice, and its presence isn’t exactly new. I do think, though, that perhaps more people are familiar with detoxing in today’s day and age compared to 50, or 100 years ago; I can’t say for certain whether or not Mother Teresa was … More Read this before you detox
When I was a child, I can honestly say I had two tremendous fears – sharks and tornadoes. I’m talking, like, full-out hysteria; I was convinced that our irrigation ponds were infested with sharks and wouldn’t go near them, and anytime we had a bad storm, I would curl up in the bathtub in my … More Let’s talk tornadoes
I know, I know. The audacity I have to get that forsaken tune stuck in your head for not only one day, but two.

Part two
For anyone who understands the musical reference I’m making with the title of this post, I sincerely apologize for reminding you of that incredibly irritating yet simultaneously catchy tune. With the subject matter of today’s post, however, I deemed the title all too fitting, and I do ask for your forgiveness. Blaine told me he … More What does the fox say?
I wrote a post a while ago detailing all things infrared sauna, and I thought we would revisit the topic. I’ve been using an infrared sauna consistently for about a year-and-a-half now, and while the entirety of the period of time I’ve made use of one is probably closer to two years, the initial phase … More How often should you use an infrared sauna?
Continuing the theme of dreams and dreaming as referenced in yesterday’s post, today we will be chatting about the different types of dreams, and furthermore, what exactly dreams are.

I will be entirely transparent and admit that while I respect and appreciate moose, I find them a bit terrifying.

I figure it is usually best to take any information gained via social media with a grain of salt. If sources and references are provided alongside an educational social media post, that’s wonderful; the majority of things we see on social media platforms, however, in an educational context, are often presented without any background information, … More Have you heard of the ‘let them’ theory?
I am not a ghost hunter, although I probably would enjoy being one rather thoroughly.

This past Thursday, Blaine and I celebrated his 29th birthday.

I’ve always liked rice, don’t get me wrong, and seeing as I am preparing meals for … More Let’s hear it for rice
I often get the impression that Australia is a world of its own. They just seem to do shit their own way and refrain from allowing social norms and constructions to influence their way of life, and I think it’s rather admirable. One of my best friends is in vet school in Australia, and some … More Did you know this about Australia?
In case you’re new to my blog, I have Lyme disease. I realize that sentence is rather blunt, but I tell it like it is, my friends.

While I often communicate within my blog posts that life itself hasn’t necessarily been overly great for the past while, due to a variety of factors, I do realize how damn lucky we are when it comes to our planet and the incredible things it offers us.

Words, in principle, can be fickle.
