Remember when FitBit came out and it was all the rage? I know, it seems like eons ago. Regardless of the length of time that has passed since FitBits were still considered relevant, they very much were, at one point, and everyone and their mother had one, myself included. I enjoyed using it, and while … More Move over, Apple Watch
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?
If you read the title of today’s post and thought to yourself, what in the fuck is seed cycling, please do not be alarmed. I had a similar reaction when I first heard this terminology, and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with farming, which is what I figured. To give you some context, … More What the heck is seed cycling?
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. You know when you say or write a specific word multiple times and it begins to look all cattywampus? I’m currently experiencing that with the word … More Differentiating dreams: a how-to guide
Dreaming is a concept that applies to all of us human beings, yet despite its prevalence, I imagine a lot of folks aren’t entirely savvy with dreams, what causes them, and their meaning. Personally, I haven’t remembered a dream of my own in years, but that is a result of using marijuana before I go … More Let’s talk about dreams
I firmly believe there is a hell of a lot of us in existence that doubt the power of a positive attitude or mindset. I cannot say for certain what the reasoning behind this is, aside from, perhaps, a lack of faith regarding our positivity and manifestations and what they can conquer. But, the right … More Attitude really is everything
There are a plethora of terms that exist within the beauty world that will have you scratching your head in confusion, to say the least. Granted, there are some bizarre words in just about any industry, but if I had to pick specific realms that offer the most insane terms, I would wager it is … More What the heck is Niacinamide?
I said it in yesterday’s post, and I’ll say it again in today’s; I am not someone who falls victim to seasonal allergies and I am damn grateful I don’t. For someone who spends the majority of their time working outdoors in close proximity to dander, dust and pollen, having to deal with allergy symptoms … More Suffering from allergies? Read this (part two)
Fortunately, I am not someone who suffers from seasonal allergies. At least, I don’t think I do; I’ll get a little stuffy and have a bit of a scratchy throat after cutting grass sometimes, but that’s about the extent of my allergy symptoms. While I personally am not a victim of seasonal allergies, plenty of … More Suffering from allergies? Read this
Upon sitting down to compose today’s post, I was once again met with some highly discouraging writer’s block. I think I sat and stared at my laptop screen for 15 minutes until, out of desperation, I turned next to Blaine (he was watching television in our room) and asked him for some inspiration. He pondered … More Need a new mattress? Read this

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. If you’ve been following my blog to any extent, regardless of consistency, you’re probably aware I have Lyme disease because I write about it here and there. You … More Lyme flare-ups: a how-to guide
I will begin this post with utmost transparency and admit that I am not someone who uses milk thistle. The reason I picked milk thistle as a topic for today’s post is because my mom recently started using it at the recommendation of her naturopath, and because I’m not terribly well-versed in all things milk … More Should you be using milk thistle?
Today’s post is a continuation of yesterday’s in regard to subject matter – we are talking about essential oils, the best types to use, and what they’re commonly known for. I am not an expert, but I would wager that each and every form of essential oil offers benefits as opposed to negatives. I mean, … More How well do you know your essential oils?
Essential oils have arguably exploded in popularity over the last few years. When I was a kid, I don’t think I had ever even heard of essential oils – nowadays, everyone and their mother seems to use them. I realize that is a stark generalization, but I’m hoping you get my point. The increase in … More Use these essential oils in your diffuser
I am quite literally writing this post doubled over in pain at my kitchen counter thanks to a lovely condition myself and a fuck ton of other women suffer from known as PCOS, which is short for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. The condition involves the development, growth, and occasional or frequent bursting of cysts on your … More The sad reality of women’s health
Spring may officially be upon us, but the weather here in Ontario, Canada, isn’t exactly reflective of this as of late. In fact, I’m pretty sure this period of time is when a lot of us fall victim to the cold, miserable grasp of a variety of delightful colds and viruses, and chest infections are … More Here’s how to tame a chest infection (part two)
I should probably make mention of the fact that while I am not certain I do have a chest infection, I’m pretty sure that is what I’m dealing with. I’ve had more than enough experience with them over the years, arguably because I smoke, and while just days ago the status of this shit in … More Here’s how to calm down a chest infection
A little while ago, I composed a post discussing gratitude. I emphasized the significance of recognizing what we are grateful for in our daily lives because it is so easy to take things for granted when we get caught up in daily routines and habits, and I truly believe acknowledging what we are thankful for … More Let’s start a gratitude list
I’ve definitely discussed apple cider vinegar here on my blog before, but I don’t believe I really went into detail regarding the many different ways it can be used to achieve a variety of outcomes. Years ago, I drank a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar a day for a few months. This stuff offers a … More How do you use apple cider vinegar?
I like to think I have pretty good oral hygiene. I brush my teeth regularly, and while I’m not nearly as consistent with flossing, I do dabble in it from time to time. I have an issue with receding gums, as do a lot of people. My dentist told me mine are a result of … More Should you be using mouthwash regularly?
Rather than bombarding you with a slew of different ways to handle someone who is narcissistic, I thought it might be more beneficial to break this topic up into two separate posts. I figure the topic of narcissism is heavy enough, let alone when a post resembles the closet in Narnia and just keeps going … More More tips for dealing with a narcissist
I firmly believe there are far too many people in this world who are entirely unaware of the tremendous potential and capabilities of baking soda.

Buckle up, folks, … More Let’s hear it for baking soda
Anyone who knows me personally will more than likely read the title of this post and chuckle to themselves, label me as a damn hypocrite, and carry on with their day.

When Blaine and I were scrolling through Netflix on the weekend, trying to find something to watch, Blaine just about jumped off the couch in excitement when he saw that ‘John Q’ was recently added. I was a little clueless as to why Blaine was so thrilled to see this title, and when I informed … More Have you seen ‘John Q’?
I should probably clarify the question that exists within the title of today’s post. When I say cat’s claw, I’m not referring to a literal cat claw that can be found attached to the pad of their foot; rather, I’m making reference to cat’s claw as an herb, and if you haven’t heard of it, … More What in the heck is cat’s claw?
I’ll admit I perhaps wasn’t entirely aware of each and every benefit the consumption of spinach offers, but here we are with a part two post.

If you’ve been around the block a time or two, you’re probably aware of the fact that spinach is considered to be a superfood.

There is a strong chance you’re heard the term fat-shaming before. In simple words, it essentially involves making someone overweight feel like a complete piece of shit because of their size, invalidating their own emotions and the fact that they’re a human being in the process.
