If you play contact sports or know someone who does, there is a strong probability you have heard of KT Tape. I know plenty of people who use it, two of my closest friends included, who are also my rugby teammates, and I have observed that folks who use KT Tape tend to stay loyal … More Is KT Tape worth the hype?
It is no secret to any reader who follows my blog to some degree that I play and love the game of rugby. I started in grade nine in high school, played a couple of seasons after I graduated, and stopped entirely, only to return to it again ten years later. To be entirely honest, … More Losing isn’t always a loss
If you don’t consider yourself a reader, I am sorry to inform you that this post is likely not going to tickle your fancy. So, if this is the case and you aren’t someone who enjoys reading, I bid you a good day and ask that you return tomorrow. For those of us still here, … More The beauty of disassociation through books
I’ve come to realize that, in the past, I have written a post addressing a movie or television series I’ve recently started, in which I state I will come back in the future and provide you with an update. There have been a number of instances in which I have failed to circle back. If … More An honest update of “What We Do in the Shadows”
Yesterday’s post discussing The Westdale Theatre in Hamilton, Ontario, serves as a more than adequate segue to introduce today’s post; my parents and I went to the Westdale to see Bullitt because my dad is a fan, and today, we will be talking about the movie in question. I had never heard of this film … More Have you seen “Bullitt”?
To celebrate my dad this past Father’s Day, my mom came up with a brilliant idea for a gift for him; she saw online that there was a screening of the 1958 film Bullitt playing at a theatre in Hamilton called The Westdale, and purchased tickets for her, me, and my dad. My dad is … More This is your sign to visit Westdale Theatre in Hamilton
As stated at the conclusion of yesterday’s post, today’s will be a continuation of absolutely arbitrary facts. I’ve always found random facts to be interesting to read, and considering how they’re simultaneously educational and entertaining, I figure there are worse things I could be occupying my free time with. Sometimes I will research specific facts, … More Facts for fun (part two)
I had a recent conversation with my mom during which she and I chatted about my blog. She reads it daily, and I admitted to her that there are times I simply cannot conjure an ounce of inspiration for a post idea and resort to what I call cheater posts. When I am in the … More Facts for fun (part one)
I absolutely love cats, and I always have. Despite the fact that I had a rather harrowing ordeal as a child with a cat involving me attempting to pet it and it, in turn, taking a chunk out of my hand, I was not deterred by these majestic beasts, and I imagine they will be … More Cats are smarter than you think
If I were to survey a group of people and ask them if they think it is harder than ever before to truly gain, and furthermore, hold, someone else’s attention, I suspect the majority would say yes. I’m not an expert, but I think the lack of presence amongst people nowadays can be blamed on … More The importance of being present
I would wager that most happy couples openly communicate with each other. Communication is a tremendous cxomponent of everyday life, and to an even further degree in the context of relationships; without it, shit can go sideways extremely quickly. With it, conflict has a much smaller window of opportunity to present itself in. It could … More The importance of communication in relationships
When I wrote yesterday’s post, I truly was not anticipating a secondary post on the same topic. But, as it turns out, deer are a lot more interesting than I initially thought, hence why we are here on a part-two post. I feel as though deer have earned a rather poor reputation in the animal … More How much do you know about deer? (part two)
While it is hard to believe, this June my husband and I will celebrate our third wedding anniversary. I met Blaine when I was 19 and he 20, and we have been together now for over 11 years. When I had my bridal shower a few years back, my mom, sister and I agreed that … More Let’s hear it for progressive wedding traditions
NASCAR and motorsports have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, thanks to my dad. He has a passion for mechanics, motorsports, classic cars and pulling tractors, to name a few, and he had me in his cars as soon as I was old enough when I was a kid. … More If you’re a NASCAR fan, you need to watch “Earnhardt”
Witty, strange and demented humour has always been a tremendous passion of mine. I get my sense of humour from my father, undoubtedly, and I am grateful to have been bestowed this blessing. The nuttier, the better, in my opinion. I’ve been wanting to find a new television series to watch because I’ve rewatched the … More Here’s why “What We Do in the Shadows” should be your next watch
My sister is a hell of a cook, and I am fortunate enough to often sample her creations. She is an absolute gem in the sense that whenever she makes something new and exciting for herself and my parents, she always makes extra for Blaine and me. Last weekend she tried her hand at homemade … More Let’s make homemade Big Mac Crunchwraps
I haven’t exactly kept my love for McDonald’s a secret here on my blog, and I’m certainly not going to pretend that I am not an avid fan. The only person I may make this exception for and lie about my McDonald’s preferences to is my mother, and I know she will read this, so … More McDonald’s Birthday Cake McFlurry: yay or nay?
Yesterday’s post inspired me to write another on the topic of ticks. After communicating the significance of being wary of these bastards and discussing the areas in which they often reside, I thought it would be helpful to share some of my own knowledge and tips for avoiding them entirely. If you work outdoors, it’s … More Read this to learn how to avoid ticks
When most people hear the word ‘tick,’ the thought of Lyme disease arguably comes to mind, and for good reason; specific types of ticks can transmit Lyme bacteria to the host they decide to feed from. Ticks are not a new concept, and they’ve been around for a while now. But, their prevalence is rising, … More Please take ticks seriously
When it comes to fast food, McDonald’s is normally my go-to. I always order a McDouble with bacon and a six-piece chicken nugget with hot mustard, and it positively slaps each and every time. Sadly, McDonald’s is not available via DoorDash, so this past Sunday, I decided to order from A&W for what I believe … More A&W: Yay or nay?
I thought I would use this post as an opportunity to remind everyone of just how hurtful words can be. I would argue that these days, verbal assault and bullying are worse than ever before as a result of a toxic combination of free will and a lack of accountability, specifically via online platforms, and … More The wrath of words
It seems as though just about each and every time I open up Instagram on my phone, I find myself watching a Reel explaining how to make a relatively common food from very uncommon ingredients. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if some foods should simply be left alone in their harmless existence, and how … More Cottage cheese … ice cream?!
I’ve really been riding the dog theme as of late, in the slim chance you didn’t notice yourself, and today’s post will continue this trope. If you don’t have a dog, I do apologize for the lack of relatable material. If you do have a dog, I sincerely hope these past few posts have been … More Looking for some higher-quality dog treats? Look no further
I had a pair of Crocs for quite a few years when I was younger. I wore them religiously, and while I’m not entirely sure what happened to them, I think perhaps they were worn out or a dog got a piece of them. I never got another pair after these ones were destroyed, but … More Need some shoes? Get yourself a pair of Crocs
While my background isn’t Polish, it is European, therefore, I have certainly familiarized myself with the joyous creations known as pierogis. Bizarrely, when I was a child, I wasn’t a huge fan of them. Thankfully, I grew up a bit, as did my palate, and while Blaine isn’t the biggest fan of them, I enjoy … More Let’s hear it for pierogis
I wager it is relatively safe to assume that if you own a dog, your dog arguably wears a collar. Perhaps not all of the time, and maybe only when said dog is taken for a walk outdoors, but it is more likely than not that if a dog lives alongside you, there is a … More If you have a dog, read this
I haven’t been to Costco in a hot minute, and as much as I could benefit from going, it’s arguably best I don’t to abstain from spending money on items I don’t necessarily need. It doesn’t matter how prepared you are prior to going to a Costco – you’re always going to buy things you … More If you love birthday cake, you need to visit your closest Costco
The prevalence of mental health issues is arguably at an all-time high, statistically speaking, and while this is an alarming realization, I wouldn’t say it is an unlikely one. This world is full of all sorts of atrocities, and it doesn’t seem to be improving anytime soon. So many of us are dealing with mental … More The importance of checking in on your loved ones
In the game of rugby, it’s more common than not to see most of the players on the pitch using either tape or braces for specific joints and body parts. Most of my teammates use one or the either, and the same goes for the majority of the other teams we play throughout the season. … More Sports taping versus bracing: which is more secure?
I was inspired to share a recipe with all of you for today’s post, with the inspiration stemming from a complete and utter lack of functioning brainwaves on my behalf. I think I’m having a Lyme flare-up with the shit weather we have been having here in Southern Ontario (cool and rainy), and despite my … More Let’s make an Amish Breakfast Casserole
