Today’s post is a continuation of yesterday’s, discussing some incredibly helpful cleaning hacks. I doubt I speak for myself when I say the concept of hacks is a fickle one – sometimes, you come across a hack that seriously changes your life, and other times, you come across hacks that offer arguably the stupidest information … More Your home doesn’t stand a chance against these cleaning hacks
Cleaning is something that has relevance to just about all of us, with the odd exception. If you are someone that, for whatever reason, does not partake in cleaning tasks on a daily basis, please know you are the exception I speak of, and furthermore, congratulations. You have certainly done something right in your life. … More Move over, Mr. Clean
My mom has been trying to get to theatres to see Oppenheimer since it was first released a few weeks back. We are in our busy season on the farm, meaning it can be difficult to get away, even for a couple of hours to see a movie, so despite a few attempts to formulate … More Oppenheimer: an honest review
I genuinely feel as though casseroles are the subject of a tremendous amount of unwarranted scrutiny. For whatever reason, a lot of us fail to be overly keen toward the concept of ingesting a casserole of some sort, but I cannot fathom or determine why – casseroles are the shit, and you can make a … More Check out this casserole
Anyone who has, to any extent, followed celebrity tabloids will absolutely recognize and hopefully chuckle at my title. When my sister and I were younger, we were genuinely obsessed with celebrity tabloids (much to my mother’s dismay), and we would beg her to buy us one whenever we accompanied her on her grocery runs. I … More Celebrities: they’re just like us! (but not really)
Blaine and I don’t dabble in a whole lot of entertaining, but the odd time we do, I like to ensure I make a meal that not only (hopefully) pleases everyone’s tastebuds, but furthermore, enables guests to feel at ease and comfort. By that I mean I don’t want to prepare something ridiculously fancy, but … More Make this for your next dinner
Stress is, unfortunately, something that has relevance to just about each and every one of us in one way or another throughout our adult years. Varying in intensity, yes, and coming from a variety of different mediums, sure, but simply put, none of us are immune to experiencing stress, with the exception of someone positively … More Stressed about how to de-stress? Read this
During one of the last storms we had, a swing of sorts blew out of one of the trees on the property Blaine and I live on. The swing in question has seen better days – I’m pretty sure it was composed using nothing but ratchet straps, twine and sticks, but considering we have absolutely … More Give in to your inner child
Come summertime, it can be difficult trying to ensure you’re consuming enough water and electrolytes when you’re working outside in the heat. We know maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance is significant when you’re sweating excessively, but a lot of us are unaware of how to go about getting these electrolytes back into our bodies, and … More Need an energy boost? Try Nuun Sport
I should arguably clarify my title and make mention of the fact that when I say Wolverine, I mean the animal, not the character Hugh Jackman plays in X-Men. Not to say Wolverine from X-Men isn’t an impressive, admirable lad – he is, and I would be curious to see a fight between him and … More How well do you know Wolverines?
Some days I truly feel as though I could successfully compose an argumentative essay stating that the concept of helping others, in a general sense, is on the brink of extinction. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I firmly believe the pandemic made a lot of us either consciously or unconsciously … More When in doubt, help out
Onion rings are the shit, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. I realize those are fighting words to start off a post, but now that I have your attention, let’s chat about these delightful things commonly known as onion rings. They’re nothing fancy or special, but they’re tasty as hell, and homemade ones … More Let’s make homemade onion rings
After writing a post about the series Blaine and I have been watching called Alone, I’ve found myself more attentive to survival information and knowledge as of late. My new interest is a bit laughable, really; whilst sitting in the comfort of my own home, eating snacks and drinking coffee, I’m watching people who actually … More Could you live off the land?
If you’re into survivalist shows, you’ve probably at least heard of, if not seen the series Alone. Blaine and I started watching it a few weeks ago, and thus far, I’m really enjoying it. The season we are watching takes place in the Artic, and the premise of the game is, essentially, you’re dropped off … More Have you seen ‘Alone’?
For anyone unfamiliar with the term breakfast bowl, not to fret; I’m not even necessarily sure this term exists, but it does now thanks to my own ingenuity. A breakfast bowl is similar to a burrito bowl, but instead of containing ingredients commonly found within burritos, a breakfast bowl contains ingredients and food commonly associated … More Here’s how to make a breakfast bowl
I recently had some bloodwork done, and when my doctor called me and asked me to come in for an appointment to discuss the results, I figured they weren’t great. My doctor informed me I have a rather hefty hormone imbalance (which I already knew thanks to a naturopath), and he provided me with some … More Are your hormones out of whack?
I recently viewed a reel via Instagram depicting a middle-aged woman sharing publicly an experience she recently endured in West Vancouver, British Columbia. Her face is severely bruised and swollen, and it is evident that she is in pain. She explains how she attended a firework display and took the bus from the event to … More Heroism versus tragedy: how do we walk the line?
Hacks, in all forms, are something I can absolutely appreciate. When we come across a helpful piece of information or knowledge that relates to something we make frequent use of in our lives is one thing, but to unveil a more efficient or time-conscious method is another, and I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t enjoy … More You’re going to wish you knew these tricks sooner
Blaine and I absolutely love the original Venom movie and have watched it together more times than we can count. For anyone who hasn’t seen Venom, a brief synopsis of the plot is as follows: Eddie Brock, played by the lovely Tom Hardy, is a journalist, engaged to Anne, played by Michelle Williams, who is … More Have you seen ‘Venom: Let there be Carnage’?
Anyone who owns and reaps the benefits of crystals can attest to how truly beautiful a lot of them are. I’ve always loved rocks and have been collecting them since I was a kid, so once my sister introduced me to the crystal realm, I felt as though I had been born again, seeing such … More A beginners guide to crystals (part two)
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
I’m a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to the title of today’s post; I’ve never had the privilege of sampling peach pie myself, so I really can’t deem my title to be entirely appropriate. I have, however, heard from plenty of different people that peach pie is one of their favourite desserts to … More Praise for peach pie
I’ve found myself, at several different points in my life, absolutely astounded when discovering things I believed to be true are, in fact, absolutely false. And I’m not the only one, I imagine; it is a humbling experience to realize something we were convinced to be true for the entirety of our lives is actually … More Fact versus fiction: common misconceptions
Fish tacos, when prepared correctly, absolutely slap, in my own humble opinion. My use of the word slap, in this case, is to indicate excellence. It’s a term the young kids are using these days. I fucking adore fish tacos, and I order them just about any time I spot them on a menu in … More Here’s how to make homemade fish tacos
If anyone would like to take this opportunity to applaud me for composing such a delightfully witty and whimsical title for today’s post, now is your chance. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let’s get into it, shall we? I’m not a huge cake eater. I do like cake, don’t get … More Craving cake but no time to bake? Read this
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 composed a post a short while ago discussing niacinamide and some reasons as to why one might use it, either topically and/or via supplement. I wasn’t overly savvy with all things niacinamide prior to writing a post about it, but after I learned a little more about it and some of the benefits it … More Read this before you use Niacinamide
I’ve made mention here on my blog of my tutoring business, and for the topic of today’s post, allow me to make mention of it once more. I started tutoring about a year-and-a-half ago, roughly, and I’ve been enjoying it, for the most part. Like literally anything, there are pros and cons to tutoring. I … More Considering being a tutor? Read this
To avoid losing anyone’s attention span, I will assert that today’s post will be the last discussion regarding the Colosseum for a while. Could I write more about this breathtaking historical site? Absolutely. But I don’t want to beat a dead horse, so to speak. Yesterday’s post detailed what the Colosseum is composed of, and … More Did you know this about the Colosseum?
I swear, just about every year I hear about an incident involving tourists defacing a historical monument. I would wager I’m not the only one who seems to hear about these things on an annual basis; it probably happens a hell of a lot more than I hear about. My sister recently informed me that … More Can we stop defacing historic monuments?
