If you’ve played sports at any point in life, there is, unfortunately, a relatively strong chance you’ve incurred some sort of knee injury – if you play contact sports, it’s almost a guarantee. I injured one of my knees years ago playing rugby, and now that I’m playing again, that same knee has been re-injured. … More Sore knees? Try this brace out
I wrote a post a little while ago detailing my honest thoughts about the widely popular Netflix television series known as Bridgerton. I enjoyed elements of it, and while I don’t necessarily think the show lives up to the ridiculous hype it is receiving in the media, it is a decent watch. I’m halfway through … More Queen Charlotte: a helpful guide for watching Bridgerton
In my post a few days back discussing the growth of mould in water bottles and how to go about avoiding this happening, I mentioned how steel water bottles are arguably best in terms of mould prevention. Stainless steel, specifically, is non-porous, meaning it is the best material a water bottle can be composed of … More This should be your next water bottle
My sweet tooth and I became acquainted at quite an early age. I’m pretty sure I’ve liked chocolate since the moment I could stomach it, and I don’t expect my love for it to waver anytime soon. Believe me or not, but I swear the following information is true: according to my parents seeing as … More Craving something sweet? Read this
I haven’t exactly hidden my love and adoration for television series and films set in the Medieval and/or Renaissance era. From Vikings to Saxons, to Royals and Earls, I can’t get enough of this period in history, and I am rather grateful there are so many television and film productions available that take place in … More Is ‘Bridgerton’ worth the hype?
When my sister and I were a lot younger, we would often visit medieval and Renaissance fairs courtesy of my mom and our aunt. My mom’s sister and her kids (my cousins) would usually accompany us, and we had a hell of a time. If I had to guess, we probably visited one every summer … More Have you been to Wentworth Medieval Faire?
When I took the time the other day to use my infrared sauna, I suddenly decided that instead of continuing to watch something I had previously started, I wanted to watch something entirely new. I’m not a spontaneous person whatsoever, but every now and then, I surprise myself, regardless of how mild the spontaneity is. … More Have you seen ‘The Legend of Tarzan’?
I don’t mind donuts, but they’ve never been a personal favourite. I much prefer other sorts of pastries to donuts, for example, cookies or cupcakes, to name a couple, and while I have sampled some over the years that were decent, I’m just not a huge donut gal. My sister would throat-punch me if she … More President’s Choice Flake Outs croissant donuts: are they worth buying?
If you own or use Netflix, there is a strong probability you’ve heard something or another about a series that recently premiered titled Baby Reindeer. Categorized as a dark humour-drama-thriller mini-series, it stars Richard Gadd as Donny and Jessica Gunning as Martha. A significant detail to note is that Gadd, the lad who plays Donny, … More This is why you should watch ‘Baby Reindeer’
My husband and I are avid watchers of true crime documentaries. Blaine likes them slightly more than I do; he will quite literally put on a serial killer special right before bed to fall asleep. I’m not entirely sure if I should be concerned about his preferences, but so far I haven’t noticed any red … More Have you seen ‘Unlocked: A Jail Experiment’?
I wrote a post a while ago discussing Native soap and my honest opinion of it. If you didn’t read it, not to worry; I absolutely love the stuff, and not only because it smells so heavenly. The only reason I decided to purchase some was because it was on sale – that is what … More Looking for some better-quality soap? Read this
As I explained in yesterday’s post, Keurig and I share a long, complicated history. I’ve been through a few, to say the least, and after the last one crashed and burned, I knew it was time to move on from Keurig and spread my wings in the coffee maker realm. My sister, bless her, was … More Move over, Keurig: This should be your next coffee maker
If you use Netflix, there is a strong probability you’ve heard of a recently released film titled Damsel.

Quite a while ago, I wrote a post discussing how I had gotten into the habit of brushing one of our cats, Lionel, daily. I unintentionally got into this habit by, one day, randomly trying out my own hairbrush on Lionel to see how he would react; he absolutely loved it, much to my surprise, … More If you own a cat, read this
I wouldn’t consider myself a tremendous fan of Marvel and superhero movies, but I do like to dabble in them here and there. I can say I have not seen most Marvel films, but out of the ones I have seen, they’re usually damn good – the special effects in particular. Blaine fell asleep quite … More Morbius: hit or miss?
I’m putting my foot in my mouth to a moderate extent in the context of reality television and my thoughts about it; I wrote a post a little while ago depicting my honest thoughts about a reality television series titled Love is Blind, and in that post, I made mention of how I’m not an … More Love on the Spectrum: a must watch
My nails and I have come a long way over the years in terms of the quality of our relationship.

Most of my nails were bloodied stumps more often than not, and because … More Dry, cracked nails? Read this
I am entirely aware of how delayed I am in getting around to watching an episode from a commonly known television series titled Love is Blind, thus there is no need to remind me. To be honest, when the series first premiered and I read about it, I was rather presumptuous and deemed the show … More ‘Love is Blind’: an interesting approach to love
I’ve been seeing advertisements for Native soap via my social media platforms for quite some time now. I can recall initially seeing ads for Native deodorant, and apparently, now we have progressed into soap; regardless of the hygiene hierarchy, I couldn’t really understand what all the hype was about this brand until I discovered it … More Native soap: is it worth the hype?
When it comes to chocolate bars, I certainly have my favourites. Reese’s peanut butter cups are probably my number one choice, but, more specifically, the mega cups with actual Reese’s Pieces on top; I’m also a tremendous fan of Hershey’s Cookies and Cream bars, and Kinder Bueno’s. Despite having my go-to’s, in the instance I … More Let’s try rare chocolate bar flavours
I’ve dabbled in the mascara game over the years, and I like to think I’ve found one that trumps them all. Yes, I realize that is a subjective stance, because beauty is existential, but for me, personally, one mascara reigns supreme. As opposed to revealing this mascara in question right this instant, I thought I … More What is your mascara preference?
I don’t need to remind anyone who owns pets that the idea of having clean floors for an extended period of time is a distant, borderline unattainable one. When I say pets, I’m mainly referring to dogs, because I certainly feel as though dogs are a bit harder on flooring than cats are, especially in … More Mop and vacuum simultaneously with this genius tool
This past weekend, my mom and dad, my sister, me and Blaine ventured across the border to visit Buffalo, New York. The reason for the trip was that this little getaway was generously gifted to Blaine, Danielle and me as part of our Christmas gift; my parents had already stayed at the Salvatores Grand Hotel … More Need a getaway?

I was absolutely delighted to learn that a rugby documentary was recently added to Netflix. Rugby is popular and is well-known around the world, but here in North America, I sometimes feel as though the sport is slept on a wee bit. It doesn’t garner the fans nor the attention that the NFL or NHL … More If you’re a rugby fan, you need to watch ‘Six Nations: Full Contact’
This past weekend, I went with my mom and dad to theatres to see Ferrari. My dad is a tremendous car and motorsport buff; he has a car collection of his own, along with a pulling tractor, and between his ’55 Thunderbird, ’66 Cobra, ’69 Camaro, and my mom’s ’67 Mustang, it is safe to … More Ferrari: family over Formula One
When I studied at university, I majored in English, which most of you already know, and I minored in women and gender studies. One of the key teachings we discussed in my women and gender courses was the concept of victim blaming, and if you’re unfamiliar with it, allow me to explain. Victim blaming is … More Netflix’s American Nightmare: victim blaming at its finest
War movies are a genre of film that I absolutely admire and appreciate, but tend to avoid for the most part. My reasoning for avoiding them is understandable, in a sense; oftentimes, war movies are incredibly sad as they depict the harsh realities of battle and what soldiers experience. That isn’t to say that we … More Have you seen ‘Devotion’?
Claw clips have been around for a while now, but as of late, they seem to be gaining popularity. I can remember my mom always wearing her hair in a claw clip when I was a wee gal, and we’re talking 20 years ago, roughly. It almost seemed as though, for a while there, claw … More Looking for a sturdy claw clip? Look no further
Never did I think I would come across a food establishment on Christmas day to review, but I suppose stranger things have happened.

We were visiting Blaine’s parents and left later than we anticipated, and because … More Have you tried Tahini’s in Brantford?
I am blessed in the sense I am not someone who often deals with dry, cracked skin. My hands tend to dry out once the cold weather hits, as do my lips, but after some exfoliation and moisturization, neither cause me any excessive trouble.
