When Blaine and I first moved into our home, there were a variety of cleaning products we needed and didn’t yet own. A vacuum cleaner was one thing we needed sooner than later, and after we purchased one, I realized I could benefit from a smaller handheld vacuum to do spot clean-ups. I ended up … More Need a handheld vacuum? Read this
On our way home from The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto a few days ago, my family and I found ourselves getting a wee bit hungry. My dad mentioned earlier on in the day that he had a place in mind for a dinner spot, although he was being a bit secretive about it, … More Have you visited Jake’s Grill and Oyster House?
When it comes to makeup-removing products, I can’t exactly say I’m an active player in the game. Please don’t come for me, skin professionals and those who work in the beauty realm, but I’ve never really made use of actual makeup-removing products when it comes to removing my makeup. I’ve always relied on my regular … More Drunk Elephant Slaai™ Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser: an honest review
This past June marked mine and Blaine’s first wedding anniversary. We agreed, back in June, that we would go out and enjoy a lovely dinner to celebrate; fast-forward to present-day September, almost October, and we still haven’t gotten around to commemorating our first wedding anniversary. That is, until this past weekend. We agreed that our … More Have you been to Fume RestoBar?
Quite a few years back now, I remember reading a story via Daily Mail discussing a seriously complex murder investigation that was unfolding in South Carolina. Perhaps the case caught my eye because I have family in South Carolina; regardless of the reason why I started minimally following this story, I certainly was not anticipating … More Have you seen Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal?
While I recognize it technically isn’t yet spooky season, it isn’t terribly far off, and given this is my favourite time of year, you can bet your ass I’ll be getting a head start on all things Fall. With Fall naturally comes horror movies, you know, because once October is here spooky season will officially … More Prepare to be scared
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?

While I don’t manage to make a trip out to the nearest Costco as often as I should, especially in the summer months here on the farm, I am fortunate enough to have a mom and sister who, before going to Costco for themselves, always ask me if there is anything I might need for … More Looking for a tasty treat?

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’?
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
Allow me to begin this post by admitting that while I am an avid fan of the television series The Witcher, I have not yet had the privilege of reading the books the show is based on, written by Andrzej Sapkowski. Given my English background, I can’t help but feel like a bit of a … More What is your take on the third season of ‘The Witcher’?
I like Oreos, but I wouldn’t say I love them. They’re tasty, don’t get me wrong, but when it comes to original Oreo cookies, personally, I’d rather nibble on a homemade chocolate chip cookie. Blaine likes Oreos, so I purchase mini snack-sized ones for him to take in his lunch when he is at work. … More Oreo showdown: which flavour is best?
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
Blaine and I wrapped up the end of an era last week; we finally finished watching AMC’s The Walking Dead, and from start to finish, all 11 seasons, it took us about a year to get through the entire thing. Considering this has been our go-to show since we moved into our home, its completion … More Have you seen ‘Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant’?
Steamed dumplings have held their place close to my heart for quite a few years now. If I remember correctly, I believe the first time I ever sampled steamed dumplings was at The Mandarin, a well-known buffet-style restaurant here in Ontario, Canada. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t tried steamed dumplings sooner considering their phenomenal, dynamic … More If you’re a fan of dumplings, read this
If you’re a fan of and watch The Last Kingdom on Netflix and haven’t yet watched the conclusion to the series, the film titled Seven Kinds Must Die, I would recommend averting your eyes from this webpage to prevent ruining the movie and the conclusion to such an epic tale.

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
Anyone who knows me personally is probably aware of the rather unfortunate experience I encountered when I had both of my helixes pierced. I was actually getting a tattoo touched up when I caught wind the piercing artist had no further clients for the day, and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to … More How hellish is your helix?
If you’ve been in the beauty game for a while, you’re undoubtedly familiar with e.l.f. Cosmetics and probably don’t need to read this post, although I encourage you to do so regardless.

I’ve been sporting a pair of Vessi running shoes for a few years now, and I’ve enjoyed my time with them. I imagine they would still be going strong if our dog, Lenny, hadn’t selected them as her newest target in the chewing game, but alas, she did, and I found myself desperately needing some … More Need some new kicks?

When I first saw trailers for a film titled Bullet Train a while back, I knew it was a film I wanted to see. I wasn’t entirely sure of what it is about, in essence, aside from being an action movie, and when I saw it had been added to Amazon Prime, Blaine and I … More Yes, you should watch ‘Bullet Train’
Allow me to begin this post by stating if you’re debating whether or not to spend the money and invest in a pair of Airpods for yourself, don’t.

This past weekend, Blaine and I and his mom and dad attended a lovely wedding in Flamborough, Ontario. The groom is a friend and co-worker of Blaine’s, as well as Blaine’s dad, and we had been looking forward to the celebration since our invitation arrived in the mail. The now newlyweds chose The Earth to … More Looking for a wedding venue? 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
If you have oily skin, you may be inclined to believe that your skin doesn’t require any additional moisture. The idea makes sense, really; if your skin already resembles the bottom of a pan after cooking bacon, you’re probably not thinking about when to reapply said grease. While this belief makes sense in principle, it … More Looking for a reliable face moisturizer? Look no further
Blaine and I have been parents to our pup, Lenny, for a little less than two months now. She has certainly shown her true colours in the last while, to say the least, and while Blaine and I are thrilled she has become comfortable with us, we aren’t the biggest fans of her chewing tendencies … More Is your dog a chewer?

I’ve mentioned already that Blaine and I are making our way through The Walking Dead television series on Netflix.

Despite working at a golf course for a couple of years, I am by no means a golfer.

For Easter this year, my … More This is your sign to have brunch at MontHill Golf and Country Club
For anyone who read the title of this post and thought of something inappropriate, get your damn mind out of the gutter. Noodles, for the sake of this post, refer to nothing more than types of pasta, and certainly are not making reference to a specific male appendage.

Earlier this week, my sister accompanied me on a much-needed Costco trip. I haven’t been to Costco for a hot minute, and I like to visit a few times a year to stock up on certain items, and also to peruse the shelves and see what is new and exciting.
