I’m relatively sure that I have already written a post discussing large water bottles, but because it was a while ago and I’ve since updated my hydration mechanism, I figure we can revisit the topic once again. If I remember correctly, and if I did already write a post discussing a particular water bottle I … More Looking for a large water bottle? Look no further
Blaine and I are both rather ill currently with this awful bug that seems to be taking out entire households in a single sweep. Blaine started feeling rough on Christmas Day, and myself a few days after him; we are both ridden with the plague, and it hasn’t exactly been pleasant, to say the least. … More Skunk sprayed your dog?

One of the several long-term side effects I deal with courtesy of having Lyme disease is tremendous neck tension. I have tension in my shoulders and upper back as well, but my neck takes the cake. I honestly crack my neck roughly 10 times a day (ask Blaine if you don’t believe me), and the … More Stiff neck? Read this
Quite a while ago now, I purchased the Revlon Salon One-Stepâ„¢ Hair Dryer and Volumizer. To be honest, I forgot I owned it because I think it was misplaced when Blaine and I moved into our home; I was pleasantly surprised to discover it a couple of days ago, and because Blaine and I recently … More Revlon’s Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer: hit or miss?
I take full responsibility and acknowledge my tardiness in getting around to watching arguably one of the best shows in existence, but I figure better delayed than never. In case the title didn’t give it away, the show in question I am referring to is known as Peaky Blinders, and I’m actually a bit pissed … More Yes, you should watch Peaky Blinders
For those who know me personally, you’re aware of the fact that my hair is quite long. The ends hang past the top of my ass, and it actually gets caught in my pants after using the bathroom, to give you an idea of the length. I’ve had long hair for a few years now, … More Want to curl your hair without using heat? Read this
As much as I enjoy watching series and movies dealing with significantly heavy subject matter, I do like to spice things up and throw a dash of comedy in here and there. Currently, I’m rewatching Vikings (shocking, I know), and I recently started Peaky Blinders which I am thoroughly enjoying thus far. If you’re familiar … More Derry Girls: a hidden comedy gem
I am an avid pickle lover – always have been, and arguably always will be. My preference is dill, and while I’m not a huge fan of sweet, or bread-and-butter pickles, if they’re the only pickles available, I will lower my standards and eat them. I’m all for pickle-inspired dishes, too, since we are on … More Costco Partini Fried Dill Pickle Chips: hit or miss?
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 Slaaiâ„¢ 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.

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

I’ve been sporting a pair of Vessi running shoes for a few years now, and I’ve enjoyed my time with them.

When I first saw trailers for a film titled Bullet Train a while back, I knew it was a film I wanted to see.

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.
