Easter Weekend

I want to start off my saying that I feel very fortunate to still be living at home with my parents, because that meant getting to spend Easter weekend together as a family, which I know not many people were able to do. I saw on social media that a lot of people made theirContinue reading “Easter Weekend”

My Simple Skincare Routine

I used to invest a lot of money in complex skincare products from Sephora. I was a big believer in the more expensive a product is, the better quality it’ll be, and the better my skin will be. Turns out, that’s not always the case. I was spending more money than I could afford onContinue reading “My Simple Skincare Routine”

What Should I Watch on the Treadmill?

Let’s face it, running on a treadmill is never as fun as running outside, and it doesn’t ever feel nearly as gratifying. But when it’s in the middle of winter, we don’t really have another option. I find that watching a TV show while you’re on the treadmill is a great way to pass theContinue reading “What Should I Watch on the Treadmill?”

Make a Salad You’ll Actually Enjoy

A little while ago I saw a post on instagram about people not enjoying their salads because they don’t season the individual ingredients going into their salad. The post went on to explain this more in-depth, and to give examples of seasoning each individual ingredient on its own before throwing it into a salad. WhenContinue reading “Make a Salad You’ll Actually Enjoy”

My Thoughts on ‘Love is Blind’

If you haven’t heard of Love is Blind, where have you been? And if you’ve heard of it but haven’t watched it, I highly recommend that you do. This post is going to contain spoilers, so if you have yet to watch the entirety of the show and are wanting to avoid having anything revealed,Continue reading “My Thoughts on ‘Love is Blind’”

Birthday Weekend – Food Edition

My boyfriend’s birthday was earlier in February, but since he was out of town for work, we waited until last weekend to celebrate. We decided to celebrate his birthday our favourite way to celebrate all occasions – with food! We went out for supper at a really nice restaurant on the Friday, and then onContinue reading “Birthday Weekend – Food Edition”

A Hair Queen

I recently went to get my hair done at Volumes Salon here in Edmonton, which I had never been to before. I was nervous because I never know what to expect from a new hair salon or stylist, and I was going in to get my hair bleached balayage style – so that’s a lotContinue reading “A Hair Queen”

Valentine’s Date Ideas – On a Budget

We all know the economy isn’t doing great right now – you don’t need me to remind you of that. So, some of us might be looking to do Valentine’s Day on a budget this year. Which isn’t a bad thing because to me, Valentine’s Day isn’t about showering one another in expensive gifts. It’sContinue reading “Valentine’s Date Ideas – On a Budget”

Garlic Bread

I found this garlic bread recipe while searching through some of my grandma’s recipe books. I’m not sure if she got the recipe from a cookbook, or if she made it up or got it from another family member, as it was just written out in her own writing. But it is nice and garlicky,Continue reading “Garlic Bread”

Sugar Cookies

This is just a basic sugar cookie recipe that I got from a Company’s Coming cookbook called Most Loved Cookies. I used this to make my Valentine’s Day heart-shaped cookies, and my family also uses this recipe every year to make sugar cookies at Christmas that we all decorate together! Hard margarine (or butter), softenedContinue reading “Sugar Cookies”
