We quicklyContinue reading “Must-Have Items for New Homeowners”

Scotland 2018

I had planned for this travel section of my blog to be for current travel stories, but since that won’t be happening any time soon, I figured I’d use it to share memories of trips I’ve already been on! My boyfriend grew up in a town called Peterhead, in the Northeast of Scotland. Back inContinue reading “Scotland 2018”

Best Knotted Buns

For today’s blog post, I wanted to share the recipe for the tastiest buns I’ve ever eaten.

My Favourite Jewelry Pieces

I struggled for a long time to find a style of jewelry that I liked, and that I felt I could wear every day without feeling too dressed up or gaudy. So, I used to just avoid wearing jewelry altogether. However, I’ve recently found myself drawn to dainty pieces of jewelry that are subtle andContinue reading “My Favourite Jewelry Pieces”

The Ultimate Pamper Night

I used to do pamper nights quite frequently, but over the years I stopped prioritizing them. At the beginning of 2020, I realized that I couldn’t remember the last time I had done a pamper night. So, I decided to try and dedicate at least one evening a week to it. It doesn’t always happen,Continue reading “The Ultimate Pamper Night”

Supporting Local

I’ll admit, I don’t know all the ins and outs of what goes on behind the scenes when we do or don’t support local. But what I do know is that when we support local, we keep our community businesses alive. And when we do that, we’re also helping to provide jobs for people inContinue reading “Supporting Local”
