Painting Pottery

My friends Karlee, Sheryl, and I recently had a cute little friend-date painting pottery! We went to a studio called Clay & Cupcakes in South Edmonton since they offer to-go kits. These kits cost the same as you would pay to paint in-studio, and you get 6 paint colours per piece that you purchase, plusContinue reading “Painting Pottery”

Daisy Chain Book Co.

Daisy Chain Book Co. is a local, independent bookstore located just off 124th Street. Before having a storefront, they started off as a booktruck, which I think is an adorably magical idea. Now, it’s an adorably magical store. Seriously, this place feels like something out of a movie. I can’t believe it’s real! I loveContinue reading “Daisy Chain Book Co.”

Caramunchies

Caramunchies is a local Edmonton business that makes and sells delicious snacks. I finally purchased a package for myself to try from The Makers Keep at Kingsway mall, and oh man they are addictive. I’ve never been a huge cereal lover, and never really understood the hype around why so many people love cereal soContinue reading “Caramunchies”

Colleen’s Chocolates

If there’s one thing you can trust my word on, it’s chocolate. I love chocolate. I don’t remember the last time I went a full 24 hours without consuming chocolate in some form. If it’s not in solid form, I’m drinking a hot chocolate. I can’t get enough of it, ever. When I’ve traveled toContinue reading “Colleen’s Chocolates”

temper + lace

When you visit the temper + lace website, under the brand name it says different from the rest. And it’s true. temper + lace candles are different – they’re unlike any other candle I’ve ever had, and I mean that in the best way possible. Most candles I’ve purchased, while they have a nice smell,Continue reading “temper + lace”

Peters’ Drive-In

Michael and I finally went to Peters’ Drive-In here in Edmonton earlier this week. It opened back in May, but I wasn’t in any hurry to go when the lineup was apparently 3 hours long! I was going to wait for the hype to die down, and then started to worry it might never dieContinue reading “Peters’ Drive-In”

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”

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”
