Gardening: One of My Favourite Summer Past Times
Well, it’s the middle of summer (July 1st to be exact), and my garden is flourishing as it always does in the hot July weather. I think I’ve finally figured out the best places for my favourite plants to grow huge and vibrant. My very first time having an “official” garden was maybe 9 years ago. I have done a “garden” (termed loosely here, because I plant more flowers than I do veggies), every single summer, usually starting around the May long weekend (Victoria Day). Sometimes I play around with... Read more...
Thoughts For Fall 2023
Hey ya’ll! So you know how I always talk about how much I love spring and summer, and that I detest the cold of fall and winter? Well, that’s still technically true. However, I’ve had a paradigm shift and I don’t know when it started or why. I’ve been feeling the feels of fall, and as I stare out at my backyard at my beautiful summer flowers, and I see all the leaves on the trees changing colours, I have an intense feeling of sadness. This summer has been hard... Read more...
My Favourite Writing Tools
Well hello there! So I figure if I’m going to write about planning, and all the things I love about planning, I should probably include what I write with. This has been a constant evolving process for me over many years. That should always be the case with anyone (if you’re a writer - by that, you’ll understand if you are one). Experimentation is key until you find a selection of tools used for writing that are your absolute favourite and ones you can’t live without. So first of all,... Read more...
Spring 2023 Favorites
Hi friends! Well, it’s that time of year once again; funny how that works! I’m here today to talk about some of my favourite products and things that I’ve been loving since the cold winter months have now passed us. Who am I kidding? It can still get super cold here in April! SKIN CARE: My favourite current moisturizer is called Pharmacy Honey Halo Ceramide Moisturizer. I re-purcahsed it again this year during the Sephora savings event. If you can get over the smell of honey, it is amazing for... Read more...
My Favorite TV Shows of 2022
Hello and welcome back to my blog! First off, let me begin by saying that I am not a movie or tv. show critic. I read a lot more than I watch tv, so the fact that I remember what I watched in 2022 is a blatant miracle. I have spots in my bullet journal and my Cultivate What Matters Goal Planner to record what I watched, read or listened to each month, and I’m lucky if I remember to write them down. My very first favourite was Love Island,... Read more...
Winter 2022/2023 Favorite Things & Activities
I hope everyone is staying warm and safe this winter! Let’s talk about some things that make me feel good. Maybe these are some of your favorites as well! 1. My current book. Unfortunately, I can’t name a specific title, as I read many books every month. I do have my favourites of course, but the most current series I’m working on is by Chandelle LeVaun, called the Coven (There are series within this series, as well as many books in each of them). There’s always something to staying in... Read more...
My Current Fall 2022 Favourites
Hello friends, welcome back to the blog! This week, I want to share some of the things that I’ve been loving lately. I like to do one of these at least once a season, as the things and products I use and love change all the time. Looking back, I realize I haven’t shared these since last December! I also would like to create a video about these for my YouTube channel, and that’s something I’ll be looking at doing consistently in the new year. One of the things I’ve... Read more...
Favorite Things During the Holidays
Happy Holidays! I hope you all had (and are still having) some relaxing time at home with your loved ones. I thought I would take some time to let you in on some of the things that I absolutely loved around this time of year. I never had the chance to last year, and there are so many things that I love to do during the holidays. So here we go! Christmas Shopping! Going to the mall and seeing all of the lights, and the decoration is just so thrilling... Read more...
Favorite Things: Fall 2021 Edition
Welcome back my friends! Since I usually try and post one of these videos every season, here we go. The only problem is, if I ever express negativity, it is especially at this time of year. Ironically, I’m writing this on September 22, 2021, the first day of Autumn. As you may know, fall is NOT my favorite time of year. I’m so confused as to why a lot of people like it. To me, it smells of death and cold. (Depressing, I know; maybe that’s my Seasonal Affective Disorder... Read more...
My Summer Fave’s
Hey guys! Welcome back to this summer edition of my favorite things. I wanted to share some of the things I enjoy in summer - whether it’s things I like to eat, do, or places I like to go. This year, I have been inside a lot for a number of reasons. 1. I have a small daughter and she can’t be out in the sunshine too long when it’s really hot, even with sunscreen. 2. I have my biz that I need to work on. I am trying to... Read more...
Fiction Books That Have Changed My Life
Hey friends! Welcome back! Today, we’re going to talk books. Specifically, a handful of fiction books that have made a momentous change in my life. Honestly, since I’ve read them, I can’t even tell you HOW they’ve changed me; just that they have. I would not be the same person I am today if I hadn't read them. The first series has been around for a VERY long time (Started in 1980) - the Earth Children Series, by Jean M. Auel. Most people will recognize it when I say ‘The... Read more...
My Favorite Youtubers
Hey guys! Welcome back! This is going to be an interesting post for sure. Not only have I never discussed what kind of content I watch on Youtube, but I think it really gives you insight into who a person is. It’s similar to my “Current Favorite Things” blog, in that it reflects what my current interests are. The other thing is that I watch Youtube videos for a variety of reasons. The obvious, entertainment, but sometimes also to relax and of course, to learn. Entering a search query into... Read more...
My Current Favorite’s List
Hi everyone, and welcome! I am excited for this piece because it is something I sometimes do on youtube and I wanted to bring it to the world of the written word for a change. It’s not often you see something like this and I think it’s fun to know what other people like. (Isn’t that why we watch Youtube videos and Influencers? If it works for them, it must work for us, so it makes us want to go out and buy it too). However, I do not intend... Read more...
