It’s Already Fucking Winter
It snowed on Thursday. IT SNOWED ON THURSDAY. It’s October AND IT SNOWED ON THURSDAY! I am trying to be accepting. This is a thing that occurs in Canada, especially in Northern Ontario. This is the land of snowsuits under Halloween costumes. But every year that I have lived here it hasn’t snowed until about…

December in Review
This may have been my busiest December ever. In university I always assumed that after uni December would be a nice relaxing month, because you wouldn’t have exams anymore that you needed to be studying for on top of Christmas prep. That was an incorrect assumption. I was home for 6 days this month between…

Halloween Movie Marathon
Halloween movies are some of my favourite movies, they are so campy and ridiculous and they dip their toe into horror movie tropes without being scary, which I cannot handle. They are just so fun and are the perfect start to cozy season. The caveat to my list is of course, that there are no…

Friday Favorites: A Week to Rest
This is going to be a weird one, not following my normal format of Favorite Instagram, TV/Movie, Podcast, etc. because I haven’t been consuming nearly as much digital media this week. I read 5 books, hung out with my family, threw up watching the new Spiderman movie (sorry to everyone in the 2:40 showing at…

Northern Diaries: Plans for Christmas and New Years in Southern Ontario
I am so excited to be heading home and to bop around Southern Ontario for 17 days (well four of those will be driving to and from Southern Ontario). I am a bit worried that Ms. Omicron will ruin this for me, but I am keeping my vaccinated fingers and toes crossed in hope. I…

Realistic Thanksgiving Menu: Single & Solo
Well everyone, it’s the end of September, time to wake up. In Canada, Thanksgiving is in October (oh and we did it first, do I want to do a history lesson here? Yeah let’s do it.) First Nations across Turtle Island held thanks giving celebrations for time immemorial to celebrate harvests and hunts. It actually…
