Soda Bread Success
Being the child of immigrants (or an Indigenous person, I’m learning) is being slightly disconnected from your birth culture. There are so many things that I can’t connect to that people who were raised in their country just get. Recipes, however, travel well, and provide such a feeling of home and connection with your culture.…

Top 10 Favourite Podcasts
I love podcasts, they are my favourite thing to listen to while I work, walk, grocery shop, clean, everything. Because I listen to them so much, I have listened to a lot of different shows. These are in no particular order, because I don’t think I can rank them because they fuel different interests and…

Saturday Scroll: US Open, Beyoncé, star-crossed, and the Met Gala
I got to do in-person work yesterday! It was thrilling, I’m also exhausted. The most tired I have been in ages.

August Empties
I was actually pretty surprised when I opened my empties shoe box and saw how little there was. This is probably a product of my no-buy month, but I felt like I used a lot up this month and I definitely need to do a skincare order/shop very soon. I’m going to get more into…

Saturday Scroll: September 4
I am so glad we have a long weekend! I have literally nothing planned and now that my August no-buy is over, I have a couple bottles of wine and time for several long walks. I am kind of sad that is already way too cold to go to the beach up here but it…

Friday Favorites
Do you ever have one of those weeks where by Thursday you have nothing left to give? But there’s still two work days left? Well I’m very glad that it is a long weekend this weekend and that I haven’t planned anything (partly because I thought I was going to Wunnumin Lake First Nation to…

What I Read in August
I read a lot in August. Really I read a lot this past weekend, there is something about fantasy YA books that I just rip through. I also had a stack of new books thanks to my birthday splurge that was very stimulating. Let’s get into the books: The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles…
