How To Keep Your House Tidy All The Time

The secret here isn’t much of a secret, but it is a mindset. In short summary – stop making your life harder for yourself! Mindset Adjustments Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Changing your mindset around things can be difficult and you can’t change other people but changing the way you handle your household can make a huge impact on how much work you have to do in the home. Setting things down…

Dealing With Sciatic Nerve Pain

Living with pain in the spine is unpleasant at the best of times but managing pain can make it much more bearable. Like most injuries and sore spots on our bodies, there are ways to reduce pain and make it easier to live a normal life. I have been having issues with lower back pain and nerve pinching in my spine since I was a teenager and over the years I have figured out ways that work for me…

Creating Short Term Goals

Short terms goals act as a milestone in your journey to reach the long term goal of your life. They help you gauge how far you have come and how long you still have to travel to reach your ultimate destination.Columbia College Short term goal setting is not just a skill required to achieve small tasks but as a tool and routine used to achieve larger and broader goals. This is something we…

Hello dear, firstly, thank you for clicking on something called “Quarter Life Crisis”, secondly, I can’t believe I’m having one. We used to scoff at the idea of a quarter life crisis but with increasing life spans and stresses in daily life, they are becoming very common. Mine started when I left my fiancé, or perhaps a little before. Since then it has been a series of what feels like meltdowns…

The End of 2020 – A New House, Old Friends and So Much Stress

Ryan and Eva in front of the new house. So 2020 has ended and I’m a month late on this post. To be fair we were buying a house and getting everything figured out over January so I did my best here. But hey, now it’s 2021! We have just moved into a house we bought, we got to celebrate New Years Eve via Discord with our friends and even though we are stressed, it seems like things are taking an…

Hey guys, I know it’s been a while since I have posted anything and that is for good reason. I haven’t had internet in my home for quite some time due to some issues in my building. Things have been happening though!

At the end of September my bought of unemployment came to a ceremonious end when I got a job painting residentially. Thank goodness because my increasing loathing of job…

Intimidating Women

Do people call you scary? Intimidating? Loud?

Then we have something in common. 

I see myself as a sweet lady but other people seem to see me as some tough biker lady who doesn’t spend her days baking and day dreaming of adopting dogs. Externally I understand that I wear mostly black and I stopped…

Reviewing My Hot Sauce Collection

Hey guys, today we are looking into all of the hot sauces I own. I did this based on flavour, not heat measures. I believe that hot sauces are only good if they taste good, and I tried to recommend foods that these sauces can be paired with. Please enjoy and let me know which is your favourite sauce or recommend new sauces to me, because I love sauces and will likely buy them off your…

Book Review : Let That Sh*t Go – Nina P and Kate P.

Initial Reaction

I have just finished the first thirty pages, so I am going to write this before continuing. The structure and tone of the writing is playful, a little vulgar but honest. There is no feeling of “this is a scam” or “this couldn’t possibly work” when they talk about taking control of your observational mind (a recurring message in the book) because I recognize that that is…

The Cardigan, the Shirt and the Splendid Jeans

Hello guys! If you know me you know that I love fashion, but I don’t live by labels or trendy items. As a plus sized woman I don’t often have a lot of selection when purchasing in person and most trendy, lower cost stores don’t carry my size. This makes keeping my wardrobe up to date a rather expensive endeavour. Honestly though, even if I could afford to fill my closet with every new piece, I…

Oh I wish I had known about these way sooner! I don’t think my scalp has ever felt so clean and fresh before. When I get my hair cut professionally they get somewhat close to this feeling. This post is a story about the adventure my scalp and I went on today.

Okay so today I was feeling just like garbage and I realized my mood wasn’t going to get better. I had a hard time deciding to do…

Chicken Burgers and Brioche Buns

Hey guys!

Today is an exciting day as we are covering Brioche buns, Burger Slaw, Chicken Breast and the vegetables and sauces that go with them.

Ryan and I have been trying to be healthier people, which is hard because we love fast food burgers. This will hopefully be a healthier version of one of our favourite cheat meals. That being said, I don’t think any non-fried chicken can replace…

Hey guys! If you guys remember, over a year ago I went from smoking cigarettes to vaping. While yes there is a lot of debate over the health problems caused by both methods, we are talking about quitting today, not which is worse.

You might be thinking, “For your health of course!” and you would be wrong. Not that I don’t care about…

Excellent Youtube Food Channels

Hey guys!

Like most people, I have mentors I have chosen to help lead me in my food journey and today I thought I would share them with you! While I did grow up cooking and learned a lot through the years through reading old cookbooks and a lot of trial and error, these people have taught me skills I wouldn’t have found on my own. More than that, they have made eduction entertaining and they…

Reviewing Bigfat’s Hot Sauces

In this review I am starting with the mildest of the sauces and working my way to the hottest at the bottom. Unfortunately Scoville units aren’t available for all these sauces so I am using their heat scale that is posted on their bottles.
