25 Quotes I Love

I used to live for quotes. Honestly, I was that girl on Xanga when I was fourteen/fifteen with hundreds of quotes saved. I’m always the first to reblog a quote on Tumblr. I just find that quotes describe how you’re feeling without having to put it into your words yourself. Therefore, I thought I would share some that I’ve stumbled upon lately that I love. Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don’t give a damn what anyone thinks. – Grey’s Anatomy Sometimes you’re 25 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking...

Gift Guide: for the bestie

I was sitting obnoxiously texting my best friend, Sam, links of my gift guides so far. Her response: “you should totally make a best friend gift guide”. So here I am, creating a best friend gift guide. This one’s for you, Sam. “You’re the Monica to my Rachel” Mug Set 1. How cute are these mugs?! 2. It’s ironic that you’re getting your best friend a mug that’s literally from the show Friends. Perfect gift! If they don’t love Friends (which may mean they’re mildly insane), this “You’re the Lorelai to my Sookie” mug is adorable too. If they don’t like Friends or Gilmore Girls… sorry, but it’s time to get a new best friend. “You’re My Person” Customizable Wall Art Sorry… another pop...

I went to the Kawartha Bakery on the weekend. I must say, I was extremely impressed with their gluten free products, and the price list as well. I have honestly probably gained about 10 pounds eating lemon meringue pies.   I love finding a good Etsy shop. I actually wrote tomorrow’s blog post before I wrote today’s. I found a sweet little beauty shop, Wilderness Soap Co. They’re based out of Collingwood, Ontario. There’s so many great products including soaps, bath scrubs, soaks, face creams and body butters. I bought this candle on Saturday night. It smells amazing and it was 30% off because of Black Friday sales. Unfortunately, it is sold out online. With the cold weather...

Gift Guide: For the Mom(s)

Honestly, out of all the people I shop for my mom is my favourite person hands down. I just feel like Christmas to her is super special, so she pretends to love it even if she hates. I definitely think Christmas is the perfect time to give her something to relax with. I decided to share some of the greatest relaxing gifts today that you can give your mom – from wine glasses to eye creams to slippers. Who wouldn’t love all of that? Ribbed Midi Cardigan Because mom’s deserve to relax and why not let her relax with a nice, big cardigan. Don’t worry though – it doesn’t look like the ones she always complains about looking too oversized. Sueded Sherpa-Lined Moccasin Slippers These slippers...

50 Gluten-Free Christmas Treats

I had a mom gift guide 90% done, then I went away for the night and left it sitting on my desktop without finishing it. I’m sitting here on my laptop now and I don’t have photoshop and have yet to connect my PC to Cloud, so I’m here with nothing. I’m staying at the guy who I’m dating’s house right now. I remembered that I forgot my 2 litre bottle of Diet Pepsi at home and had a pop craving. So at 9:30 last night we went to Wal-Mart. It worked out because there were still tons of Black Friday deals, but it was dead. There were so many things I wanted to buy, but couldn’t think where I would use them at my house or who I could gift them for. They a Keurig for $47, regular $98. They also had...

Beauty Gifts Under $25 From Sephora!

With Christmas coming up, and Black Friday tomorrow, there are so many gifts to be bought! To me, Sephora is always a great place to spend money on some great, high quality gifts. However, I can’t justify spending $102 on an eye shadow palette, no matter how much I love the person. Therefore, today, I decided to share some great options that are $25 or less! Too Faced Better Than Sex Ornament How cute is this! It may just be a mini, but it is so cute you can’t say no. I love little gifts like this to throw on the outside of a box. It doubles as a gift tag, so it’s great if you still have a bit of money remaining in your budget for someone. Colourpop Take Me Home...

Links and Loves

Wow! It’s been a while. The last post that I actually published was in April. After many months of not blogging, I have decided to come back because I realized how much I truly missed it. In October, I adopted a second cat, Oliver. He’s a little Russian Blue, who I’m convinced is a munchkin cat. His legs haven’t grown since he came home! The other morning he was sitting in the Christmas tree (sorry mom) and I couldn’t help but pull out my phone to take a few pictures of him while he was in it. Today, I decided to do one of my all-time favourite types of posts – Links and Loves. It’s been so long that I just wanted to create a pile of different things I’m loving. Now onto the fun...
