If I Had $5000...

Does anyone remember the show What Not to Wear? With Clinton Kelly and Stacy London. I was obsessed with it growing up! Recently I was playing 20 questions with someone and they asked me what stores I would go to if I had $1 000 (of course I answered Old Navy, Gap, J. Crew, Anthropologie and J. Crew). This inspired me to do this post. I created a winter version of this post, but decided to do a spring version! P.S. I wrote this post on March 28th/29th/30th and am going off the prices on those dates! Gap Short Sleeve Flutter Top (in snow) Short Sleeve Flutter Top (in rosette) Softspun Slub Ruffle Sleeve Top (in white) Short Sleeve Popover Shirt (in dark night) Ruffle Sleeve...

Try-On Thursday: Old Navy

I’m constantly trying to think of a theme for every Monday, every Thursday, etc. Right now, I have links and loves on Mondays and book reviews on Sundays. I’m thinking that try-on Thursdays would be a great addition, too. This week I thought I would start with Old Navy – there’s so many cute things there this season! I didn’t purchase anything in hopes I could get some opinions from my readers. As I’ve previously mentioned, I have gained some weight so I need to make some purchases of things that fit. P.S. I think this is the first time that I haven’t straightened my hair for a blog post. So welcome to the natural frizzy wavy mess I call my hair! I’ve been wearing it natural lately,...

The Best Gluten Free Food (available on Amazon!)

one // two // three // four // five // six // seven // eight // nine // ten / I posted a picture of the KIND bars on Instagram raving about their deliciousness. I got a few DMs asking for gluten free food recommendations. Here I am, writing a post on some great gluten free finds on Amazon. KIND Healthy Grains Granola Bars – I posted these on Instagram yesterday. They’re heaven in a mouthful. As someone who doesn’t love overly crunchy granola bars, these are absolutely perfect. Plus they’re peanut butter and dark chocolate AND super affordable compared to some gluten free foods. KIND Health Grains Clusters – One of my favourite breakfast or midday snack options! These taste delicious...

Madewell Must Haves

Between working lots and having some serious writer’s block, I haven’t been able to attend to the blog as much as I would have liked to the past week. I’m sitting here trying to decide on some series I could start to make myself blog more, but again, my mind is blanking. I decided to quickly throw together this Madewell Must Have posts because I have been obsessing over their must haves! Maybe tomorrow I’ll do another store’s must haves for spring 2018! Let me know in the comments what you think and some store suggestion...

Gorgeous Spring Picks for Under $100!

If I’m being 100% honest, I’m not super big on accessories. I love scarves and watches, but that’s about it. My goal for spring and summer 2018 is to love accessories a bit more. Today I thought I would share some accessories that I do really like, for $100 and under to...

Happy Monday! I was actually supposed to be off today but for some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to pick up an extra shift on my day off. It’s only six hours though and it’s 2-8 pm so it’s not that bad. I love the idea of “coffee conversations” for links and loves – aka a post you sit down to read with your morning coffee. Hence why I quite often use a picture of coffee on them. Yesterday was Mater’s 6th “gotcha day” aka the day that we picked him up. To celebrate, I thought I would share a quick collage I made of him over the years: He’s growing up so fast but is still such a puppy at heart, his energy is out of control. He just loves his “Lolly and Moosie” more than...

Pinterest Picks: Home Decor

About a week ago, I shared my Pinterest Picks: Spring 2018 post and I loved doing it. I loved Pinterest for so long then kind of stopped using it for a bit. I definitely need to get back into pinning things and being active because I love it. I’m actually writing this post in advanced. I called in sick to work so I thought I would sit around and write posts. I had an emotionally draining confrontation with a resident yesterday so I decided to stay home and focus on my mental health today before going back to work. I started feeling myself burning out and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to give the residents 100%. I’m honestly kind of glad that I am aware enough to know when I am burning...

Three Delicious Cauliflower Recipes

I have such a strange addiction to cauliflower lately – don’t ask me why! I have like five cauliflower heads in my fridge and they all have a purpose. I have been eating ketogenic lately (with bananas as a treat because y’know… bananas are delicious). I can’t even explain how much better I have been feeling mentally and physically eating both ketogenic and meat-free. It is hard though, I will admit to find recipes that are compliant to both and there’s many nights I find myself eating pre-made cauliflower mash, steamed mixed vegetables and asparagus for supper. Mind you, it’s all delicious still. Today I decided to share my three favourite ketogenic cauliflower recipes – cauliflower...

March 2018 Wish List

Ah, March is here. That means spring is on its way! I am way too excited for spring. It means it’s finally time for cute dresses and sneakers; you can finally put away the huge sweaters and heavy coats. I find it hard as a Canadian sometimes to actually put the stuff away though, because I’ve seen snow in May before. However, it’s nice to dream about warmer weather. In other news, March 1st marks the eighth anniversary since I found out that I was having my fourth open heart surgery. I can’t believe that it’s been eight years already, it just feels like yesterday. It’s amazing how much time truly flies. Now, getting back to the post! I love writing wish lists, I swear they’re about...
