I am not a huge ginger person, but I LOVE these pumpkin ginger sandwich cookies! They’re the epitome of fall. Chewy ginger, earthy clove and warming cinnamon spiced cookies combine with a luscious pumpkin cream cheese filling to yield the ultimate cozy fall treat. There’s even a little white chocolate drizzle to top them all […]
I just recovered from the worst cold I have ever had. It took me out for a full week and made me forget what it felt like to be a healthy, functioning human being. I’m sure it’s happened to you too, and when it does, it’s the worst! Enter this DIY Turmeric Ginger Cold Tonic. […]
I’ve been doing dried flower Christmas trees for about 4 years now. This year, I knew that I wanted to step it up a notch. I grew up with our Christmas tree always having a garland, so it’s funny that I’ve never thought to do a garland on my tree. But sometimes, you just need […]
After about 13 years of owning a memory foam purple laptop sleeve, it was time for me to make a new one. I didn’t want to buy just any laptop sleeve and had started to lean towards getting a new leather one. However, the idea for a new one in leather really started to take […]
Every few years I feel the need to redo my bedroom. This year, I did something pretty radical (for me anyway). I got rid of 4 whole throw pillows. For someone who used to take pride in having about 18 throw pillows on her bed, this was quite the change. I’d been sitting at about […]
One of the scariest things I’ve ever done in life is up and quitting my job without having another job lined up. I did it once when I was 24 and started my blog. Then I did it once when I was 30, not 3 months ago. After I quit that job I got very […]
I remember seeing woven baskets at my Nonnie and Great Aunt’s house when I was younger. Never did I think that they would end up being a trendy part of decor. I also never thought that I would be the kind of person to have a basket wall, but they’ve grown on me in the […]
Moving to Calgary, Alberta has been a whirlwind experience. I’ve gotten and quit a job, I’ve reunited with my best friends, hiked several mountains, and have completely redecorated another apartment. If you’ve been following along for a while you may be familiar with some of the past projects in my apartment. You may also know […]
I’ve been an avid meal planner for quite a long time now. I try to eat fairly well and cook all of my meals at home. I’ve been working from home lately, so it’s been easier to have time to cook. Occasionally though, I don’t feel like cooking. It’s usually a Saturday night and I’ve […]
I’m super excited to share this DIY gemstone mirror tutorial with you today because this is one of my favourite DIY projects ever! I actually did this project a long time ago, so it’s been with me through four different apartments. Four different apartments means that I’m excited to share four slightly different styling options […]
Chewy, chocolatey, almondy, coconuty, peanut buttery, sweet perfection is what these granola bars should be called. However, some of those words are made up, and that is also a ridiculously long name for such a tiny bar. But, it’s so true! I made these granola bars to take to work for breakfast and they instantly […]
Historically speaking, I am not a wreath person. I feel like growing up wreaths always looked tacky or fake, so I never really thought to include them in my Christmas decor. Then, a couple years ago, some cool things started happening with wreaths. A lot of modern flower shops came along and they started doing […]
I ate a lot of food in pastry school. Like, a LOT. I basically gained the freshman 15 all over again when I started pastry school. There was such a large volume of everything that we baked. Plus, it was all freaking delicious so it was really hard not to eat it all. Being around […]
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this DIY TV Stand Makeover is the biggest transformation of any DIY project I’ve done. I still can’t believe how horrible the before was compared with how great the after looks! For this project, I really tried to push myself to learn new […]
If you read my previous post on this Brown Butter & Black Pepper popcorn, then you know how much I regularly enjoy eating popcorn for dinner. I try to eat fairly well, but sometimes I’m super tired on a Friday after a long day of work and it’s much more appealing to me to make […]
I’m shooting a video for my apartment on Monday and I get to talk about all the renovations that I did in my apartment (on a budget) as well as all the DIY projects I’ve done to make my space unique. That of course led me to try to pick a favourite DIY. Is it […]
Every few months or so, I feel the need to purge all of my belongings and get rid of things that I no longer use. I also tend to get rid of clothes that just aren’t working for me anymore or that no longer fit my style. It feels like it’s easier to do with […]
I saw a dried flower Christmas tree on Pinterest about a month ago and immediately fell in love. It wasn’t bright and flashy, but was natural and organic and had such a pretty nostalgic quality to it from the dried flowers. I knew that’s what I wanted to do for my tree this year so […]
