My Favourite Fall Lipsticks

October 15, 2020

I’ve always been someone who loves a bold lip, especially during the Fall or Winter months, so I thought I would take some time to do a short round-up post of some of my favourite lippies for Fall!

I know what you’re probably thinking,“Kait, why are you posting about your favourite fall lipsticks when we have to wear masks or face coverings?”, but hear me out.

For the most part, I’ve traded in my typical make-up routine for a much simpler one since converting to Working From Home but one thing I still love to use is lip products and mascara.

Why you ask?

Easy DIY pumpkin cup-sleeve for fall

October 12, 2020

I mentioned in my last post that due to the pandemic and staying home more, I’ve been trying new recipes more frequently in my free time as a way to have some fun on the weekends. I’ve also been crafting a whole lot more with my Cricut’s as well!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – fall is one of my favourite times of the year! I also love anything that is holiday themed, (regardless of the holiday). A while ago I picked up an assortment of blank cup-sleeves to customize using my Cricut, including some for holiday-specific designs.

The blank orange sleeve was screaming fall at me, so I had to put a cute little pumpkin on it!

Recipe: Gluten free pumpkin pecan oat muffins

October 9, 2020

One of my favourite things about fall is pumpkin everything! From roasted pumpkin, toasted pumpkin seeds, PSLs, pumpkin baked goods – I love it all.

With staying at home due to the pandemic, but I’ve been trying to make the best of the situation and find new ways to keep myself busy and have some fun on the weekends. One way I’ve been doing that is by trying a new recipe every few weeks which has been really fun. Naturally, as soon as the cooler weather hit I started creating more things that involved pumpkin.

Fall home decor – easy DIY pumpkin pillow with Cricut Infusible Ink

September 30, 2020

Happy October, everyone! Part of me can’t believe it’s fall already (I think I’m mentally still stuck in March), but I’m not complaining – autumn is my favourite time of the year. One of my favourite things about the season is all of the decorations. Every year I spend way too much money on pumpkins to decorate both outside and indoors. I’ve always said that one day I’ll have plates for every seasonal occasion.

One thing my bedroom was missing was a fall themed pillow. Since Cricut recently came out with pillows as another option for Infusible Ink Cricut Blanks, I decided to pick up a bunch and make a variety of holiday themed pillows.

Holy grail beauty products – Tatcha’s Water Cream review

August 26, 2020

It’s not every day that I write a blog post dedicated completely to one beauty product, but here we are! I usually like to do a list of my fav products or a round-up post of ones that I’m loving lately, but I love Tatcha’s Water Cream so much that it deserved a post all to itself.

Seriously – I love this product.

5 sheet masks that I’m loving lately

August 9, 2020

Hello, my name is Kait and I have an addiction to sheet masks. At any given time, you can find my bathroom cupboard stocked with 10-20 sheet masks – no joke.

Over the years I’ve tried so many different brands and types of sheet masks that I thought I would do some round-up posts with some of my all-time favourite sheet masks along with a mini review and why I love them.

5 Reasons why I love Cricut Access

April 15, 2020

With everything that has been going on, I’ve kind of been avoiding social media in my downtime. Instead, I’ve been playing video games, drawing and crafting a whole lot more.

One of my favourite things about crafting with my Cricut machines aside from all the materials you can use is the Cricut Access subscription, which is what I’m going to focus on for today’s post!

What is Cricut Access?

Okay, let’s start with the basics. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Cricut Access is a subscription-based service through Design Space that gives you access to thousands of resources and Ready-to-Make projects.

Now that we have that out of the way, I’m going to dive into 5 reasons why I love using Cricut Access.
