Wear your heart on your sleeve: easy 3-step DIY elbow patch sweater

February 3, 2019

Can you believe it’s already February? Time sure does fly! As much as I hate wither (which we’ve established many times already), I love February for two reasons: it’s my birthday month (yay!) and Valentine’s Day.

If you know me, you might be laughing at the last reason because to be completely honest I am not a very romantic person and we don’t really do too much for Valentines. So you’re probably wondering why I love it now, right? Well, it’s because of everything pink, red and all of the cute shapes like hearts and the delicious candy. (Side note: Conversation hearts are my favourite and if you follow me on Twitter you’ll know I’m absolutely beside myself that there aren’t any this year.) I’ve also always thought of Valentine’s as a day to celebrate everyone who you love; not just your partner, but your friends, family and pets too.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day (or Galentine’s), I’m back with another super simple 3-step DIY that I did using my Cricut Maker – a heart elbow patch sweater!

Cozy winter style: it’s toque season!

January 15, 2019

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I’m the worst Canadian. I absolutely hate winter and the cold. Which is kinda a problem because being a Canadian our longest season is well… winter. And it can get pretty gosh darn cold in Ontario. (It’s -30°C this week with the windchill and it’s only the start of January!)

I’m someone who gets cold easily to begin with, so when you add winter to the mix I’m downright miserable… and so is everyone around me who has to listen to me whine about it ;). If it was up to me, it would be fall and spring all year long. (Anyone know a place where the weather is like that? SOS.)

I do however love winter fashion for two reasons, and two reasons only: toques and chunky sweaters. I’m all about those cozy vibes!

My favourite Saje Wellness diffuser blends

January 4, 2019

It should come as no surprise that I’m obsessed with Saje. (Exhibit A: “my top 10 favourite Saje Wellness products“.)

One of my absolute favourite product lines of their’s has to be the diffuser blends. It’s amazing how big of a difference a little aromatherapy can make – we actually have 4 diffusers in our house! One in my bedroom, one in each of the two full-bathrooms and one in the kitchen. The best part about Saje’s diffuser oils? When you buy 3 10 ml diffuser blends you get 20% off! I thought I would share some of my top picks.

Round-up: my favourite gluten free holiday recipes and DIYs

December 15, 2018

Can you believe that Christmas is only 10 days away?! How is everyone feeling about the Holiday season?

While I have all of my gift shopping done and the house is decorated for Christmas, I haven’t had much time to do any festive activities. This year it feels like the holidays are just flying by!

If you ask me, I haven’t watched nearly enough Hallmark Christmas movies (they’re so tacky and I love it!), baked enough cookies, or visited enough holiday markets.
