@arrowitforward recently sent over some goodies for me to try, and I am hooked. 

Their candles and wax melts are made with soy and coconut wax in small batches with premium quality fragrance oils – and that’s it! The candles also use natural cotton wicks.

They all smell sooo good, but pyjama day candle might be my fav of the bunch. It smells like fresh bread. The entire household thought I had baked something when I was burning it. 😅🥖

Self-care looks different for everyone. While it’s so much more than just a relaxing bath, a deep soak is an important part of my process – it helps me disconnect and decompress at the end of each week.

I was #gifted these products to try out, but I think they’ll become a repeat purchase. The blend of stevia, thyme, cedarwood and bergamot essential oils is so relaxing. 

If you want to try out this new scent for yourself, you can find it at @shoppersdrugmart!

Did you know that most Canadians drink more coffee Did you know that most Canadians drink more coffee than any other beverage? I can’t function without a fresh cup in the morning, and I also usually have a cafe latte or a cup of decaf later in the day too, so this came as no surprise to me! ☕️

Unfortunately though, this does add lot of waste to our landfills. @preschoice recently launched sustainable packaging that is estimated to offset hundreds of metric tonnes of waste to our landfills per year – even if you’re not a coffee person, I think that’s something everyone will love! 🙌♻️

What’s your go-to brew?

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here! Every winter after the holidays I like to take a little break from content creation for a few weeks to rest and reset. 

This year’s break was a little longer than I had originally intended, but that’s ok. I was feeling a little overwhelmed and just needed a bit of extra time before diving back in. 💕

I have started to work quietly behind the scenes and am super excited about some things that are in the works for this year! I’m looking forward to creating content for you again, and I have some fun brand collabs and giveaways headed your way. In the meantime, here is an old photo because it’s cute and I’m still editing some of the new content 🙈🙈.

I was recently #gifted this phone case from Caseco. I’ve been using it for a little over a week and am truly impressed with the quality of it 🤩. It’s also eco-friendly and made from recycled material!

(P.S. if you’re in the market for a new phone case they also gave me a code for 15% off! It’s “Kaitlyn15”.)

Recipe: Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes

It’s no secret that I love everything related to fall. (See Exhibit A and Exhibit B here.) Naturally, with it being fall, I am craving pumpkin everything and I’m on a mission to do as many fall things as I can before it’s over.

Pumpkin bread, scones, cake, ice cream, candles, I love it all! And then I thought to myself, what is the one thing I like more than pumpkin? Tea of course, and then it hit me: Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes!!!

I have to admit that I was inspired by one of my favourite teas for this particular recipe… of course I’m referring to DAVIDsTea’s Pumpkin Chai! It is seriously the perfect tea for fall and warming the soul up after a crisp, fall day. I love the mix of sweet pumpkin, cinnamon and chai spices. It’s the perfect balance and drink for fall.

Anyways, I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing me blabber on about fall by now. So, without further ado, let’s get on to the recipe!

Merry Christmas, friends! ❤️🐶 I went back Merry Christmas, friends! ❤️🐶

I went back and forth between getting this sweater from @cavologybrand in the black & tan version to match Ruffi, or the tri version to honour our sweet girl Kodee (which is what I ended up doing!) – she always “helped” with wrapping by sitting on top of the paper whenever you tried to roll it out and loved to nap under the Christmas tree post present opening🎄.
