Getting Cozy for the Holidays with Orville Redenbacher’s

Can you believe that Christmas is just a few days away?! It honestly just feels like I was getting ready for fall just a few days ago! I think I have just been so busy this season that I have had hardly any time to just enjoy the Holiday season.

So this weekend, I forced myself to take some much needed time-out, shut off my email and relax and get in the Holiday Spirit, and Orville Redenbacher’s helped me out with that.

There’s just something about popcorn, PJs, a movie marathon and blankets on a cold winter’s night that is just so comforting. I really love those terrible made-for-TV Christmas movies. I mean, they are just so bad that they’re good! It’s kind of  a family tradition in my house to watch as many of them as we can with popcorn in hand during December.

Recipe: Candy Cane Pancakes (gluten-free)

‘Tis the season for Candy Cane everything! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m in full Holiday mode, thanks to all those delightfully terrible made-for-TV Christmas movies. (I know, I know, super corny. But they are so bad they are good!) We had our very first snowfall today too!

As a result, all I want to do is wrap presents, stay in my onesie and work by our Christmas tree. I’m also craving everything chocolate-y and peppermint. So naturally, I started baking!

Refreshing and Cooling Smoothie, Perfect for Summer!

I’ll be honest – I’ve never been one to eat enough fruits and (especially) vegetables in a day, so I love smoothies for this reason. Smoothies are such a great way to incorporate some more fruit and veggies into your diet, without it feeling like a chore.

My rule of thumb when I’m making mixed smoothies is that you should be using more vegetables than fruit. I like to use just plain water in my smoothies too so that it doesn’t get too sugary, (I’m not a fan of coconut water personally), but I’ll still put int a little bit of juice for taste.

  • #RealTalk: I’m reposting my Easter photo from last year because I don’t have a new one and I wanted to wish you all a #HappyEaster 😂💖💐🐣. My diet this weekend has also mostly consisted of mini eggs, so it’s still an accurate representation of my Easter weekend 🤷‍♀️.
  • [#ad] I hate to admit it, but I can be picky about certain brands and products. Toilet paper is one of those things. It’s something I’m not willing to compromise on when it comes to quality, even if that means spending more $$. (Utility 1-ply? No thank you!! 🙅‍♀️) . @charmin’s Ultra Soft Mega Rolls are soft as heck and 2x more absorbent so you can #EnjoyTheGo 🙌🧻. It’s worth it, and so is your tush! Lucky for you, there are some coupons on their website so you can save! // Link in bio → https://charmincanada.mvk.co/1ecbc #CharminUltraSoft
  • Guys, @communityboxes is kind of amazing. They help empower people in our local communities who are overcoming challenges like addiction or abuse, through entrepreneurship. Each month, their boxes have a different theme – it could be anything from a holiday, a product category or a topic they want to encourage conversations around. This months theme is homelessness. My tote bag was designed by Hawke, from Kitchener, ON. You can read his personal story on their website (link in bio) and they also just launched a #giveaway on their Instagram! #SupportLocal // Link in bio → https://www.communitycompany.org #CommunityTotes #CommunityCompany
