I love fall. I love the temperature outside, the changing colours, and the foods and flavours that it brings with it (pumpkin for the win).  It hasn’t really felt like it in my neck of the woods, but fall really is just around the corner. I always like to put out a few fall decorations and touches around the house to welcome the season. To that end, here are some of my favourite fall décor ideas I’ve seen so far.

With 69% of eligible Ontarians having received at least one dose of vaccine, and over 50% fully vaccinated, we’re seeing the lowest daily case counts since September of last year. Optimism is beginning to return, and with that, our minds turn to a view of life that looks something a little more like the normal we once knew. Here are 7 things I’m looking forward to in a post-Covid world.

A month ago I wrote a post about outdoor entertaining items that were going to be hard to find. That list proved prescient, and there are a few items that I would add to the list since then. The shortages make perfect sense – with the pandemic still not under control, those lucky enough to have backyards are looking to transform them into their very own oasis. If that describes you, but you’re not sure where to start, here are 5 ways you can transform your backyard into that paradise you’ve been dreaming about.

With sites like Upwork and TaskRabbit existing these days, you can outsource just about any skill you want to. There’s a certain pride you get to take in yourself for being able to perform the skill yourself though; not to mention the fact that many skills can either save you tons of money or even safe a life. With that in mind, here are 10 skills that, in my opinion, everyone should possess themselves.

Meditation offers a number of benefits that we need now more than ever: it can help us become more mindful and aware in the moment; it helps reduce stress and anxiety; it improves blood flow to the brain and makes it age more slowly; it can help improve your relationships with the people around you; and it can even help you sleep more soundly. For me, I know that I feel calmer after even a few minutes of meditation, and my brain no longer tries to run a mile a minute while I’m sitting still. That by itself makes the process worth it for me. If you’re interested in trying out meditation, here are a few tips to help you get started.

Hey folks. I’m writing this post today partly because, in all honesty, it’s been a week, and I need this exercise to help wind it down. I’m also writing it for you though, in you’re having a rough go and need a reminder that we can find joy in the little things. Maybe you read this list and feel better, or maybe you’re inspired to write your own list – either way, it’s good stuff. So without further ado, here are 50 small wins that make me happy.

The COVID pandemic has brought upon a number of unexpected purchasing trends, from a mad dash to buy toilet paper, to a shortage of exercise equipment, to outdoor patio heating. This spring and summer, with many of us still stuck at home, outdoor entertaining is going to be, by far, the most popular way we socialize. With that, there are going to be some purchases you may want to make now, ahead of the rush. Here are 5 items that you’re going to have a hard time finding before long.

With spring right around the corner, our minds tend to start to shift toward thoughts of greenery and the outdoors. For me, I’ve also been jumping the gun on that a bit by visiting my local greenhouse and bringing some plants home to liven up my indoors. Plants have been shown to improve our quality of life; I recently wrote about 6 pet-friendly houseplants you can bring home, but today I’m going to list off a few of my favourite houseplants for beginners.
