COVID has kept most of us confined to our homes for nearly a year now, and indoor plant sales have soared as a result.

Luckily though, many aren’t, and it’s just a matter of doing your research and knowing which ones to steer clear of. Here are six pet-friendly plants that are safe for everyone in your house to be around!

Pixar’s latest animated movie, Soul, has been out for barely more than a week now, and I’ve already seen it twice. It’s exactly the kind of movie we need right now, and possibly the most enjoyable allegory I’ve ever seen. Here’s why I think it’s exactly the movie we need as we kick off 2021.

2020 has been rough year, to grossly underplay things. Despite that though, I was able to achieve many of the goals I had set for myself at the start of the year.

So what’s on the list for 2021?

If you can believe it, the game has been around since 1974 (yeah, it’s almost 50 years old now). There’s a reason it’s survived this long – the game is a ton of fun. So what is it, and why should you try it out?

Over the years, I’ve racked up quite a number of inspiring quotes from a ton of different times and places. Today, I thought it’d be fun to start a new series that documents these quotes, and why I like them so much. Here are 5 of my all-time favourites!

Moving to your first detached home is exciting. It’s adulting at its finest, and for some, a symbol that you’ve truly “arrived.” But moving into a detached home isn’t as easy as packing your stuff into a U-Haul and hitting the road; oh no. You’re adulting now, and you’ve got some other steps to take in order to make sure your new home is ready for you to move in.
