How I Learned to Love Running
Running is definitely my favourite form of exercise, but it hasn’t always been this way… I used to dread going for runs. I am not a naturally good runner; I am neither fast nor good at long distances. But it is by far the most accessible form of exercise. You can do it anywhere, in any city, and there is…

Day-to-Day: Emma Sawatzky
Day-to-Day is a series of interviews with women that I admire. I have found at this stage of life, friends are scattered around the province, country, and the world.

Plants Even I Can’t Kill
There once was a fiddle-leaf fig tree in my house… it is no longer. After bringing it home from Ikea, its leaves were one by one turning brown and falling off. I read somewhere that they like humidity, so in an attempt to revive it, I took it into the bathroom while I showered. When I put it back in…

The Platter Salad
When hosting the fam or friends for dinner, I always break out this salad. For some reason, making a well thought-out salad on a platter instead of a bowl makes it look so much more special! You can definitely apply the platter idea to any salad of your choosing. We’ve done caesar, california steak, and caprese as platter salads –…

Work Pants that Won’t Cause a Morning Meltdown

She had just started dating (her now fiancé) Chris earlier that year. She had a small apartment with 1 double…
