Upgrading my Pajamas

I had been looking to upgrade my pajama situation for a while now. My go-to uniform has always been my decade old high-school t-shirt and my husbands pajama bottoms. I…

    How I Learned to Love Running

    Spencer Candy / March 28, 2020 / 1 Comment

    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…

    For Your Sunday Morning Coffee Scrolling…

    Spencer Candy / March 22, 2020 / No Comments

    Here is what I have been enjoying watching/reading this week while sipping (ok chugging) my coffee. I have found that reading these articles has added some much needed normalcy with all the COVID updates and news. I hope these links brighten your day like they did mine! Have you seen this video where JoJo remixes “Leave (Get Out)” to “Chill…

    Day-to-Day: Emma Sawatzky

    Spencer Candy / March 19, 2020 / 1 Comment

    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. It is so nice to use the power of the web to feel more connected to a group of women and create a sense of community. I love getting a better…

    Yoga With Adriene Has Your Back

    Spencer Candy / March 16, 2020 / No Comments

    How is everyone feeling? With all that is going on with the COVID-19 outbreak, I wanted to share one of my favourite at home stress relievers – Yoga with Adriene videos on YouTube. Adriene’s videos have seen me through some tough times. When I was stressed studying for my licensing exams, I would go to the library all day, come…

    Wedding Traditions We Skipped with Zero Regrets

    Spencer Candy / March 12, 2020 / 4 Comments

    When I was planning our wedding, I felt like two phrases carried a lot of weight. I can’t tell you how many times I read or heard “well you wouldn’t want to regret not having it or doing it” or “it’s only one day, might as well go all out”. I was really worried that in making our low-key relaxed…

    Plants Even I Can’t Kill

    Spencer Candy / March 5, 2020 / 2 Comments

    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

    Spencer Candy / February 27, 2020 / No Comments

    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 –…
