When people see my nails, they always ask me two questions: Are they real? How come they don’t break all the time? Since I was six or seven, I had an uncanny interest in my mom’s nail polish. By the time I was 11, I wanted beautiful long nails, and I knew how to take …
Something I want to work on this year is doing more things that are fun. I’m usually all work and no play, and I’m burned out more often than not. Here are some of the things that are helping me step away from work and life and just relax. Schitt’s Creek Colouring book I got …
Although I had more time to read this year, I didn’t. I used to read during my commute, so it took me a while to find a spot for reading during my day. I still managed to get through 24 books, and these were my favourites. A Promised Land – Barack Obama I loved Becoming …
I completely changed my diet a few years ago, and I lost a lot of weight just by eating right. Unfortunately, I had a few health issues for the past two years, and I ended up gaining a lot of weight. To make things worst, during the last months of 2020, I went all out. …

As I have stated in previous posts, I love ice cream. Sadly, as many delicious things, ice cream is full of sugar and in many cases, trans fat. That’s why I gave up on ice cream long before I even considered giving up on sugar. I don’t even remember how long I stayed without eating …
My diet can be described as specific and random at the same time. If you read any of my other posts, you know by now that I love to eat and that I like variety. Yet, I naturally tend to put on weight, so through trial and error, I have come with a list of …
Even when I didn’t have any dietary restriction, beef was never a favorite. However, here and I would always have a burger. For the past four months, however, I’ve been trying the whole vegan/vegetarian thing, and sometimes I miss food that is a bit more hearty. If you read any of my other posts, you …
