Well September has not been as crazy of a reading month as I hoped, but I’d say it’s been quality over quantity because I have read some excellent books so far this month! My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella is cute partly romantic comedy about an English country girl, Katie Brenner, who moves […]
I’m back from my adventures/work-and-a-lot-of-time-at-the-computer in California. I spent 5 weeks in Santa Rosa and another week at conferences in Davis. While I was in Santa Rosa my mom came for a visit, and so we went (twice) to what is probably my favourite place in California so far, Bodega Bay. Bodega Bay is a […]
While the second half of August wasn’t nearly as intense reading-wise as the first half (check out part one of my roundup here), I’m still happy with my reading overall! I mean, this is a total of 17 books, which is likely my highest of the year. I am pretty annoyed at myself for how […]
Well, this post is late but it looks like everything featured here from the Urban Decay Nocturnal Collection is still available for sale, so I apologize for the lengthy delay and offer the following excuse: PhD Defense. That said, these are so lovely products and I still wanted to share. If you’re lucky, they might […]
Well, I think it’s safe to say after my June/July reading slump/you know, defending my PhD thesis and moving to California to do fieldwork, I finally got bit by the reading bug again. I actually have to blame readathon vlogs, which I have been loving on YouTube and find super motivating to watch. They definitely […]
Well, that’s been a hectic few months. First, I traveled for a lot of June, then at the end of the month defended my PhD, then in July I headed to California for 6 weeks for work (still here) and I just feel like reading (and blogging, as you can tell by the fact that […]
While I’m off in the US making good use of American Netflix (and you know, doing field work and scientific meetings) I thought I’d do a little follow up to my “3 Shows to Binge-Watch on Netflix”. But seriously, everyone loves Netflix. So here are 3 shows to binge-watch on Canadian Netflix! Broadchurch is an […]
Officially in California now, but before I left I had a wonderful few days at the beach. The cottage we stay in is pretty simple, so there’s no air conditioning, but the most important feature is the fact that it’s right on the water. Still, it can get pretty warm, which is exactly why I […]
Living in a fairly rural area I definitely jump at the opportunity to visit the “big city” (ie: Halifax) and do some shopping. Add in some blogger buddies and a new store opening? Even better. That’s why I was so thrilled to attend blogger opening festivities for the Sport Chek at the Halifax Shopping Centre. […]
As somebody whose life has been super chaotic lately, I’ve become even more appreciative of a great base and a great finish when it comes to my makeup routine. Fortunately, that’s exactly the MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Skin Booster & Microfinishing Pressed Powder in Banana can provide. The extension to the MAKE UP […]
