  • Peeping Tom

    May 5, 2016 / 16 Comments

    This week I realised a Peeping Tom has moved into our apartment and the creepy son of a bitch is moi ….   I have turned into the  ** Mrs Mangel of Toronto and it kind of happened without me really even trying.

    January 6, 2016 / 8 Comments

    It feels like forever since I have done a blog post as the New Year period has all been a little bit of a blur and this hasn’t been due to an alcohol induced coma.

When I paid $2 for this bunch of roses I thought they would be dead within 24 hours. A week later and they are still going strong 👊
This poor kid had to drag me around like an old caboose on skates. He didn’t complain ❤️ Tonya Harding I’m not!!!!#onelapwasenough
I’m standing on a frozen lake next to cars parked on a frozen lake. My 5th winter living here and I’m still, yep, nope 👎 #shittingbricks
2 years in this house and it’s been 2 years of cracked pavlovas. I’ve tried all the tricks so I’m beginning to think it’s the oven 🤔
Who else struggles to cook on a Friday night 🙋🏻‍♀️ I had a hankering for something takeout but living in a small town without Uber Eats couldn’t be asked leaving the house. Smug me prepared this in under 15 minutes earlier today and slow cooked it in the Dutch oven for a few hours. Roasted Shortrib Rendang Curry with Coconut, lime and cilantro gremolata. 💅🏻#homemadetakeout #shortribs #smug
🚨🌳 HELP - Crazy Plant People 🌳🚨 Why has this happened, what did I do wrong and will it come back? 2 x Myrtle topiary purchased at the same time, sitting near each other in the same room so same amount of light and heat. Watered at the same time with the same amount of water. 🤷‍♀️ I’ve had them about 5 months. ????? 🌳🌳🌳#planthelp #myrtletopiary #topiary #topiaryhelp #indoorplanthelp #indoorplants
🐫 Day 😉
Salt and pepper just like my hair. I’ve had a few people ask if I’m still on my grey hair journey and at this very moment, yes! It’s been 6+ months since I’ve coloured and I have so many feels about it. When I made the decision to embrace the grey I think I had a vision in my head of how it would look. It doesn’t. I am bitterly disappointed that I’m not as white as I thought I was or hoped I would be. It’s really white in patches at the front (annoyingly the bits that would show within 2 weeks of getting it coloured) and the rest is salt and pepper. It’s not a pretty salt and pepper or dark with cool silver flecks that look like sparkly thread but a flat and totally blah shade of double blah with a side of blah. The natural colour mixed with the coloured hair on the ends looks vile. The natural hair now looks and gets mega greasy much quicker than it did when it was dry and full of chemicals. I’ve had a major chop ✂️ to above my shoulders thinking it would help make it feel fresher. It didn’t. The next day I bought a box of hair dye but that was almost a month ago and I still haven’t used it. I saw Elon Musks gorgeous mum being interviewed the other day and she was talking about her grey hair journey and how hideous it looked growing it out and the best thing she did was go super short and cut off the coloured hair. I have been considering doing the same but then 5 minutes later I think about colouring again. Long story short as at 11.30am today it is still grey, will it be tomorrow, next week, next month? I’m not sure but we are currently in toque season so I’ve been able to hide it when I’m out in public. Once spring hits it might be a different story. 🤷‍♀️
Like hello, how cute is this local little library that is a mini version of the house? Also as a frequent user of the little libraries dotted around our town, I have come to the conclusion that it’s where all John Grisham novels come to die. 📚 📖
