When you live in this province, the ultimate Winter plans are typically made on the west coast, right? So, we planned a trip to the west coast. When trying to find accommodations, however, we discovered our little road trip was scheduled during the exact same time as the National Special Olympics, and everything was booked solid in Deer Lake and Corner Brook. Super bad timing … Continue reading Curing the Winter Blues
The start of a new year is always a good time to think about being healthy. (Thinking and acting, however, are two completely different things, haha). But, whenever there’s a chance to be healthy naturally, we try to take it. Back in November, Jess and I were given a chance to try Saje Wellness products for the first time–it was right around their St. John’s … Continue reading Healthy New Year + Saje
I’m not one for making Resolutions on January 1st. Have I made them in the past? Yes. Have I kept them? Hell no. Until 2015. Last year I finally did it–I finally kept a New Year’s goal for the entire 365 days. Last year, I made the decision to only buy clothing from secondhand shops. There were a few exceptions: undergarments, activewear, footwear, and Christmas … Continue reading Why I Thrifted in 2015
For those of us here in Newfoundland & Labrador, Westjet has really been on a roll lately. Especially if you live close to St. John’s. A couple years ago, the airline introduced a direct flight from St. John’s to Dublin–GENIUS. (Read our post about it here). 4.5 hours later, you’re in Ireland. Plus, they introduced the new flight at a ridiculously low price–I think we … Continue reading London Called…We Must Go
Her name’s Brassy Lassy. (Okay no, her name’s actually Andrea, but we love calling her Brassy.) We’ve known Brassy for a couple of years now, from attending the same markets on the weekends. We’re SO PROUD of her for opening her own storefront in downtown St. John’s. Just walking into the store does good for your soul. Spend five minutes in there and you’ll swear … Continue reading There’s A New Girl Downtown.
If you’ve ever shopped at Model Citizens, you know that place is a treasure chest of stylish goodies. It’s officially a “Contemporary Designer Resale and Vintage Designer Boutique”, but I like calling it a treasure chest. We’ve both been shopping there ever since it opened, and we’ve yet to go in there and not fall in love with something. And, since the stock changes all … Continue reading Modeling Citizens
Remember a few years back when they changed the route you had to take to get to the top of Signal Hill? I didn’t enjoy the change, haha. What if I don’t want to make the detour into the Visitor’s Centre? What if I just really want to get to the top? Now, however, I LOVE this detour. The detour is bloody brilliant–it leads you directly … Continue reading Where else can you try Labrador Bakeapple Gelato?!
Thrift stores are typically hit or miss for me. I’ll either find nothing, or leave the store with a stuffed bag of goodies–$100 later. (This is the part of this post where Jess would say she ALWAYS finds something.) How many times have I left items on the rack, thinking I’ll find better stuff at the next thrift store? I always regret it afterwards. (Like … Continue reading Denim Duds
Most of us here on the Avalon Peninsula knew today would be a snow day. I mean, come on, we all follow Ryan Snoddon on Facebook, am I right? Judging by the crowd at the grocery store yesterday–EVERYONE knew they’d be stuck in the house until at least lunchtime today. (Nothing brings us all out and about together like a nice fat blizzard warning, haha). … Continue reading Successful Snow Days & Shout-Outs.
