It’s Halloween crunch time! We’re a week out and guess what? I haven’t purchased Halloween treats yet. I’ve been so preoccupied with all the kids’ activities, work, and general life that I almost forget to add this to my list.

I recently shared a mini tutorial on my Instagram showing how I upcycle old candles into new ones. I received almost 30 DMs asking various questions about which products I use and how. Besides sharing on IG, I decided the best way to show my process is through a blog post, so here it is!
I’ve been doing this for years and it’s the easiest and cheapest thing ever. Scroll to see how I turn my old candles into new ones!
One thing about living in the blog world is that it’s very easy to get caught up in the perfection that photos and social media can portray. Day in and day out, I look at photos of seemingly perfect homes wishing I could change mine. It’s a real struggle learning how to be happier in your home.
The truth of the matter is that we purchased our home for a great price, but we knew from the start there would be work to do. Although we’ve been making changes since we moved in 2014, our home is nowhere near where I would like it to be. Regardless of the fact that we have a good sized functional home, I find myself stressing over the fact that our kitchen has yet to be redone, our upstairs is still covered in the home’s original carpet, and our front yard has no landscaping. I’m slowly learning to be happy in the home we have, but it’s difficult.

The front pages of their websites as well as the emails and commercials I was seeing were promoting new Spring collections. As much as I love seeing the bright colours and pretty dresses, I won’t be doing my Spring shopping anytime soon. Why? Because I did that last Fall.
It’s spring, and you should be shopping for Fall and Winter clothes now.
I honestly cannot stress how much money I’ve saved from shopping the previous season’s sales, and this is my favourite time of year to do it. Right now, stores are clearing out some of the most expensive items you’ll buy all year. Here’s what I’ve stocked up on so far.Read More

This cake was surprisingly easy to make, and here’s how I did it:Read More
