Winters can be hard to get through in Alberta because of their length and bitter cold (especially this year!), and in my opinion, winter sports can make all the difference. I remember my favourite days in elementary school gym class were every winter when we would...
Whenever Friday night comes around, I’m always a victim of FOMO. Whether I’m avoiding alcohol just to take a break, or I'm DD-ing everyone home at the end of the night, being around people with cocktails makes my lime Perrier seem, well, lame. Mock-Ups Mocktails...
Setting out New Year’s resolutions and goals can be a fun activity, but what about actually achieving those goals? According to Marla Tabaca of Inc., 80 per cent of New Year’s resolutions fail. She recommends choosing a word of the year instead, but I say that it’s...
Good sides can often be the most challenging part of making dinner. After all, deciding to cook a roast chicken or some steaks may be easy, but choosing something to go with it? That’s harder. Scalloped potatoes have always been a favourite in my house, but until...
Houseplants are great for stress relief and decor. One of the most daunting tasks can be how to maintain them throughout the year because of the varying weather. Winter weather is genuinely dreadful for plant lovers everywhere. Many of us do not have large...

The Christmas break is upon us, and with plenty of time on hand, students used to the hustle and bustle of university life and impending deadlines may be caught twiddling their thumbs, searching for ways to fill this newfound void. No one wants to have an...
As the holiday season is officially in full swing, many people are thinking about their weight and body size more than usual. I spoke with Rhiannon de Vries, a nutritional consultant and health at every size and intuitive eating educator, to get some advice on...

Fall is one of my favourite seasons. Not only is it aesthetically beautiful, but it’s also the perfect time to cozy up, put on a hot pot of soup, and read a book. For me, soups are easy, tasty, and a perfect way to prepare my meals for the week. You can’t go wrong...
