I was going to just say congrats, but YOU PAID OFF A HOUSE IN TORONTO??? That is 100% THE DREAM and I’m jealous that you were able to buy 18 years ago, to be able to pay it off today. Buying now means....paying it off never :(

She looks like what you’d get if you crossed Trixie with Kim Chi.

FINALLY. I know, I know, we all complained that there was too much too soon when they blasted us with S11 and AS4 back-to-back, but the silence re: even an airdate for S12 was so spooky! Time to go look at everything that dropped today, RIP my to-do list. 

Tbh, for the volume of spinach you need for this, I’d absolutely go with frozen. I don’t have that kind of fridge space.

I use Dove bar soap in the shower every morning and moisturize with whatever drugstore St. Ives shit I have immediately afterwards. I do nothing else to my face. I have micellar water if I really really need to take off some long-wear makeup. Eating a lot of sugar and/or intense stress seem to be the triggers for the…

My husband 100% gets dry skin on his face. It was visible, even! I insisted that he start using some of my (very basic, drugstore) lotion and now we live happily non-flakily ever after. 

Does it have the butterscotch marshmallow squares though?? I like to tell people I grew up in the ‘Canadian midwest’ and there are these squares, present on the trays that nice ladies put together for functions, that are horrific if you think about them for too long but are my absolute favourite. You make them by…

This must be some weird corporate non-compete thing, because why on earth would you want more flavours of the shitty American version of KitKat? Bring in the ones everyone else worldwide already has, they’re much, much better. This is not a subtle thing - I was disappointed to find the difference as a wee Canadian…

I love Oreo Thins. They make me feel fancy somehow. 

They had a strawberry one one ages ago in Canada (and maybe still?) It was pretty good.

Everything old is new again. I remember horrible fake plants being around in folks’ houses when I was a kid and I thought we weren’t doing that anymore....but here we are.

(50+ real pots and counting in this house.)

I agree with you 100% - why is it assumed that the only flavour acceptable for morning is ‘SWEET’? My MIL is extremely kind and wants to cook breakfast for my husband and I when we visit, but it’s pretty much always pancakes. I didn’t eat the thick, stack-style pancakes until I was late in my teens so without a…

Can we also discuss for a minute how blindingly bright shades of orange were extremely on trend for our tender youth?

You can bring stuff you want to buy from the food store to the cash registers at the snack bar.

Girl where have you been? The style of jean you desire has been back in fashion for at least a few years now. It hasn’t quite made it to the Old Navy-level of ubiquity but they’re not that hard to find.

hahahahaha I owned these when I was 15-16!! and wore them CONSTANTLY. 

I recently added a move to my routine that’s called the ‘dead bug’. It’s a good exercise, would recommend, but it has a bad name and I find myself internally chanting ‘dead bug dead bug dead bug’ while I do it.

I do not regret buying my wedding dress online by myself, partly for this reason. My mother has always found a way to comment on my body and get weirdly competitive, PLUS I find the culture around dress shopping pretty overwhelming. Me, my best friends, my MIL and my mom also all live in different cities so I was…

Hahahahaha! I’ve always loved that so much of school ‘spirit’ for Ottawa U is rallied around shitting on what would typically be the core of school spirit.

what’s a Gee-Gee?

(I’m with you about everything in this post...except Survivor.)
