Christmas Shopping For Your Boyfriend (Blogmas Day 2)

I'm pretty good at shopping for gifts, especially when it comes to Christmas gifts. I'm very attentive to the things people like and I really love choosing gifts that are both thoughtful and useful. However this skill, or talent if you will, clearly does not apply when it comes to shopping for my boyfriend. Because I am truly clueless. If you're looking for some kind of guide for the ideal gifts to buy your boyfriend, I am very sorry because what you have stumbled across here is far from that; this is a rant. Because I am truly confused, why is it so hard to shop for your boyfriend??

Maybe I'm alone here and I'm sounding crazy. And it's not that my boyfriend is overly picky or has high expectations. However I'm used to being able to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list and for some reason I just can't put my finger on what it would be. I can think of things he would like, sure. But I'm after that kind of gift that has that 'wow' factor. And of course, every time I think of something that would make a good gift, I realize how much it would cost (and how tight my budget actually is).

I've tried reading all sorts of "Christmas gift ideas and suggestions for guys" articles and honestly none of them seemed to apply. Please tell me I'm not the only one who doesn't find these helpful? I mean, I read the gift guide articles for girls and I'm thinking hell yeah these are great, I'd love all of these! And then I get to the ones for men and I'm just like... no... none of these sound that great to me. Anyone else feel that way? Let me know in the comments!

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef. I have the best recipe for waffles that are truly delicious AND any lazy chefs dream; its all done in one bowl, with ingredients everyone has in their kitchen. Literally foolproof and delicious.

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of...

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm: For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps: Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish: Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it. Pros: Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier. Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
