If you've ever burned candles or incense in your house and wrinkled your nose at the synthetic scents that were hidden pre-candle flame, you aren't the only one.The road to warm scents in our homes is paved with dried herbs. Some favourites were sweet fern, cinnamon, and tree saps. It's astounding the small gifts the [...]
Digging up roots! Dandelions - a strangely divisive little plant. Seemingly everyone wants this tenacious flower off of their lawn, but aside from being a wonderful friend to pollinators, did you know that the whole plant is edible? It’s true! The roots, stems, leaves, and flower are all you’re too enjoy at differing times of [...]
This past October I had the opportunity to spend a week on the road and see a lot of Northern Ontario that I have never seen before. Here's a small glimpse into some of my favourite moments. Our first stop was Bonnechere Caves, where we learned our first lesson to call any and all places [...]
Ah, the sweet sweet reality of moving to a different country is that you often times forget to bring all of your memory cards that contain the things you're working on! Ha! Jumping backwards in time a little bit, here is the video for day three of our adventure off-grid camping with Cabinscapes in Kingston, [...]

Day two of our Frontenac adventure! My sister and I woke up to the realization that a solar run cabin doesn't function as flawlessly without the sun, but we were not deterred! I think aside from the first day to charge up the power, this was the only time we actually used the generator! We [...]
Hello hello! Last week my sister and I took a trip to an off-grid cabin for the week just north of Kingston, and I decided to film it to be able to look back on our time and find a new way to creatively express myself! I learned a lot through filming, and we [...]
This has been a really good week for starting new projects and checking things off my to-do-in-life list! So here's some fun things I got up to! Finishing TV Shows & Starting New Ones I've been binge-watching a show called Busted! on Netflix (check out the trailer here) about a rag-tag group of detectives who [...]
Often times I find myself with a lot of destinations in mind, but often not a lot of specific planning. Unfortunately this meant that I would get to a destination and not really know what to do which led to a lot of stress, guilt, and sometimes unenjoyable travel. I was too broad with my [...]
Since I decided to re-do my blog, a lot of you may not know where this all began and who exactly my beloved Jolene is. Well, she's my van. My lovely, beautiful, baddass babe. During the summer of 2017, and this coming summer 2018 I have been driving across Canada and exploring art, people, nature, [...]
