One Bowl Chocolate Cake (Moist and Decadent!)
My passion for baking started when I was little and still in elementary school. I had a few go-to recipes that I would whip out after school and make routinely. One of those recipes was a recipe in my mom’s binder of recipes titled “Six Minute Chocolate Cake”.
Homemade Hot Chocolate Stir Sticks
By now, you have probably already heard of hot chocolate bombs, and maybe have even read my post about them. Although they are fun to make they do require a few supplies and techniques that make them a bit more of an ordeal. However, chocolate stir sticks are able to be made within an hour […]
Homemade Christmas Garland; Plus How to Make Dried Orange Slices
This past weekend I started decorating my house for Christmas. Every year we get a fresh tree and it makes the house smell amazing. There is just something about fresh evergreen in the house that makes it that much cozier. This year I was inspired to bring in even more fresh cuttings to give the […]
DIY Coasters; How to Transfer Images Onto Wood
These wooden coasters are so great for many reasons. They’re cheap and easy to make, customizable, and they are great presents during the holidays! I came up with this coaster idea when I was strolling through Michael’s (as usual) and saw these wooden disks. The wood reminded me of my elementary school legacy project where […]
Soft and Chewy Ginger Cookies
These ginger cookies are one of my favourite cookies to give away as gifts during the holiday season. This is why they are the first holiday baking cookies being published on the blog! They pack all of the flavours of a gingersnap cookie without the tough crunch, making these soft cookies even more enjoyable.
How To Make Hot Chocolate Balls
For me, mid-november typically signals the start of the holiday season. All of the leaves have fallen off the trees, the local mountains have opened for the season and it is extremely cold outside. So what better way to kick off the holiday season and get into the holiday spirit with some delicious, rich, creamy […]
Make Your Own Earrings for Cheap: Spiral Hoops
My friend Clara recently posted a super tragic Instagram story saying how she lost her favourite earring. The earring she lost was a spirally hoop earring that as it turns out, is incredibly easy to make! Of course I DMd her explaining how I think she would be able to make one, but thought a […]
How To Take In Jeans That Are Too Big
As you can tell from the making of my “Thrifty Thursday” series, I love to thrift! I go very often to find items for DIY’s as well as to update my wardrobe (which I mostly get second hand). For those out there who also love to thrift, you already know the feeling when you find […]
Making Your Own Tie Dye From Onions
I love tie dye! It’s a really fun thing to wear and you feel funky while rocking it. Before it was trending, I would make one each summer at (in my opinion) the tie dye capital, Salt Spring Island here in BC. I probably have about 20 pieces of tie dye clothing (oops). With that […]
Upcycled Vase
The thrift store offers so many fun glass vases that it often doesn’t make sense to go buy a new one when you can customize your own for so cheap! I finally caved and decided to try the viral DIY texturized paint trick that’s been circulating pinterest recently (I know, so basic). After a quick […]
