The Fresh Perspective...

Halloween

I love candy, and I’ve been eating it regularly for the past few weeks. Sugar is my weakness. I love just about anything sweet and halloween is the perfect excuse to feed my vice. I have never really participated in this season and it’s funny how my children view this time of year. They have only trick or treated twice and I think they really liked it! I’m not sure what’s in store this year as covid-19 has upended everything!

I wonder about so many aspects of our lives we don’t question until we are faced with it directly. Door to door, receiving items from strangers doesn’t seem to go hand in hand with our local pandemic rules. I’ve heard of people putting out a large bowl of treats on their front step and letting the kids take as they wish, at any rate they wish. Some say this is lazy, others say, you miss out on the cute costumes when you just place out the candy like a dish or dog food. Here! Take whatever you want!

If no one can go door to door, and no one can really make contact, will tricking or treating still happen?

Well as far as I am concerned, it doesn’t matter what corona decides to do with this North American experience. I’m stocked up on twix and gummies! I’m straight!

Toques!

It's Saturday!

T O Q U E S

What a fun time we had shooting toques! They are a great way to look like you have a liottle style without styling your hair. Living in Winnipeg really allows you lean into the cold weather. For us folks with curly hair, toques protect our hair from the harsh climates. Honestly if you can line your hats with silk or satin, it’ll go a long way in the health of your hair.

We are in the last quarter of the year so prepare yourselves for all the things that are about to kick off. The holidays are quickly approaching.

Looking good, working out.

Let’s get out there!

Could you imagine waking up to this every day?!

OCTOBER! Here we are! Am I the only one who can see Christmas in their sights? Before the snow comes down and we are stuck indoors, let’s take a minute to give pause and thanks for the outdoors. How incredible are these images of our beautiful earth? There are so many times I feel like I’m bothered and bogged down with ‘life stuff’. A solution? Outside! Even though it seams trivial, getting outside, even for a five minute breather, makes a HUGE difference.

I am excited for the leaves and the crisp smell that comes with fall. I like the look of a cold day outdoors just as much as the green lush days of the summer. The bugs are gone, the nights start getting shorter and a fire every weekend makes me feel so comforted. Outside is one of my favourite places to be up until end of October and by November, I’m only outside to use my vehicle and go for a run (I love outdoor running in the winter)

Now that it is getting colder, whats your outdoor maintenance like? Are there a lot of trees in your naighborhood? That scene of the orange, brown, and yellow leaves reminds me of so many things. Change, memory, family… It’s a sign of the things coming up. It also is a sign that you'll need to invest in a leaf blower or some sort of super rake or an abundance of children to aid in the gathering of the leaves.

I have been seeing more and more front yards without grass or any type of foliage that requires upkeep. I think of how barren that yard is devoid of the majestic tree and her leaves. Nonetheless, trees or no trees, the great outdoors really does have a therapeutic effect. And if your city has no smog or issues with pollution, get out there and take a few deep breaths in and out. It’s good for what ails ya!
