Happy Sunday everyone! Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It’s always been a day of rest, time with family, refocusing, and call me crazy but the sun is usually shining on a Sunday! But do you know what I don’t love….. Smonday…..you know what I’m talking about; that feeling when the weekend is almost over and the anxiety of Monday morning sets in. When I start to notice that feeling coming on, I kind of turn a little…
Hello again!! It has been far too long! My apologies for not posting anything in the last couple of months. I’ve been directing my efforts at applying for work outside the home and spending more time outdoors with Mairead. I love sharing all my creations and recipes on here, but I had to dial it back a bit. Anyone who has ever done the blogging thing knows how time consuming and it is, and how expensive it can get when…
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were everything you hoped for 🙂 How crazy is it that we are into 2018? One can only imagine what kind of shit show this year has in store, hahaha! Our Christmas went off without a hitch, except for a wee set back. The cold and flu have been sweeping through our house since Christmas Eve; enough already! Poor Mairead has been battling the brunt of it, with Aaron and I trailing exhaustively…
Is it me or is “adulting” a lot more work this time of year? I sorely miss the days where all I had to worry about was leaving cookies out for Santa and counting how many gifts were under the tree with my name on them. Now it’s all $$$, busy shopping malls, and WHAT THE HELL do you even buy anyone anymore?! We all have far more than what we need, and then some. When I started out my…
Those of you who have been with me here at Three Happy Folk since the beginning might remember the early stages of this project. This blog began over two years ago (a little earlier than I was ready to) to meet a deadline of a contest that I was hoping to enter as a blogging contributor. I laugh at myself now looking back and how little I knew about the time and effort a (good) blog actually requires. Yet I was…
It is no secret I love all-natural beauty products and now that the warmer weather is here my skin could use some extra attention. I’m limited to what I can buy in this town when it comes to organics and although I am no stranger to shopping online, I do avoid these items. I like to be able to smell the soaps and lotions and also to read the ingredients label to make sure that they are in fact made…
There have been waaay too many late nights around here lately and my skin is telling the story. I wish I had an exciting reason why I am sporting black circles under my eyes but the truth is I just don’t let myself sleep! I will find anything to do other than go to bed. And once I finally do, I lie there and think of all the things I could be getting done. I even had a thought that I would…
I may not be winning any favors with the beauty industry by making my own products and posting how-to’s but some things are just too simple (and cheap) to make yourself. Every winter I can not seem to get ahead of chapped lips in this dry Alberta weather. I try to be proactive; I drink lots of water, wear lip balm, and moisturize but it’s still a fight. However, one thing that definitely helps is a good lip exfoliation. I…
I can’t imagine anyone who would not love the feeling of healthy skin. We could all stand to give a little extra care to our body’s largest organ. It’s easy to forget how we treat our skin can directly affect our health and with all the sunshine and makeup I expose my skin to I am no exception. About 10 years ago I became obsessed with learning about the harmful chemicals in my food, beauty and household products. I hated shopping…
Anyone who has ever come within a 100 foot radius of LUSH knows too well the captivating scents of their handmade cosmetics. I love love love handmade natural soaps, lotions, oils; you name it, I’m all over it…or I should say it’s all over me. The soapers (yes that’s a real term) at farmers markets are smiling ear to ear when they see me headed their way! I’ve been making a conscious effort to make what I can for cosmetics…
