When the colour of the night

We all knew this day was coming, but I’m still so so sad. Gord Downie wove in and out of the soundtrack of my life from the time I was 13 and heard Blow at High Dough for the first time. I was hooked for life. I’ve seen The Tragically …

A Peek Inside the Creative Mind

June 18, 2016michellefalardeaumarchand 5

Creativity is messy. Whether you are a creative person, or you have the pleasure of living with one, this should come as no surprise. But wouldn’t it feel vindicating to know this statement is backed by significant research? “The common traits that people across all creative fields seemed to have …

Ever wonder why?

March 6, 2016michellefalardeaumarchand Comment

Ever scratched your head and wondered why I am so obsessed with Young Living Essential Oils? Ever thought I was a little wacky for being so passionate about these little bottles of oil? Ever wondered why I chose this as my passion — both for health and for business — …

Relax, breathe and let go

February 26, 2016michellefalardeaumarchand Comment

Don’t skip over this video. It’s only a couple minutes long. It will be worth it, I promise. Spend more time being, not doing. Let me repeat that. Spend more time being, not doing. I cannot imagine succeeding at this practice. I think there would have to be meditation involved. …

A Shameless Love Letter to Natalie Merchant

January 26, 2016January 26, 2016michellefalardeaumarchand Comment

Okay, maybe not to her. But to you, about her. Which is more meaningful (and less creepy.) There is something so mesmerizing about Natalie Merchant. Close your eyes and let her voice wash over you like a warm tide. It’s magical. It’s rich and nuanced, and alights on the ear like …

Energy? Metabolism? Start 2016 at the top of your game.

January 4, 2016January 4, 2016michellefalardeaumarchand Comment

The fact that I’m letting people watch this cringe-worthy video is proof that I am serious about these oils. Why else would I embarrass myself like this? Truly. Since I eat, sleep and breathe Young Living Essential Oils, people often ask me questions about them. One of the most frequent …

A Canadian Gal in the States — Part 1: Style and Substance

December 22, 2015michellefalardeaumarchand 4

A couple months ago, I promised some posts on what it’s like to be a Canadian living in the United States. There are many stories to share, but this one seems appropriate to the season. And it was one of my first introductions into the differences between our two cultures. …

Pallet Wood Christmas Trees

December 10, 2015December 10, 2015michellefalardeaumarchand 2

There’s something about the holidays that brings out our inner Martha Stewart. Our homes are decorated top to bottom, there’s baking in the oven, and we feel like the Wonder Woman of the Yuletide. So that cool Christmas tree you saw on Pinterest? Of course we can make that. Bring …

Rockin’ the Bearded Look?

December 1, 2015michellefalardeaumarchand Comment

  Are you, or someone you know, rockin’ the bearded look these days? It’s a popular style among hipsters, the Amish, and people who haven’t realized Movember is over. But your significant other may not like being scratched up every time you want to get close. Keep that face fur …

In praise of puppy love (and pet insurance)

November 28, 2015November 28, 2015michellefalardeaumarchand 1

Dogs are a huge part of our family. They live with us, eat with us, sleep with us, and give us unconditional love. I could not imagine life without our dogs in it. But some dogs are more high-maintenance than others. I was unprepared for this. Our shepherd mix (Ginger) …

Holiday Baking — Sucre à la crème!

November 14, 2015November 14, 2015michellefalardeaumarchand 2

Imagine fudge. Rich, creamy, melt in your mouth fudge. But instead of the usual vanilla or chocolate, it’s flavored with pure maple syrup. It’s truly heaven in your mouth. For about two bites, and then your body goes into insulin overdrive and you need to sleep off your food coma. …

Wanna Betta Butt?

November 11, 2015January 26, 2016michellefalardeaumarchand Comment

Wanna Betta Butt? You’d better believe I do. I just bought these jeans at a local discount retailer. (For those of you who have never trolled the racks at Ross, you are missing out on some great deals on some great clothes. Send your inner snob for a chai latte …
