I was so excited to make the favours for our wedding … candles, of course! 😁

His and hers fragrances in gold and black tins… that were a HIT. I had none left to take home for myself!! I guess people like candles in the fall?!

A big thank you to my friend who captured this as I completely forgot to document these. YOU ROCK.

And just like that, I’m married. ✨

Hi everyone! I’m back from hiatus … a deserved break. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and can’t wait to share more pics when we get them. It truly was the best day ever.

We took two weeks off for our honeymoon to tour around Vancouver Island …hiking, eating, and enjoying time together without the craziness of life buzzing in our ears. It was remarkable.

I’m excited to start working on some seasonal and holiday stuff!! Back into the rhythm of this creative space. Stay tuned!!

OH HELLO THERE! Yes. It has been awhile. I’m alive. 23 sleeps away from getting married. It’s been a bit hectic.

BUT.

I am very excited to share all the DIY I’ve been up to! So stay tuned.

In the meantime, I would like to clear out my inventory in prep for my “fresh” start post- honeymoon. ✨

… I have lots planned for the late fall when I have more time. A market and some new products for the holidays and alllll the yummy scents of the season. 🍂🪵☺️

Anyways. My control freak organization skills has allowed for some less stressful weeks closer to the wedding and I hope to be a bit more active on here again.

Had to take a break, ya know?

Remember when cocktail hour was a thing after the office? I’m still here for it and love getting crafty in the kitchen after working from home. 🍹

Inspired by my “the time is ripe” summer scent, this is a delicious tea cocktail you can try at home! We used locally made gin from and it was GOOOOOOD. Anyone else a gin lover first? 👋🏼

To make these delicious bevvies, it’s as easy as making a pot of tea (nice and concentrated), icing it, sweetening it to your liking, and then pouring over ice with a shot of gin! We used a berry fruit tea, added some Madagascar vanilla bean, liquid Stevia to sweeten… and it complimented the licorice flavour of the gin BEAUTIFULLY.

I’m actually the worst at measuring things so I am sorry that I can’t give more thorough instructions. But don’t be scared to try and adjust as you like!

Top with some fresh berries and voila!! Cocktail hour, commence. 😎

Now let’s get through this hump day. 🐪

I’ve been told this is a very nostalgic smell. It brings you back to high school days where you imagine yourself dating this rugged badass person who smells of ci******es and musky cologne. And perhaps rode a motorcycle?!🔥

Treat yourself to some nostalgia. Only one left in stock!

Does anyone else love a one sheet pan meal? Cause gosh. It makes a weeknight dinner friggin easy. 😅 AND this is also veg! And pretty much vegan minus the grated parm on top.

So here you go. Chimichurri Inspired Sheet Pan Gnocchi. I promise you will love. 🌿

I N G R E D I E N T S

Chumichurri

• 1 C packed fresh parsley
• 1/4 C fresh oregano
• 1/4 C fresh basil (not traditional but I love it)
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/3 C olive oil (adding more for consistence if needed)
• 2 T white wine vinegar (more to taste)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Pepper to taste
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Gnocchi

• 1 package gnocchi
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1 inch pieces
• 1 zucchini, chopped into half moon slices
• 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
• 1 bundle of asparagus, chopped into one inch pieces
• Olive oil

H O W T O M A K E

✋🏼🛑 First. Turn oven on to 425F. Now proceed. 🙂

Chimichurri

1. Add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until pesto-like
2. Adjust flavourings to your preference (I added a bit of lemon as I just love that flavour)
3. Set aside

Gnocchi

1. Spread everything out on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil
2. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing once halfway through - tomatoes should be bursting, veggies slightly charred and gnocchi toasted
3. Remove from oven and then toss with Chimichurri in a large serving dish
4. Top with grated parm and enjoy!

Q U I C K T I P

Sometimes, it is necessary to spread everything onto two pans. Everything should have some space to breath and cook nice and evenly. Use your judgement! It all varies on size of veggies, etc. But you need your little chopped goodies to be able to have air circulate around them to get roasted nicely.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🍓That’s right … all the fresh strawberry booths are up and bumping and I couldn’t be happier.

Seeing these booths always brings back wonderful memories of learning how to jar things with my dad. My fave jarred items are jam (literally all kinds) and pickles (literally anything pickled). Although I’m not as skilled as my dad quite yet, I’m learning!

What will you be jarring this year? Would love some inspo! 🌿

Heading into the new week like….

Feeling so rejuvenated and glowing from the inside out. ☀️✨

I took an extra long weekend to travel up to Ottawa and visit some special people. I have this lovely pocket of friends up here that I am so fortunate to be able to see when I can. It is amazing to have friendships like that where you aren’t able to see each other all of the time, but when you do, it’s like you haven’t missed a beat.

So much goodness for the soul. 🌿

How was everyone else’s long weekend? The weather was absolutely perfect!
