I think I've shared Activate before, but it's so much fun - me and Kayla went and ran around for 90 minutes and had such a blast. There is so really from rooms: the laser, the throwing, the big grid - it's all a blast!

I just talked about my March books on yesterday's post; but, After The Woods by Kell Woods still deserves it's own post because I really enjoyed it! This is an adult fantasy/fairytale retelling. This was a Hansel and Gretel "retelling" but set 15 years or so in the future when Hans is squandering the family money and Greta is baking some magical gingerbread to keep their family afloat. While the village folks are starting to question if she is a witch and the ruling people are looking to collect more money, Greta isn't sure what she should do. There are also dangerous creatures lurking around - wolves and bears in the forest nearby and the lines are blurred on what is good and evil. I loved the twists, the sentient book, the magic types, the potential romance. This focused very much in the beginning of characters and ambience and the plot really picked up in the second half and I enjoyed it!

Last weekend we had a little Girl's afternoon visit and gift exchange and I got such a cute little gift! I got these nice warm wool socks and a really cute belt bag! It was such a chill afternoon and good to catch up with my friends! 

Winter 2023 - The Jilly Box Subscription Unboxing

I'm a big fan of Jillian Harris, so when she announced that she was starting a subscription box, I was so excited! The box started with the Winter 2019 box and sadly, I was not one of the lucky originals who won a subscription spot, so I sign up every season and hope to get picked for a lottery spot!

I purchased this box

The Jilly Box is a quarterly seasonal subscription box - the products within the box include some of Jillian’s (and Team Jilly’s!) favourite items (and brands) from home decor, fashion, bath and beauty, health and wellness, accessories perfect for each season. Some of the items included will be custom designed exclusively for the Jilly Box. The Jilly Box really focuses on including products from small, local businesses while being ethically sourced and inclusive. They also focus on reducing plastic waste and packaging - the big boxes can be turned inside out and reused! Also, they try to include Canadian, woman owned brands, as well as Bipoc and LGBTQ owned brands as well.

Ahhh - it's my favourite time of year, The Night Circus time! I recently finished my 8th re-read and it's the most magical book of all time! Le Cirque De Reves opened on October 13, 1886 (and it's especially fabulous this yea, since it's Friday the 13th). This is an adult fantasy and it's such a lovely read - the most amazing Fall book to read! Pick it up!
