Halloween Bath Time Treats from LUSH
Halloween. For some, it's all about costumes, crazy parties, or candy. For me, it's about bath time treats from LUSH. Every year, I look forward to fall (because fall is awesome in so many ways), because I know Sparkly Pumpkins are going to be out soon. . .to make my bathtub a orange sparkly dream. I also look forward to the other delightful bath time treats for Halloween, from LUSH. I'm pretty happy that they have so many that are vegan-friendly. LUSH always takes care to properly label all ...
Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
In an effort to savour memories of various times of the year, I've taken to embracing seasonal fruits and vegetables by creating season-centric meals. This Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip is sure to be a fall-favourite. Growing up in Houston, Texas, it was sometimes hard to tell what season it was based on the weather. That couldn't be further from the truth in Calgary, Alberta - where my family moved to when I was 12. Being surrounded by new-to-me family meant a lot of get-togethers and seasonal ...

Vegan Pumpkin Waffles
You know how it is: you make a recipe using pumpkin puree and you're left with half a can of it, not sure what to make next. That's kind of how this recipe for vegan pumpkin waffles came about. I had just a bit of pumpkin puree and a bunch of pumpkin butter left, not knowing what to use it in. Luckily, the pumpkin butter will last a while in the fridge, but the pumpkin puree is another story. This post contains affiliate links.

Celebrate Loved Ones with a Fall Harvest Dinner
During the warm months of the year, I like to go for walks with my loved ones—along the seawall, in forested parks, and on hiking trails—but when it starts to get colder out, I like to have them close-by as we enjoy a meal together. Rather than go out to a crowded restaurant, I prefer to put something together in my home and relax while I enjoy the company of my friends and family. To me, fall is all about relaxing, enjoying the abundance of nature, and celebrating with gratitude for the loved ...

Top Places to Visit in Vancouver this Fall
Tourists typically come out to Vancouver during the summer months because the weather is pretty much guaranteed to be beautiful. Days at the beach or in the mountains/parks followed by some shopping and dining in one of Vancouver's many lively districts is pretty typical. Many people may not think to come to Vancouver in the fall, though. Vancouver is truly beautiful in fall, and the weather stays pleasant into mid-October. Cooler temperatures and fewer crowds are just a few reasons why I ...
