Celebrate Loved Ones with a Fall Harvest Dinner

by Tazim Damji

fall centrepiece

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 ...

by Tazim Damji

fall wreath DIY ideas for decor

What a fun weekend project! You can create DIY fall wreaths this weekend with the kids, a friend, or by yourself. One of my favourite ways to celebrate the everyday special occasion is to decorate seasonally. Seasonal decorating is easy, fun, and festive! I love to decorate seasonally with items found in nature, things I already have at home, and with things I've created myself. Aren't DIY projects a fun way to celebrate a new season?Hopefully, some of you will be creating fall wreaths this ...

Halloween DIY & Handmade Ideas Roundup

by Tazim Damji

I've been creating Halloween DIY projects and costumes most of my life. I remember having a plastic masked Cabbage Patch Kids costume one year, when I was pretty young, and a hand-me-down $50 Canadian bill costume, but other than that, they've all been DIY costumes.  Fall crafts are a lot of fun and can be done on the cheap. There are leaves, pine cones, pumpkins, and other things readily available to use. A Few Halloween DIY Ideas: Wicked Witch Cookies – Easy Halloween Treats Witch ...

Easy Vegan Pizza and Sauce from Scratch

by Tazim Damji

Easy Vegan Pizza

Pizza is one of those food I could every single day and not get tired of it. It's so easy to change the flavour based on the sauce and vegetables put on top. It's also easy to change up the texture of the crust to make it more or less thin/greasy. Because I love pizza so (so) much, I naturally assumed that it was difficult to put it together myself. Vegan Pizza Dough Super easy, delicious pizza dough!! 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast1 tablespoon dry sugar2 tablespoons olive oil (plus ...

Fall Mantel Makeover

by Tazim Damji

fall mantel

It's one of my favourite times of the year, when all the gorgeous oranges and browns are out in full force. To bring a bit of the fall cozyness inside, I decided to update the decorations on my mantelpiece. When you live in an apartment without a fireplace, you have to make do with what you have. In my case: a wall shelf that acts as a mantelpiece. One of the easiest ways to dress up my apartment and change things up seasonally is to dress up my mantelpiece. This year, I've been lucky enough ...

Fall Beauty Tips: Choose a Weekly Polish in a Bold Shade

by Tazim Damji

CND Vinylux

I like to change up my nail polish for each season. The leaves on the trees have been changing colour recently, and I've been seeing more sweaters, cardigans, boots and jackets showing up in all the shops. The bright blue and green nail polish from the CND Vinylux Paradise Collection I've been wearing all summer no longer seem to go with the colours of fall. The new Modern Folklore collection from CND Vinylux is inspired by Faberge and fine tapestry. The collection includes these 6 shades: ...

I Confess! 5 Things I Secretly Love about the End of Summer

by Tazim Damji

end of summer

I always look forward to the end of spring, because I know sunshine and warm weather is heading our way — but then, too much hot weather makes me long for the cooler fall temperatures. I will miss the sunshine and all the festivals and events that happen here every summer, but fall offers plenty of other great things that I look forward to enjoying. Here is a quick list of 5 of them: Layers. I like wearing layers: cardigans, zip-up sweaters, real shoes (not sandals or flip-flops). Getting ...

Fall Entertaining #PairingIdeas

by Tazim Damji

vegan pumpkin dip

When entertaining friends and family, the challenge for me is putting together drinks and meals that are vegan-friendly yet also appealing to my non-vegan guests. Having a theme to work with is always helpful, as having too many options leaves me feeling scatter-brained and directionless. I have come up with several pairings here to give you some ideas for upcoming get-togethers (big or small) in the fall season. These pairings are all vegan (but if you really want to, you can use ...
