Wearable technology has blown up in the past few years, and this past week my husband and I got to see just how far fitness trackers have come when we tested out the Hexoskin Biometric shirt. From badminton to mountain biking, we wore Hexoskin for them all, so read on to see why this is the only fitness tracker we’ve tried that tracks every type of activity easily and accurately.

I spend a lot of time talking about creating recipes here on Shelly’s Friday Favourites, but I’ve discovered recently that some of the most delicious things in life don’t have to involve cooking at all. In fact, they don’t have to involve eating either.

When the heat is on outside, the inside of ours houses start cooking, and that means sleep is almost impossible. If you want to sleep better during the hot summer months, take a look at these sleeping tips for hot summer nights.

You rely on your Dad or the Dad in your life every single day in numerous ways. This Father’s Day, why not pick him up a gift that he’ll love? Here’s a look at the best personal and practical gifts for any Dad.

Until I tried cooking more than just rice in a rice cooker, I had no idea you could whip up so many different recipes in one. This week I decided to try three different dishes in a rice cooker, just to see how they’d turn out.

I’ll admit it: I’ve kind of scoffed at no-bake desserts in the past. It almost seems as though if you can’t put it in the oven, it’s not really dessert. But as I’ve discovered, some desserts don’t have to be labour intensive and time consuming to be really, really good. My kid’s all time favourite dessert actually takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, and I’d be proud to serve it to my foodie friends.  

A good office chair is a must have for anyone who sits at a computer for an extended period of time, and if you’re in the market for a new office chair, you’ve got to take a look at the DXRacer Formula High Back Ergonomic office chairs.  

From my own experience, I can tell you that the best way to get creative with the BBQ is to use spice rubs. Spice rubs are made up of ground spices like salt, pepper, chilli pepper, and more. All you have to do is coat the meat you’re using, whether that’s beef, chicken, or ribs, with the rub and BBQ as you normally would. If done right, you’re in for a definite treat for dinner.

With wedding season near again, there’s never been a better time for the release of the brand new Cricut Explore Air.

I recently put my house up for sale, and before I did, I took a good look at every single room in my house and added some spring-time touches to every corner. From fresh new paint to simple touches like a brand new duvet cover, I had a blast bringing life and colour into every room after a long winter inside. Here are just a few great ways to refresh your house for spring, from simple fixes to big changes.
