If you’ve read any of my recent posts on laundry (see list below), you know that it's a chore I absolutely loathe. I would rather spend an entire weekend cleaning the tile in my bathroom with a toothbrush than do my laundry.

Moving day. I know it all too well, having moved twice in the last three years, the latest just a few months ago. And when it comes to mapping out the furniture in your new rooms, there are a few tips that can go a long way to making the process run smoothly.

The New Year is fast approaching, and resolutions are being made left, right, and centre. If you break your resolutions more often than you make them, then maybe it's time for a motivational push this year. Whether you want to eat healthier, trim down, or spend more time with the kids, you can achieve your goals with a plan and some extra effort.

So, with that in mind, I thought I’d write a follow up post that highlights some great desk options available at Best Buy.  But first, let’s quickly define what makes a “great desk” and why having one in your work or home office can actually increase productivity. 

Canada is considered to be one of the safest countries in the world, but that doesn’t make us immune to natural hazards like floods, earthquakes, landslides, power outages, or storms. That’s why it’s important to always be prepared for the worst, even if the worst never ends up happening. With a few essentials at the ready, you’ll help minimize the impact an emergency may have on you and your family. 

I’m not sure about you, but one of the first things I do every morning is brew myself a nice, hot cup of coffee at home. I then swing by my local coffee shop en route to the office, where they know me so well they greet me by name and start prepping my Americano the second they see me walk through the door.
