“Make your bed each morning. If every other part of your day goes wrong, at least at the end of it all you can take comfort in that one task fulfilled.”
Pasta Measuring Tool
Leftover pasta is usually always (but sometimes not) gross, can we agree on that? And I'm always making too much or too little of it since, well, I'll never fully understand things like ounces, grams and "serving sizes." I'm sorry, but they didn't any of this stuff in school like they should have.
Solution? This guy.

Why the hell am I only learning NOW that these exist? It's $10 and handy as hell to have in a kitchen.
Friends Furever
If you're like me and one of your top YouTube searches incorporates the words "animals who are friends," then you'll probably like this commercial as much as I do.

Spooky Behaviour
I'll never not love this clip.

Movie To Watch - Jack
I've always said that this is my favourite Francis Ford Coppola movie, but it might just be my favourite Robin Williams one as well. (Though, man... that's a really hard call to make. Have you seen What Dreams May Come? I'll never get over that movie.)
In any case, I love this movie so much. And maybe you're thinking that's only because I saw it so many times as a child and so it'll forever have a sweet spot in my heart... and honestly? Maybe that's the truth of it. If you haven't seen it, you should probably watch it for the first time with your kid or niece or nephew or someone of that age. I really think it holds up well.
Ready For It
Love this so much.
April Come She Will
Was this song as popular as their others? 'Cause I heard it for the first time only a few years ago and loved it. Way better than that damn bridge song.
Scandinave Spa
Have you heard of this place? It's a few hours outside of Toronto and completely worth the trek. It's ridiculous that it only costs $50 to spend the day here.
There are outdoor heated pools, a cold plunge pool, relaxation rooms, a sauna and a eucalyptus steam room that you can venture into throughout the day. I've only gone during the day (it's best to show up as soon as they open since you might get wait-listed if you show up mid-day), but I can only imagine how gorgeous this place would be at night.
One tip? They have a man who walks around and tells you to quiet down if you're too noisy so keep that in mind. (He says it in a really nice way, though, so it's not too embarrassing.)
They offer massages that you can book in advance as well. I opted not to have one since, well, massages are awful and last way too long (why can't I just pay, like, $10 for a five minute massage? That's all anyone needs.), but I've heard the ones here are pretty good.
That photo above was taken at the end of the day - can you tell how relaxed I am? No? Well, I think I always look relaxed so it's hard to gauge the varying relaxed-like features, so let me assure you that I was.
You should definitely check it out the next time you're near Blue Mountain. Thanks for introducing me to this place, Marla!
