Cinnamon Broom
I need to have a list when I go into Trader Joe’s, otherwise I’ll always end up with purchases like this one shown above.
It’s literally a broom that makes any area you sweep smell like cinnamon. Am I losing it or is that an amazing idea? My grandma would be all OVER this baby.

Punch Bowl Market & Bakery in Stoney Creek, ON
Seasonal bakeries have become something of a rarity these days, I'm not sure why. There's something about them that I inherently trust, though. Maybe it has to do with the fact that if you're seasonal, you're considered better (well, I consider you better) than whatever's offered 365 days out of the year at other, more convenient establishments. But convenience isn't necessarily what I'm after. Fresh is what I'm after. And this bakery is all ABOUT that.
I've only gone twice (thank you Greg & Katie for introducing me!), but both times have been magical. I mean, look at this pie selection. And the individual tarts will blow your face off.
And in the autumn, they even have bales of hay! HAY! Where the hell else can you buy a bale of hay for under $10? Nowhere - I've looked. Home Depot laughs in your face if you ask them that question.
In any case, if you find yourself near the Devil's Punch Bowl in Hamilton, you have to stop in here. They're open seven days a week from 9am - 5pm, from April 1st to December 24th. Get the hell over there.
“When applying makeup, most people tend to do one eye flawlessly and the other not so much. So when it comes to putting on eyeliner or filling in eyebrows, you should always start with the more difficult eye first. It’ll force you to get better at making that one as strong as the other.”

Apple Picking at Chudleigh's
I hadn't been to Chudleigh's in years, so we decided to go recently. There wasn't a huge selection (we chose to go with picking Cortland apples), but that was mainly our fault since we went on tail end of the apple picking season (which goes from late August to late October).
I'm not sure if everyone does this, but the best part is really just eating apples along the way as you pick them. Is that gross? Is it not allowed? These answers can't be known.
