The Chalets on Lake Muskoka - Gravenhurst, ON

It's been a while since I have done a travel post, but now is a good time to talk about our recent getaway that's partly responsible for the quick little break between this and my last post. We traveled to Gravenhurst, Ontario to stay on Lake Muskoka.

To celebrate my husband's birthday, we booked a few nights at The Chalets on Lake Muskoka through Travelzoo. If you've been a reader a long time now, you know I love finding a good deal! Travel is no different and Travelzoo often has some great offers, local, exotic, and everything in between. Not just travel, but experiences as well!

Five Friday Faves

Tomorrow is my husband's birthday, so I'm making today's post short and sweet to get a head start on our plans and celebrations! I haven't even filled out his card or wrapped his gifts, so I've got to shift into gear. 

I hate wrapping and put it off as long as I can, which makes me especially my own worst enemy at Christmas. Larry, however, loves wrapping though he goes through tape like it grows on trees because he insists on no seams. I always joke I'd get him to wrap his own gifts if I could. I have grand hopes of always doing a better job than I do, but I just am not good at it. Are you a wrapping connoisseur? Someone tell me I'm not the only failure at wrapping.😄

On to the post! Here are five Friday favorites that have been on my radar.

Nectarine Petal by Clean Reserve

I'd say smell is probably my favorite sense, because I wholeheartedly tether people, occasions, and specific periods of my life to certain scents and smells. It's instant nostalgia. I am lucky to have received this perfume to review a while back. I originally posted about it on my Instagram, but I think it deserves a spot on my blog.

5 Songs I Have on Repeat - Spring 2025

Here are five songs that I cannot get enough of right now! In return, feel free to share some songs you're loving currently and have discovered or rediscovered. And if you happen to use Tidal, here's my profile to follow each other.

 

How Bad Do U Want Me by Lady Gaga

I legit hear why people are reminded of Taylor Swift on this one and I'm so okay with that. One of my favorite songs on Mayhem, for sure.

twilight zone by Ariana Grande

Oh man, this is a good one. Admittedly, I find Ariana's songs to be hit or miss. The ones I love, I looovvve. This is a big ol' hit to my ears.

I Can't Tell You Why by Eagles

My favorite Eagles song and I've been playing it more recently. It's so sultry. Who else out there is like me and always says the Eagles instead of the correct Eagles moniker? I just can't drop the "the". It doesn't sound right even if it is correct. Petition to have the "the" added.

Cry to Me by Solomon Burke

Any Dirty Dancing fan should be familiar with this one even if you don't listen to older songs. While it wasn't on the soundtrack, it is featured in the movie when Baby is going to visit Johnny's cabin and they dance. The vibes of this song are immaculate and timeless.

Juno by Sabrina Carpenter 

Bringing it back to current times, I cannot get enough of Juno. The lyrics are fun and the beat is catchy, not surprising in the slightest since it's Sabrina. This song makes me want a pair of fuzzy pink handcuffs!😉

 

 Have a great weekend, y'all!

Monthly Favorites - April 2025

It has been so long since I have done a monthly favorites post and I find myself to be more in my element with bringing them back. Favorites posts have always been something I not only enjoy putting together, but also reading on other blogs.
