Crush and Covet

Crush and Covet to Help See Us To Our Goals

By //  by Katja Wulfers

As January comes to a close, the challenge is to maintain our steam for 2017's goals and carry a new year's enthusiasm into the next months. Making choices that help us lead healthier, simpler, and happier lives goes a long way towards staying enthusiastic when all we want to do is flop on the couch under a blanket and hide from the world.  Jennifer Pitt - Like everyone else in the free world, I have decided to renew my love for the feeling I get AFTER going to the gym, …

Crush and Covet: Champagne, Yogis & the Walking Dead

By //  by Katja Wulfers

Nowhere but in Pleasantville will you find a more mixed bag (of nuts) than the people who write here and who contribute crush-worthy list items like alcohol, bendy, tasty men, and paraphernalia for your standard Walking Dead obsession. We like to offer variety.  Laureen Farnam - We have been revelling in a really beautiful extended Fall here in Nova Scotia. There have been lots of sunny days and temperatures have pretty much remained above zero. It is chilly enough early …

Crush and Covet: Mascara, Salt Blocks & Air Chairs

By //  by Candace Sampson

Sometimes we share things we covet from afar, pining for the unattainable, and other times we share something we're crushing on because we speak from personal experience. This way you have our Genuine Seal of LIP Approval — we don't really have a seal at Life in Pleasantville, but if we did there would be a big rubber stamp mark on this whole post. Anyway... If you have inside info on anything we're crushing on, please let us know. We always appreciate justification for what …

Crush and Covet: Mutts, Farm Tables & Music

By //  by Candace Sampson

We're nothing if not a covetous bunch around here, but we're mostly reasonable about it. You don't see us asking for private jets to take us around the world, or a cure for wrinkles, or access to cheese that doesn't cost the same as a small mortgage payment. What we like to share is attainable for a lot of us. So, which ones of these makes your list this week? Laureen Farnam - I don’t know how I've lived my life this long without knowing about The Purple Store. If I write a …

Crush and Covet: Steaks, Serum & Skirts

By //  by Candace Sampson

There are two seasons in most parts of Canada: winter and summer. In theory we have four, but with El Ninjo and the polar ice caps melting and the Pollen Storm of 2015 (ACHOO!) messing with our closet space and patience levels, we're down to two. We flew from winter to summer in the course of 24-hours and now it's time to take care of our skin, uncover our legs, and brush off the squirrel nests from the BBQ. Candace Derickx - I was at a conference recently and a friend let me try …
