Cocktails are looking a little different these days. 😅 Introducing: my menopause margarita. Also known as… Spa Water. 🍋

Are you going through perimenopause or menopause too? Follow @fraicheliving and comment MENOPAUSE, I’ll send you my latest update.

Here’s how to make my favourite spa water. All you need is:

• One big pitcher of water (yes, I’ve been toting this around the house like it’s my own personal water bottle)

• Collagen + electrolytes (optional, but I love them)

• Fresh citrus + fruit

• Lots of ice

Add your water and any supplement powders first (if you’re using them) and mix well. Then add your citrus, fruit, and ice. Let it sit so the flavours intensify. Sip it slowly, refill your glass, and repeat. Pretend it’s happy hour.

Girls gone mild 😂 Save this post for the next time you’re in a battle with a hot flash… and it’s winning.

And this was after I cleaned it…
My biggest bathroom renovation regret? White grout on small tile (in a BIG space)😩

I was warned. Multiple people told me it would be a nightmare to keep clean. And did I listen? Absolutely not. I fell in love with the hexagon marble penny tile and thought “how bad could it really be?”

The answer is: VERY bad.

The tile itself? Still obsessed. The white grout? My arch nemesis. If I could go back, I’d choose literally any other grout color and save myself hours of futile scrubbing on my hands and knees trying to keep it looking ‘fresh’.

So here’s my PSA: if you’re considering small tile for your bathroom floor, learn from my mistake and skip the white grout. Future you will thank me 😅

Want to see the full bathroom reveal, all my favourite features (like the clawfoot tub I begged for), and more details on what I’d do differently? Comment “reno” and I’ll send you the link!

What’s your biggest home reno regret? Let’s commiserate in the comments 👇

Valentine’s Day might be over, but you NEED to save this hack for your next at-home date night or dinner party. 🕯️

You can set the table, light the candles, tie the bow… and then one leans to the side like it’s had a long day and ruins the vibe. 😅

If your taper candles wobble or won’t sit straight, this tiny trick keeps them perfectly secure in seconds. No stress or balancing acts required.

This is one of those small hosting details that instantly makes everything feel more polished and intentional.

Charles and I have gone to couples counselling on and off for years.

Sometimes we book a few sessions when something feels heavy. Sometimes it’s just a check in when things are starting to feel tense. We’ve learned the hard way that letting things simmer quietly never ends well. Resentment doesn’t disappear on its own. It just waits.

What counselling has given us isn’t a perfect marriage. It’s perspective.

When you have a neutral person in the room (ours is Henry), you start to see what’s underneath the reaction. The armour softens. You realize you’re not enemies. You’re two people who both want to feel heard and safe.

Assuming positive intent sounds simple. But it’s not. Especially when you’re tired, stressed, or stuck in your own narrative. But choosing to believe your partner isn’t out to hurt you literally changes everything.

For Charles and I, marriage has been the daily decision to act in ways that move us toward each other instead of away. I mean, most of the time. We have our days lol.

Getting help doesn’t mean something is completely broken. Sometimes it just means you care enough to protect what you’ve built.

I’d love to see more openness around this - why the stigma? If you’ve ever considered it, this is your gentle nudge.

Let’s normalize strengthening our marriages the same way we strengthen everything else in life. Like protein ....for marriage?!

You in?

For years, I equated busy with productive. Every single minute… filled. Every box checked. It looked good on paper. But my friends… it felt exhausting in real life.

Turns out the answer wasn’t doing more (my business coach called me out years ago that I have a habit of equating value with volume, and I can’t unhear that). What I needed was a better rhythm that gave me a chance to actually breathe. Go figure.

Small pauses throughout the day.
Fresh air in the mornings.
Putting pen to paper instead of a screen to my face first thing.
Elevating everyday moments instead of waiting for “someday.” (fancy perfume, I’m looking at you)
Coming back to the table with my family.

These little re-leaf moments help me slow down just enough to feel clear, grounded, and present again. And they’re the moments where Pure Leaf Iced Tea fits so naturally; smooth, refreshing, and made with high-quality ingredients. A simple pause feels so good.

Lately, a successful day isn’t measured by how much I fit in. It’s measured by how it felt. Sometimes the biggest shift comes from slowing down and doing less, not cramming more into every second of the day. Who else is in the season of slowing down?

Skip the reservations... host a wine tasting night at home instead. 🍷🌹

Grab a few bottles you’ve been wanting to try, throw together some simple pairings (trust me, ritz + chardonnay is chef’s kiss), and call your people over. No fancy setup needed... just a roll of brown paper, good wine, easy snacks, and zero stress.

Bonus: you get to stay in the comfort of your own home and not fight for parking. Make sure you’re following @fraicheliving for more hosting ideas that actually feel doable. ❤️
