Apps
Apps I actually use to stay organized, inspired, or entertained.
I love being able to track symptoms, menstrual cycle, chiro & dentist visits, medication & vitamins, heart rate, activity and water intake, all in one place.
Guava Health
This is so customizable, I have tried many different ways of using the app and am finding so many of the features helpful in organizing my life and helping me stay on top of ADHD symptoms.
TickTick
I use this for personal, work and volunteer time tracking. It shows me where I spend my time and how often I am at different locations.
Life Cycle - Track your time automatically
I used this years ago when I drove in the GTA a lot, it was great. I moved up North and there were a lot less users. Redownloaded in 2025 and there are a ton of users here in Sudbury and it is awesome to be kept up to date about sink/pot holes, new c...
Driving directions, live traffic & road conditions updates
Great app to just inform yourself about your eating/drinking habits. I find in ministry I get busy and then taking care of myself slips, so tracking it makes me pay attention to myself to keep me healthy and able to serve.

We use Planning Center for our Church management system, I love it, and they just made an app with everything combined into one sleek dashboard and it's amazing.
Planning Center

Solid easy to find coffee, found in every store and reliable to get a good cup of coffee no matter what batch or machine you're using.
Roasted in Canada. – Kicking Horse Coffee - Canada
Delicious, the old location has been torn down, so you have to know which local stores are currently stocking them.
Old Rock Roastery
I miss in store David's Tea, but the online store or finding them in Independents/Superstores are the same quality and have a ton of flavour options.

My everyday, drink more water cup.
40oz Tumbler
Hot coffee on the go, has never spilled (when I remember to close the lid)

Lunch Bags
Food & Drink
My go-to snacks, treats, and pantry staples that I reach for again and again.

Zero Sugar Diet Pepper
Free of most allergens, all it contains is whey and it is so smooth.
LeanFit Whey Protein
I love Honey Nut Cheerios, but they use Almonds as a flavouring/colouring and it would kill me. These oat ones are safe and taste just like I remember from breakfast before school.

Do you work in Ministry? Doe you make yourself coffee, then get pulled into two side meetings, a quest for a lost item and then get back to cold coffee? Same girl. Husband got me a coffee mug warmer, incredible. Coffee is hot, I can be pulled into a ...
SWEETFULL Coffee Mug Warmer with Timer
I use my Cricut for tons of personal and church projects. I am open to trying some other cutters in the future, but the Cricut at it's price point and ease of use is a greta intro for people wanting to make things for church or home.

I have very straight hair, one time a hairdresser said she hated it cause she had to keep brushing it because it's so fine that it would tangle between brushing and cutting. This brush stopped a lot of hair loss and pulls through tangles gently.
