This is sort of a continuation of my last post, Room Makeover: A Personal Touch. So check that out first, if you want. Since I first left for England for university, before I even began this blog, I've kept little things. When I started, I thought I might scrapbook them or something, but turns out … Continue reading My Trinket Wall
Room Makeover: A Personal Touch
When I last updated you guys on my room at my mom's, it was in this post. Well, I've made a few changes since, and I think this is as close to done as it'll ever get. And you know what? I like it. For my workspace, I got my desk from Ikea during their … Continue reading Room Makeover: A Personal Touch
Outfit of the Week: BossLady
They say you gotta dress for the job you want, so when I went to the job fair that ended up leading to my new job, I took that to heart. This is what I wore: That's me trying really hard to look good with all my makeup rubbed off from the course of the … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: BossLady
A Day in Kananaskis
I've gotta say, filming vlogs every day for my month in Vietnam last summer was one of the best things I could have done in order to learn vlogging and figure out my new camera. On Saturday my dad and I went to Kananaskis for a little day trip. My camera skills have improved greatly … Continue reading A Day in Kananaskis
Reading Goals
via Reading Goals It's a bit late for announcing the year's reading goals, I realize, but I only came up with mine TODAY so actually, they're quite prompt in the grand scheme. When people talk reading goals, their first goal is always a numbered one. How many books are they planning to read per week, … Continue reading Reading Goals
Montreal Lox Bagel
If you've been around long enough to remember my trip to Montreal in 2017 (or click here if you haven't), you might remember me raving about the bagels I had at a Montreal bagel institution. I went there twice for bagels over the course of my trip, once to sit in, once to go, because … Continue reading Montreal Lox Bagel
A Controversial Christmas
TW: Discussion around rape. There was some controversy this year in Canada when a radio station/broadcasting company "banned" the song "Baby It's Cold Outside". I put "banned" in quotes because choosing not to play a song isn't really banning it, otherwise I'd have been banning a song every time I chose "next song" when my … Continue reading A Controversial Christmas
Broke and Happy
Okay, when I said I'd finish 2018 "broke and happy" in my last post, I did NOT mean for the universe to take that as a challenge. What a day I've had. I was up early (compared to usual) so I could take my car to the mechanic for her checkup. Yes, she's a her. … Continue reading Broke and Happy
Room Makeovers Without Money
I recently read a great article "Minimalism is Just Another Boring Product Wealthy People Can Buy" which raised some great points about how minimalism and nice decor are out of reach for most people, and it got me thinking. The rooms and dorm rooms I've decorated over the last five years, could I have done … Continue reading Room Makeovers Without Money
Nearly Nine Years
When I approached the counter of the Starbucks I'm currently writing this from, the barista, Michelle, greeted me by name. This Starbucks is across the city from where I live, so this was slightly concerning. However, it's five minutes from Heritage Park where I've been going to rehearsal five times a week for the last … Continue reading Nearly Nine Years
