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
Polo, Psycho, and Ghost Towns
Mornings here in Calgary have been gloomy these last few days. I've noticed this because my room at my mom's house hasn't got curtains yet and the sun shines directly in my face, waking me up on non-gloomy mornings. These gloomy ones, however, I'm able to sleep through. I managed to keep myself pretty busy … Continue reading Polo, Psycho, and Ghost Towns
The End of Summer
If you were expecting daily blog posts from Vietnam like I usually do for my trips, I'm sorry to disappoint. This trip I decided I'd film vlogs instead, and now my arms are muscly from holding up cameras all month. At first I thought I'd be able to blog as well, but found at the … Continue reading The End of Summer

I'm on my way to Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam, where I will rendezvous with my … Continue reading From an Airport
Thoughts on Honesty
I never really considered myself an honest person. I've been thinking about the traits I was proud of when I was younger. The ability to lie convincingly and without shame was one of them. Obviously, it isn't exactly something someone should be proud of, but I was a good liar and it protected me. So yes, I … Continue reading Thoughts on Honesty
Living
I had a bad day last week. The worst in a while, with a bunch of different not-fun things coming together all in that one day. And I discovered something amazing. Despite my best efforts and my repeated mentions of not wanting to get tied down to Calgary, in my so-called "darkest hour", I found … Continue reading Living
Winter 2018 Makeup Haul
This haul is a collection of makeup I've accrued since Christmas. Some were gifts, some I bought for myself. Some I love, some not so much. NARS Concealer This was just a replacement of my emptied one. I've tried other concealers but always end up coming back to this. NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick in Black … Continue reading Winter 2018 Makeup Haul
Outfit of the Week: Bodysuit Bombshell
Calgary has found itself in another deep freeze. January can be dreary like that. I think one of the best ways to beat the dreariness is by looking good. I subscribe to the idea that if you look good, you feel good. So in cold weather, what better way to stay warm than to look smoking … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: Bodysuit Bombshell
