9am. No snow. Skipper goes out for her first pee of the day with no jacket. Success. I'm proud of us both. Noon. Maybe an inch wherever it isn't just melting. Skipper asks me to go out (a win), I notice (another win), and she pees outside while wearing a thin coat. There's enough snow … Continue reading An April Snowstorm
Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
I don't review books, tv shows, or films anymore because I hate saying bad things about them, but I still want to share some great finds. So, after a year which has allowed me to consume more art than usual, I have come up with a list of my favourites. Books: I did not read … Continue reading Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
I Got My Hair Permed
Back at in September, I won a free "do-anything-you-want-with-your-hair" from a salon. Suggestions included a cut and dye, but I'm an actor and I prefer for my hair to remain its natural colour, so instead, in late October, I went and got a perm. I had never before dyed or permed my hair, and it … Continue reading I Got My Hair Permed
What I Wore: A Red Carpet Event
Back in November I attended my first feature film premiere for a film I did back in 2017. The film still isn't out yet, but who cares about that when you can see what I wore on the red carpet instead? So on the day of the premiere, I was helping a couple of friends … Continue reading What I Wore: A Red Carpet Event

In the beginning, I sort of depended on the work left over from Super Roommates to get myself out of bed and feel productive. When that ran out, I started working on my novel, although that was … Continue reading Staying Motivated in a Pandemic
Workouts That Work
I've been trying out different ways of working out recently. The gym doesn't work for me. I go there, I watch Netflix on the elliptical for an hour, do a few floor exercises that I do at home anyway, and I leave. It's not fun for me, I don't see any progress, and I'm probably … Continue reading Workouts That Work
My Trinket Wall
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
