You know, it's been a while since I've written a good old, let's-catch-up, blog post. I think I'll write one now. I like to say I'm busy, but most of my day is actually taken up sleeping. My body clock is set on Australia time, which is not great when I'm in Canada. I'm trying … Continue reading My Summer So Far
For the long weekend, my dad went on a trip and my siblings stayed at my mom's house. I lost my phone and I had no car. Basically, I spent over 96 hours home alone except for my dog Foxy and a minnow my little brother caught at the lake last week. Sad, right?

And then I found an alternative: my backyard! Here is my … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: Simply Summery
I've been watching entirely too much Parks and Recreation lately. (It's a good show. I highly recommend it.) Anyway, there's one episode where a couple of the characters take a day to treat themselves and throughout the episode they're telling each other to "Treat Yo Self!" That sounded great to me, so I decided to … Continue reading Treat Yo Self!
This is not a how-to article, so if that's what you're looking for I suggest you keep looking. If I'm honest, I've been putting off painting my room for one simple reason: it makes me nervous. What if it looks bad? What if I spill paint everywhere? Even today as I put primer over what used to … Continue reading Painting A Closet
So this is long overdue, but my dad took my siblings and me to the annual rodeo in town which you probably guessed from the title, is called the Calgary Stampede. If you've never heard of it, it happens in my hometown and goes for ten days every July. There are rides, games, and food … Continue reading Calgary Stampede!
