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
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
For Now
Last week Monday, I went to a theatre audition. I'll spare you the suspense—I didn't get it. But I ran into a few people I'd gotten to know since joining the industry, and one of them said to me, "I see you in, like, everything." This was surprising, and really nice for me to hear. … Continue reading For Now
I Plotted Two Novels Today
I was supposed to be editing after I got home from some meetings last night, but instead I looked up a few articles about plotting—and, more specifically, about plotting an ending—and then the end of SC (my big bad book) popped into my head. “But Ivy,” you might say, “didn’t you finish the first draft … Continue reading I Plotted Two Novels Today
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
Room Tour
I finally did what I said I'd do and made a room tour! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7-MkK-Ggd8 I think I'm done. I'm happy with it. All of it. That's the first time since moving in that I've been able to say that. My room at its most basic is very monochromatic with blacks, whites, and greys. Mostly cooler-toned … Continue reading Room Tour
Re-Introducing Myself
I broke a record last month: The fewest blog posts posted in a single month since I started. It was two. Pitiful. Anyway, I've had an influx of new followers, and assuming most of you aren't bots, I think I'll do a little introduction. Hello! My name is Ivy. Here is what I look like: … Continue reading Re-Introducing Myself
My First Rant (About Everything)
My computer is getting slower by the day and it is driving my crazy. Also driving me crazy? My room. I don't have a chair for my desk so I have to bend over to use my laptop which is uncomfortable and probably bad for me. I have stuff all over the floor in an … Continue reading My First Rant (About Everything)
High, from Paris
I love heights. Am I afraid of them? Sure, I guess I have that healthy dose of fear that tells me to step away from an edge. But it never stops me from getting as close to the edge as possible. In fact, I don’t think I would love heights so much if I didn’t … Continue reading High, from Paris
My First Trip to Winchester
The first of my many journeys between Winchester and home was...an adventure. I wrote it all down a while back, and now it's today's Saturday Story! Hope you like it. I took this picture. It turned out perfect. I arrived in London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 with a shoulder bag that was way too heavy, a … Continue reading My First Trip to Winchester
