My favourite thing to do at the ROM during my volunteer shifts is look at the beehive and explain it to people. Since we got the new hive in a few weeks ago, the whole section has become immensely more fascinating. I am not a bug or insect person whatsoever, but those bees, THOSE BEES! They get to me.

When my brother graduated grade 8, his teacher gave him the famous Dr Seuss book, Oh The Places You’ll Go! I thought it was only fitting that yesterday when unnecessarily browsing Winners, I found a box of notecards with that exact message on them. I always liked the book because it seemed to encourage new possibilities without outright telling you what to do. It’s all up to you 🙂 Continue reading

Sunday evening I spent awhile sifting through old photos and I came across a folder called “creative genius”. It contained pictures of various DIYs that I did when I first started blogging years ago and clearly thought myself a savant.

Thursday was my 23rd birthday. Naturally, about two weeks ago, the day after my last university exam, I had a breakdown. I realized that I was so lost and unprepared and more or less scared, nothing new. It was a bad week. But if the last few days have shown me anything it’s that I’m so incredibly blessed and not knowing is okay. Continue reading
Hola all! I took these photos before I went salsa dancing with my friend and her friends last night. I was a tad dressy for a Monday night in my sparkly sequin snakekin skirt but oh well. I also didn’t end up wearing it tied because I couldn’t get it to look like how it does in the photo. But it was a nice night 🙂 Continue reading
