Navigating Life’s Transitions at 35 It has literally been years since I have written a blog post. The last post I did was a 2021 round-up similar to this post, where I reviewed all the lessons I learned. So why now? My attention span is at an all-time low, I have a constant need to multi-task and my best friend reminded me the main reason I started my blog was to share all of my travel experiences. Nothing brings me more joy than introducing my friends to new restaurants or offering them travel advice; I get second-hand excitement for them. So, you have heard it here first, my Nashville post…

Yearly Roundup & Goal Setting for 2022
I am sharing all my wins and lessons from 2021. And for 2022 the goals that I set and my new years resolutions. 2021 Roundup What a year 2021 it has been. I have mixed emotions, the year felt endless, yet gone in a flash! In 2020 I tried something different and I put together a list of some of my favorite personal development tools. Mostly because I was disappointed at the lack of “goals” I actually achieved. If I had to choose a word to describe 2020, it would be restorative. It was time to slow down, do less, and learn to nest at home. How Far I Have…

10 Things I Learned About Myself in 2020
I spent a lot of time alone in 2020 and I learnt a lot about me! Understanding my behaviours, skills and values help me improve my bad habits and understand my triggers. I have also applauded myself for being very self-aware and coachable. Although I don’t like change, I am open to it. I am constantly searching for ways to improve my connections, improve my skillset, or work on myself. I have done quite a few annual wrap-ups over the years, but I’m sure it is fairly boring for me to expect complete strangers to be inspired by my goals, so this year, I decide to share all the personal…

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions that I am commonly asked about Vancouver, travel, my beauty routine, and where to buy all my essentials. Although I love getting DMs, I thought it may be a useful resource to do a round-up of FAQs just in case some of you are too shy to ask. Of course, I am always happy to elaborate further, and if it didn’t make the list, feel free to send me a message. I am always happy to help, as long as you aren’t trying to get me to join your multi-level marketing business. Where in Vancouver, BC is this swing? Believe it or not, I get this question at least…

This is 32
No one has been waiting for it but I am writing it anyways. One year after my break up, surviving COVID times and new beginnings. I did a round up post when I was about to turn thirty, which I just re-read and surprisingly I stand by my advice. I know it is only two years ago, but I really thought it would be cringeworthy. The only thing I would change is aesthetic, my photo skills/retrieving stock photo has improved. Black Lives Matter Around the time of my birthday the black lives matters movement broke out. I felt like it was an inappropriate time to push any of my own…

New Moon Ritual
An easy guide to performing your own new moon ritual and why it is important One of my resolutions in 2019 was to get more personal on my blog. I shared my break up, my struggles with figuring out my career and my uncomfortable dating moments. It only seemed like a natural progression, that I share my shameful and humourous obsessions with astrology, psychics, and tarot card readings. So, I confess that I look up my prospective partners on MyLoveCal, I check my Costars daily and I perform new moon rituals. I get made fun of for it, I believe everything happens for a reason and that things always work…

Staying Healthy in Quarantine
All my tips and tricks to stay active and healthy during COVID-19 Times I was doing barre classes every day, biking anywhere I needed to go and I intermittent fasting so I thought for sure I was nailing my COVID-19 routine. I was wrong, I went to put on my levis shorts from last summer and man were they tight! I think I may have gotten a little too relaxed with my diet and my drinking habits. Whoops! The last few weeks, I have been tightening things up so hopefully, when they let us all out, I will still fit in the majority of my clothes comfortably. Morning Routine Having…

My Top Five Dating Disasters
The wild ride of dating apps and all the entertaining but terribly wrong dates I have been on. My dating journey has been interesting, to say the least. I do have a lot of guilt, somehow when you are in your twenties your friends and family could care less about who you are dating, but once you hit thirty the pressure is on, to put yourself out there and actually make an effort. And when I say effort, I mean effort. Swiping, texting for months, scheduling dates, rescheduling dates, fitting them into your schedule and then doing the whole process all over again. Dating is a full-time job and some…

Social Distancing: 30 ways to occupy your time
I will be the first to admit that it is my nature to minimize, so when I first heard about COVID-19, I wasn’t taking it seriously. Fast-forward literally like three days later, and I am on board with total lockdown. Although, I am usually a busy body with little to no downtime, being asked to stay home has almost made me resent the much needed time to relax, recharge and do my best not to share any germs. I thought I would share my suggestions for beating cabin fever. Spring cleaning – organize your closet, post old clothes on Poshmark or empty out your junk drawers. I always feel good…

Goal Setting for 2020
What a year! I would like to say that 2019 was rough, but it has really been a transformative year. It was a struggle but I have come out of it stronger and I continue to learn and grow from all my experiences. I really wanted to take the time to celebrate my wins of 2019, my tough life lessons and what I need to take into account for the following year. 2019 Recap I was a little bit worried when I went to read over my goals from last year, but I was pleasantly surprised. As I look back on 2019, it may have felt traumatic but I was…
