Day 1 of 365…
Happy day number one of a new year! I’ve never been one to really believe in that “new year, new me” bull-ish, although I do like to take a new year and birthdays as resets. I believe any day of the year we can aspire to be a new and better version of ourselves! I have my own little weird quirk tho, I like to start goals on a Monday instead of in the middle of the week. If I eat badly (which usually consists of too much candy) I try to start cutting out the sugar highs the following Monday and let me tell you I will eat as…

Tis the season
Happy Holidays everyone!! Since I was a little girl my family never celebrated christmas due to religious reasons. Besides the origin, christmas is such a magical time especially for the little ones. Going to bed on christmas eve with the excitement of waking up early as a family, sitting on the floor opening presents in your pyjamas. Breakfast, lunch or dinners surrounded by all of your loved ones, some of whom we don’t get to see very often for whatever the reason. Good food, celebration of life and love. With my family, although we didn’t celebrate we always took advantage of the day to have get togethers. From my early…

This Is Us
Last night hanging out with my girlfriends, we were talking about the show “This Is Us”. For those of you who live under a rock, it’s amazing! A show about normal everyday families. None of this sugar coated, devoid of serious problems type of family but people who deal with real issues that we have nowadays. I think every episode of the first season made me cry, no joke! Now we have so many things to deal with, cancer, addiction, suicide, shootings, infertility, bullying, poverty. Very far from the days of The Brady Bunch! If you haven’t seen it and you are planning to… major spoiler alert! Stop reading now!!…

UGH IDIOT!
Do you ever feel like such an idiot? Well i’m sure you do like I do, time to time. If you’re like me, you dwell in your feelings, go over and over it in your head. Not good! Ugh today I feel like a big idiot, for a lot of reasons.. Lessons I haven’t learned yet or took me too long to learn. Things I have done that were embarrassing and I wish I could take back (i’m sure we all have many of those) Believing in things that I wanted to think were true but weren’t. Stuffing my bra in eighth grade and everyone in the cafeteria seeing the…

*Reflection*
This past week, I have had time to reflect on my life up to this date. Word that comes to mind is strength! I recently turned thirty four, that was a big birthday for me! I’m sure many of you are like me and have a “scary” age. For many a personal reason… you’ll feel old, your life isn’t exactly where you want it to be or maybe just the number itself. Many emotional reasons of your own. Mine is thirty five! So turning the year before my scary age was a little daunting. I have never been the type of person who cares about a number or where my…

Love, you!
I have just recently visited Nova Scotia. I’ve been all around the world and only thirty four years later did I decide to travel across my country. Canada is beautiful, so earthy and full of different shades of green! It was lovely. Minus traumatizing my dog with the fifteen hour drive, the poor thing. He’s all good but slept for 2 whole days when we got back. Whenever I travel I always take the time to evaluate my life while staring out at the ocean, during the long scenic drive or just walking around new cities. So many different landscapes, so many different people. We all have one main goal…

Daring Greatly…
Oh the joy’s of a broken laptop! When you’re a writer, being without your laptop is TORTURE… Seriously! Although I do still love pen to paper but writing a blog on an Ipad is just not the same, hence the length of time since my last post. I’m sure I have spoken before about my deep love for Oprah, my soul sister as I like to call her. I wanted to start this year fresh with no self brought on stress but starting a new career has kind of deterred that from happening, only natural I guess. Not too long ago, while watching Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday (the name speaks…

Come on, now!!
Having a social platform like this website, i’m lucky enough to shed some insight on things that mean a lot to me, my loved ones or anyone else going through any of the subjects like the ones I write about. It’s a great way to share personal experiences, educate others on stuff they might not have known, make someone happy or feel like they’re not alone. Even just letting me vent my thoughts! This subject i’m going to talk about is something that has made me wonder most of my life and i’ve never really found the true answer to it. Being a hair stylist for so long and having…

Relationship Goals!
Yesterday was my amazing parents thirty fifth wedding anniversary.. Wow thirty five years! It’s so rare nowadays for a marriage to survive even 10 years. The divorce rate is now at 50%, that means only half of marriages last… how sad is that?! I have never been that little girl who dreamt of her wedding day when I was a kid. Never hung a pillow case on my head pretending it was a veil. Never planned out a 100 plus person wedding, thought of what colour scheme or dress I wanted but I did always want to be with one person for the rest of my life! Marriage was something…

Good Samaritans!!
Happy weekend y’all! So these past two weeks made my heart very full of warm and fuzzies! I always talk about how we should all try to be the best person we can be and how this world is so beautiful, but sometimes full of darkness. At times I get discouraged with thoughts of “Where is the love?” It makes me sad to see how some people can be so evil and mean, but I know there are many people out there who are not. Well within the last week I’ve had two great examples of how no matter how bad some people can be, there are truly some amazingly…
