Good morning! Happy Canada Day, my friends! We’ve recently been adding some small ticket items to our home to give it a nice fresh feel. I have ALWAYS loved houseplants and the use of greenery to add life to a room. In psychology, they teach us that the color green is actually a calming color and can help to reduce stress. I’ve also learned that … Continue reading A Few New Additions to Our Home
It’s 8:30 am, and I’m surprisingly not running behind this morning. I’ve already worked out, showered, had my coffee, and I’m entering into mirror time. This stage of the get ready process usually goes 1 of 2 ways. I’m either running so late that my mind lets me off the hook and allows my 15th alarm to raise my anxiety levels… Or things are going … Continue reading When mornings bring up all of the awkward things I’ve ever done in my entire life
Taylor’s trip to Toronto has taken us to about 5 different coffee shops thus far, and we’re not even sorry! Yesterday, we spent the day in downtown Whitby and stumbled upon its newest espresso bar – Brock Street Espresso. I had been watching the countdown on their instagram leading up to their opening day, so I was very excited to try out the place. It … Continue reading Exploring Whitby’s New Local Businesses on Brock Street

I think … Continue reading What I’m Reading this January
It’s January 1st and I feel unstoppable. I feel weightless. I feel free. I feel like I’m already flying, and the journey is just beginning. I guess I should *buckle up for take off* because 2019, I’m here. For the first time in my life, I’m starting the year without a long list of things I want to change. I’m so ready for this year … Continue reading A (new) New Years perspective and why I won’t be making resolutions this year

Good morning, It has been socially acceptable to play Christmas music for almost a month. Trees are decorated in all kinds of glitter and glam. Families are frantically searching shopping malls for the best gifts for their loved ones. And you feel alone. Hot chocolate is brewing and Starbucks is killing the Christmas drink game this year. The festivals and Christmas markets are around every … Continue reading A letter to the one who’s a little nervous about the holidays this year
Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations 🌴☀️ – Don’t think I’m cool; I didn’t make that up. I read it on Pinterest once and it stuck with me. – So the people say “Hindsight is 20/20,” and I can agree with that. Looking back at my little roadmap of life, I probably could have taken fewer wrong turns and avoided some crashes on the … Continue reading Difficult Roads Often Lead to Beautiful Destinations
I’m writing this as I sit in my car, just minutes after it happened because I want to share this story while I still feel the incredible effects of someone’s ridiculous kindness and they changed everything I’ve ever believed about swimsuit shopping.
