Weekend Bliss

What is your weekend regime?

I try to always leave a little time to relax-some weekends its more time than others.
This weekend was a opportunity for a lot of relaxing time and I decided to spend most of it bundled up with one of my favourite shows " The Office". I have a bunch of the seasons but decided to re-watch from the beginning.

 Here are some of my all time fav scenes!






Sorry for some of them being bad quality.

I also spent some time pampering by going to get a mini-facial at The 10 Spot and a mani on friday night. Sometimes you just need a little self care to feel our best.

Happy Monday!

All That Sparkles

I've been battling a nasty cold over the past few days, I finally came out of my hidden bed cave today to head to work but regretted it halfway on the streetcar ride in.

I despise novemeber because it usually means cold weather, sickness and a lack of inspiration for fun clothes. Mainly I'm bored of my wardrobe and then general styling I've done with it. I continually look at magazines, books, websites, etc for inspiration so hopefully something will click soon.

For today.. I just look at all that glitters.

Inspiration come find me soon!

Keep walking on the rope

Its Friday! Wooo

To begin here is something that is making me laugh this am:



You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd- haha!

I've been looking forward to this weekend for a while- plans include a visit to a old friend and some get dance party time. Sadly a recent cold has taken haven on my body but I am stocking up on tea, vitamin c and any other meds to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Reflections from the week: This week was wayy to busy, I'm glad it went by fast but I felt pretty stressed to get things ready for big projects at work, school and sleep time. Looking forward I may need to plan my weeks a bit ahead of time.

And to finish up your friday- how about a little Ryan Gosling .... now there is a guy I could day-dream about for hours.

Cheers to the weekend!

Perspective

I admit.. sometimes my scope of what's right, wrong and down-right fucked up can be a tad unbalanced.

That's why I always poll as many friends/family as possible to help bring me back to reality. This week has got me jumping all over the place to lots of meetings and discussions at work, school assignments, theatre and concert nights, association meetings and prepping for a besties 25th.

So sometimes in the mist of all that my mind can get a bit tangled and pieces start flying off. This is usually when I bring up random topics to the wrong person when really I have important stuff to touch base with them about.

What's the point of this post... well must to the topic- I think I've lost my train of thought! haha.

Much to come, but for now... LMFAO!

You have a soul

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face and this song in my head:



A weekend of mixed friends, laziness, cleaning, hair dying and styling baking and fashion reading has somewhat prepped me for a crazy week.

Keeping grounded is my mantra for the week. I sometimes easily get caught up in the little trips in the road and forget to see the whole picture.

Maybe some of the fumes from my 4 hour hair appointment have gone to me head..... or I just finally feel organized in my home and work and thus feel organized in my mind.

Beautiful awesome world- it's going to be a adventurous week!

Spinning so fast

Winter is on its way- boo. I can feel it.

I always find with a change to season my whole body and mind decides to go into survival mode and no one comes out happy. So this year, I vowed to myself to not go totally into hibernation mode and instead be ready!

Here's a run down of what I've done thus far:

Fall Cleaning
After the busy period of move in and September at my work, my room/apartment can become a hazard zone of stuff everywhere, and no one hates clutter more than me.

So this year I planned ahead, and began a de-junking process a few weeks earlier by going through my various spaces in my apartment.

My closet was a weekend on its own- piles of boxes of things I no longer use, need and/or work.

The bathroom took a while too- this presented me with products that lets be serious never did the job they promised and things I brought from our old place 3 years ago and still never used. Goodbye!

The more recent purge resolved around my ever-growing magazine collection. Now I love bad tabloid's and woman's magazines as much as the next gal, but I seemed to have convince myself that a past issue of the preparation of kim kardiashian's wedding ( and we all know how well that turned out) will somehow benefit me in the future.

So... I took the jump and I de-junked the magazines like mad! I cut out pictures that inspired me in fashion, home decor, some hot men ( who doesnt need that on a vision board :p) I ended up with pages upon pages of inspiration.

Wow.

That will teach me to leave the dejunking until the piles of magazine have doubled all over my room.

Stay tuned for following posts to see what else I have done to prepare for the depressing change of season. :(

Till the next time.

Lovely day

Hello World.

I am back. I took some time of writing for a number of reasons: work got busy, I didn't have the energy and really didn't have things to discuss. Sometimes when times are tough its better to just sit back for a bit and I am sooo glad I did.

So the hope is to keep back on track writing here and keeping myself accountable about some strong chances to be made in my life lately- mainly changing my life to incorporate far more health, exercise and balance.

It begins with realizing how lucky we are to be here on this earth and not taking that for granted. So next time- take a moment. Sip that coffee slowly and enjoy the taste, smell, warmth in your mouth. Pay attention to your body, the sound of walking on pavement in clicking shoes, how a old favourite tune can bring you back to a fond memory, how good you sleep after cleaning your sheets.

Peaceful views on a recent trip to the Rockies.

 The little things matter the most.

With that I leave you with my song of the week: Bill Withers- Lovely Day ( its one of my favourite songs to listen to when I need a little reminder about how wonderful this world is)



Love it all.

I hate you

I hate you


..... for the way you make me feel when you do the smallest thing

......for the way you make me question myself

......because important moments in my life involve you

......for being the jerk you always have been

......for letting me believe that we could be friends

......for doing things for no reason that make me feel worse

.......for pulling be back in your world right when I'm finally out and fine

.......for being you

25

So my hiatus is over and I think i've started to see a new outlook with the recent struggles I have for the most part overcome.

Its been a busy season at work and in my personal life and I can finally see the end of the tunnel with this weekend as a time to breathe, reflect and move foward.

I turned 25 last weekend and although I didn't believe it- in some ways feel different.

I've worked hard over the past year to set some strong career goals but I seem to have forgotten about that whole other part of my life that is not about work. Health, Life, Balance, Community Involvement and Personal Goals and that my friends is what my 25th year will be about.

Here are a few highlights of the things I want to accomplish:

1. Get physically healthy! These past few weeks have shown that lack of exercise and good real food doesn't work with my body. Long term goals for me include one day being a fitness instructor.... :S maybe... but if I don't get healthy myself that dream is not going to happen. Maybe I will even run a marathon at some point, who knows? Gotta start this one small.

2.Volunteer more! There are a million things I take away from my friend Becky's adventure with Roadtrip with Reason but the BIG one is that I need to get more involved in my own community- not sure what i'm going to do yet ( any suggestions?) but something that makes me feel good, helps others and gives me a opportunity to meet some great people!

3.Me time. I need some time for myself more, doing yoga or weekly treats of walks down harbourfront- whatever makes me feel relaxed, happy and tuned out from the world of work and crazy life.

4. Getting out there and enjoying life! I never want to look back on my 20's and think I wasted them being stressed, tired and unhappy. Its time to live my lifeee!

There are some thoughts for now- I will continue to do check ins and updates on what I am doing to ensure those wants are happening and all else.

Live, Love and learn.

Dreams in the present.

Hello world!

It has been quite some time since I have blogged.... life has gotten the best of me- between vacations and busy work periods, but I have decided its time to get back into this one.

Life lessons are fluttering in my head as I've had some time to breathe and relax. I have come to terms with some of my biggest fears and loves.

What am I talking about? I'm not quite sure yet... but soon you will all understand.

Beauty Queen

What if...
One of the most important people in your life does not feel the same way about you, that in their life you are in the top 10 or maybe even top 20 but no where near the top 5 or 1.

Would you rethink your ranking of others or rethink the moments and memories you have with this person and the sheer weight that has on your life but not theirs.

Would you continue on like nothing had changed but deep down know the difference?

Standing Strong and Tall

I have always been proud of my dad. Not a moment passes by that I haven't thought he was the perfect man. Earlier this month my dad had his change of command ceremony within his military regiment.

He has been the CO, aka the head man for just over 3 years and this was the ceremonial and celebration of his goodbye. For the first time ever, I saw my dad  almost cry twice and really express to his soldiers, friends and family the love he had for the army. I think more importantly, his soldiers, friends and family showed the love they have for him and all that he has done!

My dad: the perfect car packer.

So again I say I have always thought my dad was the perfect man, he is kind and caring, a big goof-ball, fair and serious when necessary and always makes the right decision based on how it will effect others. He goes over and beyond what needs to be done for his family and people he cares for and really shows what being a leader means.

I credit my dad for teaching me the lessons on what doing things for others will do for yourself and remember who matters most in all decisions you make, that its not about what you want or need but how it will affect the people you lead and their lives that matter most.

Love you dad- today, tomorrow and every day after that.

Live and Breathe it.

A important person in my life once said to me : " Be all you think you can be... and more".  I keep that close to my heart for lots of reasons. It pushes me to try my hardest and a little bit more with work, relationships and my dreams.

What do you dream of? More importantly, how will you achieve those dreams?

Maybe it's all the boy band music I've been listening to lately... :S (awkward) but maybe it's also me feeling a bit more inspired that usual, focused and ready.

So with that i'm going to write down some real hard tangible goals on here tomorrow and invite you on continue with me on this journey of figuring out adulthood and who I want to be.


To help with that... here is some photos that made me smile today.

Love always,

Last Friday Night

I think the best part of getting out of a slum is the feeling. Since you have been feeling like crap for awhile it feels great to get back to normal- sunshine and happy days ;)

Ok- maybe a tad corny but I feel alive today, as if a dark cloud has finally lifted. I woke up tired but happy, getting ready took less time that usual, a deal come online for highlights I definitely need and work has flown by fast.

Not all is lost in the world lovelies. I am ready to continue my journey on weight loss.... need to get back on track and to love life the way it was supposed to be done.

Further more last week I enjoyed the NKOTBSB concert- awesome! Here is nick carter's new vid.. someone I never really had the hots for until... nowish.. ;)




Enjoy the week!

Love today

Love today and every day after. Even is life is not going your way, even if you have no idea why you are not happy, why everything on the outside is grand but inside you feel like screaming. Continue to love today.

I would be lieing not only to myself but all of you if I said I hadn't fallen off the weight watchers wagon, because I massively have. Why? Well I had a family death, busy at work, lack of sleep over the past week and a slight mini-depression when my best friend left as I always feel. So I did what old val always does- hide in my room, eat junk and shut out anyone who wanted to talk. I just didnt have the energy.


However, the sun is out and life seems slightly better today. There is a lot left in my hands lately, but its time to do it all right, but also do some stuff for me.

peace and love no matter who you are.

Human Jukebox

My friends have called me a human jukebox- because I usually have at least 10 songs in my head at one time, but also because sometimes I just bring out the most random hits.  There are times where I'm not even sure where they come from but I always seem to remember the words and the moments that connect me to those hits.

So here are some random songs that have come up lately for me :)

This randomly popped in my head when I awoke this morning, I can recall early high
school days when I listened to a lot of Eve 6... I wonder where they are now?




Who doesn't love Celine... this song is crazy-town but more so for a awkward made for tv movie, my roommmate and I once could not turn off.




NewFound Glory another old high school track- oh man.. how some of my music interests have changed so much, yet have not.



Low-Millions.. a under rated favourite of mine. They had one hit on the radio and a great album. Still in my top 20.




I'm sure people close to me will say there must be a million more up there... but that is for another day.

Slurred at me

If life is all about the lessons then where does that lead you at the end?

One thing I haven't had a moment to mention yet, is that last week I started Weight Watchers. Why? Well other than the fact I need to lose some weight for health, esthetics and to really feel comfortable in my own skin.  Its a interesting program because their idea is you can eat what you want, just with portion control and balance. So I would admit that having the long weekend at home partly derailed the project, though I do think I would have chosen some even worse options if I hadn't been on it. So I dust my feet off and start a new week- updates will be coming.



Time to dance is out ;)

Reality Bites the Dust

Great weekends must come to a end, but I wish they didn't.

I haven't had much time to write because last week felt like the world was crashing around me. Family deaths push you into this awkward situations where nothing really makes sense.  So I chose to not write since anything I did would be depressive and make you all just worry.

I think being in your childhood home makes everything better, surrounded by familiarity, friends you've had for years and the family who knows you better than anyone. Corny dad jokes when he says your his favourite daughter  ( forgetting the fact your his only daughter), rollarblading on a shoreroad path- feeling the wind in your hair and smelling the lake water just beside you and sad goodbyes which leave you sititng on a kitchen counter crying when it's all over.


Summer is here lovelies with its twists and turns.

I'm not in love

I finally did something that I've been holding back on doing for what feels like years. Shutting the door on a time in my past that I would say in some ways defines the person I am today.

Change is good. Change is freedom.

This is goodbye.

Thank you for being a friend.

Gratefulness is the theme of today. Why? Because I'm feeling particularly bitchy today with my upcoming period, lack of sleep, too much rain to even discuss and the feeling of overwhelm at work.

So I'm thankful for a lot in my life and times like this is when I need to remember it. I am lucky to have the BEST parents in the world- though I admit I don't always think so... sorry mom! I am surrounded by friends who are loving and kind and fulfill so many different needs in my life, again even if I don't always think so.

Via: we heart it

I am still learning how to let go in particular with the small stupid things, this is a definite work in progress... sorry world!

I'm thankful that dreams do come true. Especially for one Becky Colon, her Roadtrip with Reason and $5,000 from Pepis Refresh.

So although I'm maybe slightly more irritated than normal and wish I could hide in my bed and watch movies all day, not everything is at bad as it seems.

What can the world open up for you?

Hiatus

Ok so I may have taken a large hiatus over the past week and a bit. To be honest, I just had nothing to write.

Well I had things to write about but either was avoiding it as this blog is a place where I really learn and reflect and I wasn't ready to do that, plus I was just too damn busy.

Sorry team.

But I'm back in full force! Summer is almost here at work which means much less students and much more me time- thank god.

I've been very reflective lately, about what I want in my life, what makes me happy and how to get it. Especially after some events that did not turn out the way I hoped, mostly because I set myself up for disaster but sometimes you need a lil pain to figure out what's right?

Either way it's time to focus on the one and only me. I think i may re-evaluate this blog soon and my use of it and direction it should and will take.

For now I'm going to leave you with some images and video that I'm liking this week. Cheers to a great weekend with some hopeful sunshine :P

One day we will all have our prince. ;)

The way it is.

It's easy to question the decisions you make in your life but in today's post more specifically in your job. It can be difficult when decisions you make get thrown back in your face or make people feel like they need to dig their heels in the ground.

I think the most important thing I've learned over the past 2 years in my job is that you can't always make everyone happy, but as long as you make the right decision it will all work out, eventually. This week I had a staff member come and apologize for a mistake they had made in actions towards a decision I had made, and to be honest it felt good to finally get through to him on the reason why and provide some feedback for the future. Some days you do everything right.

Look at their cute faces

The best part of this is the song that came on my ipod this morning right when I was about to answer the office, it makes me realize that i'm on the right path, just got to take it day by day and stay calm and carry on.

On the Ground

Somedays you get kicked to the dirt over and over again. Yesterday quite a day like that.

So I went home.. cried a little, drank a beer, watched some grey's anatomy, cried some more and then decided that was enough. I got up today, put on some makeup, did my hair right and smiled. I realized that I'm going to be the bigger person here. So I dust off my shoulder and walk on with my head high. Not everyone will like the decisions you make and some people you may even lose along the way but I know I made the decision that was right and it's not my fault.

So I start this post with some old/bad songs and some new/encouraging song, but on a day like today they just make me smile.


Ok- Embrassing I know.. but who doesn't love a little Informer.... welll this may not be that but is a cute song from the early 2000's that I just can't let go of.




Taylor says it like it is... you will just be MEAN.



Raise your glass- One of my favourite songs to shout when I've had a bad day. :D


This is a song we use in Body Flow- it's calming, beautiful and a new favourite. Tai-Chi moment anyone?


I'm sure there are others... but this is all that comes to mind today.

Another thing on my mind lately is forgiveness and asking what you need. I was quite angry for a bit at someone and finally just let go. I realized lately that there are people I need in my life for different reasons and if i want relationships to last I need to voice my want, because lately I've felt alone without them.

Stay calm and carry on.

Fast Cars

It's Tuesday..and you know what that means?!?!?!



Body Jam Night! Dance out the stress, bad vibes and bring in the laughter, sexy body shakes and my favourite night of the week!

Do something that makes you smile this week. Last night I got off the streetcar early and decided to walk the rest of the way, picked up some fresh flowers and couldn't help but smile all the way home. The little things.

Here are some images I'm loving right now:

Fresh Starts

Life throws curve balls and your reactions shape the person you will be. So who do I want to be?

I spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about recent actions, discussions, situations and what I really want. I'm somewhat bad in ensuring I'm doing all that's good for me. Either due to work getting too crazy or trying to accommodate the needs of others. So I've decided to make some small April goals- ranging in needs.

1. Enjoying the sunshine/freedom: Weekends are a time to de-stress, relax and live in the moment. I want to ensure I am making the most of those times, yes sometimes hiding in the house, doing chores and cleaning is necessary. But also sometimes its necessary to take a morning walk around town and sit in a coffee shop for a few hours and read, or going rollar-blading or a new adventure alone. So for the month of April, I want to make sure I take the oppournity to walk around and enjoy the little things.

2. Eat what I really want and what I really need: feeding my body the food its needs to live is necessary, and yes this can accomodate things such as lattes and the once in a while baked good but should mostly consist of fresh produce, good meals and portion control :D

3. Keeping that fridge/pantry stocked: I am bad at keeping up with groceries and when having them ensuring they are used up. Time to get creative.

4.Enjoy the physical activity I do: As you may already know I love Body Jam, its fun, hard work, makes me smile and gives a high like no other. I also have been enjoying yoga and need to keep these up.  So it's time for more classes and other outlets of physical activity. Because there is some changes my not-so little body needs to make.

5. Smile more often- do what I love: Self explanatory. :D

So let's see how we do with these. 

Here is one of my favourite pictures from my trip to Scotland in '09. So pretty, can't wait to get back there.

Nevermind, I'll find someone new

Welll Hump day welcomed us with a bunch of snow this morning. :(
Global warming is here!- here are some tunes to hopefully cheer up you cold wednesday mood.


1.Empire of the Sun- Walking on a Dream
A fav of mine from a few summers back- glad it's crept back in my life.



2. Soul Decision- Faded.
Ahh a favourite of the late 90's early 00's- this song reminds me of jumping around my room as a young pre-teen dreaming of her life... who knew I would end up here.



3.Douchebag- Matt Musto
A pop-ish song with funny lyrics. Cute cute cute.



4. Horse Outside
A random awkward song... that ,makes nooo sense, but the beat is there.




And there you have my songs for this Wednesday. A mixed bags of genres and ideas... much like my life.

Start over?

Hi hotties,

Another week another dollar. I'm happy to say I am coming off a high of a great weekend- though that great feeling ended quickly when I fell on the streetcar this morning- doh!

Well soo much for my calming mediated morning-haha. How was your weekend? Hopefully you did at least one thing that made you smile.

Welcoming Monday's with complete sincereness can be difficult but just think- one day closer to another weekend ;) There is always a bright side at the end of the tunnel.

My Mantra for the week is understanding.... hmmmm my thoughts are mixed on that. In some parts of my life, I finally feel at peace and content. Others however have gone started on a roller coaster that I just don't have the heart to work through.

I'm hoping to give more time to this blog-oh blog in the next bit, as I start to come up for air within regards to work projects.

So I hope you continue on the journey with me and sorry for the lack of life in the past month.

I won't let you.

People change, life changes without us even realizing sometimes.

Ever felt like the things you related to the most just don't apply anymore, not because you've grown up or moved on...just pure change.
It just smacks you in the face and everything has shifted.

It feels difficult to say I'm a adult- I realize I am in every sense of the word but I sometimes want to just hide under my parent's wing and feel the shelter.

I've spent so much of my life not only caring what others think but also doing things based on their responses, attitudes and wishes. well fuck it.

It's clear I am the only one that really understands what's going on in my own head, my own heart and feelings.... outside ideas can sway thoughts in a certain direction but I am the only one that can and will do. I know what I want in this life and I should stop looking for outward justification for what I already know is in my grasp.

It's time to say goodbye to turning tables-adele.

Fears of all around.

Ok, I realize I have not been the best blogger lately. Sorry Team- but alas I am back. I promise..

Reflection lately has brought me to this place of questions without answers. Paraphrasing the words from Michael Healey's show last nite Are you Okay. Which by the way- if you have time to see by the end of this weekend, see it.
In a way, he discussed the repetition that is our lives even when we don't realize it. We do thinks, movement, actions, tasks without knowing why or when, we just do. Life is so complicated but can be in some senses brought down to simple tasks of behaviour.

Whoa. I got deep there for a minute. ;)

Lets absorb that for a bit-shall we?

Great. How did that feel? Do you question choices you've made in the past, present or future. Maybe you will never know. That's what life is though right- a series of choices down a path. Much like one of those... make your own adventure books, do you choose option 1 or 2 and where does that lead you to.

I realize choices have led me here, but for what.

Did the 6 year old vb realize what choices she made then and in the future would led her?

Does current me know? Most likely not.  Maybe that's the best thing about life? The not knowing. Part of me can't wait to be in my 50's looking back at this time and laughing- at all of it.

Fears and tears are no more.

vb.

Love ain't always what it seems.

Lots to talk about viewers/readers/friends... but a las today is not the day I have time for all.

Reflection is a task that takes much time... and there is so much more to do.







Make everyday your greatest. Love for all.

Live life for one

Hello World,

Sorry for my hiatus of a few days. Life has gotten in the way and to be honest I wasn't sure what to write about lately. So, a new month begins.. and a new adventure starts.

A had a amazing weekend with my momma. We hit up the Home Show and I made her dinner at home. My brother even dropped by my apartment for a few hours so it was almost like a full family gathering. It was nice to visit with her.. talk through some stuff and just have fun. She left early Sunday morning to pick up my dad from a work weekend and I was on a weird high all day. I baked muffins, watch some tv, did some extra grocery shopping and looked at my life with a slight new outlook.

I haven't felt that happy for no reason at all in quite a while, and damn it felt good. I'm feeling a new chapter coming on.. with some great results.

but more on that one later.

For now... I leave you with adele- someone like you. It's a sad song but beautiful in so many ways.



 Love for all.

vb.

Worry Why

Some people would say I worry too much.... (thanks mom).

I'm learning more and more that life is full of chances/opportunities and misses. It's easy to forget why you are doing something when you are in the thick of it, and sometimes outside help is all you need.

So after a great night with a old friend and a beautiful walk to work.. I've decided one thing.

I won't worry my life away .



On to the next adventure.
vb.

Past, Present, Future.

What a change one day to the next.

Ever feel like you are just stuck and not really sure why? Feelin' low but have no real reason for it. Well I encourage you in those moments to push through- on wards and don't let the little things let you slide.

Over the past few weeks I have found myself- skipping the gym, staying late at work, stressing over small issues and feeling in general like the weight of the world is holding onto my shoulders alone. After having a slight mental breakdown with my mom on the phone and scaring her to death that I was falling deep into depression.... sorry mom!

I took some time and really got to the root of issues:
1. I wasn't voicing my un-happiness clearly.
2. Some challenges cannot be fixed in a day, week or even a month and thats ok.
3. Cutting out gym-time makes everything worse.
4. Forced fun is not so fun.

So I finally got back to my favourite Jam class last nite and within a few seconds of stepping in the room, feeling the beats and dancing to the music.. I could feel old vb coming back/

Let's hope she is here to stay. ;)

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
- Oscar Wilde.

If life has taught me anything lately - its don't be surprised when it all goes to shit.
Now there are good days weeks even months and bad ones. I think what's worse is just coasting, not really feeling anything. Taking it day by day with no true reaction.

The ultimate cruise control.

What's worse is realizing you've been in that moment for longer than you knew.
When do demon's take a holiday?


Life brings you lemons, so throw them in the wounds.


When to break free and when to slip into the deep cove of nothing? Slipping farther and farther in.

Weeks all blend together.

You say you love me
Well they feel like words to me
Well this just ain't working
Stop thinking you can run over me

My song of the week: Rihanna- Fading



That's I got this week.
Life, love lost.

vb.

Oh love.

Oh hello there day of love for all.
Start to a new week.

Challenges are different every week and this week is no different.
Dare to be different.

My Mantra this week: If someone wants to talk to you they will find a way, don't put in effort that won't be received.

Love to all I love.

Born this way.

Born this way came out today.... have you taken a listen?

Perez has posted the whole song and since I can't find a legit version on you tube, have a listen for yourself here.
My initial thoughts when I woke up to this song... the beat/tune sounds familiar, but I just can't place it. I've listened a few times now and I think I will get hooked- just takes time. I love this photo though.

Thank gosh the weekend is here!!! Work is just getting busier and busier the later in the semester we get.. so weekends are my only time to breathe.. or so it feels like.

Plus this weekend makes the beginning of the 25th yr on this world for my very best friend Katie!!!! We will be sure to welcome her 25th year right- I cannot wait to get started.

So with that I leave you with two things... lots of photos that I either love for no reason or inspire me... with fashion, love, life and all.

I also am leaving you with a special Friday tune- Maroon 5 " Never gonna leave this bed" Love love love it.

Love is everywhere.

I miss london town.

Oh Misfits. How i <3 u.

Love floral right now.

I have that ring :D

A small amount of animal print is always right.

All images via: we heart it.

So happy weekend. I hope you find a reason to smile in this cold weather.
