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.
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.
