Upgrading my Pajamas
I had been looking to upgrade my pajama situation for a while now. My go-to uniform has always been my decade old high-school t-shirt and my husbands pajama bottoms. I have been on the hunt for a classic style of pyjamas inspired by the 60’s. In particular, my inspiration came from this scene from Man from UNCLE and these ones…

Day-to-Day: Trish Marks
Welcome back to one of my favourite series, Day-to-Day, where I get to interview an amazing woman that I admire. I always find it so fun to get a better idea of what their life looks like, what they are enjoying, and what may be challenging. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! This post is with…

Do You Live-to-Eat or Eat-to-Live?
I will never forget having a conversation with a friend of mine in university. He said that if he could, he would take a pill each morning to sustain him so he wouldn’t have to worry about eating. To him, preparing meals and eating was a time consuming inconvenience that he would be willing to skip altogether if possible. My…

Thanks for Reading!
I hope you had a wonderful, though I’m sure different, Christmas. We have spent a lot of time on Zoom and FaceTime, have been bingeing Harry Potter movies, and going for snowy hikes. I would love to hear how you spent Christmas this year! As the year comes to a close, the end of 2020 also marks one year of…

What are You Watching?
I have been on quite the binge-watching streak and am in need of new suggestions! I have devoured the last two series I have watched, so I need some good recommendations. The two shows I have torn through could not be more different, The Queen’s Gambit and Emily in Paris. The Queen’s gambit is intense and dramatic, while Emily in…

The Best Cosmetics Organizer
What was a spur of the moment purchase years ago at Ikea, has ended up being one of the best investments I have made. These organizers are a life saver. I fall somewhere between being a messy person and a tidy person. If something has a place, I stay organized. If I don’t have a place for everything, a mess…

The Parable of the Trapeze
Years ago, when I started first year university and moved across the country, I really struggled with the transition. Everything was new and unknown territory. I had no idea where my life was headed and all of the comforts of home had disappeared. I was finding all of the uncertainty very challenging. During this time my mom sent me a…

Little Joys
Recently I started changing my computer’s desktop background at the beginning of each month to mix things up. I’ve been surprised by how happy it makes me to open my computer and see a new picture. With many stressful weeks under my belt, and many more on the horizon, this small moment of joy got me thinking about how sometimes…

For Your Coffee Scrolling… October
I hope you had a good thanksgiving weekend, even though I’m sure it looked quite different this year. I would love to hear how you and your family spent thanksgiving this year – did you do a virtual get-together? Drop off turkey dinner to loved ones? Our turkey leftovers are never-ending since our gathering was much smaller than usual this…

Thrifting Parisian Style- Part 2: The Hunt and Gather
Picking up where we left off… after creating my list and inspo photos (from this post) I was off to thrift shop! Thrifting was so much fun, I’m officially a convert. It’s so exhilarating to find a diamond in the rough. Every time I find a winner I feel like I hit the jackpot, won the lottery, and all the…
