be happy

sometimes, there’s just too much on your plate, and when that happens, you need to realize that you can do it all, but you can’t do it all well. what i’m doing this week is prioritizing getting my new beauty business up and running (this includes a photoshoot with framework magazine’s june issue profiling me and the new business!)

chasing your dreams takes serious focus, so that’s what i need to do this week: focus. please give me a free pass? check in with me on twitter, because i’ll need to take a break sooner or later, right? see you next week and in the meantime, don’t forget that little quote above. xo

ok, ok, so “things” aren’t supposed to make you happy… but sometimes they do! these are things that definitely make me happy each time i wear them, and even just to gaze at. [keep reading…]

spring trip recap

April 1, 2013

spring trip intro

i missed you! it’s so nice being back to the blog. i was away for 10 days visiting family and friends in edmonton (my hometown). of course, i arrived on the second day of spring to a blizzard… but that didn’t define the trip at all. it was so much fun taking a break from the computer and catching up with some of my favourite people. i also made a purchase i’ve been coveting for well over a year…
