I’ve learned that quality vs. quantity always wins. Recently, I’ve fallen in love with Reitmans. I used to think it was an “old lady store”, but it’s become one of my favourite stores. I love the quality of the products I’ve purchased...

I used Tumblr when I was sixteen like my personal diary then continued to use it on and off for the last seven years. I love Tumblr...

Why I'm Okay With Being #foreveralone

I have decided to do a 30 day blogging challenge, to bring some creativity and spark into my life. As I mentioned on Thursday, I quit my full time job last week to pursue a career in my field of study. My life is changing and evolving a lot faster than I thought it would ever. I decided that it would be fun to do this challenge for the month of October to help me keep the creative juices following as I continue to adapt to the changes in my life. The term #foreveralone I went on Urban Dictionary and there are several definitions of the term “forever alone”. I thought that I would share my top three. 1.       “An individual who will never have a boyfriend/girlfriend...
