What made the cut? The Process: OK you guys, this took forever to put together but a lot of you wanted to see my 28 piece collection, so here it is!  You’ll notice the majority of the pieces are neutral colours. This is on purpose! I stuck to a colour palette of black, white, blue, pink, […]

If there’s one lesson that the universe has taught me, it’s that it’s perfectly okay to not have your proverbial sh*t together. It is so darn easy to get caught up in the facade, and believe that everyone around you has it all figured out based on what you see and the narrative you create […]

She was the rescue mutt that stole our hearts when we weren’t looking for a pet, and he was our life’s most wonderful and magical surprise. There is nothing that makes my heart explode harder than to witness the bond between these two beautiful souls. Appledog teaches him about boundaries, patience, compassion and the undeniable […]

My good friend used to have these things called “mental health days” where she would stay home and just rest instead of working. I never really understood that, until now. I totally suck at resting. I hate feeling like I am unproductive or wasting time and I have a tendency to create an additional list […]

I spent a week with […]

I was like a kid on Christmas morning when the latest issue of The Maritime Edit had arrived in our mailbox. I couldn’t wait to get home and read that thing from start to finish. This magazine is an incredible resource for east coast Canadians and fans of the east coast of Canada. Inside you’ll see […]

It’s my birthday today. And while it seems like each year they come faster and faster, I feel more and more love and gratitude with each passing year. Every year on my birthday I sit and reflect. When I think back on my 38th trip around the sun, it was a true catalyst towards what’s […]

I woke up Thursday morning with a wine headache, again. This time I finally decided that something needed to change.
