A Beautiful Weekend

Hello Lovelies!
Sorry for being a piss poor blogger.

It's awfully hard to work full time, blog, unwind and go out and about.
So I've decided to vlog on the weekends (I'll shamelessly promote my youtube channel at some point), Saturdays or Sundays and possibly a day throughout the week if I get one off.
As for other videos, there's no way for me to plan a schedule for that at the moment as I have no time for it.  That makes me sad, I have fun filming and editing but there's just no extra time.
I get home from work between four and five thirty (on good days) and then there's the matter of showering, making lunch, visiting family etc. By then it's seven o'clock and I'm ready for bed.

But I didn't come on here to make excuses or complain (which I just did both in the above paragraph).
Today has been wonderful, last weekend was too!
Last weekend I was quite the little shopper:





That shopping trip was a big deal, I don't normally buy that much at once. Think of the savings!

So far this Saturday we have been up at the ungodly hour of 7am (that's unheard of from me on a day off) and by nine we were out the door headed to the Farmer's Market a couple towns over.
It is my favorite market on the island and I go there specifically for coffee beans.

It is the best coffee I have ever tasted (so far) and if you live in British Columbia, I'm sure I could give you the details on where to find it.
We also bought our favorite jalapeno cheese sourdough bread, and a new try of bacon chive sourdough bread (amazing!)

Nathan found a beeswax candle shaped like a pine cone and it smells wonderful. I wish I had pictures of everything to show you!  Then tried a vendor's pulled pork sandwich and some bought some venison jerky from another.
Next time I will remember bags and hopefully buy some fresh vegetables and my favorite almond croissant that I decided against today as I already had a croissant for breakfast.

Good thing I took a picture of the concord grapes because they're all gone now :)
Enjoy the weekend and I hope wherever you live it's as nice as it has been here!

Monday Morning

I know, I know I've been a terrible blogger lately.
I really did have a good Friday Five lined up (I'll save it for this week) but I ended up working Monday to Friday and in the evening I had no brain power to blog.
But I have ideas and I've been vlogging this weekend so we'll see if I find time to edit that.

I'm finding it quite difficult to blog/vlog while working full time. I can see how being a blogger could be a full time job.

I have lots to share soon! I'm quite excited about it.
I have an Autumn Lookbook in the works [Oh my gosh, if anyone watches "Witches of East End" let's talk about this latest episode. I'm just watching the end now.]

The leaves have finally started to change color around here, usually it happens at the end of August but it was definitely late this year. I'm hoping to hit up my favorite farmers market soon, the corn maze will be starting up and definitely everything pumpkin and apple flavored will be baked.

I recently showed some of my Fall decor and well....I bought more candles and found more stored in my closet (video to be posted soon)

Just thought I would do a quick I am still here, I promise! I've just been busy post.

Have a lovely week and talk to you soon.

Card Making!

Oh boy!
I've been busy!
Work and sleep are taking up a lot of my time lately and I started working on my youtube channel again and Boyfriend agreed it would be a good hobby for me as I love to edit videos.

It's still Summer-like here, unlike Alberta (where there is snow!) but last night I went to a Stampin' Up party where I looked at a holiday catalog and made a Christmas card. It's making me want Fall weather.

Happy Wednesday! Enjoy the rest of the week and we'll see you on Friday loves.

Adult-ism

I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't feel like an adult and there is never really a time I feel like an adult.
I'm twenty six now.
When I was younger (we're talking around 12 years old here) 26 sounded so old.
Twenty six sounded like a married person with a house, kids and a career.
I have the (for now) career. I saw for now because it's something I enjoy, can see myself doing for awhile and it pays well.
So  maybe one day when I have my house, and I'm settled down I'll pursue my passion..not entirely sure what that is yet.

What sparked all this was an article I read. It was about what it's like to be in your twenties, and how you can have a career now but you don't need to do it for the rest of your life.


I need to keep reminding myself of this and keep discovering myself and find something I really, really love to do.

What's your passion? Are you following your dream career?

Happy Hump Day!
