Catching Up

Hi Gang!
The past two weeks have consisted of me living on my own, and I honestly thought I was going to work out everyday, blog consistently and film and edit lots.
I filmed 2 videos and didn't write a word.

I think while my love was away working I felt lost.  The majority of my time was spent working during the day and then come home to sit on the couch, drink a cold pressed juice and watch tv.
I was asleep by nine thirty (at the latest) every night.

I have some recommendations though!
I watched "Remedy" which was a Canadian hospital drama that I absolutely loved.  It got cancelled after season 2.
For movies, "The Intern" with Robert Deniro and Anne Hathaway was awesome.

 The Mother-In-Law to be and I had a fun Friday night last week of yummy food, a little too much wine, and great music!

This weekend will be visiting with my love now that he's home and cleaning up the house.
Boring adult stuff.
Plus lots of relaxing.

Have a lovely weekend and I hope you're having great weather!

Shoud I Vlog?

This cold has been just kicking my butt!
And I shared it with Boyfriend Fiancee too.

But I didn't come on here to complain about my cold.
I came on here to say I really really really want to start a new youtube channel for vlogging.
I would like to vlog with Fiancee even thought we're pretty boring just to give me something to do and I think it would be a fun thing for us to do together!

What inspired this?
Erik Conover's youtube channel.
His model girlfriend and him live in New York and it's just about their daily lives. 
What makes it so intriguing?
The couple is relatable and I just can't stop watching his videos.

I would highly recommend checking out his channel, and she has her own channel as well which I've already subscribed too.

Enjoy and stay on the look out for if I decide to start vlogging!

A Change

Good morning!
I've been thinking about my blog lately and have decided it needs to change.
I was trying to identify myself as a beauty blogger and it's just not working for me.
For that fun makeup/fashion aspect of my life that I do enjoy so much, youtube works better. For me.

My blog is going to be what it always should have been/used to be 6 years ago, a lifestyle blog.

But I keep questioning myself:

-Who wants to read about a couple who's been dating for 3 years?

-Who wants to read about a girl who works all day to come home and turn on Netflix for 4 hours?

-What about a girl who drinks wine Tuesday nights because she can?

-Works Saturdays, relaxes Sundays and on her random day off during the week is a housewife?

-This girl also has no kids, isn't married, is waiting for her niece to be born, has no friends....the list just goes on and on

-The things this girl does for fun...
...
drinks wine on Tuesdays?

-But seriously.  Plays badminton with her Boyfriend and his mother, gets drunk Saturday night with Boyfriend's mother....and sometimes her and her Boyfriend will play beer pong against each other...because they can.

Would you read a blog like that?

I hope so, because that's what you're going to get from now on.

As much as I'd loved to have my name out on the internet it's just not common and I don't feel like sharing yet.  So for now, I am still The Quiet Brunette.

Enjoy the rest of your Summer!

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!
