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!

Friday Five (5)-Youtube

I watch youtube every morning while I eat breakfast and sometimes to wind down in the evening. So I thought I'd share five of my favorite youtubers.

1. Zoella! I think I've watched all her videos now, some of them more than once, like this one:






2. Meg from Ciaoobellaxo.


3. A fellow Canadian- Rachhloves



4. Gabby

5.EleventhGorgeous

There are many more but I find myself always checking for new videos from these five.
Who are  your favorite youtubers?

Fall Decorating

Well folks, Fall is less than a month away now and September is in 3 days.
So in anticipation for Fall I'm reorganizing and decorating!

 This is all the Fall stuff I've collected over the past year. And there's more in boxes but that's mostly baking things.

 Starting from the left is a candy corn candle I got from Pier One, they're only a buck so I need to get more. It's probably the best smelling candle. In the back is a vase that I filled with plastic fall jewels from Michaels and then just some fake leave tucked in there. And an owl candle I found at HomeSense that I don't want to burn.

 A few Bath and Body Works candles from a sale they had this summer, Autumn Day, Harvest Coffee and Pumpkin Cupcake.

 This wooden pumpkin is from Michaels and the candle beside it is vanilla and it's from Homesense.

 Here's a close up of the little pumpkin charm on the vanilla candle. I want to make a necklace out of it.

 Some more Bath & Body Works candles (Pumpkin Apple, Farmstand Apple and a mini Autumn Day), the mini pumpkin candle holder is also from there.

I'm in the middle of trying to make some artwork for Fall but it's not going so well, so I'm sure I'll be making another trip to Michaels soon.

While all this has been going on I've been playing movies and tv shows that remind me of Fall like "Hocus Pocus", "Gilmore Girls" and "You've Got Mail".

I'm still working on tomorrows five but there will be one.
Enjoy the long weekend!
