Drunk Blogging Take Two

Hello Friends,
I swear I don't drink al the time, but I have been on holidays and it's also a long weekend.
That's how I justify a drunk blogging part two.

Currently watching: Gilmore Girls A Year in the Life: Fall.  Fall, Autumn, is my favorite season and it's my favorite "episode" of the year in the life.

I apologize if there are spelling mistake my computer is taking it's sweet time  today, but I will try to catch any mistakes if I can.And here is where I take a break because Logan has shown up....excuse me.  I just get goosebumps when those three gorillas show up.
I need to rewatch the series again, I haven't done that yet this year, usually I do it twice a year.
God,  I hope it's Logan's baby.  He was always my dream guy.  Luckily my boyfriend reminds me of him. You know the way Logan challenges Rory? That's how I feel my dude is, pushing me to do/try new things.
Lately I've been thinking I should just quit my job and go.
Do you know what I mean?
This whole scene just makes me want to do that more.
Rory, Alexis Bledel just doesn't age.

I just need to leave my nine to four job and explore.
Yes, it's not a nine to five.  But it's pretty close.
I recently started following someone on instagram that makes me want to quit my job and travel because that's what they did, but I can't because I need to live and afford my rent and my bills etc.
I have enough saved up that I could go away, but can I just leave my job and go away for a few months? I just don't know about that.
They say do what scares you.
That scares the hell out of me.

Drunk Blogging Part One

I always think about blogging when I drink.
Mostly because I like to write and let's face it, I like to drink.

On the menu tonight is Phillips Blue Buck.
It's one of my favorite beers, just a solid choice and it reminds me of Rock the Shores last summer.
[By the way, Rock the Shores was "postponed" this year.]

While enjoying my beer I have folded laundry (my least favorite chore) and applied self tanner (always a dangerous task whilst drinking)

I know how dangerous it is to self tan while drinking, trust me I've done this before and I feel like it was much worse than how tonight will turn out.  Last time I didn't shower afterwards...I was orange.

Another thing I enjoy doing while enjoying my Monday night beer is online shop.
I have an addiction.

I'm currently on well.ca browsing skincare, and have brought my cart down to about $70 before tax.
Actually that's pretty good, I had two of wet 'n wild's photofocus foundation in there but I guess one sold out.
I so wanted Herbivore's Blue Tansy mask, but that's a little too expensive today.

I'm also waiting on an order from beautylish.
I'm going to try some skincare products from Deciem's The Ordinary, I'll let you know how that goes.

I told you I had an addiction.

In a week is the Sephora VIB rouge sale...so expect a big haul soon, either in blogpost or video form.
I really meant to film a lot this past week, but whenever I went to do it I felt awkward or I could hear the landlord.  Plus I've had dermatitis so my skin looks like sh*t.

Tomorrow I'm going to head into the city and check out Wholefoods with my Mom, probably some clothing stores too (not that I need any).

I feel like I'm still trying to figure out my style, I wanted to be 'stylish' but I'm an athleisure girl all the way.  I love my TNA tops, my Talula leggings, and a good ol' pair of Guess jeans paired with my favorite Wilfred sweater.

Okay, I think it's time for a snack and maybe to binge watch '13 Reasons Why'.  I read the book in about 5 hours (way back in 2007) but it's taking me days to get through the show, it's good but I just loved the book.
What are you watching on Netflix at the moment?

The Awkward Reintroduction

I've been wanting to blog for awhile now, but I just didn't know how to go about it or what to say.
It's like seeing a friend you haven't talked to in months, maybe even years, and it's just awkward.
So let's skip the awkwardness and just hug.

Now that we have that out of the way---hold on, I need tunes. Okay that's better.

I want to change my blog or figure out my 'brand' or just what the hell I want to blog about.

While sitting on the ferry to go to work I have a notebook and it has lists and lists of blog names, youtube channel names, ideas for posts/videos etc
Yet I still can't figure it out.

I love to write.
I love to film and edit.
But I just find myself doing other useless things with my time, like laundry. . .
Okay but actually I procrastinate and watching youtube or Netflix for hours at a time.

I'd love to have a game plan, I like to plan but I never follow through (refer to the notebooks full of lists)
I dream and plan how blogging or doing youtube would go for me and it all sounds nice but it doesn't happen.

I am now in my late twenties, at a nine to five (okay, it's technically to four) job  and I like it, but it is not what I want to be doing.  It's paying my bills and letting me meet amazing people, but my passion just isn't there.


I tried vlogging over Christmas and loved it, but found that it's hard to capture an audience when it's just two of us and we don't do anything exciting.

I love beauty, skincare and fashion (fun fact: I  used to want to be a fashion designer and started sewing at 9 years old), but I don't know anything about these subjects except that I know what I like.

For now this is it, and if anyone enjoys reading it that's great and if not well at least I still get to write and take pictures.

A Year of Adventure

Do you ever have the yearning to do something more?
I've been having that feeling like crazy for weeks now.
I feel like I'm in the wrong career, maybe even living in the wrong place.
I want to explore, I haven't been to very many places and I would like to see much more.

There was a day this year where I decided this would be my year of being adventurous.
Being adventurous can mean different things to different people.  For me, it's mostly getting out of my shell, not coming home and sitting on the couch, going out on my days off and doing something.
I feel like I've been succeeding in this but at the same time I've hardly made it off of the rock I call home to see places I've never seen.

Here's the thing, I have a job I can't abandon because money and you need money to go on adventures.
Why do you get a new job somewhere else and go on adventures you ask?
I'd most likely be moving somewhere where I'd be doing the same thing because I have no other skills except for a year of acting classes and janitorial work behind me.

It feels good to get my thoughts out, my brain is a very busy and confused place.
If you have any advice for starting a new adventure or figuring out a new career please, please leave a comment below, thank you.

That Weekend We Did Whistler

So, we island folk recently headed to Whistler for the first time ever.
No it's not Winter, but neither of are into Winter sports anyways.

About five hundred plus dollars later and we have both decided Whistler is not for us.
But, we enjoyed the things we did in Whistler.

We originally traveled to Whistler for a concert, but more on that later.

Whistler in the Summer is good for mountain biking, site seeing and shopping.
Oh and Bachelorette parties, and I only say that because we witnessed about seven different ones going on.

We hit up the Brittania mines before doing anything in Whistler, and it was neat but I wouldn't go back.  Neat thing though, they were filming a movie there and upon doing my research I found that it stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Lily Collins!

After that we had a late lunch, people watched and then finally were able to check into our hotel.
So we relaxed for about an hour and a half, had a couple beers and then took the bus down to Whistler Village.
The concert wasn't set to start until seven thirty so we had an hour and a half to kill.  We decided to people watch some more and eat ice cream.

It was the most expensive single scoop I've ever had, but it was delicious.

Finally it was time for the show.
Are you dying to know which band we saw?

 The Strumbellas.

Nathan will tell you it was the best concert he's ever seen and he's been to a few.
I have been to a lot of concerts and I agree with him, it ranks pretty high up there with Florence & The Machine.
Their energy is amazing, and you can tell they just genuinely enjoy what they do, especially Dave (the guy in the hat).

We started off the day to a very rocky start, but I will spare you the details, and this band just made us forget every bad thing that happened.
I highly recommend seeing them in concert if you have the opportunity to.

We woke up early Sunday morning and enjoyed a very huge complimentary breakfast at our hotel.
After a pretty relaxing morning we headed to the gondolas.

 The pictures don't do it justice, but if you ever go to Whistler go on the Gondolas.

If you've ever been to Whistler let me know your thoughts below.
