Hello Lovelies!
Today I bring to you a post about my anxiety.
Lots of people have anxiety and I never really understood what it was all about until a few years ago.
But last year my Mom and I sat in the doctors office twice trying to figure out what was wrong with me and I was so frustrated because I didn't understand that I would burst into tears each time and the doctor would refer me to a therapist or prescribe me pills.
Finally a different doctor had me do a depression/anxiety quiz and finally said you have generalized anxiety disorder.
My anxiety does not have a trigger most of the time, it just happens.
I can have weeks where I'm really anxious and weeks that I'm carefree and happy.
Lately my social anxiety has been worse.
I went to the mall by myself last week, something that I don't do too often anymore, to try to find a gift. I walked in and my chest tightened, I was feeling warm....I walked into a store, spent less than five minutes in it and walked out. I went into another store and I was so overwhelmed that I practically ran out, went straight to my car and drove home.
I didn't realize it had gotten so bad.
This morning I am quite anxious about going to work and I have a social job, so that's not really the best thing to be feeling on a Monday morning.
When I have anxiety for no reason I tend to calm myself down by watching youtube videos or watching a movie, but I have yet to discover a way to handle social anxiety without having Boyfriend around.
Do you have any tips for handling anxiety?
Have a fantastic Monday and hopefully I'll be posting more this week!

Thanksgiving Weekend
I've decided I need to buy a notebook.
I come up with my best blog ideas at night and come morning I can't remember any of them. Not even after a cup of coffee.
How was your Thanksgiving?
Mine were good, as there were three and a fourth to come next weekend. Needless to say, I'll be sick of turkey.
Fall is in full swing here. I have candles burning, the weather is stormy and my new uniform has been sweaters and pajama pants.
Saturday I worked a half day at work then rushed to the ferry for Thanksgiving #1 at some friend's house.
It's always so gorgeous and cozy on the island.
Sunday was Thanksgiving #2 at my parents house. I made a pumpkin pie (the pie plate was a gift from last Christmas...but I do know it's from Pottery Barn).
Monday was Thanksgiving #3 at boyfriend's house and I made another pumpkin pie.
It was a busy weekend and I was thankful to have Tuesday off to relax a bit, even if I was up at 4am.
I've been posting quite a few videos on my youtube channel if you feel like checking that out.
I'm still shy about it, so I recommend turning up the volume if you decide to watch.
Have a lovely rest of your week!
Happy Wednesday!

Getting Lost
Hello Lovelies!
I hope your October is off to a wonderful start! The weather here in B.C. has been absolutely amazing lately, therefore we had to take advantage of it of course.
This past weekend, while I did have to work, was one for the books.
Boyfriend and I headed out to a local farm and tackled the corn maze, while I can't say we were successful at finding all the check points as after an hour the heat was too much, we had a blast.
We even came home with a giant pumpkin from the pumpkin patch!
What Fall things have you gotten up to?
Enjoy your week!

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.
