humility

God works in mysterious ways…even through reality TV.
Some of you may know this already, but I recently had an accident with a knife and sliced through my hand and through a nerve.  I am waiting for a full assessment after the weekend, possibly followed by surgery to save the nerve affecting my index finger.
When the [...]

skincare routine (warning: super long w/ pics)

Hello all!
So my good friend keeps asking me what I use on my skin, but I find it so tedious to answer that because I use SO MANY gosh darn products!  Yes, I’m a skincare junkie.  I think it’s because when I was younger, my mom didn’t believe that skin care products could help me [...]

spa, sting, & package!

Last weekend was my friend’s birthday, and he requested a spa day/package as a gift.  So his roommate researched and found an awesome deal at a spa in Yorkville called Summerhill Spa, but it was a couple’s package!  They didn’t want to go together cuz they’re dudes…ya know.  And all of my other girlfriends are [...]

yoga

As you may remember, I was given a 3 month pass to Trish Stratus’ yoga studio in Toronto, Stratusphere.  I went for the first time today (it was also my first time trying yoga…ever).
It was the noon power hour session, so it definitely was not the intro version.  Also, it was held in the “hot [...]

sleepless in toronto

It’s not as glamourous or romantic as the film version of Seattle, trust me.
Last week, I went to hell and back with combo of final assignments (SIX in a week), work, parties, appointments, church stuff, equaling no rest for me. BUT, I got through it and it feels soooo good to be done!!
It was [...]

cruel irony

I am going to get punished for this.  But I am just going to say that this probably a really cursed coincidence.  I can’t help but laugh (not at the people involved, just at the irony of it)!
I saw this on someone’s Twitter page (I do not know him, I just noticed that someone I [...]

cancers

Recently, I’ve cut out a few “cancers” from my life, just because I am probably a better person without them (incidentally, my astrological sign is Cancer).

perezhilton.com: That dude honestly infested my life with useless knowledge and judgemental thoughts.  It’s not cool to always be a hater (esp. upon those you don’t even personally know!)
junk food: [...]

10 minute sadist

I’m one of those people whose weight is constantly fluctuating, depending on my schedule, if yummy snacks are on sale, or whether I’m away on a trip. While in France, I lost tons of weight because I wasn’t always eating when I should have been, or I was skipping meals because I was so [...]

one less sense

So, having a sinus infection totally sucks, not because I can’t really breathe, or because I’m constantly having to blow my nose, or that I now have dark circles under my eyes, but because I CAN’T TASTE ANYTHING! I know that when your nose is all stuffed up, you can’t really taste anything because [...]

those damn sinuses

On the first day of my trip, I got down with a cold. Once I got back to Toronto, I had already lost my voice, but it was the tail end of my sickness. Ecstatic to see my friends and family again, I didn’t get enough rest and I think I pushed myself [...]
