Slow fashion, sewing, & sustainability
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I love a good basic piece in my wardrobe. Basic pieces are the backbone of your closet – they go with everything and are always in style. In this week’s outfit of the day, I decided to mix some of my favourite basic
Journaling is a great way for me to keep myself on track and organized, relieve stress, and express myself. Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a certain fascination with journals and notebooks. When I was little, as soon as I got my allowance I’d head to the store to spend it on a new book of blank
Today I want to talk about what I like to call a ‘simple wardrobe’ (also known as a capsule wardrobe). If you don’t know what that is, it’s essentially a curated closet that has a limited number of items which all work together and match your personal style. As of today, I’m still working towards

Decluttering your closet can be a daunting task – trust me, I know. It can be hard to let go of the things that we invested so much money in (like that leather jacket you never wear anymore), that hold sentimental value (the purse your friend gifted to you years ago), or that you might need for some
It’s amazing what we have for free at our fingertips with technology these days. From video and music streaming to chatting with friends halfway around the world, sometimes I can’t even believe all the things we’re able to do.

One of the best things about living in Vancouver is that you can drive for an hour out of the city and find yourself in beautiful nature. This past weekend, my boyfriend Jason and I escaped the hustle and bustle for a relaxing getaway on Mayne Island. One of BC’s Southern Gulf Islands, Mayne is
Because who doesn’t want a vacation in a glass? This healthy homemade pina colada recipe only requires a few ingredients, has much less sugar than pre-made mixes from the store, and tastes like a dream. I like to use Havana Club white rum, but any other type of white or gold rum will work just
