Handshakes are too formal...

me and my munchkins - nieces & nephew, not kids. yikes.
Although I think I have a pretty good handshake, I always hated how awkward and formal shaking the hand of someone you just met is. I prefer to have an informal meeting over coffee or a glass of red. But since we can't get to know each other over a glass of wine, we'll have to make do with the internet machine's method.

My names Lindsey Elizabeth, or just Lindsey, Linds, or Smurf (a classmate declared that my nickname due to my lack of height). I was born and raised on a lovely little island known as Cape Breton and currently live in the little-big city of Halifax.

I love both of these places more than any other place I've ever been. Cape Breton has enough scenic beauty to overload Instagram and the kindest, friendliest people you'll ever meet. My new location, Halifax, is ideal for the 20 something's like myself. It's filled with music and nightlife, tons of delicious local eateries and a beautiful Waterfront that I spend way too much time on. If I could somehow live in the two places at once, I would.

How I enjoy wasting time:
  • Cooking, going to dinner, visiting the market - I love all things food, (I even sometimes sneak a peak into strangers' carts in the grocery store to see what they're buying). And yes, I realize how weird that is.
  • I also love music- especially if it's live. I constantly tell people that my occupation is "Professional Concert Goer". I'll also spend hours trying to figure out the name of a song that I've only heard 4 words of. Waste. Of. Time.
  • I adore my family. I know, everyone does (or should). But there are few things I would rather do than go shopping with my mom, be sarcastic with my dad, or chase my nieces and nephew around the house (although the last one tends to get tiring).
  • Recently I've been wasting time by doing yoga. I say it's a waste of time because I am quite confident that I'm doing it incorrectly. I know this because I often catch my neighbours watching and laughing when I forgot to close the curtains.

The list could go on for days (I waste loads of time), but for now, I'll digress. There are a couple of other things I think readers should know about waste time...not wine and Lindsey Elizabeth.
I'm very sarcastic and feisty. Expect that when reading. My opinions will most definitely be voiced and I urge you to do the same! Finally, I've been contemplating starting a blog for years, so there's a lot I want to talk about. One day could be about fashion, the next might be a rant about how ridiculous the latest Miley Cyrus video is (but let's be honest, they can't possibly get any weirder). So variety will definitely be a theme here at waste time...not wine.

Looking forward to wasting lots of time here!

What I Found in The Depths of the Internet

I work an office job. Luckily, that office job is in the marketing and promotions department, so I'm not constantly tied to my desk. BUT there are days that I spend, like, 6 hours in a row on my computer. Aside from poor posture, this also gives me the opportunity to search the web and waste time discovering cool things like recipes and home decor and new bands!!! Usually when I find a new thing  that I love, I annoy the crap out of my boyfriend or my iPhone group chat with details about said thing. So instead, why not plop them here? Here are 5 things that I've found while I should've been working: 1.  couchseats.com This website is kind of like Pinterest - but for music. You can totally get lost in a deep, deep hole of clicking and listening. If you're a music lover this is absolutely going to be your best friend. It features endless videos of live music from super well-known artists like Dave Grohl and Ed Sheeran, to more indie musicians like We Are Twin. You&

Ria Mae Album Review

Ria Mae is from the little-big city of Halifax, Nova Scotia and has had no problem packing venues - be it dive bars or concert halls - since her hit single, Clothes Off , hit the airwaves last year. Mae moved to Montreal in the winter in hopes of being inspired and courted by the city’s booming music scene. It looks like that’s exactly what happened as she released her self-titled album on June 3rd. While her sound is mostly pop, there are hints of alternative, hip-hop and even R&B that give her songs a sexy, Montreal-esque feel that has her fans dancing and sipping cocktails while jamming to her music. The new album features her two singles - Clothes Off and Gold - both with incredibly catchy beats and melodies. There’s so much sex appeal behind these tunes (especially Clothes, as you could’ve probably guessed) that it has probably become a regular in many club playlists. Many of the other songs on the album, though, have more of a pop feel which really showcase Mae’s voc

15 Thoughts You Have While Apartment Hunting in Halifax

As I search for my third apartment in Halifax, I'm faced with the same thoughts I had last time I was apartment hunting. Halifax has everything - including lots of cool pads, but that doesn't mean there won't be a struggle to find the perfect one. Here are 15 thoughts you'll probably have if you've ever searched for an apartment in Halifax: How far North is too far North? Maybe we could just move to Clayton park and save money? Nah I don't want to be that far away from Argyle Street. I think I came to a party here once. Nope, that street has mice. Is it better to be close to a grocery store or close to a coffee shop? Am I cool enough to live on Agricola though? I'm not. I'm not cool enough for this street. I don't want to be in the student ghetto though. Looking on every page on Kijiji and then considering craigslist, only to realize that Kijiji is where it's at. GOD DAMMIT THERE'S NO PARKING AT ANY OF THESE APARTMENTS. M
