My name is Lindsey and I'm an addict.

My most recent purchase has brought new meaning to the term "waste of time". Since dropping my hard earned bucks on this product, I find myself continuously being late for things, letting my food get cold, and putting off yoga/running (not that I had a hard time doing that before). So what is this time wasting wonder of a product? It's an iPhone.

Yes. I do live under a rock. Until just two weeks ago, I was the not so proud owner of a Blackberry. So today, I will describe to you how my life has dramatically changed since chuckin' the berry and picking the apple (haaa).

For those of you who have had an iPhone for the last two years, this may sound pathetic to you - it may sound pathetic anyway. But I KNOW, at some point, every new iPhone user felt the way I do now, and does what I currently do. I'm so addicting to the thousands of things I can do on my phone, that I have already downloaded 27 apps. TWENTY SEVEN. Social media apps, games, news and weather apps, music apps, and the list goes on. That wouldn't be a huge deal if I just downloaded them and that was it. But that's where the time wasting comes in. I use probably 23 of these apps EVERY DAY, multiple times a day. When I wake up in the morning, I check Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snap Chat and the Vine. Five social media platforms before I even get out of bed! I'll then spend several minutes "waiting for the shower to get warm" scrolling through my two news apps. I also play 3-4 different games multiple times a day. It's bad.

I was never on my Blackberry as much as I'm on this iPhone. Just like Jenna Marbles says in her video about appss, I'm like an addict. I get a game of Subway Surfer (a game my 3 year old nephew plays...) in whenever I can and I'll look at the same posts on Instagram multiple times a day. I'm hoping once the new phone thing wears off, I'll be able to put it down for some length of time and stop wasting so much gosh darn time.

Have you experienced this kind of obsession when you go a new phone?

P.S. I took a break writing this to play a game and check my email. UGH.

Wine at the time: Goats do Roam Rose (just because it's not technically summer doesn't mean we can't drink rose!)

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
