Happy New Year!!!


So...it's January. So obviously I'm jumping on the resolution train! But in a different way than I have before. I mean, I've been trying to live a healthy lifestyle for awhile. I was vegetarian for three years (moving in with a carnivore boyfriend makes it tough to stick to that promise though, sorry cows). But I've also taken up pole fitness (do not judge) and hot yoga. And let me tell you, I fell in love with both! Finally, something I enjoy that isn't a big ol' waste of time!

Resolutions are funny things though, don't you think? I get that it's a new year, a fresh start, yas a yada yada. That's all great. The problem comes when we make these crazy lists of things we think we HAVE to accomplish. Also, setting the resolution to lose a ton of weight in the winter when there's chocolate and comfort food and it's freezing outside? Just not feasible. Or promising yourself to reconnect with your 3rd grade bestie who now lives on the other side of the world. Probably not gonna happen. That's why my resolution is to just be a better me. Enhance the things I'm already doing. Enjoy my time more (even if it's wasted time).

What are you're resolutions?



Wine at the time: Toron Seccoso Prosecco (a new year means lots of cheers-ing and that means bubbly! Go with the traditional!)

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...

What Re-Watching The Office Taught Me About Love at 27

When Michael Scott was making everyone cringe and giggle in 2005, I wasn’t paying a whole lot of attention to show The Office . It wasn’t until I re-watched it at 27 years old that I realized how many lessons it was teaching me. This show is somehow constantly relevant. It’s been off-air for a couple of years, but the memes and Tweets about it are still constant. People are always re-binging it. That’s the sign of a great sitcom.   The comedy has taught me more about love - and all the different versions of love - than any other form of media in my life. While Pam and Jim are a big part of it, I even learned from Dunder Mifflin’s hilariously-inappropriate manager. But we’ll start with the obvious… 1. Friendship first Pam and Jim have a love story that started out as a friendship and there’s no better way to fall in love. Falling for someone who is honestly your best friend is scary, exciting and just downright weird. It comes with a lot of risks, but if it works, it’...

I definitely didn't cry while writing this piece about The Tragically Hip...

The Tragically Hip - Man Machine Poem Day 3 in Toronto, ON Armed with will and determination...and grace, too. Gord Downie, lead of The Tragically Hip, embodies that line from the song Grace, Too. Those words have never been felt deeper than they were these last few weeks as the band takes the stage in multiple cities across Canada for what has been deemed their farewell tour. In May, the band released a statement letting their adoring fans know that frontman Gord Downie - a Canadian treasure on the same level (or above) as icons like Don Cherry and Wayne Gretzky - was suffering from terminal brain cancer. The news hit Canadians hard. But the love for The Hip was never more evident as tickets to their Man Machine Poem tour (named after their most recent album which dropped in June) sold out in no time. Fans of the band wanted nothing more than to be alongside Gord and his band during these difficult times and to experience an incredible performance by them just one more ti...
