but maybe you just deserve to give yourself a gift.<br />
<br />
I prefer ear jewellery because it highlights my favourite feature - which is my eyes. I've been a fan of statement earrings, and I've been interested in getting an ear cuff for a while.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, here are my top goodies I'd pick for myself from the Baublebar.<br />
<br />
PS - Great quality for the price, I definitely recommend a browse.<br />

Have you heard of Diatoms? I haven't until a few weeks ago in my biology lecture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What are they? They are a major group of algae, and among the most common types of phytoplankton...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Strikingly beautiful for being a few microns in size!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What's more incredible is that they account for over 85% of the world's Carbon sink in the oceans; curious to think, could increasing their populations in the oceans provide a means of removing carbon from our atmosphere? Increasing carbon dioxide causes oceans to be more acidic - although it's a nice notion to use diatoms to our environmental advantage, their numbers have been dwindling due to increasing temperature in the waters, which causes their structural breakdown.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But nevertheless, it's stunningly beautiful how small and perfectly symmetrical they are. What I like is how scientists put together diatoms under the microscope in arrangements into art.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Basically, it tells you where to look, what time it will pass and what kind of visibility will be like.<br />
<div>
Also, it shows you where it flies over the rest of the world.</div>

<div>
Kinda fun especially for the outdoors - I saw it tonight myself and it looked like a shooting star!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PS - It's shining because it's reflecting light off the sun</div>
<div>
PPS - It's hard to see at night when it's clear because stars are so bright!</div>

Enjoy,</div>

1) You want it versatile - fall-y enough to wear with tights, and without<br />
2) Can't be made of super thin material<br />
And bonus, if you like me and have more Anaconda than most...<br />
The fit and length.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I have found what you seek.<br />

Gravitating towards self-help books has been a result of the reduced time I have in my life for reading.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was genuinely surprised at how much I've learned, grown and developed as a result of reading these books, and I've been raving about them ever since to all of my friends...</div>
<div>
Not to sound too much like a billboard, but these books definitely deliver what they are meant for - overall happiness, improvement, peace and wisdom in your life.</div>
<div>
If you don't trust me, trust the Dalai Llama.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small; font-style: italic;">Warning: Reading this once hits the surface. Every time you re-read this, will be a different experience.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The title of the book really does it justice - I have gained so much insight, and I've re-read it twice and still haven't fully grasped the depth of the content - very straight forward but a slow read (four months) as the benefit only comes if you apply it's lessons to your own life and situations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What I've Learned:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) How to deal with negative emotions such as stress, greif, confusion, anxiety, sadness in a variety of productive ways</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) How to unlock your own potential by gaining insight into who you are as a person</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) How to find happiness through situations in which you think there would be none</div>

4/5 on Goodreads</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347857263l/11104933.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347857263l/11104933.jpg" height="320" width="211" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Read this at the beginning of the summer; works by helping someone understanding their capability to succeed, and especially useful to read if you're experiencing doubt, indecision or confusion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What I've Learned: </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) Willpower is like a muscle - the more you use it, the more it's fatigued</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) Willpower shouldn't have to be used often, only when necessary</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) How to get through moments when you think you have no motivation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/The-Happiness-10th-Anniversary-Edition/dp/1594488894" target="_blank">The Art of Happiness by The Dalai Llama</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4.1/5 on Goodreads</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1309287434l/38210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1309287434l/38210.jpg" height="320" width="214" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not for the faint of heart, but the challenge is greatly worth the effort. The translator did a choppy job and it's awkwardly worded at times, but I like how at the end of each chapter, there was a step by step list of how to apply the lesson you learned you your own life and situations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes you appreciate the complexity of happiness - and shows you methods of approaching difficult situations in productive ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What I've Learned:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) How to develop peace in my life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) Developing new methods of accepting difficult situations rather than opposing them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) Developed a healthy perspective in assessing my own happiness</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>* Must read for anyone in my opinion</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These would be great books to read in conjunction as they compliment each other in different ways. The Art of Happiness definitely encompases many more lessons and ideas about well living and peace that The Book of Secrets does not give a deep enough assessment about. Happiness definetley needs a whole book dedicated to it's explanation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
& Willpower can be helpful for anyone seeking career success, can't imagine anyone who would mind that advice.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Enjoy,<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I saw it again, and again... people who I follow on Instagram were raving about this watch like it was the best thing since sliced bread.<br />
<br />
Let me tell you... this watch (for me) is the best thing since sliced bread.<br />
<br />
I have been looking for a watch since I graduated high school... three years ago, but I have never been able to find the perfect watch that I was willing to wear around all day, every day. I looked at the ever so popular Michael Kors watches, Tag Heuer Watches and every other brand that my friends and family recommended to me. Nothing felt right. Until, I discovered <a href="http://www.danielwellington.com/us/women">Daniel Wellington</a>. Before Daniel Wellington I was looking at two brands, <a href="http://www.shoreprojects.com/collections/watches">Shore Projects</a> and <a href="http://www.thehorse.com.au/collections/watches">The Horse</a>, who both sold almost identical watches. While they are of a similar minimalistic style to Daniel Wellington, neither offered the simple elegance nor the rose gold detailing that Daniel Wellington did.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7qNbx9s6sGxPFARjQdMIgQsT5QVYq0nPRul4F4dS8yg5xuj2aaVlWfB8JuBtskyUCB9RzjwSz2VDk9kkJjZ74jT7wTyzyZ9TcWz7Tsu_BRwxmgbJUwN9djClA4fmDRFGoXzZIOjkLbXU/s640/blogger-image--2128419642.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7qNbx9s6sGxPFARjQdMIgQsT5QVYq0nPRul4F4dS8yg5xuj2aaVlWfB8JuBtskyUCB9RzjwSz2VDk9kkJjZ74jT7wTyzyZ9TcWz7Tsu_BRwxmgbJUwN9djClA4fmDRFGoXzZIOjkLbXU/s200/blogger-image--2128419642.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
About a month ago, I took the plunge and ordered my watch.<br />
<br />
I ordered the <a href="http://www.danielwellington.com/us/classic-sheffield-209">Classic Sheffield Lady</a>. When placing your order, you have the option of choosing either Rose Gold or Silver, and you can scroll through the website to find the face or strap colour/style that works best for you.<br />
<br />
I chose a black strap because of my preference for monochromatic colours, the standard white face and the rose gold case to ensure that the watch could tie together gold and silver jewellery.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvxsFjRWeoJvAugeG21V9-NHuygMKkgyhD6_2_rBzTHG1BYZdcWuSmo3K8xzY9R8TsR_1NeOLOt93PUklpVeeduG_ghntOmiHecq4epOiXRpBNEEyzciEtOQmP3kWnTCCp7DMsynH1JA/s640/blogger-image--907950198.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvxsFjRWeoJvAugeG21V9-NHuygMKkgyhD6_2_rBzTHG1BYZdcWuSmo3K8xzY9R8TsR_1NeOLOt93PUklpVeeduG_ghntOmiHecq4epOiXRpBNEEyzciEtOQmP3kWnTCCp7DMsynH1JA/s200/blogger-image--907950198.jpg" width="200" /></a>It took about three weeks to receive my watch (which was excruciatingly long to wait for something) but it was so worth it. After wearing it for about a week, I keep falling more and more in love with it. I find that because the watch is so simple, understated, and very different from the traditional Michael Kors watches that most girls wear around my university it is a great conversation starter. I've had so many girls come up to me and ask me about my watch, where I got it, and other questions along that train of thought. Seriously one of the better investments that I have made in the last year.<br />
<br />
I hope you guys found this post interesting! I'll post how I style my watch and what I wear jewellery wise everyday once I figure that out myself!<br />
<br />

<div>
It's apparently not all that simple. According to recent research, CBC reported that exercise won't stop sitting all day from potentially killing you.</div>
<div>
That is because sedentary behaviours for long periods of time can increase risk of colon, endometrial and lung cancers. Research shows that for each day, every 2 hour increase in sitting time saw an 8% increase in colon cancer, 10% increase in endometrial cancer, and a 6% increase in lung cancer.</div>

<br />
Pure and Utter perfection.<br />
<br />
She is also my favourite YouTuber<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Reasons why I love Claire:<br />
<br />
1. Her Hair<br />
2. Bruce Lee<br />
3. Her Love of Jeans and a T-Shirt<br />
4. Her Black Boot Collection<br />
5. Her Apartment<br />
<br />
I legitimately love everything about her. Plus she has unreal editing skills.<br />
<br />
Listing reasons aside, heres my explanation for my (un)healthy obsession with her.<br />
<br />
The first video I saw from HeyClaire was her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmD7a236Ig&list=UUJyfryZQsoN_ttLFe6vYKmw">Favourite Lipstick</a> video which she lip synced to Va Va Voom by Nicki Minaj, the editing on that video... so so good! The next video I watched was how she blows out her hair. This is what started my obsession with how she does her hair, leading me to her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc-a8AHcN4Y&list=UUJyfryZQsoN_ttLFe6vYKmw">Easy Beach Babe</a> hair tutorial... yup... if you've seen some of my hair posts on Instagram I totally do this hairstyle regularly.... From this video I began binge watching her videos... like 2-3 times. Not to be creepy just because I was legitimately taking what I was learning from her and applying it. Her hair isn't the only thing that is amazing, <a href="http://www.luvocracy.com/heyclaire">her</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbEzmj7OVwI&index=43&list=UUJyfryZQsoN_ttLFe6vYKmw">style</a> is similar to how I would like to style myself and her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGmFn7Ht4V8&list=UUJyfryZQsoN_ttLFe6vYKmw">black boot collection</a> is to die for. She epitomizes effortless chic!<br />
<br />
Also moment is needed for her cat... <a href="http://instagram.com/bruciferlee">Bruce Lee</a>.... he is so cute! Their relationship honestly makes me want to get a cat... even though I'm allergic.<br />
<br />
Finally her apartment... the way she's styled it, the brick walls, the stone the velvet couch... oh my....<br />
<br />
If you guys have never heard of heyclaire, I don't know what you've been doing on YouTube but you need to check her out!<br />
<br />
Below I've listed her YouTube and Instagram!<br />

<br />
I don't remember if I told you guys but my phone was stolen in August at Veld that had all of my pictures from Digital Dreams and Veld on them which was a major bummer. Why I was waiting to post about DD was because I was going to have a massively amazing post of the two concerts and compare them, run through my highlights, likes, dislikes, food everything! But alas my phone was stolen so I no longer have ANY pictures from Veld :( When I think about it, it still physically enrages me. You guys don't understand, I turned off my Google Drive auto- backup which was a) dumb and b) if I had it on I would have had my pictures from Veld, in order to save battery power... which to be fair I didn't need to do because I had a charging case on my phone... yup learn from me guys. LEARN FROM MY DUMB MISTAKES! ALWAYS turn on auto- backup.<br />
<br />
My rambling aside I'm going to actually get into the whole concert experience etc.<br />
<br />

Granted I am deeply, deeply disappointed that I could not go to the first day due to work.... [Insert angry pouty face here], I did have the best time at Day 2! Before I go into everything about the music I'll quickly run down of my timetable for the whole weekend.<br />
<br />
Saturday:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCRKlC4MpWhgutf8F281v71QMmSZH-48DuHeDyne7ySuCFHZrtHP-yJBjK7CjzxNZCTBhM4VZa4seoE2YF8BWGyZVepbsnzdAgFJPOXR9qIYL-T1Pk9S1JeHwN6OWdi_zIi49k0aRT_Ig/s1600/10668676_766820556693194_405049454_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCRKlC4MpWhgutf8F281v71QMmSZH-48DuHeDyne7ySuCFHZrtHP-yJBjK7CjzxNZCTBhM4VZa4seoE2YF8BWGyZVepbsnzdAgFJPOXR9qIYL-T1Pk9S1JeHwN6OWdi_zIi49k0aRT_Ig/s1600/10668676_766820556693194_405049454_n.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a>I worked a split shift. Meaning I was in to work at 11:30am, left at 3 and I was back at 5. This was no ordinary Saturday however. This was the Saturday of the Canada Day long weekend. So on a normal weekend, because of my split shift, my manager knowing I had an event to go to would have let me go around 9 and run one hostess down for the hour and a half until the dinner rush died down. This of course was the weekend where we were busy from 11:30 am until 1am. Thank Goodness everyone let me go early(ish) and I was out the door heading downtown to Toronto at 10:30.<br />
<br />
I met up with my friends at the Sheraton Hotel; for the last two years we have stayed here for the weekend and its so so so much fun, most of the people in the hotel are festival goers, its the long weekend AND who doesn't love staying with their friends in the heart of a city?<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />

Yes, you read that correct we were at the club until 4:30!! The DJ who was playing the club, Carnage, was amazing. He had a really good upbeat seat that was just the right amount of top 40s remixes and his own stuff.<br />
<br />

<br />
Sunday:<br />
<br />
We yell at Marina to be quiet, manage to sleep for another hour and stumble our way down Younge Street to Marche for the most amazing post dancing all night breakfast.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXtTbaLu3kgOK4Qj2lIZkaOgi561p7yKMiBmKR-SbdW8pwsce8kVbzEl8sXoP_n6DBaTgBcEgOZ-RgSdk14p5fg-edIyeGO7pGKgSJC-ZYkmiBN3eLY33l4KjAcjW18V0wWj21yX1YJYI/s1600/10501323_766820690026514_1616989962_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXtTbaLu3kgOK4Qj2lIZkaOgi561p7yKMiBmKR-SbdW8pwsce8kVbzEl8sXoP_n6DBaTgBcEgOZ-RgSdk14p5fg-edIyeGO7pGKgSJC-ZYkmiBN3eLY33l4KjAcjW18V0wWj21yX1YJYI/s1600/10501323_766820690026514_1616989962_n.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a>After breakfast us girls split off from the boys to head to Sephora to get foundation samples and try on makeup, because we all oddly enough had run out of foundation the night before and desperately needed new ones!<br />
<br />
After finishing shopping, we headed back to the hotel room where we meet up with our guys friends who promptly decided that it was time for lunch. The boys had beat us back (obviously) and had already showered and taken naps, so while we were getting ready they started making the plan for the day, which went something like this.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRvoCRV9HUgVeCBfVduCUOWKYli5Yfz3sxP_XPcnNtVxKjPNVB-AqlkuywAF_ZZAmNsOsjlMLIjBcHq6S4DD6GY5d2hYcmZ5DgjeaBO2SYmgivMqHdK2uTd2UkrLvWKlASVsGIftZcsZg/s1600/DDmap_integrated09_large-1024x746.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRvoCRV9HUgVeCBfVduCUOWKYli5Yfz3sxP_XPcnNtVxKjPNVB-AqlkuywAF_ZZAmNsOsjlMLIjBcHq6S4DD6GY5d2hYcmZ5DgjeaBO2SYmgivMqHdK2uTd2UkrLvWKlASVsGIftZcsZg/s1600/DDmap_integrated09_large-1024x746.jpg" height="233" width="320" /></a>Nap --> Food --> Pride Parade --> Food --> One of the guys was heading home --> two of our friends who weren't going to the festival were going to wander around the city --> The two Roasties head out to Digital Dreams.<br />
<br />
We all ended up napping and getting food, unfortunately Pride was an hour delayed which seriously conflicted with the Chainsmokers set at 3pm. Marina and I were really sad to have missed the opportunity to see and support our friends who were participating in the parade, but we both desperately wanted to see the Chainsmokers perform.<br />
<br />

This map --> is what it looked like, it was so well planned! I cannot tell you guys how well organized, and well thought out the entire event was. They had everything from places to sit, plenty of FREE water and they even had phone charging stations.<br />
<br />

This Stage was situated right by the lake, it was the 'deep house' stage, so the vibe was super laid back, very very chill and had a hill that you could sit on to overlook the crowd. From there we spent the rest of the day bouncing from the House of Boom, to the Dreams stage, and then back to the House of Boom picking up energy drink samples along the way.<br />

I honestly can not say enough good things about this event. If you guys have a way to get to Toronto for the Canada Day Long Weekend and really like EDM, this is totally the thing for you! Even if you don't really like EDM or are starting to get into it, this festival has enough 'popular' EDM ie. Tiesto, Chainsmokers, while still maintaing a good amount of smaller less 'big house' artists. My favourite acts of the entire day were; Chainsmokers (Obviously), they are talented DJs as well as ridiculously attractive, and Tiesto. I saw his set last year at Digital Dreams and was not as impressed as I was this year. Perhaps it was because this year he played his very popular Top 40s songs mixed into his traditional DJ set. Don't get me wrong I love a good trance set but when you can end the night screaming lyrics to a song that you hear on the radio 18 times a day just has a certain special something.<br />

<br />
The after party that we went to was at a Club called CODA and was played by Art Department.... I put ellipses after this because it honestly wasn't my thing. After a full day and night before of dancing like maniacs to crazy upbeat sets, Art Department was a little bit too laid-back. That being said, we didn't let that kill the vibe, we all headed back to the hotel room where we all chatted, hangout, had tickle fights and slept. <br />

Probably one of the best weekends of summer... not going to lie.<br />

Good Afternoon Everyone!<br />
<br />
Despite the weather today being warm and sunny with no clouds in the sky. It was just yesterday that clouds rolled in, temperatures dropped, the wind picked up, and it started to rain. What is life Canada, what is life?<br />
<br />
That being said it is that time of the year where fashion changes, we start to wear more clothing, Sperry's turn into boots and t-shirts get layered under flannels and sweaters.<br />
<br />
Before the weather changes too too much, I thought I would post about what I think everyone should have in their closet for this time of year. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
1. A Wind- Breaker<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuF2OtEfWjx8QY9SzhyphenhyphenCLKFDxtZc1zj4tuj-zlqe6PV1J5pV2wDdclMC281BN_dIhMMI2ZL346MUa2CGd6BW5Q9kZEn26FwAOA-YOGvZFPFhEITFmbVHaBg1Y1aqsKAW6pzBa2sigh5hc/s1600/Arcteryx-Womens-Alpha-SL-Black-Ski-Jacket-04af32e0-639f-40ab-b8b6-8e6f72882235_320.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuF2OtEfWjx8QY9SzhyphenhyphenCLKFDxtZc1zj4tuj-zlqe6PV1J5pV2wDdclMC281BN_dIhMMI2ZL346MUa2CGd6BW5Q9kZEn26FwAOA-YOGvZFPFhEITFmbVHaBg1Y1aqsKAW6pzBa2sigh5hc/s1600/Arcteryx-Womens-Alpha-SL-Black-Ski-Jacket-04af32e0-639f-40ab-b8b6-8e6f72882235_320.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
It doesn't matter where your wind break comes from and long as it is waterproof and protects you against the wind.<br />
<br />
My personal favourite brand is Arc'teryx. While these may be on the pricier side, I am a firm believer that investing in good quality pieces that will last for years is the best, most affordable strategy.<br />
<br />
Wind- Breakers are important because of their functionality. While the trendy, military inspired cotton jacket looks cute and keeps you warm when the sun is shining it will not keep you warm when there is wind and rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Rain Boots<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpE2edGUcv9QJ6u13AeMdS7bblyelzf-SmxxvfVr0K4ZcU6csM5lVie1zvxLROZO0dKOe1Bh5MUomLfCOy5FhAT6VKarzbP8wZWapaisJXYKCTLswVxcHN0mfdB4BwssNjhEuL4QBZ2XM/s1600/IMG_1268.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpE2edGUcv9QJ6u13AeMdS7bblyelzf-SmxxvfVr0K4ZcU6csM5lVie1zvxLROZO0dKOe1Bh5MUomLfCOy5FhAT6VKarzbP8wZWapaisJXYKCTLswVxcHN0mfdB4BwssNjhEuL4QBZ2XM/s1600/IMG_1268.jpg" height="183" width="200" /></a><br />
Any rain boots will do, but my favourite are Hunters. No particular rhyme or reason as to why I like them so much.... It may have to do with the fact that they are a part of my universities "uniform" so it is conditioned into me to wear Hunters... That being said, any pair of rain boots will suffice; as long as they are comfy and keep your feet dry.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
3. Parapluie aka Umbrella and a Water Resistant Bag.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_37STNY0hWAxN59qKb-chg6TxrfoeznPF4iLKi24jr-CIfNAZB9sNIVbtVIBGwhSv8PQae25E7G4D6iQU1Qh5KyhyphenhyphenRtnq48FKzqvG8zosuPlCdjXtk7hvjB9h5OIu01Opn7qSY-mpkCY/s1600/p1120100_zps5d50b011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_37STNY0hWAxN59qKb-chg6TxrfoeznPF4iLKi24jr-CIfNAZB9sNIVbtVIBGwhSv8PQae25E7G4D6iQU1Qh5KyhyphenhyphenRtnq48FKzqvG8zosuPlCdjXtk7hvjB9h5OIu01Opn7qSY-mpkCY/s1600/p1120100_zps5d50b011.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
Umbrellas are uber important yes, but no one ever thinks about a water proof bag. People water proof their bags by: wrapping their computers in garbage bags, wearing the ever cute garbage bag 'poncho', and by doing my all time favourite, plain staying inside. However, there is a solution to this issue. Armed with an Umbrella, a Rain Jacket, Rain Boots, and a Water Resistant Bag and you are set.<br />
The Longchamp Le Pillage bag in Nylon is the perfect solution. They are for sure on the pricey side, but in terms of protecting my laptop it's mostly worth it... a garbage bag will however do the exact same job.<br />
<br />

While this is true for most of the Western World, there is still a brand craze surrounding Asia.<br />
<br />
Why is there this disparity?<br />
<br />
Cultural differences, new money vs. old money, socio- economic status etc.<br />
<br />
This being said, we can't always get around logos or avoid shopping from brands. So without further ado. My list of 'acceptable' purchases from these brands and how I would style them.<br />
<br />
Please note that my version of acceptable may be totally different than yours. These views are my own and DO NOT reflect any affiliation with any corporation.<br />
<br />
Abercrombie & Fitch:<br />
<br />
There is so much hate surrounding this brand, specifically by me on their stance on black....<br />
<br />
They've got pink, an awkward colour of green that I have never looked good in and navy blue.. but no black.<br />
<br />
Why.<br />
<br />
As a mono- chromatic fiend this store is especially hard for me to stomach on certain accounts.<br />
<br />
My favourite items from Abercrombie are their flannels. Trust. Their flannels are great alternatives for the ones you see in Urban Outfitters or Aritzia.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM8ZFbSsEPi3RfOp3J76Lk3LcQzCWh66zcpbdg4wxM4nKb9YG-0P1-EpO8KpFtzTaJ3rPj2BhaSphiNkDBK7XVhSzzLcRDdgo9vAm-AYUSuyMZtO7Sjmbxw-zOjwv5FX7Yyur90p7Hu4M/s1600/anf_78440_05_prod1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM8ZFbSsEPi3RfOp3J76Lk3LcQzCWh66zcpbdg4wxM4nKb9YG-0P1-EpO8KpFtzTaJ3rPj2BhaSphiNkDBK7XVhSzzLcRDdgo9vAm-AYUSuyMZtO7Sjmbxw-zOjwv5FX7Yyur90p7Hu4M/s1600/anf_78440_05_prod1.jpeg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Get one of their flannels in a size or 2 larger than you would initially wear, put on your favourite dark skinny jeans, white converse, white tee and a baseball cap and no one will look twice one of these tied around your waist.<br />
<br />
<br />
Besides that I am guilty of owning a few pairs of Hollister & Co jeans... JUST because when they have their $25 sale it is so tempting to get a few pairs to mix up the wardrobe when my tried and "True's" (my true religion skinny jeans) start getting worn 5-6 days a week.<br />
<br />
PINK:<br />
<br />
Ok. So they've got logos on everything... I mean EVERYTHING.<br />
<br />
But you can't deny that their sweaters are comfy! I'm guilty of owning a few of these as well as their Roots counterparts...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To be honest. When you are having a super lazy day one of these bad boys with jeans/leggings and boots/ sneakers are a really easy go to.<br />
<br />
Half zips are the perfect year round sweater, so I say if you've found a brand you like, even if the brand slaps logos on it everywhere if it works for you then wear that logo with pride. (Unless the brand associated with the logo advocates for child labour, sweatshops and inhumane work conditions)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Designer Brands<br />
<br />
I'm lumping all designer brands into this list because it's not really something that we as regular university students find ourselves dressing from head to toe in. However we all have seen that one individual who has managed to dress themselves, their children, and their dogs in head to toe designer. It's impressively tacky and I question the meaning of life when I see things like that.<br />
<br />
Don't be that person.<br />
<br />
We've all seen that one person in the mall who wears the full on Juciy Track Suit in public... as comfy as they must be it just isn't done anymore.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdxaD6V7CsURFslvA6VjrCRuvUOaeNfxNX4y15IN3OZfNjLypVWstz-Pail_F-n77CkcY-7fv43lqqEoApmbUJp28e71zL5Wz72ONvvRNuN47DtJNTYOwWR_ICKMJR86KKPGoB91xPrQ/s1600/philton1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdxaD6V7CsURFslvA6VjrCRuvUOaeNfxNX4y15IN3OZfNjLypVWstz-Pail_F-n77CkcY-7fv43lqqEoApmbUJp28e71zL5Wz72ONvvRNuN47DtJNTYOwWR_ICKMJR86KKPGoB91xPrQ/s1600/philton1.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>Times may change and walking around in head to toe velour with Ugg boots on will come back but for now don't do this...<br />
<br />
<br />
Branding aside, at the end of the day wear what makes you comfortable and confident.<br />
<br />

Over my last weekend before leaving for university I visited a lavender farm 40 minutes outside of Toronto. Idyllically set in the middle of farm country, surrounded by trees, the lavender farm transports its visitors to Provenance. Upon arrival, we were greeted by one of the staff who directed us to a parking lot conveniently situated next to the horse ranch that is owned by Terre Bleu. After parking we are given a quick run down of the different types of lavender and also the other agricultural activities of the farm. </div>

From the farm we bought lavender honey, which is the best thing in life! </div>

<br />
I'm sorry it's been ages since I've posted! The last few weeks have been a chaotic mess of travel, exams, quitting my job, and a music festival!<br />
<br />
I was looking over my last monthly music favourite post which I feel is abysmal in terms of explaining why I like each song and giving you guys insight into my taste in music. This <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTlWW97rjz7O-Qu89pZFqbmoXmcyOpfv8">month</a>, I've decided to write a little bit about the songs.<br />
<b style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><b style="text-indent: -18pt;"> </b><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">The first song that I have been singing constantly in my head this month is</span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTlWW97rjz7O-Qu89pZFqbmoXmcyOpfv8" style="text-indent: -18pt;">Seeya by deadmau5</a><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">is my ‘I’m about to kill someone song’. Yes I have an; ‘I’m about to kill someone song’. To explain I’m not actually about to kill someone just after work when I messed up and got in trouble with a manager or had a batch of difficult customers I would blast this song in the parking lot on my drive home and it made everything better. Not only is the bass killer, the lyrics are amazing. Honestly you just need to listen to them. A few of my favourite lines are; “Don’t wake me up I’m winning wars inside my head / And maybe I’m weak but not beneath the covers of this bed / Asleep, I’m undefeated in this world of mine”. Effectively the entire first verse is my absolute favourite. Other lyrics that I love are: “Don’t try to save me when my mind is finally free”, “It’s not enough for me to paint in black and white/ inside my head there are shades of red unknown to waking life”. I don’t know what it is but the overall tone and feel of the song resonates with me.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -18pt;">
The second song that I have been in love with this month is a song obsession/ artist obsession that has been persisting since April is Love Me Again by John Newman. John Newmans voice to begin with is fantastic and incredibly unique which he further enhances with his blend of Disco and Alternative Pop Rock. It's amazing, plus the song is about a couple that is questioning getting back together. Anyone who's gone through a relationship again has questioned if they could be loved again. Love Me Again is an upbeat song, that is catchy and deals with a subject matter that anyone can relate too.<br />
<br />
<br />
The third song is Sing by Ed Sheeran. For anyone who a) hasn't heard this on the radio b) heard of Ed Sheeran or c) lives under a rock and hasn't heard really really amazing talent, this is a good introduction song. This song is much more up beat and lighter than Ed Sheerans' 'typical' style but he did mention that this song was originally supposed to be off an album entirely produced by Pharrell Williams! Two of my favourite artists on one album would let me die happy! As for the song, this two chord wonder has amazing musicality in terms of the combination of Ed Sheerans' talents on the guitar (found in the difficult strum pattern) and Pharrells' amazing producing it is a must.<br />
<br />
The fourth song is Wake Me Up by Ed Sheeran. Why I love this song is because it is flat out, unequivocally adorable. Enough Said<br />
<br />
The fifth song is Dibby Dibby Sound by DJ Fresh. Just listen. Listen and love and question the noises coming from your speakers.. Also this song was featured in a Teen Wolf episode, which is how I found it.<br />
<br />
Skipping down a few songs, at number nine is the song Wanderlust by the Weekend. Well... if you haven't heard this one than you should really, really, go check it out! Here are all the many reasons why I love this song.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> It makes me happier than words can describe</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> His voice</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> Pharrells' producing</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> Just about everything about this song!! </span></li>
</ol>
The last song that I want to talk about is GRiZs' song The Future is Now. Why might you ask, did I include an EDM song in my mostly pop-rock, top 40s' list this month. Well, I will explain. Over the August Long Weekend (Aug 2nd and 3rd for you non- Canadians) I went to a music festival in Toronto called <a href="http://veldmusicfestival.com/">VELD</a>. Arguably one of the best weekends of my summer! I had the best time with some crazy, crazy, people. Crazy in a good way I should add. But GRiZ was not only one of the most standout lineups that I saw over the weekend but there is another more 'personal' reason why this song is a favourite, relating to a boy and I'm not going into too many details because Idon'twanttojinxitbutireallyreallylikehim. </div>

<br />
Sorry for the serious amount of text heavy posts recently! They are just so much easier to create when I'm in exam/essay mode. Don't worry I will have some new fashion and what I did today style posts coming out shortly but for the mean time.... I made a playlist of the songs that I was legitimately obsessed with throughout June.<br />
<br />
I mean I'm pretty sure I contributed a hefty amount to the views on these videos.<br />
<br />
So I figured since I'm majorly obsessed with music... like I'm always listening to something I thought I would share what I've been loving for each month in one convenient youtube playlist.<br />
<br />
This month I was having a serious old school sound through back, like Chromeos' Jealous and Pharrells' Marilyn Monroe have this serious old school, laid back sound which I love!<br />
<br />
And since Ariana Grandes new single just dropped this month my obsession with her has been rekindled and not that it ever goes away it just jumped into hyper drive!<br />
<br />
Also! For those of you who got a bit of a shock when people started singing in a different language, its Korean, no I sadly don't understand it but I just really like how it sounds!<br />
<br />
All of this being said... heres the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTlWW97rjz7N0nFRfeDbYbOp8O5KhMFR8">playlist</a>!<br />
<br />
Steph!<br />
<br />
P.S. Do you guys like me doing favourites posts like this? I'll be for sure doing a fashion and beauty favourites but do you guys want a lifestyle favourites where I post the playlist, tv shows, life events etc??<br />

<span style="text-indent: 36pt;">Up until my first year at
university working out had never been at the forefront of my mind. Throughout
high school I was constantly involved in sports so the idea of ‘hitting the
gym’ after volleyball practice never crossed my mind. Well it never crossed my
mind until there was the threat of the freshman 15! Being the slightly socially
awkward person I am, the thought of working out in the school rec centre in
front of all those people is daunting to me. I know that everyone says that no
one really cares but it’s more of me being uncomfortable getting started doing
something like gasping for breath on a treadmill in front of strangers or
awkwardly doing pushups with bad form.</span></div>

<br />
As I was looking in my fridge tonight I realized that I was due for a trip to the super market in the next couple of days and figured that today would be the day I share with you my 'End of the Week, Cure for Everything, because it has everything in it Juice"<br />
<br />
This recipe changes weekly depending on what I have left in my fridge and what needs to be eaten right away.<br />
<br />
There are two steps in this entire process.<br />

<br />
Step 1: Cut up any fruits and vegetables that won't fit in the mouth of your juicer.<br />
<br />
Some people don't need to cut up their fruits and vegetables. Those are lucky, lucky people. The juicer that I have inherited hails from my father when he was living alone... before he meet my mother...<br />
<br />
That's how old this thing is.<br />
<br />
Needless to say it gets the job done.<br />

<br />
My one tip for you guys is if you are blending anything like kale or any herbs (ie. parsely, basil), blends those first!<br />
<br />
As always let us know what you think in the comments below and enjoy!<br />

<br />
Disclaimer: In no ways am I suggesting that I am an expert but I do have first hand experience :)<br />
<br />
I have really long hair. I mean really long... and I've had long hair for as long as I can remember.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can maybe see here, it's long, it's half asian, it's heavy, and there is a lot of it. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To get things started I thought I would share with you all my go to when I want to blow dry my hair routine. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before we get into it I would like to mention that this is something that I do every once in a while and by no means do I do this daily. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those of you who have been following my foodie international series you can probably tell that there is a distinct trend of South Asian Cusine. I will eventually get to other regions but I thought I would first post about food and restaurants that I frequent often! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Japanese Restuarant that I go to most is called Sushi Tei. It's a bit of a hike from my house but we go there because it's the best quality and price we've found in our years living in the greater Toronto area. </div>
<div>

To start Green Tea comes complimentary with every meal. It's amazing! I can drink a full pot of it by myself in one sitting. The flavour is strong enough that you don't feel like you are sipping on lukewarm water but it isn't as strong as for an example Jasmine Tea. </div>

My dad always orders a side dish of kimchi and rice. I'm not sure when he started doing this, but he's gotten me slightly hooked on it as well! Kimchi is fermented Nappa Cabbage or Daikon Raddish that is prepared with Red Chilli Powder. </div>

At Sushi Tei the beer that we order is Ashai. I honestly couldn't tell you the difference between Ashai and Sapporo having never compared them side by side but if you guys want me to do that comparison let me know in the comments below! </div>

One of my moms all time favourite dishes is the Tako Sunomono salad. It's a seaweed based salad with ebi (shrimp), cucumber, crab and a variety of vegetables. Because of the octopus this dish may not be for everyone but if you are an adventurous eater then this is a must try! </div>

As my preference is Sashimi either Hamachi (yellow tail), Maguro (tuna) or Sake (salmon). Despite my usual preference of Maguro I chose to order Sake just to change things up and make it interesting! </div>

As for rolls, we ordered Rainbow Roll which is an assortment of sashimi laid over a California roll and Dynamite Roll which is shrimp tempura in seaweed and rice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Dynamite Roll is my favourite Make (roll of rice and seaweed wrapped around a filling). The crunchiness of the Tempura Filling offsets the rice and seaweed nicely. This roll has a very subtle flavour so for those of you who are new to Sushi or who simply don't like raw fish, I recommend you give this a try!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Rainbow Roll is something that my dad often orders so I can't say too much about it. I do like this roll, but it is not one of my favourites. For those of you who like a variety of flavours in one dish then this is perfect for you! </div>

Hey Everyone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In Canada because we are a commonwealth country we celebrate Queen Victorias birthday with the festivities that are Victoria Day long weekend, or as I like to call it May 2-4. Oddly enough the long weekend doesn't fall on May 24th but the weekend before that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On the monday of the long weekend Marina, her friend from school and myself all clamoured onto a train into the city and then hopped onto a ferry to Centre Island to go to a concert hosted by Electric Island. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We were a little hesitant about it at first but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. It was very different from any other concert as this was a 19+ event and it was a smaller venue where most of the concert goers had brought picnic blankets so they could stretch out, enjoy the sun and listen to the music. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Below are some pictures from the event, hope you guys enjoy! </div>

Since I was unsure if it was going to be cold on the island I decided to dress for intermediate temperatures with layers that I could take on and off if I got too hot or cold. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What I wore: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For clothing I wore a black racer back American Apparel body suit paired with a pair of American Eagle high-waisted light wash destroyed denim shorts. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tied around my waist I had one of my favourite flannel Abercrombie& Fitch plaid shirts to layer incase I got cold. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The hat that I am wearing is a Sapporo baseball cap that I won while at the concert and the shoes that I am wearing are my pair of Frye Combat Boots that I wear Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter! </div>
