About Me

Hi there and thanks for stopping by my blog. I have been a long time blog reader and I decided to create my own blog to post my thoughts on every day life, talk about TV shows and movies, reflect on fashion and share some of my travel spots. Of course let's not forget about FOOD! I have some featured ongoing posts on my blog such as Style for Days and Eat Here Before You Die, regular outfit posts as well some more spontaneous thoughts that I hope you enjoy.

I am a proud Canadian living and working in our Nation's Capital, Ottawa Ontario. I love reading, traveling, movies, dogs, shopping and of course dinning out with my loved ones (or anyone that loves food for that matter). I wouldn't say I am an active person as I currently work in a "desk job". But when the mood strikes, I love being active outside by running or walking and I consider tanning an "outdoor activity" ;-)

Like everyone, I have had some ups and downs. In 2010 I was laid off from my job of 10 years, 2 weeks before Christmas. That is what lead me to Ottawa and I love it here so it all worked out for the best. I suffered a sever back injury in 2009 and had a disc removed from my spine (L5-S1 in case you are interested). I recovered very well and now I try not to take my health for granted while also balancing the joys of life and reckless abandon!

Dress: BCBG
Boots: Nine West

I was born in Vancouver BC and lived there until I was 12 when I moved to Ontario after my parent's divorced. I have family in Vancouver and go back often to visit. If you haven't been to Vancouver you really MUST go; put it on your bucket list!

My influences are who I consider strong, well rounded women with a sense of humor such as Kate Winslet and Tina Fey and of course my Mom and Sisters.

I am single and plan to stay that way until I meet the right man and I will not get married because I have to or because it is expected of me. I am me and I am different but I am open minded and I wish more people were as well. Thank you again for reading my blog and I wish you love and happiness now and for all your days to come!

Love,
