Fashion - Wilfred Sweater


So it has been almost a year since I purchased a very popular Wilfred sweater. It is one of the most comfy, cozy, yet cute sweaters I own. Even after owning it and wearing it for the past year I stil receive compliments on it.

So here I have to say Thank You Wilfred sweater and may you live on in the wardrobes of 1000s!

The Graduate

So I have been thinking lately about the purpose of this blog, documenting my life as a graduate. My posts have been very few lately and the ones I have posted have been very well blah, and this is because life of a graduate really isn`t all that interestning. I am now going to sum up life as a graduate in a few points.

1) Graduates worry about the future. What to do, where to go, and how to get there.
2) Graduates worry about applying for grad school. Will I get in? Who do I ask for references? Where do I find the time to apply?
3) Graduates are still busy busy busy, and wonder how they ever did school and life.
4) Graduates are still broke even though they are no longer paying for school.
5) Graduates, just a mere 7 months after graduating, get asked for money from there former school.
6) Graduates realize that the last 4 years they spent busting there ass getting an undergraduate degree really gets you nothing but a piece of paper.


7) Instead of counting down the number of exams left, graduates count down the days until Christmas. 1 Month today and Christmas will be here!

Moving On...

I`ve been struggling with the concept lately of moving on. Often times we find ourselves complacent in our lives and day to day routines. They maybe great and all, but at what point do you decide that it is time to move onto bigger (and sometimes better) things?

So I`m in this phasing where I am considering moving half way across the world. I know for a fact i`d miss my family, friends and the whole familiarity of Pickering, Toronto and Hamilton, but at what point do I say ok it`s time to move on?

Apples (we all love them)

6 years ago (to the day), a special friend sent me an email, that at the time probably thought had very little meaning and was just some silly forward. But throughout the 6 years since it was sent I think about the email and the principle behind it often.



Women are like apples on trees: the best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy......So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along - the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Share this with other women who are good apples - even those who have already been picked!

Christmas Countdown

So this weekend I managed to get half (yes HALF) my christmas shopping done!

Only 31 more shopping days left! :)
