I've Got A Good Thing
Thank you to everyone who made it out to my little birthday shindig at The Queen's Republic on Thursday, and also to those who wanted to come, but couldn't. I'm truly blessed to have people in my life who constantly remind me of why life is so wonderful. For more photos, check out my Instagram.
My official birthday isn't until tomorrow and to be perfectly honest, I feel old (seriously, I'm still hungover!). I realize being 25 isn't a bad thing, though, and that not everyone can accomplish what I have at 25. I'm learning to celebrate my success because I deserve it and I've worked damn hard to get where I am.
My boyfriend and I are now off to Whistler as it's a long weekend here in Canada. We have an ATV tour planned for tomorrow afternoon, followed by soaking in the soothing outdoor baths at the Scandinave Spa, and then dinner at Bearfoot Bistro. Fingers crossed that the sun will make an appearance.
XOXO,

It would appear I have a lot to say:
- Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, including my amazing and incredible mama who selflessly gives her energy, time and love to me, even when I don't deserve it.
- I had the pleasure of seeing Sara Bareilles perform live at Rio Theatre with my friend, Diana, a few nights ago. Hearing her music resonates with me. There isn't one song that doesn't make me think of something significant in my life, whether that be an experience, a feeling, a person or a mixture of all three. Diana said it best when she said, "I'm sad her music isn't played on the radio more often. We are fed so much electronic, auto-tuned 'music' these days that we've forgotten what it's like to hear a person sing with just a microphone and a piano or guitar. I appreciate Sara Bareilles for her rawness and sheer dedication to her craft. And because she's just so freaking awesome."
- My hair's getting longer, plus I'm growing out my bangs, which means I now barely put effort into my hair, and by barely I mean no maintenance at all. To get my look, all you need to do is toss out your hairbrush, adopt a messy sleeping habit and whip your hair back and forth, Willow Smith style.
- I'm proud to say that my very first project on Aritzia's Digital team is now up on our Facebook page. To see it, click here and here.
- Exactly one week until my 25th birthday. My boyfriend and I going to Whistler for the long weekend, but if you're in Vancouver on Thursday, May 16th, please join me for a night of drinking, dancing and debauchery at The Queen's Republic. I'll be the girl in the lace dress.

I survived my first two weeks at my new role and I couldn't be happier. Starting a new job is always scary, or at least for me it's always scary. It's like the first day of school, but it's during the "uncomfortable," that you learn the most. I'm fortunate to work with such brilliant, driven and like-minded people who not only take pride in their work, but have a passion for what they do as well.
Bittersweet thoughts swirl inside my head, though, with the realization that today would've been my sister's 33rd birthday. I'd do anything to have her here with me. Rest in paradise, Linda. I love you and miss you more every day.
