Wednesday, October 16, 2013
Everyone has that one insecurity that just tops all insecurities in their life. It may seem stupid to others, but to them it's their main worry in their life. My insecurity is Hyperhidrosis. Before you all go "ermegerd it has 'sis' at the end that means its this big disease" relax, it's not even considered a disease. You can't die if you have...

New Bathroom Cabinet

Tuesday, October 15, 2013
On Friday, my family and I stopped by Canadian Tire to pick up a bathroom space saver for my bathroom. Since I have no proper vanity, I've been using my bathroom mirror as a substitute, and lots of 'crap' (as my mom once called it) has squeezed its way to my two small drawers underneath my sink area and even the teeny bits...

Crazy Statement Hair

Saturday, October 12, 2013
Early this past Monday morning, when the happiness of school had yet to begin, my dearest friend named Arden (who I know is reading this) decided to create a leash out of my hair, as apparently, I was her dog now. She made five braids out of half of my hair, coming out the left side of my head, and tied them together...

Prismacolor Soft-Core Pencil Crayons Review

Saturday, October 05, 2013
Some shots of my jelly bean jar drawing using Prismacolor Soft-Core Pencil Crayons. A few weeks back, I was assigned to create a portfolio cover using only pencil crayons as the medium. I usually hate having to colour with pencil crayons because all I had was those standard Crayola ones, and those are really tough to work with to create something with depth...

Monday, September 23, 2013
I'm a beauty lover. Face pampers, fancy hair-dos, makeup, cute clothes - you name it; It's what makes us girls! But I've definitely noticed the soaring high prices for beauty products, and being the frugal gal I am, I dug real deep into the world of household tips and tricks to get my share of the beauty world. One thing that kept popping...

Being Awkward and What to do About It

Thursday, September 12, 2013
"Sometimes the path can seem a bit lonely. That's okay. Keep walking anyway." -Katrina Mayer I am naturally an awkward person. I hate meeting new people in fear of making them feel uncomfortable when I can't find ways to carry on a conversation with them. I'm known to be on the sidelines and is hardly ever acknowledged by people I'm not close to....

DIY Rose Lights

Thursday, August 22, 2013
Christmas lights all year around seems to becoming quite a trend in teenage girl's bedrooms lately. Many use them to embellish headboards, boarder door frames and use icicle lights above windows to mimic a starry night. If you're lucky, you'll have white coloured Christmas lights, which will match any bedroom colour scheme. But if you're like me and got stuck with Christmas tree...

The Bucket List Project

Tuesday, August 20, 2013
So, I've recently decided to create my own snazzy list of things I would like to do before I die, also known as a bucket list. I look at bucket lists as a record of long term goals to achieve, whether they are "once in a lifetime" experiences, or smaller achievements I would like to accomplish before I die.  I think it's something...

This evening my parents, Isabel and I went for a nice bike ride out (another good excuse to get my butt off the couch!) It was a beautiful evening, and the nature trail was wonderful, as always! Like any avid photo taker, I risk dropping my nifty phone camera to take some lovely nature snaps: ...

With my best friend, Isabel, we helped out with the arts and crafts station at a local vacation bible school day camp.

Introduction and Funny Nicknames

Tuesday, August 13, 2013
Hello blogging world! I'm not quite sure how to go about my first blog post, so I'll make this quick! A few quick facts about me: I'm right brained, so I suck at grammar and all that crap I'm not old and wise (or anywhere near being middle aged) which means I have a lot of learning and experiencing to do I have...
