The Essence of You
“Never forget the essence of your spark.” That is my favourite quote of all time. Back in high school I was watching a Taylor Swift interview on YouTube and she explained that before each show during her Speak Now Tour, herself, her bandmates and her crew would put their hands in the middle of their circle and shout “never forget the essence of your spark” at the … Continue reading The Essence of You
Make Someone Else’s Day
New day. Stronger me. My 8am alarm goes off. I click snooze (don’t we all?) 5 minutes later I immediately pop up from my warm bed because I now only have 40 minutes to get ready, pack my bag for school, make a lunch, and look above average because it’s my graduation photo day. After 40 minutes of frantically getting myself together, I walk out … Continue reading Make Someone Else’s Day
Airbrush
Currently, I am working on an assignment about images present in social media. The purpose of the assignment is to note the reactions/comments from people when comparing the before and after images of the photoshopped photo. I used a photo that I took after my shower the other day. I put on minor foundation (because of my acne insecurities), but my hair was still wet. Then … Continue reading Airbrush

Happy Thanksgiving!
What are you thankful for? What does Thanksgiving mean to you? On this crisp fall Thanksgiving morning I sit on the couch in the house I grew up in. I began to daydream out the window while looking at the autumn coloured leaves. In that moment I was inspired to write today’s blog post. In Canada today is Thanksgiving Monday, but throughout the entire weekend families have come … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!

Be True to Yourself
I just watched an interview of Alicia Keys on The Today Show talking about her decision to be makeup-free and be her true self. Below is the video, and I highly advise you to watch it before you continue reading. Alicia brings up some points that really hit it out of the park for me. She’s being raw, truthful and honest.

New things
This week has been a whirlwind of new and exciting experiences. The first week back to school is always exciting. “New year, new me” is often the motto for many students who are looking to “improve” themselves compared to the previous year. I can testify with the motto because not only did I move house locations, gained new roommates, and lost a loved one, but I … Continue reading New things
Define you, do you.
Hola! Long time no chat eh? My last two/three months have been a little bit hectic.
