I’ve decided I’m going to start drawing and painting this summer as much as possible. 

It’s relaxing and something I absolutely adore…

BIG TIME job interview today, wish me luck! I’ve always wanted to work downtown in the midst of all the busyness…. 

Happy St. Patty’s Day everyone! Today is a very special day for me because I’m going out for a fancy sushi supper with my boyfriend… It feels like ages since we went on a good old dinner date!! Then off to a pub with some friends to maybe have my first green beer? ;)

I’m going to try my best to not think about all the homework I have and instead have one jolly night of fun! Hope everyone’s weekend is just as swell as mine <3

You know, it’s just wonderful to see the natural beauty in others.

Take away the brand names, packed on make-up, glasses, straightened hair, etc. & leave just you. 

It feels refreshing, healthy.

Another thing, people always look their best when they’re in their natural hair colour… I wish I would’ve realized that when I was younger and had thought it was cool to colour hair.

I like wearing contacts. When I’m hidden behind glasses I seem to feel like I need to be more done up to look pretty. I think it’s because the lenses make my eyes look smaller.

This picture right here makes me feel fabulous just as I am. Too many people focus so much on the materialistic things girls use to look stunning. When really, at least in my opinion, oh natural is so much more admirable and simply divine. <3

Do you ever get the feeling of just being lost and unable to know what to do with yourself? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately. I feel like there’s so many things I need to do whether it be school, dance, or work related. But then when I sit down and try getting something accomplished, I just have no idea what I should do. & Then I feel like there’s nothing really I need to do. Then I start thinking about really deep, meaningful things. What do I really want out of life? What kind of person do I want to be? Am I living to be remembered or to just be happy? It’s quite strange. Hopefully these feelings will go away soon!

Here’s something else I was able to do in celebration of Valentine’s Day! My friend Emily had a bunch of girls over to enjoy some sweets and catch up! It was a really nice afternoon and I think I’m going to host the next one and make it Mardi Gras themed!

My boyfriend and I went to The Vow last night as a belated celebration of Valentine’s Day, which was also the marking point of us to have been dating for a year and a half! Woo hoo! Actually this whole weekend was a celebration since it was family weekend. We went out with friends, we made supper together (chicken, wagon wheel pasta with rosa sauce, and corn - delicious!), we went to dance class together twice (I guess that’s not anything unusual though), and then The Vow. It’s actually a beautiful movie, the only thing I wished for was more! It seemed like such so short but I suppose it’s just because I loved it so much. I wish every weekend could be this enjoyable. Unfortunately, it’s only so wonderful because I have this next week of from university, reading week! I’m going to cherish every second because I’m usually most always extremely busy.

On actual Valentine’s Day though we did do a bit of a celebration. We bought each other single roses. He gave me red and I gave him blue. He also gave me a box of chocolates and I gave him his favourite chocolate bar, Mr. Big. Then we sat at his kitchen table all night, ate Quiznos, and did homework. The life of two struggling university students haha. I thought it was funny we both got each other such similar gifts! I guess that’s one of the many reasons why we’re together…
