Lift And Be Lifted
What is the best thing you’ve ever done for yourself? Two years ago, I decided to take up resistance training, also known as “Lifting”. Let me tell you. Lifting is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. It changed my life in so many ways. For example. Lifting has made shopping easier. My favourite store in the world is Costco. All my necessities, and a little extra something-something, I can buy it there in bulk! However, hauling groceries into the house once I get home, not my favourite chore. You see, I would have had 3000 steps already roaming around the store. Adding more to that, going back and…

Blue Dress, Three Ways
I’ve owned this blue dress for possibly ten years. Back in the day, my husband and I went to Vegas a couple of times a year. In the Spring for the WPPI photography conference, and sometimes in the Fall for a short vacation. In one of those trips, I found this dress at the massive H&M in The Shops at the Coliseum. I bought the dress, and for the last ten years, has only been worn a couple of times. I rediscovered it and thought, I should try styling it three ways! Sporty Red and blue go well together. So, I paired this with a thrifted red turtleneck from Talize.…

Date Nights
Years ago, when my husband and I started dating, we enjoyed going out to dine at different restaurants, and enjoy the ambience, the food, the service, etc. Nowadays, especially around wintertime, the typical date night in our household would seem nonexistent to most. At our age, we couldn’t be bothered to venture out into the cold. Don’t get me wrong. I do appreciate it when my husband takes me out. I like to get dolled up sometimes. But what I enjoy more is cooking dinner at home, devouring the fruits of my labour, and sharing the experience with him. I love browsing through my numerous cookbooks for inspiration and figure…

Upcoming Movies: No Time To Die, WW84, Mulan.
Yesterday, New Year’s Day, my husband and I finally got to see Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker in theatres. While the conclusion of this recent Star Wars Trilogy had me satisfied, what got me pumped even more were the trailers for upcoming movies that almost serve as a pre-game of some sorts. In case the audience is not excited enough to see the feature film they all paid for to enjoy. James Bond: No Time To Die Movies about guns and cars? Not my cup of tea. Unless the fight and chase scenes are meticulously choreographed, and the cinematography boasts creatively composed frames with genius use of light and shadows.…

2020
2020. A new decade. A new chance. A chance to a life better than what you currently have. If I’m being truthful, I already have everything I need. A loving husband. Two beautiful dogs. They make us happy each day. A supportive circle of family and friends. Secure careers. A home. And yet… …I feel somewhat lost. Along the way, I lost my sense of me. Who am I supposed to be? From now on, this space will act as the place to document my journey of self re-discovery. Anything I find interesting, I shall write. Books. Food. Travel. And yes, personal style. For someone who speaks as succinctly as…
