Hello beautiful friends,

I apologize for the long break between posts but I'm very busy studying day and night for a huge test that could be seriously life changing; so that means little time for other things and also not too many exciting outfits. I have been planning outfits in my head while I shower in the mornings haha. Sometimes the end results are not that great but this morning I liked how the outfit looked :)


Top: H&M| Jeans: Zara| Jean Jacket: Garage| Scarf: Tommy Hilfiger| Shoes: H&M| Wristlet: Coach
ps. these Zara jeans are the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned.

Work Out Motivation 6.0

Hello beauties,

I hope you're all ready for some fitness motivation? I know I am. As I am preparing for a very huge exam my stress levels have been at all time high so to fight it off I've definitely been relying on work outs :)
And remember, you don't have to spend hours a day working out! if you have 20 minutes in your day, run 10 minutes away from your house and back! or do a little mini work out. My favourites are from the Tone It UP ladies who I spoke about here. The other day the girl sitting next to me in the library was dressed in running gear. She studied for a few hours, then went for a run (about half an hour) then came back to studying. That my friends is dedication! People like that inspire me :)


Yes I know, another Harry Potter reference. I can't help myself! 


Best feeling ever. 


YES!


Ask any guy ;) 



True for everything in life! 


It's all about your mentality! 


This is very true :)


umm...I die. haha.

Outfit Of The Day: Study Day!

Hello darlings

I have another outfit post for you today. I'm on a roll! I spent all of today studying in the library so I wanted to wear something cute but comfortable. I don't really like studying in sweats because if I dress like I rolled out of bed, I'll feel like I rolled out of bed. Not a good feeling if you want to be productive. Is it just me or is anyone else like that? Since I didn't really feel like wearing pants, haha, I went for a dress and tights instead. The tights were totally a good idea, it was freezing in the library.


Dress: Zara| Jacket: Garage| Tights and Scarf: H&M| Shoes: Converse| Bag: Winners




Bracelet: ifancy

Yes it's the same bracelet from my previous post in a different colour :) I am so in love with these!  

Have a great day!

Things I'm Afraid To Tell You




I didn’t really want to do this post because that would mean I would actually have to think about these things and my feelings about them. Not to mention then posting it for the world to see. I wasn’t tagged to do this like most of the lovely ladies were but I felt inspired when I read Christine’s, because it sounded identical to how I feel. So here we go:

1.     I am a very shy person. This has gotten much better over the years but I am still sometimes painfully shy. I’ve tried to improve because I do feel that it holds me back sometimes. So this is a work in progress.

2.     I am extremely self-conscious. This kind of relates to the first one.  I guess you would be a bit surprised seeing how I take photos of myself and put them on the Internet for everyone to see. This is why it took me 2 years to work up the courage to start this blog.

3.     I am terrified of being a failure. I am in no way a slacker. Anyone who knows me in real life will tell you that I work hard in everything I do.  And one reason for that is my fear of failing in life and everything in general.  I know it’s all right to make mistakes in life and that’s how we learn but I still take it so hard every time. It is so difficult for me to get over a mistake I’ve made no matter how small it is.  Sometimes it takes me years to finally be ok with a mistake.

4.     I can be very sensitive. This can make things very difficult. I am constantly thinking of how other people feel right after I've said something to them. I am very aware of those around me and how they make me feel and vice versa. Can we say emotional overload? I don't even know if this is something that can be helped or changed but this is how I am. 

5.     I can be very jealous sometimes. I know this is a horrible trait and I usually catch myself and stop it but not always. I look at my friends who are successful and already where they want to be, especially those in medical school. And then think about how I’m not there yet and it’s taking me too long to get there. Don’t get me wrong I am happy for them but it can be very difficult not to let the green monster out. This one kind of goes with my third point.  

 There you have it! This was the hardest post I've ever had to do. I do hope however that this inspires you to do the same :)

Happy Mother's Day! ♥

Hello lovelies,

Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend so far. Today was mother's day here in Canada as some of you may know, so I spent it with my lovely family. After giving a little gift to my mom we took her out for brunch to Cora's which is a little tradition of ours :)
If you've ever been to Cora's you'll know how amazing the food is there! I shared their special breakfast and their eggs benedict with my mom and it was just heaven in my mouth. They also do this sweet little thing where they give all the mommies there a rose, how nice is that :)
After that we went for a little walk by the lake and took some photos. My mom is my best friend and my greatest support in life. She's also my photographer! Love you mom, thank you for being the most amazing woman in my life :)
Alright here are the photos of me and some cute little ducks! haha.
