Winter drinks at Second Cup

Published by

You can already feel the chill of winter whisking through the city. Breathe in that smell of frost and feel the cold air rush down your lungs and chill your entire body. Brr, I’m cold just thinking about it. With winter around the corner, I look forward to something a little more steamy this time of year. That being said, I would like to announce… SECOND CUP HAS THEIR WINTER MENU OUT! * HAPPY DANCE * Here are a few I’ll be trying this season! Let me know your favourites below! 🙂 Candy Cane Latte – “A delicious and refreshing hint of candy cane flavour, coupled with espresso and white chocolate notes.” Toasted Marshmallow Latte – “Perfectly pulled espresso and hand crafted microfoam meld marvellously with the sweetness of a marshmallow toasted to golden. Topped off with a cloud of toasted marshmallow flavoured whipped cream and our own butter-graham sugar sprinkles.” Holiday London Fog Tea – “Warm and soothing, a beautiful combination of black tea and microfoam with a hint of citrus and cherry.” Noel Nog – …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Published by

Hey everyone! I’m currently reading the fifth book of the Harry Potter series (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). I’ve never read the series as a child, so I’m catching up on all the hype. Better late than never. I’ve obviously already read Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire. Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite thus far. There were more adventures at Hogwarts, the plot had twists and turns with every chapter and you had more of an understanding of Harry Potter’s history with the introduction of the “real” Sirius Black. Having never read the books nor seen the last couple movies, I actually have NO idea what happens in the end. When someone mentions anything about the last book or movie, I immediately cover my ears (it’s happened on a few occasions). I’ll let you know how I like it when I finish! 🙂 What’s your favourite book in the series? Remember, don’t tell me ANYTHING that happens…or else…I’ll turn you into a toad. XO Jessica  

What I want for Christmas

Published by

I get it. Christmas isn’t for a month and a half, but I prepared my list for my family and friends to see, just incase they were wondering what lovely, materialistic things I want for the holidays. 😉 1. Headphones Whether I’m at school, reading or walking down the street, I have my I-Pod playing pretty much all day. I hate the little earbuds that come with your I-Pod. They keep falling from my ears and they break SO easily. I swear I’ve been through at least six of them within this past year. These ones are Beats By Dre, but any earphones that resemble this in any colour will be perfect! 2. Bedsheets I’ve had the same ones since high school. Time to be a grown up. I LOVE these ones from Urban Outfitters! Black and white patterns (like the photo below) are my favourite. 3. Clothes Rack ($12) I’ve wanted one for years, and I have no idea why I haven’t just gone out and got it for myself. Regardless, this one is …

Ten things I don’t like but wish I did

Published by

1. Basketball Growing up, I have memories of my hands being disgustingly covered with dirt and sweat from basketballs, and I hated that. Since then, I’ve always been turned off by the sport. I want to like it because I want to be able to slam dunk and casually dribble the ball through my legs like they do in Space Jam…but I just can’t. 2. Scrambled eggs I’ve never liked the smell or taste of eggs. However, once in a blue moon I’ll make sausage and toast and WANT to scramble some eggs because they’re easy to make and healthy for you, but I can’t get myself to eat them. They smell like feet. 3. Cats What a boring, vicious animal. All the do is creep up and bite you when you try to pet them. I want to like them because seeing pictures of kittens melt my heart, but I’m pretty sure they’re the spawn of satan. 4. Action movies My boyfriend has taken me to at least a dozen action movies. I would name …

Love Etc.

Published by

I felt a hundred different emotions after watching Love Etc. It followed the daily lives of 5 different couples (straight, gay, young, old, married) around New York City. At the end of the documentary, all the couples ended up differently. Some stayed together, some broke up, some got surprising news, etc. I felt emotionally connected to each couple, which is why I feel a mix of happy, angry, sad, endeared, and hopeful by the end. This was my favourite couple! They’ve been together for nearly 50 years! “Honey you need to get into bed.” “Not yet, I need to look cute *adjusts her hoodie ove her head* this is going to be a thing!”

I’M 22 TODAY

Published by

I’m having the best birthday so far! My boyfriend got Cirque Du Soleil tickets for us last night (amazing!) and my mom is currently making homemade lasagna (my fav!) for dinner. I’m a spoiled, lucky girl today! 🙂 I can’t wait to see what I’m going to do while I’m twenty two (that rhymed). Apparently it’s one of the best years of your life! Big decisions, beginning of a career, new relationships, friends, adventures, and graduation! I have a lot to look forward to at this age and I can’t wait to share them all with you, XO Jessica
