You all know I love me some Miley.
My girl is the new celebrity face for Marc Jacobs, and it comes with no surprise. Not only because she got naked for the designer on a t-shirt for skin cancer awareness (which I’m still waiting for someone to purchase for me), but Miley has the Marc Jacobs edge down pat.
Totally love the ad (especially the red head who probably made a fortune for just laying down in the same position, lucky girl). What do you think of Miley and Marc working together again?
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF 2013!
If a new year is good for anything, it’s for clearing your mind from the past and start working toward the future. Anything that has happened this past year is irreverent. It’s old news. Time to start living in the moment. One movie you should watch that teaches you this important life lesson it’s “The Spectacular Now.”
As much as I would like for life to figure itself out and fall into my lap, I know it’s by living you live more, by waiting, you wait more. At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself.
Sutter: It’s fine to live in the now. But the best thing about now is that there’s another one tomorrow. I’m going to start making them count.
That’s my last tad of wisdom for the year. I love you all and thank every last one of you from the bottom of my heart for all the messages and comments you leave me that keep me smiling and optimistic. Cheers to the new year (and to wherever the heck I’m going to end up).
XO

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 12,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
1. What was the most exciting thing that happened to you in 2013?
There are too many to name just one! I graduated university, successfully completed two AMAZING magazines internships, went to New York City to go on job interviews, freelanced for amazing publications (including my own full page beauty spreads), had my own mini segment on CityTV for Toronto fashion week, made a ton of new friends and started playing volleyball again. Wow. I’ve accomplished a lot this year.
2. What was your favourite video you filmed this year?
New York City trip. Hands down, the best time of my entire life.
3. Best YouTube video of 2013?
I wouldn’t say this is the BEST video, but I discovered Superwoman this year and fell in love with her humour.
“People from my high school are like, getting engaged. To like, real people. Not, oh I’m going to marry a Backstreet Boy, but actually progressing in life.”
4. What was your favourite new product in 2013?
I chose five.
YSL Manifesto Perfume.
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Volumizing Mascara.
MAC Soft and Gentle Highlighter.
NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Yu.
LUSH Mint Julips Lip Scrub.
5. What new thing are you glad you tried in 2013?
Surfing in Tofino. Even though I almost got eaten by sharks and pulled under by rip-tides, I conquered my fear of deep water and I survived. Will I ever do it again? NOPE!
6. What’s the most important lesson you learned in 2013?
Things get worse before they get better.
7. What was the best movie of 2013?
From the top of my head I’d say “World War Z,” “Stuck In Love” and “The To-Do List.” All have thoroughly entertained me.
8. Best song?
Downtown – Lady Antebellum
This song has many good memories of the year attached to it.
9. Best TV show?
I’m choosing a handful.
New Girl, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Project Runway All-Stars, Amazing Race Canada, Parks and Recreation, Greys Anatomy annnnnnnnd Friday Night Lights.
10. What one product do you hope someone releases in 2013?
I’ve noticed my face has A LOT of redness. Probably have to do with acne scars and stress. There are probably a ton of products out there to help reduce redness, but I haven’t found a holy grail. If you know, PLEASE let me know in the comments below!
Ann: You know, Olive is a cute name if it’s a girl.
Chris: I prefer chickpea.
Ann: Because it’s lower in sodium?
Chis: Yes, exactly.
Headband: Aldo
Sweater: Goodwill
Necklace: Ardene
Dress: Urban Outfitters
Nylons: H&M
Boots: Pink&Pepper
Lips: Nars – Yu
I read this paragraph in Frankie Magazine and it made me giggle. Thought you’d enjoy it as well.
“We’re all gonna die; might as well do whatever the fuck you want. Remembering what a tiny grain of sand I am always makes me want to take bigger and better risks, even if they are just entertaining to me in the moment. Because seriously, who cares? It’s all about turning tragedy into funny stories that can’t hurt you anymore, and doing weird shit that you can tell your friends about later, and then you get to see them full-on laughing and it makes you really happy.”
– Kathleen Hanna
Can this please be my wedding song?
Anyone else watching the X-Factor? I’m obsessedddddd with this couple!
This was MUCH needed.
Also, look at what I got in my fortune cookie last night…
WHEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN?!?!?!
I’m guilty of being extremely hard on myself…..with everything.
I’m at a point in my life where I’m putting the entire world on my shoulders. Everything has to be exactly how I want it. The right job, the right friends, the right boyfriend, the right clothes, the right food, etc. If it’s not precisely what I want, I don’t have time to deal with it. This is why I’m stressed, depressed but well dressed. I am stressed because I have expectations. I have expectations because I want to be successful. I want to be successful because I want to be able to achieve greatness, travel and dominate the world…..essentially.
I have yet to achieve what I expected myself to achieve at 23 and because of that, I am getting upset over the small stuff. For example, this morning I woke up, went downstairs, poured myself some cereal and found out there was no more milk in the milk bag. My immediate thought: “WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE ME?!” I then put a new milk bag in the carton, cut a slit and poured it in my cereal. The slit I cut was too big and the milk bounced back and splashed all over the counter. I bawled for an hour. I literally cried over spilled milk.
That is where I’m at in my life.
I don’t like sounding bitter, upset or hostile, but I am only human. I can only write about bunnies and rainbows for so long before I want to throw up. I know good things will happen in the near future and I am optimistic, but sometimes I need to remind myself to slow down and enjoy life as it happens because it’s happening, everyday, whether I like it or not. I can either embrace the day and enjoy every moment, or I can continue to be stressed and uptight.
I’ll sleep on that decision and get back to you. Until then, here is my unsatisfied, grumpy face.
Also, topic related to nothing, I heard a hilarious joke today.
What does Bruce Lee like to drink?
WATAAAAAAAAAR!
Ha.
BYE!
Even if I smoke in the back room
Even if I go right to meet you
Even when I sleep all day
Even when I sleep all day
Even if I wasn’t like I’m times two
Waiting for the day just to end so I see you
Even when I dream all day
Even when I dream all day
Yesterday my aunt accidentally dropped my brother and cousins birthday cake onto the floor. So, we did what any logical family would do. Refer to the “Cheesecake” episode of Friends and forward video to 1:52.
From the leftovers, my cousin picked it up and slapped it on my brother’s face. Happy birthday dear ol’ Justin! This is why my family and I can’t have nice things.
