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 …
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 …
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.
I notice a lot of people when they describe a curvier women they say, “she has a real woman’s figure.” She has a REAL woman’s figure? Does that mean females who aren’t as curvy are not “real women?” I know a few of my guy friends prefer a curvier body on a lady, which is fine, it’s all about preference. However, I can’t STAND when they describe it as, “a real woman’s body.” So, just because I don’t wear DD’s I’m suddenly not a “real” woman? When people say something that demeans other females and puts them into a category, it’s a judgement on their ignorance and respect towards others. If you are going to judge, judge a woman on how she carries herself, her independence, work ethic and who she chooses to be friends with. Body type has nothing to do with who “real” women are.
I’ve been noticing my “What I Want For Christmas” post from last year is getting a lot of hits. Makes sense. It’s the festive holiday season and civilians on the interweb are on the hunt for gift ideas. So, I thought to myself – “what do I want for Christmas this year…” I typically write a list of materialistic items, print it out and leave it on the fridge for various family members to see. While I’d appreciate a nice knitted sweater or two, to be honest, I don’t want anything. Seriously. I don’t NEED anything. Plus, what I truly want this year is not something someone can wrap in a big red bow. Lately, I’ve been making a serious effort to re-start myself. This means working on my confidence, health, learning new skills, letting a variety of new friends into my life and most importantly, pin-pointing exactly where I want my career to go. It’s certainly a process, but an important one nonetheless. The year 2014 is a fresh canvas and I’ve been preparing myself to be …
One Direction float = THE BEST FLOAT EVERRRRR (if you’re a 1D fan like myself, you’ll understand what I just did there).
From the Moy children. Can we also acknowledge the most stylish six year old you’ve ever seen. Plaid skirt, varsity jacket, bright nylons – clearly setting trends beyond my years.
EXCITING NEWS! Starting Monday, be sure to catch my mini segments on CityTV during Toronto Fashion Week. I’ll be showcasing the week through my eyes and will be thrilled if you tuned in (and let’s be honest, you all enjoy my charming sense of humour and dashing smile so how can you even resist). Can’t wait! 🙂
MY BIRTHDAY (which was on Oct. 13) WAS AMAZING! Here are 5 goals I WILL achieve while I am 23! (I say “WILL” with confidence because when I have my mind set on something, I’ll stop at nothing until I achieve it.) 1. I WILL move to New York City. Williamsburg Brooklyn preferably. 2. I WILL get my first full-time PAID job. 3. I WILL eat healthier. 4. I WILL admit and apologize when I’m wrong. 5. I WILL (not only) shake-hands with new people I meet, but genuinely try to get to know them. I want to ask as many people who influence me to give me a list of their favourite books, songs and movies so I can introduce myself to new ways of thinking and get to know the people I love a little more. If you’re interested, here is my list. – Favourite book: “Fifth Step” by Richard Van Camp (which is actually a short story in his book “Angel Wing Splash Pattern”). – Favourite song: “Say” by John Mayer – Favourite movie: …
