I am thankful for so much in my life, but nothing compares to how grateful & thankful I am to have someone like Jordan by my side through this journey called life In less than 7 months, I get to call him my husband & start a whole new journey with him Thanksgiving is about gathering together with family & friends and enjoying the company and blessings were given Take away, from this weekend, not the things you still have to achieve or the negative happenings going on right now, but the things you do have, and the people surrounding you, those are the things to be thankful . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #amazinglove #darlingmovement #verilymoment #photosinbetween #dslooking #pursuepretty #gowithin #loveandlight #myeverydaymagic #todaysgoodthing #soloverly #nowhereeverywhere #daysofsmallthings #lovelysquares #howyouglow #prettylittlethings #authenticlovemag #thesparklediaries #abmlovesmurals #abmlifeisbeautiful #partnerincrime #ofsimplethings #mybeautifulmess #ohwowyes #todaysgoodthing #photosinbetween #liveauthentic #theeverygirl #thehappynow #choosehappy #grateful

Has anyone ever told you to think about the “oxygen mask analogy”...? You know? if the plane is in crisis and the masks drop, you put yours on first so you can help other people... There are so many times where I’ve woken up and started my day immediately to be there for other people, or wake up and clean the entire house because “I’m supposed to”... These mornings typically start with a coffee, and while it’s brewing, a dust rag, a vacuum, some music, sneezing, etc. This cleaning frenzi usually lasts 2-4 hours but it means that the house is clean and presentable for my fiancé and visitors and by that time, I’ve forgotten I even made coffee and it’s now cold Today I woke up at 3AM...4:30AM...5AM...and finally again at 7AM and here we are now...today I am taking an exhausted “me” day and literally and figuratively “can’t even” before day 2 of Thanksgiving dinners tonight N E V E R FORGET how important it is to take time for yourself when ever you can...even if it’s only an hour, or maybe less, literally 10 minutes in a quiet room, because, like the oxygen mask analogy, no one can receive your full attention and efforts if you’re not taking time for yourself to better yourself . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #lifeofliiv #selfcaresunday #makeitblissful #discoverunder1k #mydomaine #myeverydaymagic #darlingmovement #darlingdaily #inspiredbythis #dslooking #documentyourdays #verilymoment #lovelysquares #howyouglow #gowithin #lightandlove #highvibrations #raiseyourvibe #vibin #thesparklediaries #prettylittleiiinspo #abmlifeiscolorful #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmhappylife #thehappynow #nowhereeverywhere #selfcare #makeitblissful #followyourbliss #putyoufirst

My posts are typically a positive or fun outlet for me to mirror realness in life...but nothing gets more real, than pain... In the last 4 months of therapy, I’ve learned a lot about myself and what I’ve been avoiding in my emotional mentality..starting with being able to talk about one of the worst days of my life...it’s important to let yourself feel whatever has to be felt and I’m sharing this today, the day I lost my best friend, to let you all know that it’s OK to talk about grief and sorrow and that we don’t have to always slap a smile on our feelings and hide them I remember today, like it was yesterday...I woke up in Florida for our family vacation with my boyfriends side of the family, and it was a hot one...our plan for the day was to shop and have a fun day trip exploring Orlando My phone went off and I got a message from my dad that said “hey kiddo. I need you to call home ASAP” I called my mom and she broke the news...”Nonna isn’t doing well honey, her kidneys are failing” is all I remember hearing until I dropped the phone and my mother in law had to finish the call I didn’t know what to think Wtf? I had just seen her 2 days before and she was fine, and we shared a laugh and I said “ok potato (that was my nickname for her) I’ll see you in a week” and I squished her potato nose and she slapped my hand and said “ok ok I’ll be here” and gave me a kiss Saturday night as we were shopping, Jordan’s mom received a phone call...from my mother...we were in a shoe store for Jordan to buy new Nikes and Blink-182’s “I Miss You” was playing ... it’s crazy what you’re brain remembers ... Jordan’s mom said she needed to speak to me and I just looked at her and said “my grandmas dead isn’t she?....” Jordan’s mom started to cry and handed me the phone so I could speak to my mom I won’t lie, the rest of the night (and the last 6 years) have been a blur, which might have something to do with the entire bottle of wine and half a bottle of vodka that I drank back at the condo that night ... but the pain still feels as fresh 6 years, 72 months, 313 weeks & 2191 days I’ve been without you & every day since has felt like that same day 💜

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical. Sophia Loren . . For so many years, so many of us, my self mainly, have spent time making ourselves look good on the outside in order to feel good inside...I felt the need to wear makeup. do my hair & dress over the top, to influence other people to tell me how good I looked to help boost my own self image . . It took years to understand how horribly self sabotaging that was...when I look in the mirror, now, I understand my beauty and I understand that it isn’t everyone’s type of beauty, but it is MY type of beauty . . Now, I wear makeup because I want too, and not because I feel the need too... I dress to the 8s or 9s because I love to look great for any occasion and if that means wearing heels on a Monday, then that’s what I’ll do...feeling beautiful doesn’t start with makeup, it starts with your soul . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #howyouglow #chictopia #chictopiastyle #canadiancreatives #gowithin #verilymoment #pursuepretty #ofsimplethings #myeverdaymagic #lovelysquares #blogwithme #inspiredaily #inspiredbythis #myeverydaymagic #makeupoftheday #makeuplooks #makeupaddict #makeupofinstagram #momentsofmine #mydomaine #bloggersofinstagram #prettylittleiiinspo #thesparklediaries #whowhatwear #abmlifeiscolorful #abmhappylife #risingtidesociety #raiseyourvibration #fearlesstribe

Wedding rings, dresses & honeymoons, oh my!😱the planning is in FULL swing & I’m taking each step to heart & enjoying every moment while I still can . . I’ve been told by so many people that this process will fly by & the big day will come & before I know it I’ll be asking Jordan to help me take the thousands of bobby pins out of my hair & help me get out of my spanks 🤣 . . But with excitement through this process, also comes frustration and anxiety and there are some things that my therapist and I have been working with to help keep a sane & sound mind... . . 💍 stop and take in the excitement before stressing over the perfect day ... this process will fly by and before you know it your day will too . . 💍 you cannot control EVERYTHING so stop letting everything get to you . . 💍 if people are offering suggestions & help, don’t be so quick to say no, but also be firm on what you know you like, no one understands this vision more than you and your partner . . 💍 this day isn’t about the decor, it isn’t about the photos...it’s about getting to marry your best friend and live this life with them, for like ever...focusing on that makes this process easier💜 . . 220 days💍🤯 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #05152020 #engaged #bridetobe #groomtobe #misstomrs #myeverydaymagic #authenticlovemag #verilymoments #documentyourdays #abmhappylife #abmlifeiscolorful #followyourbliss #makeitblissful #huffpostgram #theeverygirl #liveauthentic #thehappynow #pursuewhatislovely #pursuepretty #discoverunder1k #bandofun #nowhereeverywhere #amazinglove #thesparklediaries #lovelysquares #pursuepretty #petitejoys #theartofslowliving #livemoremagic #nowhereeverywhere #pursuitofjoyproject

~OCTOBER 1ST~ The start of my most favourite month and season A season full of crisp mornings and drafty nights where my best journaling and thinking comes to life Let’s take today as a time to start fresh, because nothing, to me, says “fresh” like October🍂 . . Think about.... 🍂 writing down your seasonal goals, and they can be as simple as cleaning out that closet that has consumed everything and anything or as huge as taking a new course or starting a new path 🍂 journaling your daily thoughts and how your day went and wondering if there are ways to navigate daily stress and emotions 🍂 sitting down with a cup of something warm (or red🍷) and closing your eyes and listening to the sound of your OWN thoughts...what are they telling you? . . Enjoy the season as it brings us to a new year, and before we know it, 2020 will be creeping up faster than we can say “pumpkin spice & everything nice” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #feelfreefeed #iamwellandgood #sweetdreamsdlf #dslooking #raiseyourvibration #vibin #autumn #nowhereeverywhere #myeverydaymagic #risingtidesociety #thesparklediaries #prettylittleiiinspo #inspiredaily #howyouglow #lovelysquares #abmlifeiscolorful #abmhappylife #thehappynow #choosehappy #thepursuitofjoyproject #pursuepretty #followyourbliss #makeitblissful #canadianblogger #blogwithme #bloggersofinstagram #blogginggals #canadiancreatives #chictopia
