Yesterday I took my daily call to mama S☀S to the park. There’s something about being surrounded by trees — it makes for more comfortable silences and deeper conversations. Sure enough, our cas...
Good morning my dears! Last night I put myself to bed at midnight, which is probably why I bounced back up at 6:30 this morning. I’m not complaining: I don’t have class today, so my early...

‘Evening bloggies! I have something exciting to share with you today that’s a little bit unlike other S☀S posts. Lately, I’ve been trying to green up my apartment. I started with or...

It’s Monday. I have about sixty assignments due this week, it’s -15 degrees outside, and I’m fighting off the flu. But this video made me smile, and I hope it does the same for you ...
I’m a sushi fiend. I could eat it every single day of the week. But I’m also a student, and my wallet wouldn’t be able to support my handroll habit. I finally decided to try and mak...
In order to keep my thoughts from straying back to the beach, I’ve thrown myself into life here at home in Toronto. I’ve kept busy with school, rides, runs, dates with friends and dreams ...

Good morning my dears! I haven’t done a WIAW in a while, so I’m breaking the pattern this week for two reasons: 1) I’m in Florida, and the produce is just so much prettier than it i...
There is nothing like that first breath of Florida air. It assails you and embraces you all at once as you step off of the plane. Under the heady fumes of jet fuel, the southern air is rich with mois...
