Organizing my day-planner
I’ve caught the planner-organizer bug! More like, I needed to get my s**t together because I have a forgetful mind, and I’m getting to that age where I need to write everything down it seems, otherwise it just won’t happen. How’s that for keepin’ it real!
I bought a thin and flimsy paper planner from Target right before 2015 rolled around, and I’ve been using it ever since to keep track of everything I have on my schedule, from blog posts going live to doctor’s appointments and my workouts. All colour-coded including ‘cute’ stickers. Although it may not look as organized as some of the hardcore planners out there, it works for me. If you’re so inclined, let me walk you through my planner! Parts have been blurred out due to personal information being on them.
Ink colours:
- Black = blog posts written & scheduled
- Pink = YouTube videos scheduled
- Green = Workouts
- Blue = events & appointments
- Purple = Chores (I usually rely on my notes posted on the fridge for this instead now, which is why you rarely see any purple ink)
Since I’m a visual person, I like to have a variety of interesting things happening on my planner. The stickers are either from Organized Chaotic Fun or Charm Tape, which are both Etsy sellers.
Most days I have ideas for blog posts, youtube videos or groceries popping up in my head when I’m out and about, so this mini leather journal is a great additive to my purse, especially since it’s so small, these two are from Paper Geek My (along with the pen and adorable mini tassel!).
You can customize it too from Paper Geek My on Etsy. I have my points and gift cards in here with a notebook on the back side. The one I’m giving away has two notebooks in the leather journal, which can also be replaced once you use it all up.
One lucky winner anywhere in the world can enter my giveaway to win the mini leather journal, with a mini tassel charm in the colour of their choice (just not the red one I have on my notebook). I’ll also include 1 cardboard pen, and some tear drop paper clips.Â
Giveaway is open until 12:01am PST Tuesday July 7

California has not changed me
As you read this, I’m either on an airplane or stuck in Chicago airport for 7 hours while I wait for another leg of my flight back to California.
I thought it was only appropriate to show an outfit of the day where I hung out with my new blogger bud Megan. She was also living in California but moved back to Toronto just a few short days ago. So sad I won’t be seeing her pretty face on the regular anymore. But I remember this day back in late April, one of our last few visits with each other.
You’ll notice an iced coffee in my hands for some of the photos – which I might add was the blandest wateriest iced coffee I’ve spent my money on. I’ll be talking about that spot on the blog at another point and time. Anyhoodle. Back to the blog post, it’s supposed to be all fashiony and such. I think this was somewhere in the Mission district of San Francisco. Either way, it was hot, it was fun, and I was awkward. You’ll see after the mirror selfies in this bathroom in San Francisco which has terrific selfie lighting. Just sayin.
Outfit details will be listed at the bottom of the post. Hint, everything is under $20.
Do yo like the shirt I’m wearing? I call it my zoo-keeper shirt. I kinda feel like one, wearing it. All rustic and worn-in looking, and it has that general feel to it with the green. AM I RIGHT?
Don’t worry, California hasn’t changed me. I’m still doing the awkward dances in the street trying to shake my wiggles out and decide on how to post for the next picture. As soon as I saw this picture, IÂ laughed so much I had to ask Megan if my mascara was running. I also may have let out a snort-laugh while I was at it. You know I’m laughing hard then. I immediately sent the picture to my husband and he wrote back “are you sitting on an invisible bench?” Cracked me right up.
Then I started laughing again. Not knowing what to do with my body. I can be so awkward. :) But it’s all in good fun. We had a fantastic time laughing and carrying on trying to take some of the photos.
And to finish off the set, a few serious ones and a blooper of me putting my sunnies back on my shirt.
Outfit details:

San Francisco Style – Outfit of the day
I’ve been spending the majority of my time in San Francisco lately, to get as much girl-time in with my new friend, Megan. We met in person about a month ago, by finding each other on Instagram, not realizing we were both Canadian. So we HAD to meet up.
Unfortunately, Megan is moving back to Toronto within the next few weeks. Each time we’re together, the hours simply fly by — it’s like we’ve known each other for years! I just love the ease of friendship we have and how easy it is to just chat with her. We click SO well, and it’s too bad we didn’t meet sooner. But I’m glad we bonded, and I’ll cherish our time together. Doesn’t mean we’ll never see each other again, right?
I feel like I rarely do outfit of the day blog posts anymore, so here is what I wore last week while spending the day with her in San Francisco. :)
Outfit details:
Ardene sunglasss, Etsy necklace, Joe Fresh tee, H&M hoody
