Fall in Love With Fall


Nothing screams fall like crisp weather, pretty leaves & outwear hitting the stores before the leaves even change colours. My ideal way to spending a fall day would have to include a nice hot cup of coffee and an equally hot breakfast (my breakfast of choice is always, always oatmeal with a dash of peanut butter), cuddles & cozying up in fall clothes. However, things like school and life gets in the way of that sometimes. Don't get me wrong - it's nice heading to class and seeing how others have styled their fall pieces. Likewise, hitting the streets of Vancouver on a chilly day is amazing for people watching. The style here is outstanding!

What will YOU be wearing this fall?

Happiness


 Well, I am finally settled in my apartment. School is half way through, midterms are almost finished (retail buying on Monday & then they are all done), internship has begun, and soon a seasonal job opportunity at Holt Renfrew will begin! It has been a whirlwind of excitement for me lately, starting with my internship. I came across the opportunity from teachers at school, and soon I found myself in one of the meeting rooms on the 4th floor of Holt Renfrew's flagship store in Vancouver at the orientation. Next, I met for one on one interviews with women's wear and marketing, and the next day I got the call to become part of the marketing and events team! It has been amazing, to say the least, and the fact that I am able to network and meet others through this is going to be an incredible journey. Isn't it crazy what life throws at you sometimes?

I decided to post some pictures of what has been happening lately. From buying my first pair of Hunter boots and the view from Thursday yoga classes at school, to going back to the island & celebrating a friends birthday (and all the fun stuff in between). Last week Brandon came over to visit and move furniture over, so we went to IHOP - fun fact: it stands for International House of Pancakes. Were we late the to the party & the last to know of this?! I was amazed! I enjoyed some delicious whole wheat with walnut pancakes topped with blueberries and whipped cream. I was barely in three bites before I was full! Brandon said, "I will do anything for you if you finish those!" However, I just couldn't do it. I ate the top pancake with all the good stuff on it, then slowly picked the walnuts out of the rest. I'm sure the server appreciated the mess after I was finished - you're welcome!

I am thinking about doing a video post soon, so stay tuned for that! Hope life is beautiful for you all!

What is making you happy today?

Mama's Day



Whole wheat maple peach pancakes in the beginning stages...




Pretty flowers from my parents' 20th anniversary!


To mom, love Sarah


Veggie seeds sprouting!


The finished product. SO DELICIOUS and filling! Or maybe that's because I had seven. Yes, friends, SEVEN pancakes. At least they were healthy and small!


Petite Pink (and messy)





In addition to breakfast, I also made dinner for Mother's Day - chicken parmesan, caesar salad, roasted broccoli & garlic toast. It was SO good!


Snuggle time before Dairy Queen time. I ended the night with a chocolate fudge cookie dough blizzard with brownie pieces in the mix. Luckily I worked it off during my long run this morning!

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day. I love my mom to pieces. She has been for me through thick and thin and never ceases to amaze me. She makes me smile every single day and feel so, so loved. 
Love you mom!
