In fact, I'm hoping to start doing a lot more IGTV and featuring everything from what I eat in a day to my beauty & make-up routine, style tips, and of course, feature new collections from my Stella & Dot shop as they come up. So if you're a video fan?? Be sure to follow my NEW Instagram account so you don't miss out. I just filmed my night time beauty routine, and then, I'll be sharing all about my Birthday gift. Spoiler alert, my DREAM RING!! You won't want to miss out. Trust me!! ;)
PS - let me know what's new with you in the comments section, or if you have any video requests. I'd love to put that together for you!! xo
It's been a minute since I've popped in, but it feels great to be checking in & saying hi. Our weather has been getting SO warm, and summer feels so close I can taste it. We've been spending weekends out on our deck. Or, we've been heading out for a day of picnicking & exploring. It's been great! I also started a new Instagram account and plan on retiring my other one for now. If you feel so inclined? I'd love to have you follow - I'm still sharing my outfits, everyday life, and a little more on my new biz & online shop. The main reason I've been quiet on here! 
Our neighbourhood is lush and in bloom. I love this time of year! Early morning & after dinner walks are my favourite, and I feel like it does so much for my mental health, and overall well being.
Is it just me, or does food taste infinitely better outside? We celebrated Martin's birthday this past weekend with yummy vegan pizza, and a simple but very delicious salad. It was our fave meal of the season, and the perfect way to celebrate Martin's b-day! 
And for good measure, a photo of our home from earlier this month. While I feature our home on my Insta stories often, I'm realizing I rarely do so here. I'm also realizing, that wow, I did not take many personal photos in May - absolutely need to change that. With that said, I'll see you in June with a "June Diary" post & more photos. Yay, can't wait! xo
We're still spending most of our days at home with this little nugget. Unlike the US, the vaccine rollout is much slower in Canada, and we're delaying seconded doses by 16 weeks. Martin received his first dose in May, and I'm getting mine in June. Second doses will be later this summer, and then fully re-opening first week of September. Oh my gosh, not sure what I'll do first. Hug my parents, visit a coffee shop, see a friend?? Ahh, I can't wait. What about you?!
Other than that, this month, I've been slowing down my blog & Insta life so I can focus on growing my jewelry & clean skincare biz. Yay! I started with Stella & Dot last year, and while it's been a challenging year thanks to my health (oh, mono!), my business has continued to be such a bright light, and the reason I jump out of bed every morning. With that said, I recently started an Insta page for my biz and I'd LOVE your support & follow over there. And if you're looking for gorgeous & affordable accessories to help spruce up your wardrobe? Or, clean & clinical skincare? Then you'll love my S&D shop! Ok friends, be back soon with more #reallife outfits, because Covid life, and dog mom life. Have a great week!! xo

This month & the last, I bought several adorable ModCloth items and I'm ready to rock them in all their un-layered glory. Come on' weather - am I right?! And if you'd like to peek at what I'm buying... head over to my shop page! I've been really good about updating as I buy new things. Go, me. Haha! Other than that, I'm excited for a Skype date with my bestie, Coco & Vera, tomorrow, and then it's the weekend, baby! Any fun plans? What's everyone up to?! xo

Now, and forevermore... I'm reminded of the light & love that surrounds our marriage and the beautiful growth we've had over the past twenty years. We've come so far! Thanks so much for joining me, and following along with our wedding vow renewal. Excited to be back next week with an outfit post + the prettiest snowy photos. See you then and have a great rest of the week! xo
We started our vow renewal on Saturday and planned a nice chill day at home. It was perfect! The sun was pouring in, we lit candles and played soft piano music in the background. We both wrote & read our vows, we cried, we laughed, and Martin surprised me with a ring to commemorate the day. It absolutely took my breath away and I can't wait to share more on the ring he chose in next week's blog post. Yay! I then set up an indoor picnic for us, we munched, talked & talked, snuggled, and it was wonderful!
The next day, we headed down to the ocean for our finale and lucked out with warm weather, and managed to find a quiet & private nook for ourselves. Martin shared two of his favourite bible versus on marriage, and we decided to write down what we're letting go of in our lives & relationship. Just as we were about to let our tiny pieces of torn paper fall into the ocean... a gentle wind gust came and swept it off our palms. We watched as our papers fluttered in the wind, before falling into the ocean and get carried away. It was so magical, symbolic, and felt like a new chapter. Unencumbered by the past, and full of hope for the future! Thanks for letting me share my day with you friends - means so much!! xo
