Guys, it is safe to say that I am obsessed with my new camera. I’m still waiting to get a tripod but regardless, I can’t get enough of my new Nikon.
Moving on to other things… the other day was my day off from work and so I thought I’d share my oh so casual outfit that I ran around town in doing some not so glamorous errands. Think bank, drugstore etc. etc.
Spring is coming to an end but that means summer is just around the corner! If you’re like me, you love to curl up with a good book (or three!) over the summer months. Whether it’s a biography or a sci-fi thriller, it’s those books that you can throw in the beach bag and escape with. Here are a few of my ‘must reads’ for this summer season.

Feels like forever since I’ve done a ‘Word Wednesday’ post but I’m here now doing one so better late than never, right? Today’s post is a product review and rant (let’s be honest) about my latest bath and body purchase. Lush Cosmetic’s Buffy Body Butter Bar. I can’t stop raving about it so thought I’d share it with all my readers!
If you’re a little unfamiliar with Lush Cosmetics, here’s my short and sweet rundown of the company. The company practices ethical buying and finds out all they need to know before buying any ingredients used in their products. They are also super environmental-conscious and fight hard against animal testing. All these attributes and more, I hold as being really important. Isn’t it good to know what you’re putting on your body is safe and helping the environment rather than the opposite?
The Buffy Body Butter by Lush is really more or less a body scrub that makes your skin a whole lot softer and smoother. I decided to give this body butter a try after meeting the Director of Brand Communications of Lush Cosmetics, Brandi Halls. She said it was one of her all time favorite products to use so after hearing that, I had to test it out for myself.
I really recommend this product if your skin is in need of a little rejuvenation. Especially for the summertime when we want our skin on it’s best behavior, the body butter acts as a great exfoliant and leaves my skin silky smooth. You can purchase the body butter in two sizes and for a few extra bucks, it comes in this cute little Lush tin as seen above.
Probably one of my favorite things about the bar is that you can use it with any shower gel or soap of your liking. There is a slight fragrance to the bar but not overpowering so if you’re sensitive to that sort of thing (like I am), you don’t have anything to worry about when it comes to this Lush product.
If you want to try the Buffy Body Butter out, you can purchase Buffy online.

Friday! Friday! What a week it’s been. School is out and the weather in Vancouver is getting to be less about rain and more about sunshine (slowly but surely).
The other day I had no plans or commitments whatsoever so I decided to enjoy some ‘me’ time at Stanley Park. Day was pure bliss in my eyes. Had the sun shining, music playing, my sketchbook out, my new baby (aka my camera) and some new good reads so really, what more could I ask for?
Rompers are tricky I find. They really do have to be the perfect fit otherwise they can make you (or at least me) look stocky and boxy. Also, how much do you love a pretty kimono? Definitely the ‘it’ thing to have in your closet this summer.
Hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

Hey everyone! Took a week off from writing as I was vacationing in sunny Mexico which was filled with a lot of sun, sand and sangria! It feels good to be home even if that means sitting in my room looking out the window at the pouring rain. That’s Vancouver for ya!
I wouldn’t say I live by quotes but I definitely see a lot of truth in some statements and rather cliche (at times) sayings. Below are some quote typography’s that really move me and that I hold to be valuable for me, personally this coming week!
Happy Monday! Hope you start your week off on the right foot! I know I am!
Hugs,
Kels
