A vivid memory

Day 31
[A vivid memory]



Before I start.. WOW, WOW, WOW!! I can't believe it, it's the last day and I made it all the way through May with every challenge completed each day. And no I didn't pre-blog post anything. I literally would come on here everyday and posted my thoughts. I think it's better that way instead of having had it pre-blogged because sometimes things happen and they happen to work out for one of the challenges. Yaay, for all of you that made it to the end as well, give yourself a round of a applause, seriously! It feels really rewarding in the sense of having readers being able to get something everyday to read from me, because I know I have sucked at blogging for the past months! I think it ignited a good start for June and the rest of summer! Anyways.. for this very last day a vivid memory. 

I would have to say for this most of my vivid memories are of the type whose parents weren't together and everything was separate. It was cool I guess to those that are in the situation of having your parents not together because you have two of everything. However, it wasn't that great to be honest, because my parents always argued and such, so growing up that sucked for me. With these vivid memories the other thing that stands out is constantly being at the doctors all the time and surgery a lot as a kid. Those years when I was young was not fun at all I could definitely said I felt depressed and unhappy really to be truthfully, wholesomely honest. This probably isn't a vivid memory that most want to read about, but it's my memories that I remember.  Do not get me wrong my family seeing them was amazing at all the different holidays, occasions  and for camping out in the summer time, with bike rides. It was like my get-away from immediate home life things I remember. It would feel good, yet leaving kind of sucked. I kind of wanted to stay at times but more so I think the thing that stuck out for myself was the fact that I envied my cousins and how they had parents that were together and did things together etc. Obviously has I got older I've realized things and some things you think or wish when you are younger isn't what it seems on the other side. "the grass isn't always greener on the other side." Yeah the things that I remember a lot of may seemed not so great with the in-between release of happy moments here and there.. it was what God wanted me to go through. He wanted me to go through whatever I have to learn, realize and to help me become the person I am today and that I can be okay with because I know that it doesn't make me seem naive about certain things that may come my way. Also I feel it gives me a good eye-opener when helping people and situations they are in, but more so having the will to understand as well as help in anyway I can. These are my vivid memories that may seem not so prevalent in details but this is them and perhaps it's a sad way to end this last challenge, but I am not sad at all. I hope you aren't as you read this. I find this is something that is hopeful and let's me know that there is better out in the earth and I have a lot more to achieve, as well as be in this lifetime. This is my time now that I am an adult that can do the things I want to change my life to be positive and better. My past is my past, my future is wide open but my present time right now is what determines the outcome of my future and I want to enjoy the moments now. I want to enjoy these moments because I have always lived in either the past and or future, there was never a present until the past 2 years or so and so my memories now are happy, present in time, and yeah there aren't good days.. understandable. However, for the most part life's vivid memories in these past two years has been happy. =)

Have a lovely weekend!! 

I will try to figure out the month of June, to continue some posts for you guys!!

Letting Go

Day 30
[React to this term: Letting Go]

For me this term in past meant letting go of past hatred, fears, anger, negativity but those things I have worked through for the most part. Speaking as of now, letting go means to me to let go of things that happen in the moment that upset me or make me feel down. In life, things happen.. life throws you curve balls. I cannot control the outcome when things decide to come about unwillingly. I can only do something by the reaction of how I let it affect me ultimately at the time. Letting Go.. is being positive and looking at things as only temporary because things can have the subject of changing. So for me letting go is not letting things affect or impact me so immensely in the moment that aren't that BIG of IMPORTANCE or don't affect me personally but has to do with something else or someone else. What I may see now is only temporary but what is waiting for me from God is something so much bigger than I can see. 

I know it's quick, short and sweet, but that's pretty much all I have to say for today's post.

music music.. soundtrack

Day 29
[Five songs or pieces of music that speak to you or bring back memories.]

#1. I really love this song, especially when I may feel a bit down or for something calming. It gives me hope and belief that things will work out how they are suppose to and that I am not alone in this journey. Everything that doesn't make sense to me or I don't understand that I try to it's not for my understanding God does wondrous miracles in life everyday and I just need to believe and know that his love will encompass anything. 
Have Your Way by Britt Nicole on Grooveshark

#2. I enjoy this song off of her new album and there is also a couple of other songs as well that I enjoy but for this it just reminds me of a guardian angel watching over me. 
Nightingale by demi lovato  on Grooveshark

#3. I love this song off of their new album, because it reminds me of dreams and all accomplishments and things in life that you want to achieve.
Counting Stars  by One Republic on Grooveshark

#4. I like another song of theirs also but I have been listening to this a lot ever since I heard it and I believe I came across it on itunes when it first came out. This song has so much emotion but it gets me into a zone by listening to it and this is the song I listen to while reading the book I Declare. I feel it gets me in the positive mood and off to a good start in the morning combined with reading the book.
Heartbeats by Hillsong United on Grooveshark

#5. This beautiful, beautiful song is amazing and also another new song off their album. It is divine and amazing. It just gives so much beauty, hope, love and makes you know that everything you've tried or set out to do, you actually do and don't have any regrets. It's just a happy song for me drenched with big dreams within in and full of sweet sweet beautiful love that inspires you and everything you have done in your life. 
I lived by I lived on Grooveshark


A some bonus extras ..  

#&!. This is a fun upbeat jam I like currently
Fall Down (feat. Miley Cyrus) by will.i.am on Grooveshark

#&! I like this fun, upbeat song if you want to get in a upbeat mood! 
Play it Again by Becky G on Grooveshark

#&! I had to come back on here add in this song because it is amazing and I only heard it today but I love it. Oh and I found out about it because of Shannon of arrowstheblog who was previously milkandcookies. I owe finding out about this song to her so go check out her blog. =)

this one's for YOU, the READERS!

Day 27
[ a letter to your readers]

Dear readers,

... and browsers, followers, and new viewers to my blog. Thank you for checking out my blog and leaving me comments; I really appreciate them and the time you take out of your day to actually leave a little something on my posts. Thank you to those that I comment on their blog or email who take the time to respond back. Overall in general a HUGE complete THANK YOU for stopping by whether you've only just found me, heard about me from someone else's blog I left a comment on, simply randomly came across me by fluke. For those of you who have been here from the beginning THANK YOU, truly. I know there is a lot that I can improve on with this blog along with the obvious of regular posting. I hope you can all bare with me and be patient as I try to figure out what it is that I am going to decide for this blog to become or focus on. I know I have had this blog now since 2010 and I probably should already have it figured out, but I don't. I think I don't because when you first are starting out you focus so much on what everybody else is doing or has featured or try to join in on their link-ups that MY BLOG ends up not becoming my blog. What I mean by that is.. it because content or ideas of other people and yes I can be inspired by it but I think more so once you let go and don't become so obsessed you find certain elements. I have found some things that I want to work on for my blog and make apart of this for you guys. I want you guys to have something excited to read and enjoy. I know it is taking me extra longer than most people, but sometimes things work out the way they're suppose to work out at the right time, the right moment and slowly but surely I believe it will come together. I truly am grateful for your reading eyes that read a whole lot of what I have to say and if it's not perhaps just skim to view photos, which I feel isn't very many on here really. Ultimately for me, is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for being here, having patience with me. I know I am not perfect and this blog is not perfect yet, but probably seems like a WHOLE lot of MESS but it is my mess that will come together in due time. Oh and lastly THANK YOU for the people in my life that come on here to read my blog, support me, encourage me, and think the great things that you do of me. I am so HAPPY, LUCKY and FEEL LOVED from ALL the AMAZING SUPPORT you have given me and CONTINUE to give to me about my blog. I really appreciate the time you take to actually read it and help me out when I need some advice on this blogging thing even though you guys don't have a blog yourself, you're helpful to me. THANK YOU, for being amazed by the things on here.


But for EVERYONE, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 
FROM, the BOTTOM of my HEART. 
I LOVE YOU, YOUR SUPPORT, YOUR READERSHIP, YOUR COMMENTS/EMAILS, and YOUR PATIENCE waiting for GREATNESS to come about. THANK YOU, TRULY, SINCERELY and COMPLETELY. I hope I have INSPIRED a few of you, because that is ALL I want to ACHIEVE from my blog is the ability to INSPIRE.

Zach Sobiech

Day 26
[ Something you read online. Leave a link and discuss, if you'd like.]

#1. Zach leaves behind inspiring legacy
#2. Zach Sobiech dies at 18

I had seen this video before he had died or the day of I don't remember the exact date but I since it and it was touching. Mostly it was inspiring, because he was so so so so positive and looked for the good in everything and everybody. The legacy that he left behind was amazing, so kind hearted, loving and always smiling along with happy. And just because he had a disease it didn't stop him from living his life and enjoying every moment that it had in for him. "Just try to make people happy" 

For those who haven't seen the video or heard the story here is the video that I linked below..

words are just words.. right?

Day 25
[ Something someone told you about yourself that you'll never forget (good or bad)]

Oldie
This one was an automatic for me.. and it isn't something good, however I am making up for the bad with a good right underneath! 

So I was told and it was not that long ago pretty recent years my twenties that "If I were to walk into a room I would never capture a guys attention." Yeah that burned and still does, it still sits kind of in my head. I know I shouldn't let it be, but it's still there. It's not so predominant in my mind but it is there and that is probably the first thing I would say compared to other things I've heard of myself if someone asked me. I am definitely not one of those girls that goes out of their way to get attention. I don't even like when attention is on me you know? My aim has never been to walk into a room/classroom in school to make everybody turn around (turn there head) and just stare at me, all mesmerized. That is not my priority ever, my education has always been more important than trying to win over getting some guy's attention. If a guy likes me and whatnot, okay fine but I am not going to go out of my way to try and make a point. (I am not going to make that my focus when I am getting an education or doing my thing. If someone does come I am also not going to ignore it either because that could be my person, my soul-mate, love of my life, my future husband, my future father of my kids. Usually things like that happen when you aren't searching for someone but living your life.)  I think it bugs more though also is because the comment I heard that people thought of another girl "Oh she's not the girl who gets married." The girl wants to be married, be a wife and have kids. And it goes hand-in-hand with me for the comment I received and yes, that girl was crying. She did want to be married. For me, I want to me married as well. I want to find someone that loves me for me and be happy. However, comments like the one I got don't help any, because it can make one feel ugly or have low self-esteem when it comes to guys or having a relationship with a guy. Any ways.. I am going to change directions and hope that explained that quickly, but if not and want to know more or want to share your story with me comment below or send me a quick email! 

Now for the good stuff, which I want to talk about more.. and I know you guys would like to hear more of something good + positive I am sure is this... !! =)

- You are intelligent
- You are beautiful 
- You are valuable 
- You are smart

Having these said to me was weird at first I am not even going to lie, but they were also at the same time SO POWERFUL. Because when you never hear things like this and someone says it for the first time, it's a shock and weird. But it definitely changed my life and how I felt or thought about myself. I will always remember these words told to me. How I felt and how I feel about myself now compared to back then. life changing

so that's that, see you tomorrow for day 26!

3 not so fondest of traits

Day 24
[ Your top 3 worst traits]

WHoa, wow I am going to get right into this.. 




#1. Tempermental: I definitely can have swinging moods. I could be fine and fine and fine and then something happens or whatever. I can just snap not meaning to at people but I do because I am annoyed or irritated mostly and don't want to be around anyone. You could ask me the simplest question about something and because I'm frustrated and or annoyed I don't care about the question that is related to why I may be in that mood. I can have days and days of being super hyper and fun. I rather be by myself then with surrounded with other people for long periods of time. It makes me more annoyed, agitated or overwhelmed that I just need to have my own space by myself no one near me time. 

#2. Impatient: I definitely can be impatient and sometimes just can't be bothered with things going so slow or I'll get irritated. For the most part I am pretty able to make compromise and not be like that, but there are those days I am just like ugh! 

#3. Stubborn: I get told that by my mom, and I've heard it from others. I can be stuck in my ways even if others said their opinion. I have never been one to do what everybody else does, so I do what I feel for myself. Okay I will admit there are times my way ends up not correct that I chose, however that's life. Life is about experiences and learning. I can be stubborn but have been working on listening to what others say and taking it into consideration because sometimes things don't work out my thought out / planned way. I've taken this into consideration for the past year. 

This is pretty much it for today's post! Have a great weekend!

THINGS I'VE LEARNED IN LIFE

Day 23
[ Things you've learned that school won't teach you]

First off so close to the end! I cannot believe it, so amazing! 31 one days of straight blogging, awesome, awesome! I am definitely however going to have to makeup for all these writing posts for photos posts next I feel.. ;) Let's get into today's post..


Life I learnt will knock you off your base plate to make you realize what you have and to be grateful for what it is that you have. It does this to show you that before you get to home base there's more to life and you have to work really hard at the things you want in life. And it is your duty to be thankful for everything, even the simplest of little things. Also life will throw random curve balls to shake you up to see if what you want is truly what you want and are you truly willing to fight as hard as you can to achieve it. 

Being greener on your own turf is the first thing to look at because what you may think is greener on the other side could completely take you off guard and isn't. I definitely heard people talk about it and never truly got it until I endured it by hearing another persons thoughts. It's surprising what you may think can turn out completely and honestly different from someones thoughts, live, stories etc. Fixing what is on my side is the first step to making my life grow to bountiful things. Comparing my life to that of someone else doesn't help also.. my journey is my journey and no one else.

This life of mine has also taught me that it isn't what others want at the end of the day. It is my life and what I want truly, because at the end of the day I am the one who has to live with the results, nobody else. When figuring out this life and what I want to achieve it's not about taking the safe road because everybody else around me is scared or doesn't think it is a good path etc. I am the one who needs to make myself fulfilled and happy, so that I can say I least tried even if I failed or doesn't work in my favor. At least I tried and there will be no what if or regret. Basically, do what is best for the heart at the time and not other peoples opinions as the ultimate result. Everybody has a purpose in this life. 

My life has taught me to DREAM BIG always, no matter what others say, believe or think about them. If it is something I truly want and I am willing to put in the effort to achieve it then anything can be accomplished with determination. Having ambitions, daily goals and or weekly goals helps you get there. Having those dreams written down hold me accountable for the things I say. And not only does it hold myself accountable but as well actions talk louder than words, so putting everything into play is what gets you the things you want out of life. Life is full of opportunities  it's all about how one chooses to go about it. One can dream and dream but do nothing to attain it or one can do something to make it come to life. Some times dreams are so big as well as scary that if you don't risk it all how will you gain anything? This life isn't about regrets. This life has failures and that's okay, they don't make you less of anything they make you fight harder to wanting to make a point in I'll do anything to be better than the next; even if that means staying later, go that extra mile when I could stop. It's about pushing harder, working harder, giving triple than 100%, it's about crafting my game to be better than the person who is lacking. You got to be one step ahead, and running not chasing things. 

In this life time I have wanted a LOT of things and I have achieved the goals I have set out and wanted in the past up until now. It didn't matter if it was something small or big it counts if you really want it and it means something to you. However, with that comes believing and being positive. Being positive attracts positive. Being negative attracts negative. The certain things that I have attracted into my life is because my attitude and outlook on it. Being positive is what attracts the very ultimate amazing experiences, desires etc. And no one can teach you that but you. Anyone can believe in you and what you want from life, however if you don't believe in you then there's a problem, and so to gain the things one desires believing is a must, a must of yourself. 

These are my things I've learned and I know there is much more to learn in this life of mine, because I haven't learnt everything. I hope you enjoyed!

a rant.. in response thread comments

Day 22
[Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel. (a pet peeve, a current event, a controversial topic, something your husband or roommate or neighbor or boss does that really ticks you off ]


Example taken from Google Thread

Jenni already talked about comments getting a reply and how to do all that jazz, which I had already set up correctly from before. However, the one thing that really annoys me is the fact that I never know if I get a reply from someone when I comment on their blog and it's reply in comments section. I don't get sent an email telling me they responded and honestly I am most likely not going to go back hunting to look for my comment when a WHOLE lot of people left comments. There are those times when you randomly click onto a blog you've never been to and leave a comment which they may have happened to reply to comment in comment section but how are you going to remember who to check back at after you closed your browser? Okay, your history... but if you looked at a LOT of different blogs, sorry but who has time to find where you last commented and what post. It's such an inconvenience and for me it's such an annoying thing because what if they wrote back something good or what if they asked you to email me them in them comments. How am I ever going to know that?! Yes, I could write down all the blogs I visit and the posts I read in which I left a comment but that's a kill joy and also time consuming, not to sound like a bleep. There are comments I have left and I will never know if I got a response or not because it's reply in comments section. I could also click follow by email but why would I want to do that because I am going to get an email every time someone else leaves a comment on this person's post... annoying! Who wants a cluttered inbox that doesn't acknowledge what you had written only. 

This is my little rant, nothing to great or big or anything but I had to mention it, because I have been thinking about it a lot through blogging but even more so lately and it completely sucks the outcome. It sucks because you could have quite possibly gained a blogger friend or something.. who knows?! The other thing that is kinda of a disappointment is that the blogger can reply to your comment quickly but doesn't review your blog and what a shame! Okay, I understand you can have TONS of comments, but if you're going to reply why not check out the blog? If you checked out the blog then mostly like could click on comment-ers email link and email them that you replied. I actually had that happened only ONCE, once, but goes to show not every single person is willing to do that for whatever reason.
Any who..

I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! :)

a fierce struggle

Day 20
[Get real. Share something you're struggling with right now.]

The thing I am struggling with currently is being stressed out, well feeling suffocated and trapped. This is how I feel when it comes to the subject of school and work lately, okay not even lately for a long while now. You know when you've had so much on your plate that you can't take anymore and you want to break down but don't want to in front of people or to talk about it to people? You have this silent moment alone by yourself late wee early hours of the morning and you just break down crying because you don't know what else to do? Yeah that's how I felt lately recently. It's hard, because yes I talk to my best friends about it or certain things but it goes much deeper. It becomes exhausting along overwhelming and just wanting to break down even more. 

When it comes to the whole thing about school it's all about everybody else and what they think is best. And okay, I get what you want or think but this is all I want to do. I just want to go to school.. I don't see what the issue is. I don't have a boyfriend, I don't go out and party, I don't stay out late or go to the bars (totally not my scene). I can count the times I've gone on my one hand and stuff like that isn't fun for me. I feel out of place and simply put it's not me. I understand I need to move away and what I have to do, but not everybody has every little detail about life figured out. The important details and things yes but the other things that don't matter as much and are things that can get figured out when I am there I am okay with that. Life isn't perfection and I am not trying to make it perfection, because when I have in the past it never works out anyways. Why would it have worked out? I always felt the need to be in control of everything and life doesn't work like that. You can try but life can throw you a curve ball whenever you feel like it even if you tried to prevent a certain situation. I am not trying to do anything but to accomplish my dream. A dream I have had since I was 9 or 10 years old, that's it.. nothing else. I get it, it's not something most people agree with because isn't a  "normal" career path. I tried to do the other path from being pressured and it didn't work out in my favor anyways, so why should I run that course again. I rather go down this path and achieve something I truly, ultimately want and be happy, passionately happy. It sounds so simple me typing it as you read this but I know it's not. I know it's a lot of hard work but if you really want something as bad as you want to succeed then you will succeed. I rather do this and have the chance of failing then never trying to be left with what if? what if? what if? I don't want any regrets.. I don't want any wonders. Yes, I know what I want now and I do not know what is or will happen in the future but I do know there is a far better plan for me than what I have planned for myself. Whatever those plans are that God has I know they will be amazing. It will be trying at times to test if it's truly what I want and if I would give up so easily when it gets tough or stick it through to make a point to achieve whatever it is I want without making up an excuse. I am twenty-five years old, which to me seems old to pursue this yet everybody says its not, however it should matter the age that you are. As long as you're doing what it is you want and love it shouldn't matter about the age. And not everybody's life is the same journey and so I can't compare my life to that of someone else and everything happens when it's suppose to happen at the right time when it's meant for you. I believe it's true because when it's something you want and it's happening it will just flow smoothly and you will see things fit together seamingly unlike before say if you were trying but struggled. It was problem after problem trying to do what it is now that is going fine. I believe if it's working smoothingly for you it's because God feels you are ready to take on this journey. Yes, it's scary of course but a lot of things are scary if you don't even try.. usually the things that scare you turn out to be wonderful marvelous things. All my best friends, close friends want me to attend school and are happy for me. However, if I decided not to go they would be pretty disappointed in me and I know my aunties think I should do it because if I don't now I will never do it. I agree I feel like I have talked about it so long, so so so long that if I push it back anymore I will never do and feel stuck. Who wants to feel stuck? Not me! I want to be HAPPY! I am nervous for this journey a little bit yes, but I am also excited but happy because those who believe in what I want to go to school for know that I will do it and succeed because it is something I am passionate about. Everyone that knows I am going to school has told me they see me doing that, it's just me.. that's just who I am. This is something they know I will work really hard for and not mess up because I really want this.

The hard part is hearing the negative stuff, then breaking down and crying or trying to hold it together to not cry. I don't cry or get mad easily without a reason to be and when I am you know because I am always so laid back to people. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe it's not but some things that people do  seem negative to me and I don't want to worry about certain things that I don't have to. Why should I worry about other people and what they want to do and be negative about it? I see it as it's not my life, they can do whatever I don't need to dwell or talk about it. Maybe that's why I seem laid back to people.. but point is, the last time I cried was when my grandpa was in the hospital and I had to say goodbye. If I have cried anything before that situation it was over school and after that was over school. The people who see me like this know it's a BIG deal for me, this is something I really really want. It's not something.. I think I want, half-heartily want or hey I'll just do this to waste time or and money. It's not, it's something I have wanted to do forever and it's my calling from God for me to pursue. It's my calling because it's all I talked about for years, and years and years since I was a children and I am an adult now and it's still a BIG deal/passion I want to have in my life. I like how some people I have talk to are like you are better than that in the sense of what option I want to do for school and this no sense of doing something shorter when I am capable of better. I agree, this what I want and yes it's probably a high standard or high goal to aim for but I know it WILL, it will be WORTH IT! I just want to be happy and not sad because honestly I always care about other people and their happiness and not my own. This is one thing I just care more about myself for once because I want to feel and be happy. I don't want to be sad honestly and I know this time around it's others that want me to go who are caring about my happiness instead of there own. I am so so so so so grateful and thankful for the support, love and wanting to see me happy as well as want me to be happy. 

This is what I am struggling with that is most important to my heart, and I think I have wrote a lot on it. As for the other topic it's been a struggle also but I feel this is the direction my heart headed so I am going to leave it at this. 

Thank you for reading my blog lately and following my writing entries for each one of these post challenges. I truly appreciate it and those who leave comments, thank you for your encouraging words. I do read all my comments, I just take a while to respond back bare with me because I always reply even if it's not right away. I will be getting back to responses on comments tomorrow. Comments are my #1 priority tomorrow for those awaiting for a while. I am truly sorry for such a long wait. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

My 5 favorite

Day 19
[Five of your favorite blogs and what you love about them]

#.1 Meg Courtney Photography
[ - Blog - Facebook Page - Website - Instagram - ]
She is a photographer who takes sun-kissed, spontaneous, enchanted photos. The biggest reason why I love her is that she is such a beautiful,unbelievable source of inspiration. She is not only an inspiration when it comes to her career in photography but also in her blog and what she has to say about life. Another reason that I love her is that she enjoys life, is spontaneous and has fun. I have been addicted-ly following her ever since she took my lifestyle photos back in 2011 of October in Kelowna, Bristish Columbia. What a wonderful adventure that was and what a marvelous individual full of talent. The ability to see someone grow from 2011 up until now 2013 and all the progress is fascinating. She has come a long ways into spine-tingling impressiveness. I am so in love with her sun-kissed photos, they're just so beautiful! I probably seem like a crazy fantanic that I really just need to tone it down some, or a whole lot. I probably scare her, lol.. or maybe not a lol. I watch everything she does on showit as well. She is an inspiration to me of what greatness is and what greatness you can achieve if you allow your self the opportunity to go and get it. She is someone who I want to take my engagement and wedding photos when that time comes for me. Another time I would love for her to take photos for me is when I graduate in two years from college if possible then. I would immensely love if she was able to do that for me. I think the most heart-stirring thing that would be a true dream is to learn from her and to attend a workshop by her if she has one in the near future again that I would be able to attend or even one on one mentoring. She is a marvelous superhuman. Oh and has stunning style! Below is a few of her latest images I love.. 

#2. Sincerely, Jules
[ - Blog - Tumblr - Pinterest - Instagram - ]
I love Jules for her stunning style!! It is out of this world! It doesn't matter if it is a dressed up style or low-key she always knows how to make an outfit drop your shades low and gasp in awe, by the inspiring combinations of items she has put together. This is one fashion blogger that I would love love love love to meet in person, because she seems so cool! I love all her photos on instagram  as well that she shares with her readers, that instagram is a great way to connect by imagery. I love what she always has to post. How I heard of Sincerely, Jules was actually an article from Teen Vogue that I had picked up and she was featured. I went onto my computer typed her blog name and I was instantly hooked! I can't say I have followed her from 2009, day one because I never knew of her. I have however been following her now for a couple of years and I can't get enough of jules! She is so awesome and someone I admire when it comes to style and her marvelous outstanding fashion sense. She's one of my fashion idols when it comes to style. 

#.3 Brizzie Styles
[ - Blog - Facebook PageInstagram - ]

 Ms. Brizzie Styles I heard about from the lovely Meg Courtney, who I mentioned above! I just clicked onto the link that was posted on her facebook page and there I was. She has such a brilliant sense of style! I love love seeing her strikingly pretty outfits that she puts together, because she is damn good! I love how she's a stylist, because I am a fashion addict and I would love to do that as a job. I would love to pick at her mind and converse all over and about every little thing fashion! I think even a fashion blog post collaboration would be super cool as well, just an idea... thought I would throw it out there. ;) And hello?? Canadians gotta support Canadians, I feel we are outnumbered by you lovely beautiful American bloggers & other world (European) specific bloggers! ;) I think you should check her out, like now and run over there but don't leave without leaving some love on her blog. :)

Love Taza

This was super hard and I couldn't not mention all 3 in one! They all have kid(s) and they all dress remarkably spectacular and share their life with exquisite photos whether its about their style, little one(s), the love of their life, family or travel. I enjoy viewing all their blogs and I wanted to share all of them with you. I am sucker for little kid(s), especially when they have infectious style just like their momma / parents. It makes my heart flutter in awe and pure joy! Click, click, click all three and check them out because they are radiant and their blogs are delightful, graceful and exciting!! 


#5. Fashion Hippie Loves
[ - Blog - Facebook PageInstagram - ]

Anni aka Fashion Hippie Loves I had found by pure honest fluke. I had never heard of her until recently by the lovely instagram. I clicked on her name and all these sensational outfits that she posted photos of made me fall in love. When I mean fall in love I mean world series kind of love! She puts together dazzling outfits and they make my heart rock in full blown o m g what is she doing to me, she's good! I think she is absolutely heavenly and completely ravishing! I dig her and so should you.. go look go look that's an order!! ;) 

#6. Kristin Leigh
[ - Blog - Oh My My My SeriesFacebook PageInstagram - ]



This is an extra bonus for you guys!! She is a wedding photographer first off. I love Kristen for her writing! She has impressive writing skills! When I mean impressive I mean steller, world class. I have not come across someone who writes this descriptive, this divine, or this magnificent. She is that good in my opinion. The best best part I love of her blog is the Oh My My My series, it is beyond words. It's like a disney fairytale, so enchanted! I think it is that good, that well written and that awe-in love you can feel has though it is so real you're there in the story. Her words make you feel lost in what shes saying and you're not thinking about anything else at the moment. I get so enthusiastic about a new post from that series. Even besides that writing series, the other writing on people itself is out right remarkably beautiful and utterly amazing. She's that good, that genuine and that real. She can tell you a story and a story like nobody's business can she tell. She is someone I would love to meet and learn from when it comes to writing skills, to better the potential that is possible within me. She picks out the greatest quotes at the beginning! I definitely think you should check her out! This my recent most favorite quote she had started with for one of her recent posts "Advice? I don't have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you're writing, you're a writer. Write like you're a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there's no chance for a pardon. Write like you're clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breathe, and you've got just one last thing to say, like you're a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God's sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we're not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don't. Who knows, maybe you're one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to." [ - Alan Watts] 

Have a lovely day & Happy Long Weekend! =)
