♪♫ Just Like Fire - P!nk

I've been away at my boyfriend's for the past week, so that is why I haven't written a blog in a while. Since I am currently feeling really lazy, I'm just going to do this whole blog in bullet points. It will be in no particular order...

• I had an amazing week with my boyfriend, as usual. I feel like we connect more and more each time we are together. I love him so much! ❤️
• I've eaten lots of delicious food lately! I'm still on my diet, but I have had a few days where I cheated. I'm a bit mad at myself, but I'm still going forward!


• Watched the second season of 13 Reasons Why. It has a very disturbing scene in the season finale that I found really shocking. I was not prepared for it. Anyone else see it? If yes, how do you feel about it?
• I colored a pretty picture of a skull. I'm trying to get back into coloring to help with my anxiety!


• I visited my dad and my cat. I got my cat a little tent and some treats. She loved both! Especially the tent... even though she doesn't know how to use it, haha!


• Lucy from The Trailer Park Boys walked right past me while I was downtown. I live in the same city where a lot of the show and the movies were filmed, so its not unusual. It was pretty cool though!
• I bought myself a new journal and a book mark. I adore the purple color of the journal and I love how it zips up! The notebook can be taken out and replaced, so I can use it forever! Also, the bookmark has one of my favorite quotes on it! I plan to write down my thoughts and feelings whenever I'm having a hard time. I think it will be therapeutic!


• I discovered my new favorite drink; Powerade Zero (strawberry)! Its better and cheaper than my other favorite drinks; Vitamin Water Zero!


• I pre-ordered The Squickerwonkers Vol. 2 by Evangeline Lilly! I adore her so much and I already have the first one, so I definitely need the second one!


• I want to get back into reading again. I think I'm going to try on Tuesday. I have a lot of stuff to do before then. I'm also not sure what book I'm going to start up. I have so many options!
• I watched The Hunger Games movies for the first time. They were pretty good! However the last movie was a little bit disappointing. I wish it ended differently...
• The two vegan Urthboxes I ordered have finally arrived! I got lots of snacks to try! So far, my favorite snack is the ranch flavored Dorito-type chips.


• I took a new picture of myself and I feel super cute!


• I played Dungeons and Dragons twice in the past week. It was really fun! Except for almost dying while fighting a dragon, haha!


• I paid for a room in my old city for three nights at the end of the month. From there, I will be going to a small town an hour away to spend a week with my best friend! All together, my vacation will be ten days. I'm so excited! I'm going to go shopping, eat food at my old favorite restaurants, see old friends, and more!
• I ordered a Arwen (Lord of the Rings) Rock Candy figure! I'm excited to get it!


That is all for now!

♪♫ Brite Lites - Lana Del Rey

I have officially moved back home! It feels so good to be back. I'm beyond glad that I'm not in school right now. This break has been good to me so far. A lot of awesome stuff has happened since my last blog. I will start with all my recent purchases! I ordered quite a few things online and bought some things in store; a Jughead Jones Funko Pop Figure, Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series on Blu-ray, Hotel Room on VHS, Blade Runner 2049 on Blu-ray, The Art Life on Blu-ray, cat earrings, Little Life Box and two Urth Boxes.. I will post pictures below of the items that I got in person or have arrived from online.


There was a major scare with my cat a few days before Easter weekend. My dad left an Easter Lily out and my cat ate it. She immediately began throwing up and my dad called poison control, who told him that Easter Lilies are poisonous to cats. He took her to the animal hospital right after that and they kept her for a few days. Luckily she threw most of it up and the vet says her kidneys are fine! She is completely fine now. My dad had to go away for Easter weekend, so I spent the entire weekend with the cat. I gave her lots of attention and yummy food. She purred a lot and seemed quite happy. I'm so glad! It sucks that I didn't get to celebrate Easter, but I did get a big bag of mini eggs! Yay!


I've started up my diet again. Last time I lost 60lbs, but gained back 20lbs. Now I'm planning to lose 70lbs! Last time, I was eating 1250 calories a day to achieve my goal. This time, I am going with 1550, because I am more active and I'd like to lose the weight slower to avoid excess loose skin. So far, its going great. Its been exactly a week and I've already lost 2lbs. I will be on this diet until the late fall, most likely. Wish me luck! Here is an example of what I'd eat in a day...


I spent this past weekend with my boyfriend. He lives an hour away now, so we are taking turns visiting each other every weekend. This upcoming weekend, its his turn! Anyways, it was an amazing weekend. I'm so thrilled that I got to spend time with him! Also, I got some cute pictures of my boyfriend and I from a couple weeks ago that I forgot to post...


Other than that, the only other new thing is that I'm going to be going back to a much more vegan diet. I have been eating too much dairy, which doesn't agree with me. I'm going to stick to one serving a day for now to see how that goes. I still love my cream cheese, sour cream and ice cream! I'm hoping it goes well. I'm quite excited to try new vegan recipes!

♪♫ Dream A Little Dream Of Me - Mama Cass

So I stayed up last night and watched the first two episodes of Twin Peaks season three with 1/3 of a tub of Ben & Jerry's vegan ice cream! I know that I said I wouldn't be able to watch it until today, but I couldn't wait! I signed up for a one month free trial to CraveTV (which is the cheapest way to watch it here in Canada). I just have to remember to cancel it before they bill me, haha! Anyways, it was absolutely beautifully mind bending and absurdly mysterious. I loved every second of it. It is definitely different from what Twin Peaks used to be. It is now reminiscent of every Lynch film ever, which some old Twin Peaks vibes and some entirely new elements.


Episode three and four were also available last night, but it was midnight by the time I was finished watching the first two episodes and I was really tired. So... I ended up watching them this morning when I woke up. I got myself a nice big bowl of Reese Puffs with almond milk, got cozy in my bed and watched them back to back. It seems to just get better and better! Strangely, I feel that this has helped me mentally. I have been feeling depressed for a month or so, but Twin Peaks has sort of pulled me through a bit and now I am thinking about all the exciting things I'm going to do this summer! Its going to be a wild ride!

♪♫ Meet The Creeper - Rob Zombie

Wow... its been like two months since I last blogged! School really consumed my life! I didn't just have a ton of work to do, I also worked at my school's march break camp for kids and then went on placement, then a week of training, and now I am halfway through my second placement. I feel like I have been nonstop working! Speaking of working, I got a summer job at the local youth center! I have done volunteering there before, so I am familiar with it. Its basically a place for youth to drop in anytime its open and hangout in a safe environment. Pretty awesome, eh?!

So much has happened since I last wrote a blog (aside from everything I just mentioned). I will list everything in bullet points, in no particular order...

I ordered three more kimonos online and bought another one at the mall. Now I have five all together to get me through the summer!

I completed my driving classes and am now on my sixth driving lesson! I'm still pretty nervous behind the wheel though.

I bought some pretty awesome stuff both online and in person! Most of this stuff was super cheap. I know it looks like I'm rich or something, haha. I promise you that I'm a broke college student! I'm just good at finding deals! For example, the owl candle holder was $4, the rainbow sun towel was $5, the dream catcher bracelets were only like a little over a dollar each, the "not all who wander are lost" shirt was $12 and the "the lonely mountain" shirt was actually free. I love finding good deals, haha!

I made and ate lots of yummy vegan food! Which reminds me... I really want to be vegan again! I went from vegan to vegetarian last year because I felt like it was easier when I went out to restaurants, was at someone's house or was at an event. However... I know that veganism is better for me and I need to get back to it! My health was never better than when I was vegan! That and my love for animals is my motivation. I think I will spend the summer transitioning back to being vegan!

I got a new phone! Its an LG K4 2017. It may look fancy, but its just a prepaid phone. I paid like $150 all together with taxes. I also bought a cute dream catcher case and a screen protector on Ebay for super cheap! My old phone was acting up and giving me trouble, so I decided that it was time for a new phone.

Since I am a horror movie addict, I paid approximately $50 for a one year membership to Shudder, which is like Netflix for just horror movies! It has a pretty decent selection too!

I had to move to a different town last month to do my first placement. It was a really awesome experience! I stayed in a bed and breakfast, which was owned by a nice British couple. I got the biggest room they had, which had a sun room attached to it and a kitchenette so that I could make my own food! It was so lovely! Also... my placement was wonderful. My last day was so sad! The children asked me to stay and I had to tell them that I couldn't. It was heartbreaking. They even gave me some handmade parting gifts!

I got hooked on Riverdale. I didn't expect to love it as much as I do! I typically don't watch teen shows, but this one really pulled me in!

Randomly spotted this snake in the parking lot of the bus station. I named him Joe. I hope he is doing well.

I'm still waiting on these things to arrive in the mail. I used coupons for everything, so I paid about $70 including shipping. The first four things are from an artist that I have been following for a while. I have admired her work, but I never seemed to have enough money to purchase anything from her. She recently announced that her shop will be closing because of her health and she posted a discount code, so I took the opportunity to purchase all the things that I liked from her shop. The rest of the stuff is from Chapters. I got $10 off from my rewards card and two of the items were already discounted, so it was an awesome deal! I especially like the "dream a little dream" jewelry dish. I always have that song stuck in my head!

Took a new selfie and I love it!

Today is the day!!! Twin Peaks season three!!! I am so excited!!! However... I have to wait till tomorrow to watch it because I don't have Showtime. Ahhh!!!

I got my grades back from last semester and not only did I pass everything, I also got really good grades! Hard work pays off!

When I was away for my last placement, the Brisith couple I was staying with happened to be vegetarians and they had a vegetarian potluck! It was awesome! They made this mac 'n cheese dish with faux hamburger and it was sooo good!

That was a lot... I am hoping to keep up with blogging so that I don't have to write giant blogs like this every time I blog. I'm going to try to write another one tomorrow after I watch the first two episodes of Twin Peaks season three! Also... I'm going to spend the rest of my day updating different areas of my blog, updating social networking sites and updating my phone. Lots to do! I am not feeling well (I think I caught a virus), so hopefully I can get it all done!
