Oh how time flies!! Hello 2013!!
I am currently in a state of awe and grace. Aw at the fact that it is 2013 and I am turning twenty six this year, grace at the fact that 2012 will look like a cake walk compared to the insanity I have in store for 2013!!
I am so pumped at the opportunities coming my way already, and we are only seventeen days in! I am working with a ton of new talent this year, Bloggers Night Out is whipping up some amazing events and ideas, this here blog should be (I repeat, should – ) be becoming more frequent than once a week (who am I kidding, ahem, twice-a-month).
Until then though, may I introduce you to my new man. Phillip. Phillip, meet the world. Phillip was an over-the-top-not-needed-nor-necissary-partial Christmas gift from my two bestest (I know) friends (I know…). Needless to say we are inseparable, although I feel like so far it’s a one-sided relationship, for example. any chance Phillip seems to get, he jumps off the face of the earth a.k.a where ever I place him.
No worries though, it took me eight years to force the boyfriend to love me (kidding — I think?), I can handle a simple guy named Phill … I mean Lord, Sir, Phillip Lim.
I hope the holidays were cherished, time was spent relaxing and you all managed to take a moment to remember that you are an incredible human being, you are alive, and are never too young or naive to chase your dreams.
I’ve said it a million times, I don’t believe in resolutions, but I do believe in holding your dreams accountable. Write them down and watch how you grow throughout the year, you may just surprise yourself.

With only two more weeks until Christmas I can’t help but squeal every time I hear a Christmas song! Christmas truly is a magical time of year, and this year, it seems to be contagious. For the first time, in a couple of years, everybody seems to be in the holiday spirit despite the lack of snow around … but you know me, I’ll still be dreaming of a white Christmas.
My favorite thing about the holidays is spending time with my family and friends! This year will be a year of new adventures, I am headed to my grandparents to bake and have a sleep over, my man friends parents bought a place at the foot of the biggest ski and snowboard destination north of Toronto and I will be spending some of my holidays on the slopes along with cozy nights by the fire. There is no cable so board games and old movies are definitely on the agenda! The man friend coaches hockey and has entered into a tournament the last weekend of December, but has sworn it will be a blast and has booked us a suite to have a little getaway! Mostly though, I am just thrilled to be spending a consecutive week with my best friend, as we haven’t done that since June (gasp!)
To You & Yours. Happy Christmas.

Like always, I am all over the place. Spaz.
These last couple of weeks have been intense at work and I have had little time to myself or to breath … between weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and dinosaurs I seem to find little time to do anything for myself.
But that will change, as the holidays are one month away (almost!) and I am dedicating that entire time to my family, man friend and close friends.
In other great news, the man friend and I are planning a trip to Italy for the summer – so if you have some suggestions please let me know! I’ve been before but wasn’t in charge of anything in terms of planning, so this is all new to me! help!

I blogged twice this week!!!! yippy!!! AND this week is probably one of my busiest of the year – so I have NO idea how I pulled it off, thanks Manfriend for taking these shots … (usually I take my own).
With World MasterCard Fashion Week aka Toronto Fashion Week coming to a close, you’d think I would be as calm as a cucumber … but alas, after this week it is straight into holiday season for this girl, with corporate events and Bloggers Night Out brewing … you never really know which continent I’ll be on, but something tells me this winter I wont be flocking south … so please stay tuned for that!
Life is finally settling down (physically!) I’ve had some crazy health scares and issues in the last four weeks, (which I will share soon – I promise!), one of my best friends got married and I got to be the best maid of honour ever (her words – not mine!), my Manfriend is bomb, always – and life just seems to be piecing together quite nicely.
I hope things are settling for you before the holidays come rushing in – my words of advice? stop to smell those damn roses, even if they are an over played flower.
And yes …. I am aware my hat says Cock … clearly I take myself super seriously …
