I know this may not seem like a big deal to anyone (with small boobs) but today I put on a while tshirt and it actually looked cute. ???
Simple Style, The White T-Shirt
Here We Go! Weight Off My Shoulders ??
Sitting in the waiting room with my sister. An hour from now I’ll be in surgery. I can’t wait to have new boobs and ditch some of this weight! I’m looking forward to this all being over and starting a new workout regime in a couple weeks. I’ll be able to wear cute workout clothes for once! And only 1 bra!
In other news, someone’s dad decided the waiting room for surgery was a great place to listen to all the different bird sounds from a bird watching website. I politely asked him to get headphones or stop. I’m in hospital clothes (he wasn’t) so I feel like I can do that rn.

Putting the JOY in JOMO
There’s a good chance you met me at an event (if we’ve met IRL). Over the past 10 years I have gone to as many events as I could. Some weeks 3/night for 3/5 days a week. It’s a great way to meet new people, make friends, and expand your network. It’s also quite tiring, as is living on the internet and sharing your life throughout the day.
I still love going out but since my digital detox in Costa Rica I’ve also come to love being home. There was a time when I would trek across the city just to see everyone be seen at a party, then back to another event, and dance the night away. Now, quite often, I find myself scrolling photos from people who were out the night before thinking ‘ooh, that looks fun’ and feeling joy that I didn’t make it.
You see, I’ve been to SO MANY things that I don’t really feel like I’m missing out.
I know there’ll always be cool new things but I also knowI mentally feel great when I have a good sleep and get up early, checking things off my list.
I make a point to pop by things hosted by people I care about or someone I’d like to meet, I’m just a little more choosy now.
I find it’s great to bundle them and make pit stops early so you can get home at a reasonable hour.
Clearly I’m getting older, ha!

Friday Fun!
This morning I was at the Four Seasons for a shoot with Kelsey who is a co-owner of Anamaya Resort in Costa Rica. We were taking about my digital detox and the importance of disconnecting in an uber connected world.

Been Using Miracle 10 for 3 Months – Here’s My Results!
I get heaps of beauty products and I try to use them all but, I only have one face. I often share them with mum, my sisters or friends. A couple months ago I was invited to The 10 Spot to try out Miracle 10 and get a mani. In searching email I found out that I was first contacted in 2013 about this product, created by a Canadian skin care company and developed by The Plastic Surgery Skincare Clinic Inc. I kinda suck at sticking to a beauty regime but I gave Miracle 10 try for 2 months and actually documented my face as it changed.
This product was gifted to me and I didn’t have to blog about it BUT I noticed a difference and since I took all those selfies I owe it to myself to share!
Getting this Off My Chest ?
I’m not really sure how to share this with the world but since I’ve been documenting here for a decade, it’s probably the best spot!
About a month ago I got a phone call that changed my life. Today is the first step before a HUGE life change. I’m getting a breast reduction.
I’ve been talking about doing this since I grew them 20 years ago. ?? Last year I went to a doctor and got a referral to a great surgeon. At my appointment he took some measurements and sent the info to OHIP. I didn’t hear anything for about 6 months and then I got the call.
Today my sister is coming to my pre-op appointment. I’m not feeling too nervous because I’ve actually waited a lifetime for this. I’ve had back pain and dents in my shoulders for too long!
I was considering not writing about it but reading other people’s stories on the RealSelf forum has really helped with anxiety and motivation. Hopefully at least one person reading this finds it helpful or inspiring.
Hopefully the appointment today goes well. Nervous excited is my favourite feeling. ?
UPDATE: My appointment was amazing! My sister and I loved meeting the staff, we had a bunch of laughs and felt like the nurse was one of my friends. I’m pleased to know I won’t be on bed rest and will be totally ok to walk around post surgery, it’s even encouraged. The stitches dissolve which is good bc I’ve seen some gross photos. They take out 50% of the weight and I can’t wait (haha) to know what THAT feels like. I’m soooooo looking forward to being able to run without having them bounce around and exercising in normal exercise not wearing a pile of bras/clothes to hide/secure them.
Feeling very thankful to live in Canada where Ontario Health Insurance Plan covers this. Legit #blessed! In 2 weeks I’m gonna be a new woman. I might even start doing outfit posts!

Summer eReading in the Sun + Kobo Giveaway
Since getting my Kobo reader I’ve read more in the last 2 months than I have in the past couple years. ? I used to spend (a little too much) time scrolling my phone before bed, now I scroll a few pages of my book. Reading a book is much better relaxation before bed than reading random tweets or Facebook status updates, trust me on this one. I also really love how easy it is to read in the sun, together we’ve lazed on the dock, rode the sunny streetcar, and chilled in the park.
Last month I accepted the Kobo 7-Day e-reading challenge (read that post here), to replace my print book with a Kobo Glo HD for 7 days. Don’t get me wrong, I love paper books but fitting a pile in your carry-on or daily purse is just NOT practical. Kobo was created to please us fans of print books and tech lovers alike.
Aside from my loonnnng reading list I just learned they have MAGAZINES. ??
I’m currently reading HER, a novel by Harriet Lane and have recently finished YOU by Carolyn Kepness and Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave. During the summer I like reading light hearted chick lit or mystery novels. It’s a great way to take my brain on an adventure and step away from work. A few other great things about Kobo
- reading a preview of a book before you buy
- using the app on any of your devices
- built in wifi
- super light (not heavy)
The kind folks at Kobo have given me a device for YOU. The brand new Kobo Glo HD retails for $139.99, comes fully equipped with wifi, customizable fonts/text size/margins, and the battery lasts f-o-r-e-v-e-r. Ok, well not forever but waaaaay longer than your iPhone.
The contest is open to anyone in Canada and runs today till Friday, June 10th. Enter below!
