WILLKOMMEN IN BERLIN
First week done!
It didn’t start out quite as I had planned but I made it none the less. Which such a rough start I decided to give myself this week to just relax, get used to the routine and my surroundings.
13 MOVIES I WATCHED WITHOUT CONTEXT AND LOVED
Trailers are becoming more like short films than the visual amuse bouche they are meant to be. So every once in a while I’ll pick a film based on the poster alone.
WHAT A JOURNEY
Have you ever flown business? I haven’t, so for this trip, as a present to myself, I got myself a Premium Comfort seat. It’s one class below First Class but it might as well be called business. I can under stand why people pay the big bucks for this level of comfort. A dedicated menu…
OFF TO BERLIN!
It’s today! I’m flying off to Berlin, Germany. I’m writing this as I wait for boarding in the Austin Airport. Wonder Woman is here keeping me company while I got us some Starbucks. It is summer (in Toronto terms) right now in Austin, so we opted for the Peach Green Tea, very refreshing.
11 THINGS TO DO IN TORONTO AND 4 TO SKIP
Coming to Toronto and don’t know what to see? This is my guide to the best place in the city and those you can skip.
TORONTO: WHICH NEIGHBOURHOOD IS FOR YOU
With 90% of Canada’s population living less than 150 miles from the US border, it’s no surprise that Toronto accounts for nearly 8% of that, over 2.7 million people. When travelling outside of Toronto to other provinces or neighbouring cities or other countries saying “I’m from Toronto” will suffice.
HELLO AUSTIN!
Getting to Austin was no picnic. We were delayed by the snow storm in Toronto, then the plane had to de-ice, it was just not fun. What was meant to be a 3 hour flight turned into a 5 hour journey. So now that I’ve landed I thought I deserved a treat, and I wanted a cupcake. A red velvet cupcake to be exact.
Dear Caroline
It’s finally time! I’m headed to Europe! I’ve sold all my stuff, saved what I needed for Europe, and now I’m headed to Texas for a quick vacation before I fly off to Berlin.
THROUGH IT ALL
I thought picking my “favourite song” would be difficult because depending on my day, mood, whatever it changes from minute to minute. But surprisingly when I thought about it the first and only song that came to mind was Through It All by Charlie Puth.
DUNKIRK
This is a very big deal. I have been waiting 2 ½ years for this film. Ever since it was announced that Christopher Nolan would be doing a ‘war film’ I’ve been glued to my google alerts for any information. Soon we got a title, then the casting rumours began.
KIWI
When Sign of the Times came on the radio I honestly didn’t know it was Harry Styles’ single. I thought it was Lady Gaga, it sounded like Born This Way meets A Million Reasons. I wasn’t too impressed. I downloaded the pre-sale album anyway, curious to see what other songs this guy might have in him.
SLOW HANDS
One month anniversary writing this blog! How time flies. Though I’ve not been adhering to my post a day schedule, it’s crazy to think that one month ago was my official launch, you could say, back into life.
ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN
What song makes me happy….? Now that’s a tough one cause there are so many to choose from. After a bit of reflection, Absolutely Smitten fit the bill perfectly.

5 KITCHEN ITEMS THAT ARE A WASTE OF SPACE AND MONEY
During the pandemic it seemed like every other week there was a new kitchen trend that went viral. Sour dough, Dalgona Coffee, Banana Bread, you name it, it had its 15 minutes. Many new and exotic kitchen appliances also became trendy and most were overpriced, space-guzzling items that, in my opinion, no one should have in their kitchen.
