Happy Friday! It's a long weekend, awww yeah! Last night I went and saw Star Trek Into Darkness and it was pretty phenomenal, admittedly a lot of that had to do with certain eye candy (and nerdiness).

I have totally exciting news! This year for my birthday I am giving myself the massive and super delightful present of going to Vancouver for a week! I have really been itching to get out of the city and go on a new adventure. One of my very dear friends moved out west after she graduated from school, because she's awesome and adventurous (yeah TG I'm talking about you!). I am going to stay with her and have awesome friend-bonding-hilarity time. As well as totally exploring the city. I have done a fair amount of solo travelling in my life, so I am really looking forward to diving into Vancouver and having west coast adventure time. I hadn't realized how much I missed traveling until I allowed myself to believe I could go on a trip, then it was as if the flood gates opened and so. many. thoughts. all came rushing like HOLYSHITOHMYGODIFORGOTHOWAWESOMETHISISGOINGTOBE. Think all the things! Feel all the feels! Hi wanderlust, nice to see you again, I forgot what you felt like.

So, yeah. Vancouver. Totally a thing that is happening. Not even excited.

Jaykay. I'm the most excited human. You should totally watch that video, it's gorgeous and will make you feel all the feels. PS here's some travel-y type stuff

Keeping a travel journal would be a really cool thing to do

What are your Vancouver recommendations? Places to visit? Things to eat? Inappropriate things to touch? Let me know, I'm all ears!

fun things to do in Toronto // Withrow Park Farmers Market

Attention east-end dwelling Toronto friends! This Saturday is the first market of the season for the Withrow Park Farmer's Market! Last summer I volunteered on (most) Saturday mornings and into the fall, so I am totally using this space to plug the market! As far as markets around the city go, it's a really good one. There's tons of fresh produce, meat, eggs, cheese and fish as well as delicious hot coffee, pastries (like, woah good) and other yummy treats. Hello, fish tacos! Here's a list of all the vendors that will be there on Saturday. Opening day has some really great events like a cook book swap, free bike tune ups and a community compost pile! It's going to be awesome. Also, I will be there, which of course is the second most important reason to visit. Here's a cool free Farmers Market Guide printable to get your shopping and cooking organized.

hi mom!
