The Glebe

One of the challenges for my Internship was to go to a neighbourhood in Ottawa and take some pictures and make a little film. It was due the day after I got back to Ottawa after Thanksgiving so I really had limited time in making this. Still though, I'm pretty happy with it based on only having a few hours to shoot it and put it together. I really wanted to work with the theme of home, that you should make sure you always have a place you can come home to and feel completely at ease and comfortable. 


My next challenge is to write a blog post about an event in the Glebe, so today I'm going to go on over to the Farmers' Market that happens every Sunday to snap some pictures and pick up some produce. Have a lovely autumny Sunday!

Indian Summer

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope all of you get to have lots of delicious turkey! I took the bus home for the weekend and I'm back in Ottawa tomorrow afternoon. It was a short weekend but it was good! Can you believe this weather? It was about 30 degrees yesterday and it felt like summer!

The other day I got some really good news that I've been meaning to share. I applied for and got a Social Media Internship! It's for 3 months and it involves blogging 3x a week for a company in Ottawa. It's so me! It doesn't feel like work at all :) At the end of the internship, the best intern receives an iPad 2, so I'm going to work really hard to get that. One of my projects due this week involves making a short video about a neighbourhood in Ottawa. It's going to be a short little film and I think it's going to be pretty cute. I'll post it on my blog when I'm done :)

I found this poem yesterday that my mom wrote when she was in high school. I think it fits with the autumny atmosphere that's happening right now.

Who's That Girl?

I had been toying around with the idea of getting bangs again for a long time but I was always too chicken to get them done again. Well, last week I took the plunge on a whim and I'm so happy with the result! I decided that I might as well get it done and quit wondering! Here's a picture of the final result!

I have to say that I was really inspired by Zooey Deschanel's hair, especially in her show "New Girl"! Sometimes I wish that my hair was a gorgeous mocha colour, but I should really learn to love my natural hair colour as it is. What do you think of my hair now?

A Must Read For All Dog Lovers

I found this on Pinterest and it is so adorable that I had to share. This made me tear up when reading it, it is so, so sweet. It makes me want to get a dog and spoil him with toys, love and delicious treats. 

1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful remember that before you get me. 

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 

3. Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being. 

4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment. 

5. You have your work, your entertainment,and your friends. I only have you. 

6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understands your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me. 

7. Be aware that how ever you treat me, I will never forget. 

8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you. 

9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative,obstinate,or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out to long, or my heart is getting to old and weak. 

10. Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say: "I cannot bear to watch" or "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me if you are there, even my death. Remember that I love you.

Romantic Star Projector

I have been coveting star projectors for the past year and I've been trying to find a company that sells them. I gave up for a while, but the other day while I was browsing Pinterest, I saw some pictures from the online shop INFMETRY that sells them!

Wouldn't this be so romantic to have in your bedroom or your kitchen while having dinner? Just imagine, a guy invites you over to make you dinner and he surprises you with a delicious meal, some wine, and some Bon Iver playing in the background. I want this projector sooo bad! If someone buys it for me, you'll be my favourite person forever! ;)
