…almost 2 years, actually! Naturally, a lot has changed since my last blog post. Looking back, I can see the signs that my blog was dying. My posts had gradually become more infrequent and felt uninspired. Despite that, I didn’t intend to stop blogging. For years, this blog was a very significant part of my life and who I was. I couldn’t imagine not having a blog. And yet, I just… stopped blogging. Over the last couple of years (and especially in the last several months), there have been times I’ve thought about blogging again, but couldn’t muster up enough inspiration to do it. Why I Stoppe ..read more

Seattle Travel Diary – A Weekend City Guide to Seattle

As you might already know, I recently spent a few days in Seattle. Matt lived in Seattle for a few years, so I was really excited when he suggested I join him on a business trip. Naturally, I documented some of the highlights of my trip on Instagram Stories and have been sharing some photos on my feed. It was my first time in Seattle, so there was a lot I wanted to see and do. This post is essentially my “travel diary” and a weekend city guide to Seattle – plus a bunch of photos. If you live in Seattle, along my journeys I came across a company that pays cash for Seattle homes, IwillBuyHouse ..read more

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend like I did. For the second year in a row, I participated in the Annual Terry Fox Run with Matt’s family. While the main purpose of the run is to raise money for cancer research, the run itself is also a lot of fun. I was hoping all of my “training” at OrangeTheory would pay off this year – and I think it did. I completed 3 laps around the course, which was a total distance of ~9.5km. Granted, I took a short break between laps 2 and 3, but considering we did the first 6+km in about 32 minutes, it was necessary! Normally, I struggle with En ..read more

I can’t believe that it’s already September! Where did the summer go? As much as I love the fall season, the end of summer always makes me feel a little bit sad. It’s never easy to say goodbye to those long days, warm nights, weekly softball games, eating outdoors, and fresh local produce. Despite that, I am excited about the new season and the overall feeling of a fresh start that September brings. I’m certainly hoping to have the opportunity for a fresh start this month! As you probably know, I unexpectedly lost my job back in May. At the time, I was upset and frustrated, but I figured it ..read more

Guess who’s back, back again. Jackie’s back, tell a friend. Guess who’s back, guess who’s back? Guess who’s back, guess who’s back? Uhhh…okay, I’ll stop. LOL As you probably saw on my Instagram, last night, Matt and I went out for a really nice dinner at The Commoner Restaurant. They just opened their Dundas West doors a couple of weeks ago and it’s already hopping. They were so kind as to invite me in to check out the space and try the food, so I happily accepted. I brought my camera along, because I anticipated that the food would be photogenic. As I expected, the food was beautiful and de ..read more

I know, I know. It’s been a minute since my last post. Again. I haven’t felt the inspiration to post lately, and the longer I go without posting, the more pressure I put on myself…and then I avoid it completely. It’s been ages since I’ve felt like going out and shooting outfit photos, frankly, because I haven’t been shopping! I’m still on the hunt for a new job, so the only shopping I’ve been doing is for essentials (ex: food, gas, etc). If you had told me back in May that I’d still be looking for a job in July, I would have laughed in your face (or maybe cried??). Quite a few people have to ..read more

Happy Friday!! This week has certainly had its ups and downs. I touched on it a little bit in this post, but as you probably know, I’ve spent the last few weeks looking for a new job. Applying for jobs is not fun, but neither is going through the interview process. It’s an emotionally exhausting experience. One minute, it seems like there’s a plethora of promising opportunities….and the next, the world is handing you a bunch of big fat no’s. It’s hard not to let that weigh on you, despite everyone around me saying that I need to remain optimistic. Since the weekend is here, I know there won ..read more

The weather over the last week or so has been absolute perfection! It’s been sunny, warm and the outdoors has been calling my name. There’s so many different ways to enjoy the summer weather. You can simply lounge around in the backyard, go hiking on one of the trails outside of the city, or enjoy one of the many patios downtown. Over the last couple of weekends, I can happily say that I’ve done all of these things! This weekend, I spent the majority of my time outside in the backyard, but last weekend I was out and about. Last Sunday, Matt and I decided that we wanted to go for an afternoon ..read more

It’s been over a year since I last shared a video on Instagram or YouTube, so… I thought it was time to give it another go! If you saw my recent post on Instagram stories, you’d already know this, but last week, I lost my job. As a result, I’ve found myself with some extra time (and creativity) on my hands. I don’t intend to go back to blogging full-time, but I’m fortunate that I have this platform. Without it, I honestly think I would have lost my mind already. Applying for jobs is not fun – and everyone needs a mental break from that during the day! The other morning when I was a ..read more

Reflecting on the Nature of Blogs

Soaking up the long-awaited spring sunshine At long last! Another new blog post has (finally) gone live! I’m sure it’s evident by my sporadic posting, but lately, I’ve been feeling very uninspired and removed from blogging. I haven’t been able to put my finger on exactly what’s been causing me to feel this way. There isn’t just one reason and it’s pretty hard to explain – even to myself! I can’t tell you how many times in the last few months that I’ve clicked that “new post” button, started typing…and then quickly discarded the draft. I just haven’t known what to write about, or what people ..read more
