Within the span of a month, I got a new job, a new house and a new puppy- about 8 months later, I got engaged! I am now planning a mostly DIY wedding, mostly because I'm a little OCD and can't stand the thought of not planning every single detail of my wedding!
My fiance and I are also constantly doing something around our home- to make it more of a home! Whether it be painting, gardening, building or refinishing, we always have projects on the go! This will be my outlet to show you before and afters, tutorials, projects and to share information about me, my experiences and my life.
Although I work at a hospital, my true passion is that of a creative soul. I have a Fashion Design + Marketing Diploma and I haven't lost sight of my passion. That's why I'm always trying to keep my creative eye open! I love illustrating and designing, not only fashion but anything I can! I'll share photos of my illustrations and any ideas that I can communicate by putting pen to paper.
Did I mention I used to be a Lancome Rep at the Bay? Well, I did! And since then, (or more accurately long before then), I became absolutely obsessed with beauty. I'm always on the hunt for the next big thing- the next best product. I have a ton of reviews to catch up on and I'm sure there will be a ton more in my future of blogging! Maybe even some tutorials!
Did I mention I'm getting married? Well, over the last few years, I've gained [more then] a few unnecessary pounds and I want to shred those before my wedding/ honeymoon and more than anything, I want to rock a bikini on the beach with my family next January! Problem is, I keep losing initiative. However, I'm starting a boot camp next month, and the combo of that plus the accountability of this- this might just be the time! I'm unsure of the # I wish to see on the scale, but my goal is to be able to fit into the gorgeous "7 for all mankind" size 29s I picked up for super sale!
More short term, I need to learn to run 5k before June 30 when I'm running Color Me Rad in Calgary! Any tips/ pointers would be much appreciated!
Speaking of a bargain, I love bargain hunting! Nothing too extreme, I just love finding deals on items I love! And since I've started wedding planning, I can't get enough of thrift shopping- you can find some "hmm" pieces, add a coat of paint, and get some real "wow" items!
I also love finding really unique jewelry- it's kind of my signature style. Be it a delicate "gold" wind up rabbit, or a large articulated deer head, I love having something no one else has and that reflects in a lot of what I wear.
Well, I think that's enough for now- I can't give away everything in the first post or what's to get you to come back?
See you on the flip-side,
Morgan
