February Favourites

Bullet Journalling - Bullet Journalling is a process developed by Ryder Carroll. It is a way of organizing tasks and events so it is easy and allows for efficiency. There is a rabbit hole of videos about it on YouTube. It ranges from being simple to complete works of art. People can put a lot of detail into them. Personally, I use a Leuchtturm 1917 notebook in the azure colour. It is the most popular journal used for bullet journalling, and I love it. For a while I was using small Muji journals and using some aspects of bullet journalling, but this notebook really helps.

My bullet journal is: important dates and appointments, goals, financial planning, travel plans, monthly spreadsheets, weekly timelines, daily tasks and pondering, rough sketches, small collages, recipes, and it just keeps growing. The benefit and the idea is that a bullet journal is a way of tracking and organizing your life so it is easy to place. It is also a process that you ultimately control, so you can pick up and leave off wherever you want.

Greenhouse juices - I think this is my new favourite place to pick up juices in Toronto. The TKO and the Giver are both so filling in a way that I have never found juices to be. Also, the shape and weight of the bottle makes it a great reusable water bottle.

Daniel Caesar - Above is a film photo of the man himself playing a free acoustic set at Trinity Bellwoods Park. He is blowing up at the moment, but knowing and seeing him around the city is unreal. Listen to Get You, Violet, and Won't Live Here. His sound is nothing short of beautiful.

Winter Stations 2017 - Last Thursday, it was a warm day. It felt like spring, or a cooler summer day. At one point, I was walking around outside in a t-shirt, which is unheard of for February in Toronto. I had a knapsack packed with water, my camera and some food. I walked along the Beaches to see the Winter Stations. The Stations themselves were beautiful and so intricate. More than that though, this experience of being by myself, strolling along the beach... I loved it. It was all so, so nice and wonderful.

Backstreet Boys - Just the classic stuff from the '90s. I blame my best friend Ellen who mentioned the group while we were out for brunch. I've been on a BSB kick since.
