tick tock

Im not really sure if it's the weather thats changing my mood, Im feeling so damn inspired lately. I just want to do everything creative as possible! I want to draw more, take more photos, painting more, code more, I want to work more, travel more, and design more. If there was only enough hours in a day to complete everything I wanted to do. I wish I didn't have to sleep, I feel like it gets in the way of being so productive. Ugh. I feel so filled with energy, yet so sleepy from all of today. I hope tomorrow can be a super duper productive day. I guess we'll start with a huge cup of coffee in the morning, I think things will be alright.



Life

Hey, so I've recently discovered possibilities within art and design.
I actually love editorial so much, I love how clean and simple it can be, and how it can look just the way you want it to. I've discovered that even places around the city have their own blogs that offer exactly what I want to offer in my blog, but imagine getting paid to do it! I hope that I can start to make this little blog a work of art, to use it as a diary, a place to post photographs, use it as a portfolio etc. Anyways... I just need to start posting more to get a viewership and maybe this little place can turn into something way more. Arg. its just getting to that point of posting everything, especially something interesting... when I feel like everything in my life is dull and quite boring.

sorry, not sorry. story about a blurb

I haven't posted anything in agessssssss. The cold weather is getting to me, the amount of things due at school is getting to me, the idea of losing my (awesome) part time job is getting to me. If you don't know... Target Canada is closing down, and I am one of the 17,800 people losing their job. It completely sucks because I actually love my job so much. The company is amazing, they treat you like a real human being and not a slave ridden robot. Unfortunately it's coming to an end because of lack of studies within the Canadian economy. I will now have to go to the States to find awesome things from target.  I guess everything is meant to be? Maybe I'll meet someone awesome on my trip to an American target and offer me a job at target as a designer :0 ... a girl can dream right? pfft.

I've also been so unsure about my path in life, but I guess thats what comes with the territory of being a 23 year old trying to figure it out.  I'm feeling inspired to make this blog more about outfit posts and less about recipes and all that. Oh man, I have so many thoughts of what I want in life to be honest.

I'm hoping next week I'll be able to take outfit posts and get inspired more about fashion, assuming I'm not going to freeze my ass off in this awesome (que. sarcasm) -30 temperature...

I feel like I want to focus on getting healthy in my life by proper exercise and healthy eating, only because my dads side is not a healthy bunch and I'm hoping to avoid that whole thing. I will miss eating ice cream sandwiches and red velvet cupcakes.

Oh, also... I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed this Wednesday coming up... thank youuuuuu lord. These bad boys have been hurting my face for way tooooo long. Woot!

Anyway... I guess thats enough ranting, blurbing, speaking nonsense for tonight. It actually helped me feel better about things.

Recipe - White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

For christmas I got an awesome gift from my boyfriends parents. It was a mason jar full of ingredients to make these white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies, my oh my thats a mouth full. I decided to make them on this frigid day.

It didn't quite tell me what the measurements of each ingredient was in the jar, it just said to pour it all into a large mixing bowl with 1/2 cup of soften margin or butter, 1 large egg and 1 tsp of vanilla.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

In a large mixing bowl,  Beat together 1/2 cup of margin or butter softened, 1 larget egg and 1 tsp of vanilla. Add the contents of the jar and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Use a table spoon to scoop out the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet, bake for 8-10 minutes & put on a cooling rack.

I believe I over baked mine, and the oatmeal stuck to the pan so bad. I would recommend putting parchment paper on the cookie sheet.

I hope you guys attempt to make these cookies (sorry I don't have the exact measurements for the cookies, but I hope you enjoy it! Especially with milk. These are very rich in taste though!)

what do i call this post?

Nothing exciting happened today, just another average school day. Though, I think this semester is my favourite as of yet. Only 1 more year left until I have to become a "real" adult, how depressing haha, on the bright side—I think 2015 might be way more exciting than I've anticipated. I already have some plans to broaden my horizons with new adventures! I'm so excited to see what the days ahead will bring, and I'm happy that I've created a blog to help document it!

nom

Today I decided to make white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies. I stayed home from school because today was freeeeeeezing. I sound like a wimp, but honestly Canadian winters are long and frigid. Today was the coldest day yet I believe of winter, and well I only had 1 class. I sound like a slacker especially since it's a new semester ugh. Anyways, here is my attempt at these cookies.

first day

 First day of Semester 3. 
I love how much school inspires me, even though I cannot wait for it to be done.
