Hello friends! 

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, but I feel like most of this is about my time in Canada and other bits are just random. We'll just roll with it though, I suppose. 

1 // I had my first casino experience this weekend in Windsor. While I'm not really sure how I vibe with casinos, it was some good people watching. There was quite the range from people right off the streets to people super dressed up just kind of milling around, but that kind of seems to be the Windsor vibe. Casinos make me a smidge nervous though, because I totally have the personality that could get me in trouble with gambling. I'm very much a "I have to play until I win" type of person, so for now I'm going to stick to Dave & Busters games... 

2 // Speaking on Canada, also had my first poutine experience. While the name totally grosses me out and makes me feel v uncomfortable, they were actually delicious. Who would've thought french fries topped with gravy and about 500 other things could taste so good? 10/10 recommend trying them out (especially with mushrooms + bacon if that's your thing). 

3 // Totally in love with the super cute romper that is kind of but not really featured in the pic above (sorry in advance if me and Matt want to make you puke, I'm just pretty fond of him... so actually not sorry?). I got it from Express, and besides being super breezy and looking like a dress, it also has a pretty rad back action happening. Check it out here! 

4 // Keeping with the theme of my foreign adventures, currently sitting on about $90+ in Canadian currency. Because I forgot to exchange it before crossing back over. Possible way to keep myself from spending all my money or just another thing only I would do? You be the judge of that one. 

5 // On something unrelated to all of the above, I am 4 (?) days out from move-in and only have two boxes packed. Partially ticked off with myself but also fully aware that I only work well under pressure and I'm not feeling the pressure just yet. At least it's all small stuff left... though the small stuff is usually the most annoying for me. 

6 // Totally slacked off on my gym game last week & am posting this as a reminder to myself that it's okay to have off weeks. I mostly just want to keep myself accountable for heading to the gym this week so that I can hit it hard before moving back to campus. 

Tuesday Thoughts Pt. 2

Hi friends! 

Once again I've fallen behind on my Monday Musings, but since I never like to leave anything unfinished, here's another "Tuesday Thoughts."

hopefully these pups cheer up your dreary tuesday!

Two piece // I've been dying over adorable two piece sets lately, but this one has to be the cutest that I've seen in a while! Such a great print for the (hopefully) upcoming warm weather, and at such an affordable price? You can't say no! 

Inspiration // For some odd reason, fitness accounts of instagram give me an insane amount of inspiration to do anything. New workout? Let's do it. Fancy recipe? Let's tackle it. I'm telling you... the power these things have really needs to be tapped into more. 

Fitness // Partially out of boredom and partially out of too much unspent energy, your girl LJ got a gym membership. Even odder, I'm suuuuuper excited to go to the gym. There are so many things I want to learn, and I really want to just become a stronger individually both mentally and physically. I'm excited to schedule some gym time in the coming months of freedom. 

Time // Now that I don't have a set class schedule, I'm finding remembering my obligations to be difficult. My planner (though I love it) is a little too big for me to be toting back and forth to work all the time, and I've been looking at a filofax just to keep my affairs in order. Let me know if you have any tips to keeping your life managed! 

Carryall // I'm on the hunt for a new bag to bring with me to the gym. I'm honestly tired of just carrying all of my stuff every single time I go, and I feel like getting a decent gym bag might not be the worst thing I can do. I've been juggling with a few brands and styles, but I'm still not sure. I love the lululemon ones, but I just don't know if I can justify spending that much on a bag that's going to hold sweaty clothes and dirty shoes...thoughts? 

Go go go // Surprise, surprise, but I'm craving adventure. I really want to go back to Canada again, but I also want to go explore the west side of the state too. I'm hoping to have the time to go on some little weekend adventures in the coming warmer months! 

Tuesday Thoughts (?)

Hi friends! 

So sorry for not posting a Monday Musings- it was a jam packed day for me. But never fear, Tuesday Thoughts is my consolation for not being consistent yesterday. Let's hop to it, shall we?

me and my sweet friend han... also, would you belieb me if i said #nofilter?

Sorry // Justin Bieber was last night and oh.my.gosh. It was great. I've seen him multiple times before (#NoNewFans) and I was completely blown away by the show. For someone growing up in the Bieber Fever era, I was incredibly pleased that he stayed true to the evolutions he's made musically while also performing some throw backs. I can't thank my girl Han enough times for this wonderful gift- spending the night with her before my last final was an absolute treat! 

Merch // Just a fun memory, but we skipped every single merch line last night and headed straight to concessions. Between being hangry and seeing wayyy too many people my sister's age wearing almost no clothing, fueling up was our #1 priority before screaming singing the night away. 

 Summer // Summer is here! I literally just took my last exam (I got a 91% if you were curious) and I can now say that I'm on summer break. Let the adventures begin, am I right? To see what I hope to be up to this summer, check out my previous post! 

Cambria // I've recently been getting back into really watching YouTube again, and it should be no surprise when I say that Cambria Joy is my hands down favorite. I couldn't not give her a plug, especially with the videos she's posted recently. 

Runnin' // We are officially less than a week out from my 5K(s) and I'm ready to go. I've been shaking it up with my training recently, and doing a lot of things I haven't done in the past. Keep an eye out for a more detailed post about this on Friday! 

Take a hike... // My #1 summer goal is to go hiking. I really can't tell you what the appeal is to me all of a sudden, but I just really want to get some new perspective on the world around me (literally though, I want some new views). After finding several websites with what seem to be great hikes in the Mitten, I'm hopeful that I can cross this off my list of must-dos. 

That's all for me this Tuesday!
