Today Teddy turns 4 years old. I can’t believe time flies by so fast. It feels like not long ago that he entered our lives and changed it in ways we could never seem possible.
Recently, we celebrated his birthday with a homemade cake! Here are some more random photos of Teddy:
Last year during music festival season I got rained on a couple of times. While plastic bags and disposable ponchos saved me sort of they weren’t that good for keeping water out. By the end of the day, I was freezing. This year I decided I wouldn’t let that happen and so I bought a raincoat that was both functional and stylish.
I visited Raindrops at Yonge & Bloor which had a great assortment of jackets and rain accessories. I fell in love with the Helly Hansen Kirkwall coat in purple! It’s well fitted and has a tie around the waist. It’s also both wind and waterproof with a venting back. SO I AM TOTALLY READY FOR YOU RAIN. COME AT ME.
I bought myself a new camera backpack from Johansen Camera Bags. All the bags on their website are super cute and fashionable, just what I was looking for in a camera bag.
What I love most about it is that it doesn’t scream camera bag like some of the ones you see at Henry’s or Vistek. There’s even a section for a laptop that fits my Mac Air perfectly. Now I can look good while carrying all my precious gear on location.
Summer music festival season is starting soon and the biggest problem I always run into is my phone battery not lasting until the end of the day. As a social media person, this is a big no no. I decided to prepare this year and bought the cheero Power Plus from Photojojo. Whenever you order on their website, a dinosaur comes along with your package.
This battery pack contains up to 10400mAh. This is always a number you should be paying attention to whenever buying any sort of portable battery. My iPhone 5S is around 1900 mAh, which means this battery can power up to 10 iPhones when on a full charge.I tend to have a lot of friends that try to borrow my batteries (I had smaller power sticks in the past) so this can be super useful! It even has two USB slots so two people can charge their phone at the same time.It also comes with the charging cable (iPhone cables you must provide) and a little pouch.
It’s a bit bigger than a regular power stick and heavier than I thought but I will totally not regret it when I’m out of juice in a field.
The theme of this month’s beautiful Birchbox is Cupcakes and Cashmere, inspired by an Emily Schuman book. The box also focuses on organic products that can transform your moods.
Speaking of mood enhancing, there was a soap from Not Soap Radio that has “pheramone activation”. I used it in a bubble bath and it smells delightfully like berries.
This organic Stem Cellular Moisturiser from Juice Beauty is for firming the skin and hiding wrinkles.
Dr. Lipp’s original nipple balm for lips might have a slightly silly name but it uses a formula that was historically used by nursing mothers. It can be used as a lip balm or on dry elbows and cuticles.
Shaving is also a relaxing guilty pleasure and this shea butter shave cream from Whish smells delicious.
Lastly, there was the Expressionist Bio Extreme Mascara from W3LL PEOPLE that I’m super excited to try because I love mascaras! I have never used an organic one so I’m very interested to see how it holds up in daily wear.
I’m very happy with my May Birchbox and I will continue being a subscriber in June. It’s only $10.95 (+$4.95 shipping) and it’s like a lovely pick me up once a month.

I finally found the matching plate to my Mr Food Face in store! Again this wonderful invention is by Fred and Friends. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever. I’m just obsessed with their products and have been looking for them at my local Winners, Marshalls or random discount brand stores!
The major difference between the two is that Mrs Food Face has eye lashes. Now we can have adorable creations in both genders!
I couldn’t resist getting these awesome Adventure Time Dr. Martens. I believe they are Men’s sizes, so I sized down one when I bought one to a Size 6. There are three designs in total so far but I found this particular one the most practical, and somehow the least likely to clash with outfits.
Adventure Time teamed up with Dr. Martens for their “What do I stand for?” campaign. There’s a video for it on their official website that is adorable.
Apparently some of the designs only have around 1400 pairs worldwide. So these could be a totally exclusive and limited pair. Many of the adult sizes are already sold out in store and online.
I’ve been thinking about them since I saw the first announcement and I totally have no regrets about buying them!
As much as I love the ease of digital photography, I still love the feeling of holding a photograph so I printed some of my Instagram photos through Australian site, Origrami.
They were delivered rather quickly by mail (considering I live in Canada). The photos came in an adorable camera shaped box with a branded tag inside.
I ordered the Squareprintswhich were $22.95 AUD for 36 photos. The back of the photos had either a map (if a location was tagged) or a colourful camera logo along with your Instagram likes and comments. I really loved that idea as a backside since it provided a way to make my digital memories analog!
I added another item to my Fred and Friends family of products! Meet Mr. Tea. He is the most awesome tea infuser.
I just love his chillin’ smile.
He comes apart in two pieces and you can put tea in his pants.
As he swims in your water, it turns into tea!
I stumbled on food jewellery site Tiny Hands a while ago but I finally ordered my first piece. A chocolate cookie necklace!
It arrived after a week and a half in a beautifully packaged box.
All the jewellery on the website is handmade. They are also scented (unscented available too). It smells like a delicious baked good. Whenever I wear it, I get a waft of it every so often and it makes me crave cookies.
It’s definitely a unique addition to my accessories. Now I need to stop myself from ordering the entire site!
