Back when I was a kid, my dad's idea of teaching me how to ride a two-wheeler bike for the first time was shoving me down a hill, armed with my helmet and knee pads. Bruises, cuts, bleeding, imagine how scary that was for me. Thankfully I survived. Looking back, I injured myself quite often, but luckily never to the point of breaking or fracturing a bone. When I cut the back of my hand on a door hinge and bled profusely until I thought I was going to die, my mom put a Band-Aid on it, exclaimed it was no big deal and will one day see it become a battle scar. Instead of creating an imaginary safety bubble around the little silly me, they taught me that by falling, I can learn to get back up again. |

Duchess Bake Shop
I'm a food enthusiast. Actually, to be more specific, I'm a dessert enthusiast because I'm painstakingly picky about what I eat. But when it comes down to the sweet stuff, serve it up on a gold dish because that's just how I like it. A few years ago I was introduced to what I now call my favourite 'sweet escapade', Duchess Bake Shop, a whimsical, drool-worthy, money-pinching bakery done right. You see that chandelier hanging over there? Yes, it's as hipster as it sounds. If you think that chandelier is something, wait until you see what's inside.

To The Lady Picking Her Nose
Sitting behind a computer all day, my job cannot get any more lackluster, thank goodness. If my fantasy life became a reality, a normal work day in my sparkly high heels would involve multiple kiss scenes with the smoldering Chris Evans (must I say that was a hard verdict; it was a toss up between him, Ryan Reynolds... and another handful more), fly to France for a photo shoot with Vogue Paris, and a red carpet premiere hanging off of Ryan Gosling's arm. However, it is what it is, and I'm not any closer to becoming the next Scarlett Johansson than the person across from me--aloha, kind gentleman on his iPhone! So it's fair to say I have a lot of time on my hands at work if I can day dream about my life in a parallel universe.
