Don’t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

Summer Scents... In the Fall!

There is a Bath and Body Works right across the street from my work constantly taunting me every single day to come in and splurge on delicious smelling lotions, candles and fragrances.

Well, yesterday, I finally gave in!

I walked in with the intention of buying some fall scented candles, but came out with a bag full of summer mini lotions and fragrance sprays instead!

These bad boys were on sale 3 for $10 and I figured they would make awesome gifts for friends and family when I visit Asia in December.

I personally think they are the perfect size, especially since I can never finish the full sized ones. I think I still have a full sized fragrance from a line that came out nearly two years ago!

Buying the mini ones is a great way to try out all of your favourite scents without breaking the bank and being wasteful.

Since I will be giving all of these away to friends and family.. I think I'll go back to B&BW and grab myself a few fall items!

Oh Monday's...

Let's get real. Who in the world loves Mondays?

I sure didn't. 

For a long time I dreaded Mondays.

For me, Monday's meant having to wake up early and 

commuting on a crowded bus for the next 5 days.

It meant having to deal with other grumpy people who were just as unhappy as I was about Mondays.

I dreaded Mondays until I realized it was just like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and even Saturday and Sunday (the best days of the week). 

They all come every week. And they will keep coming (and going) forever.

It is out of our control.

Our attitudes about it, however, we can control.

About a year ago I decided I was going to change my attitude towards many things in my life.

One of which included my attitude on early mornings and especially on Mondays.

I wanted to make it more enjoyable. 

Something to look forward to rather than dread.

From then on, every Monday morning, I would sit down and take the time to make and enjoy a nice breakfast. Like, REALLY sit down for a good 20-30 minutes and have a real nice breakfast before my morning commute.

Taking the time to sit and enjoy a nice breakfast on a Monday is a great way to start off the week.

It has helped me refocus my attitude on the positives in my life rather than the things I cannot control.

Here is my lovely breakfast on this beautiful Monday morning!

Two scrambled eggs with a side of sliced oranges, rice cake 
muffins and a cup of hot tea with a little bit of milk.
And of course, catching up on some news (and blogs) on the iPad.

Happy Monday!

So I've decided...

I'm going to play around with this blog a little until I figure out exactly what my "niche" is.

My posts will mainly be about my life, personal opinions and general interests. 

Hopefully it will reach someone who finds it interesting enough to read (fingers crossed)!

Here we go...

My first blog post ever. 

What to write about? 

I don't even know. 

Be right back.
