When the Birds Sing...

"When the leaves dance, and a new wind blows; when the birds sing, and a new song is composed; when deep within the rivers of my soul I begin to hear the approaching sea, I pause and bask in sweet unity. I cannot bear but to see the unshakeable connection to everything around me." - Jennifer Williamson - 

Earthy Bohemian Room

Finally finished my room and I love it a lot!! It's got a bohemian/tropical jungle vibe..the side of the wall on the left is sunflower paint colour which I did last year and I couldn't find the right paint again when I did the longer wall so I used Banff Sun which I thought was the closest but not really, so it became more of an ombre effect which is really cool!! I took off a lot of things from the wall and just kept the Indian dish and the new celestial painting I recently did..i tried to minimize colours as much as possible..i wanted more tropical earthy..just for added colours I have this 70s square crocheted throw I thrifted a while ago..i like that my bedroom is less cluttered and more clean looking and smarter organized!

On the right side corner from my bed, I have my bamboo/wicker drawers I've had for a long while.
Close-up of what I keep on top of my drawers..beaded box with a sea turtle plushie, lotus flower tealight holder, a really cool bamboo jewelry holder, very Moroccan from a cute little Indian shop, a Buddha statue that says "Abundance" in Chinese lettering, and my faux cactus plant from Pier1..and on top of the corner I have my celestial glow-in-the-dark moon/sun, moon dream catcher, and an Indian pillow..My side table is from Ikea..i put it together myself, two new wicker baskets I recently thrifted, the only thing I hate is my round white lamp..the light is way too bright and it just doesn't go with my bohemian theme..I used a kitchen cabinet marble paper to glue over the horrible red that was on my corkboard and I love how it turned out!! it was so easy to do!!

I wanted to really minimize what I put on my new corkboard..just kept it simple with only 3 of my fav. postcards, and some keychains, and earthy buttons..i kept my yin-yang wall décor..

My chair is from Pier1, it was my mom's and she gave it to me coz it fit my room décor better, I put my new elephant pillow on it..

On left side of desk, I have all my faux monster plants since I cannot get real ones where I live!, and top of my desk near my laptop, I have my real plants, I tried to minimize what I have on my desk and it wasn't easy..


And last thing I reorganized my vanity table..this I had for years from Pier1..again I tried to minimize everything and I like it a lot better..I will do my closet tour another time..

Sunglass Collection

Organized my sunglasses..i got rid of most of them..i had about 35 or more..i only kept the ones I really love a lot..like the heart shaped ones remind me of what Anna Paquin wore in "Almost Famous"..but mine are coffee tint..retro blue ones are from Black Market in Toronto, huge 70s style ones are from Aldo's, round tortoise shell belonged to my Grandma, she had these in the 70s, white rectangular ones are from the 1960s and I got these in Toronto years ago, pink with black polka dots are from Ardene's, blue tinted Harry Potter sunnies are from Montreal, clear with white rimmed retro style with roses on sides..i have no idea?? pink framed heart shaped sunnies from Ardene's or Claire's..can't remember?, celestial round hippie sunnies from an outdoor hippie festival, purple tinted retro sunnies from flea market, huge round yellow tinted hippie sunnies from Aldo's, and two clear round rimmed John Lennon style sunnies from Forever 21.

Mini Haul + Mr. Marley + Vegan Food

Had a blast thrifting in Goodwill yesterday..got a cute boho elephant print wrap around skirt..made in Thailand..
Then I found this groovy playsuit with elephant print..this was my fav. find of the day!! The brand is Magazine made in Bangladesh..
This cute boho wicker basket..i love picking these things up, its great for storage!! I've got cds in this one..and two winter hats..a grey knitted with pink detailing beret and an earthy one, brand Polar Extreme..
Can't say enough about this wonderful kitty..Mister Marley loves playing inside the happy box..he also loves shoelaces and brings them to me so that I will play with him..he thinks he's a dog!
And two of my fav. health foods lately..homemade strawberry salad with mushrooms, cucumbers and Italian dressing and vegan pizza with cashew butter on top..it might not look too good but it tastes amazing!!

Buddha Quote

I have been organizing my room and getting rid of so many stuff..mostly brightly coloured things for reasons that I really don't want to get into..i wanted to tone things down so that people won't get the wrong idea of who I am..umm..yeah..I've noticed other girls who used to be into hippie stuff, like tie-dye and bright colours in their rooms have also changed into more subtle earthy tones, perhaps they had the same problems as I did! Anyways, be true to yourself and be who you are..I love boys/men and its always been like that and there is nothing wrong with that! So yeah..i'm getting rid of a lot of questionable stuff which I didn't even realize that I had..but being a hippie girl I tend to gravitate towards colours, but I decided to be more earthy bohemian. I will post pics soon when I have completed the room transformation..

I Am A Cloud...

"I am a cloud.. I move all day I can't stop I get tired a lot I want to stop But I can't I move with my friend We never leave each other I get puffy and soft as a pillow Sometimes i'm as skinny as a bedsheet When the wind blows I feel like a cradle rocking back and forth I change from bunnies to elephants Slowly Before I disappear behind the mountain.." - boisemontessori - 

Sombreros + Churros

Had a super groovy time at the Chili Agave..all the food was free coz I had a $50 card..first time trying this Mexican restaurant and it was fun!! There were two b-days being celebrated..lots of people at long tables in the back where everyone had to wear a sombrero..there were stacks of it at our table so I put one on too..Food unfortunately was disappointing and the prices too! Although everything was free, I still thought that $18.00 for only 3 tacos was expensive!! The soft taco itself smelled funny and didn't taste good at all..the refried beans was the best part, the chicken didn't taste like freshly made, it was like those store bought stuff that you get at the grocers..the churros were the best I've ever had!!!! OMG, they were soo good!!!! I loved the Boho exotic décor inside the place and the giant cactus..the star shaped lightings, crosses, and of course the sun and moon pieces on the walls!

Sweet the Rain's New Fall...

Spending time at a secret garden during Canada Day was relaxing and fun seeing so much floral magic everywhere like a Van Gogh painting!!

Hugging my favorite willow tree..
A sea of yellow..
Discovering Harry Potter secret chocolate and the card it came with..Salazar Slytherin..which is groovy coz i'm a fan of the Slytherins!!
