secret garden..

In deep conversation with the tiger lilies, azaleas, dahlias, purple bells, succulents..

fledgling..

My mom found this sweet cutie baby robin on the floor in our back patio..there was nothing wrong with it..the fledgling looked healthy and it was hopping around..the best thing to do when you find a baby robin or any other baby birds is to not feed them, and gently place them back inside the nest..that is what we did, and the next day, the fledgling was with another fledgling hopping and flying a little in our yard..it was so great to see!!!!

Nature romps, wild dancing, late night gouda cheese sandwiches, double berry Greek yogurt muffins, jumping into puddles, blowing bubbles, a slice of keylime pie, napping, solitude..

hello from the outback..

We went to The Outback Aussie restaurant for a quick lunch on the outdoor patio..I had the best ever sweet potato fries!! I wish the portion would've been more.  And me and mom shared yummy mango lime cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory..mom was surprised that they didn't have coffee except decaf which was actually pretty tasty! Then while we were waiting for our food to arrive, a giant T-Rex went by..so cool!!!

The Botannical Gardens was quite small compared to how it used to look with all those pretty floral arches, now there were only a few rosebeds, giant pink lillies were really amazing! 

Went into several shops but we were shocked at same merchandise at sky high prices! Hardly shopped at all..mostly got orange chocolate fudge, cotton candy, a bag of licorice fudge balls..

Me and mom were so upset to see how much garbage had been thrown into the swamp area, in the water, in flower beds, and nature!!! Why are humans using nature as a garbage dump?? It's terrible!!! And how kids are scaring the wild life, and scaring birds..its heartbreaking!! Anyways, it was a lovely day to walk for miles and miles since our parking was way further back from the Falls, but it wasn't scorching hot outside, so that was good! Mostly spent the time in nature, and in shops just browsing..

thistle fantasia..

Thistle love, tarot readings in the shade, living on McDee's caramel sundae nearly every day, listening to outdoor jazzy bands, skateboarding with friends, playing with a cute chihuahua, learning to play Carol Albert's Sunshine Yellow on the piano..

apartment..uhuh..uhuh..

Yeah..I cannot get enough of this song!! Been singing it like around everywhere..

havin' a snooze..

It's been such a harsh humid hot summer that Marley sleeps on the top of the coffee table..

boho chic closet..

I colour co-ordinated all my clothes to make it look much neater and I got rid of a lot of my overly too bright clothing and I prefer more nature earthy tones now..I did keep a few colourful clothing, mostly the ones I got at boutiques or ordered online..

gorillas in the mist..

A fun trip to Homesense and finding these amazing gorilla pot holders..I didn't end up getting them..I usually love their book section, but there was nothing that caught my eye this time..picked up two gold candlesticks and a gold bowl (all made in India)..very boho chic! Stopped off at Starbucks for birthday cake pop and matcha latte..first day that it wasn't sticky hot!!

boho chic room tour..

I have reorganized and minimalized my room..I wanted more space, less mess, less knick-knacks, less colour..I am going for a more earthy boho with a few retro elements..I've brought in a few posh boho pieces..the two pillows (flower & aqua sequin butterflies) are from Homesense, the tree of life woven tapestry is from 10,000 Villages..I still have to get a new mirror (I loved the bamboo mirror in Bouclair), I've added storage boxes on the top shelf in my closet, so that it looks a lot cleaner and put-together..and I've put up two retro 1960s fashion prints on my wall..I've also changed the vase on my makeup table from a cheap thrifted item to an expensive earthy tone vase from Homesense, changed the basket under my night table (not a fan of the wiring mess underneath (I have to figure that out)..and I've minimized my jewelry hanging behind my door..I think my room is starting to look more of what I've been envisioning in my mind for quite some time now..its still in progress..
