Summer Days

The joys of having a DSLR - taking multiple pictures, realizing your 16GB memory card is completely full, taking a century to upload RAW photos onto your computer, keeping ones you like, deleting ones you don't like, and deciding which ones to edit for your blog/tumblr. I love my DSLR!

I realized I have shifted my beauty blog to more of a photo blog, but I hope for those who still read my blog will understand. I still love anything beauty related and will occasionally blog about beauty, but my love at the moment is photography. Sharing and remembering beautiful moments :)

Torontonians, were you experiencing the heat wave last week?! Dontei keeping cool ;)

Down by Danforth, Greektown for Summerlicious and took a free-hand shot of this building. Beautiful huh?

At Turtle Jacks for a Sunday lunch. I think this was a summer special - turkey, and apple dijon...something weird like that. I like weird. Tasted like an apple pie sandwich bahaha.

FRIDAY TOMORROW! Hello long weekend.

Applewood Farm Winery

Here comes another weekend!! Last weekend my boyfriend and I decided to waste gas and cruise around the outskirts of town to find some spots to take pictures and we ended up at Applewood Farm Winery. Here are my favourites from the day :)

I love my leather/diamond/fabric mix bracelets I bought last year from AE. I've been trying to find some friendship bracelets to go into the mix!

I started a "10 things" post a while ago which encompasses my random 10 thoughts at the moment. Let's try this again.

1. The weeks just keep flying by. I remember thinking about my new years resolution for 2011, and now its the middle of July?! UM...what were my resolutions anyways?!?!

2. I just started keeping track of my spendings, so hopefully in a few months time I can get in-check with my expenses and start saving up for my dream house. And a dream car. And a dream puppy...

3. I'm so excited for Harry Potter tomorrow at the IMAX theatre!

4. Discovered dark chocolate covered blueberries from Costco and they are heavenly.

5. Don't you wish life was simpler sometimes?

6. I have Casualty of Love - Jessie J stuck in my head.

7. I just purchased an epilator from eBay, hopefully no more shaving!! Bahaha.

8. I really want this THEIT The Bossi Bag for my DSLR, is it Christmas yet?

9. I'm dying to go to the Toronto Zoo to visit the penguins!

10. On the topic of cute animals. Cutest. Artic. Foxes. Ever. One blue and one brown eye, so darn amazing.

I hope everything has a superfantabulous weekend!

Port Credit

Last week I discovered this beautiful little place called Port Credit in Mississauga. It always amazes me that places like this exist in Ontario. We might not have tropical palm trees, white sand beaches, or pyramids; but everything I really need is right here. I always feel fortunate that my parents decided to settle here in Canada 23 years ago :)

The water was actually blue teal :) I love going to small inner city parks but I've noticed the maintenance of the water in these parks are just so so poor. The ducks and swans are literally swimming and living in thick muck. People are also feeding the ducks which I did do when I was a child, but learned quickly this actually harms them because it's not part of their normal diet and they just don't know when they are full!

The town there was so quaint and there was also a natural organic health food store nearby stocked with natural beauty products that I got really giddy about :D This was a random pit stop but I wish I could've stayed, lay out a blanket, and read a book there for the whole day. It's nice to get away from traffic, work, and high rise buildings once in a while!

Anyways, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!
