Folk Fest 2013
This weekend I got to go to the Folk Fest! It's a music festival at Jericho Beach in Vancouver that takes place every summer. I've been a few times but I think this year was definitely my favourite. In previous years it's been a family affair with mom, dad, Zoe, my aunt and my uncle. But this year it was just me and my aunt and my uncle. I loved it! I don't see them very often so it was great to get to spend a whole day with them! There was a ton of great food, amazing vendors selling all sorts of different stuff and absolutely fantabulous music playing all day long! By far, one of the best days of my summer!
Mumford & Sons
^^ cutest proposal ever! ^^
Last night I went to my first concert of the summer and what a way to start it all off! Mumford & Sons is definitely very high up on my list of awesome bands. They've got great lyrics, sound amazing live and put on a great show! What more could you ask for!
Next up for me is T. Swizzle - known to most of the world as Taylor Swift. It was a Christmas gift to my sister for us to go to her concert together and I am very much looking forward to it!
Happy weekending!
not so secret garden
Today is supposedly the last nice day for awhile so I spent some time outside with my momma!
Hope everyone gets to spend some time with their moms this mother's day weekend!
a weekend for the books
This weekend was the best weekend I've had in a long time. The weather was absolutely spectacular and I got so much done!
I started the weekend off by painting my room on Friday night and spending some time with some friends. Saturday consisted of putting my freshly painted room back in order, basking in the sun in the backyard and having friends for dinner. Sunday I washed and cleaned my car, went to a few nurseries with my mom and spent some more time in the sun. Together, our family went down to the beach to enjoy the sunset and get gelato from the best place on the beach!
Home.
I'm home! And have been for quite some time now.. Life has gotten relatively busy and I'm ok with that! Within the first couple days of being home I became employed and have been working at an insurance company for two weeks. The work itself is pretty boring but it's all to support the cause... Europe 2013!!
Hope you're having a good summer so far and are able to enjoy all the sunshine!
Finals Mix
Life has made me pretty unproductive on this thing but I'm trying...
I've been studying for finals the last couple weeks and have cooped up inside with books and my laptop for days and days and days. The only thing getting me through (aside from food) is the music I've been listening to. I don't really listen to stuff with lyrics while I'm studying but when I take my breaks I need to be energized and pumped up!
This mix pretty much sums up how I feel at all different times of the day while I'm studying for my finals!
1. Phosphorescent: Ride On/Right On. This song rocks. It's fun, upbeat and a great pick-me-up
2. Capital Cities: Safe and Sound. I'm not a huge fan of electronic-y stuff but this is an exception.
3. Icona Pop: I Love It. I'm pretty sure I was the last one to hear about this song...
4. Devendra Banhart: Golden Girls. This song is pretty mellow and chill and good for unwinding.
5. Joy Formidable: Whirring. It's got a toe-tapping beat and the chick has a cool voice.
6. Cold War Kids: Miracle Mile. Kind of reminds me of the Killers. I like.
7. Jets Overhead: Boredom and Joy. An awesome Victoria band with an awesome song.
8. Rhye: Woman. This entire album is so relaxing. It is the only one with lyrics that I will listen to while studying.
Finals Week
Last weekend I was home for a combination of Easter Weekend and my mom's birthday. It was gorgeous the whole time and I spent much of it outside!
Now I am back at school studying for finals inside while the rain is pouring outside my window.
Hope y'all have a good weekend and that the weather isn't gettin ya down!
Birthday Bike
This weekend, along with being Easter weekend (chocolate and jelly beansssss!) is also my mom's birthday! In honour of the anniversary of my mother's birth we usually do something as a family. For the past couple of years this has been taking a ride around the beautiful sea wall! Last year mom got a beautiful cruiser and named it Clementine. Since her bike is the nicest, we strap it to the back of the car and the rest of us rent! The weather is beautiful and the scenery can't be beat. Today, we finished off the day with dinner in Gastown and I ended my day with a nasty reaction to all the cheese in my dinner... Oh the price we pay for good food.
