C H A M P A G N E    B I R T H D A Y!

I am officially twenty-four years old. My old friend and I are both born on the 24th only I'm exactly nine months older. We use to say that twenty-four would be the best year. Keep in mind this is back when we were seven and eight years old. So lets toast to everyone who's born on the 24th day of the month. To everyone who still has that hopeful child inside of them. To all the people who are celebrating their champagne birthday and lastly to all the people starting something new. I'm one year older, moving, and I'm a snake in the year of the snake. Bring it on.


I had an amazing birthday filled with amazing people. I spent the majority of the day with my new found love Sara. We drove to my mommas, shared laughs and some delicious vegan walnut brownies with coffee strong enough to give you a heart attack. We shopped around the town I grew up in as a teenager. Sara bought me a dress that I'll later share on here as well as some adorable kitty socks! My mom got me a modern jacket thats wool and tweed. I really needed something warm that I can wear with leggings and Nike's when I'm at work. I have a large collection of vintage jackets so it slightly hurts my soul to cheat on those but I found one I can work with. PLUS, I'm going to add some black vintage buttons to it. Sneaky Sneaky.

S U N D A Y    F U N D A Y 

We've been spending Sundays quite casually as of late. Ben has a cold so we spent the majority of our time inside which wasn't too bad considering the on again off again downpours. We had a quick coffee date with Ben's Nanna Kate and our neighbour Mike (random, I know) I'm not actually certain but I don't believe there to be a family photo of the three of us. It's always either Cyrus and Ben or Ben and I. I'm pleased with how it turned out minus the fact that I had under 15 minutes to get ready and my hair was wet when we left the house. I'm learning to say fuck it to those things though and just roll with it because in the end, frizzy hair doesn't matter. At the end of the day the only thing that truly matters is the love that we share and the moments we gathered that day.

Friday 13th.
What has changed in the past month? We found out that our duplex unit was being sold and that we have to find a new place to live. I had mixed emotions but everything turned out positive for us. We were given a free month of rent and on top of that we are moving directly across the street into the house of our (my) dreams! We move in just under two weeks and I'll keep you updated with photos once we're situated. Two other new beginnings, one being that I coloured the ends of my hair red and eventually hope to end up blue. Secondly, Benjamin started his first year at elementary school!! Kindergarten is incredibly cute and he's made three friends in the first week.
