Be right back, I’m upgrading everything in my life

On a hot summer’s day I am looking forward to everything I am excited for this year. I am grateful for the lessons the first half of 2024 has offered, and for the reminder that I have earned the upgrades in life that I have at times denied myself. I’m making quite the grandiose statement, but if I’m being honest, as of late I think it’s important to acknowledge how far I have come in life and of the things I deserve.

So let’s talk about some of the upgrades I’ve been working on and towards in hopes that it helps to remind you that you deserve to do things for yourself and with yourself more as well.

Trying to find my sparkle again

Two weeks ago I shared a post on social media about how I had noticed in some of the photos of myself recently, the sparkle in my eyes was gone. It has taken me two full weeks to be brave enough to sit down and go into a bit more detail. Not in the emotionally-driven-tell-all-hurt-and-sad-Daniel way I have made the mistake of being in the past. That’s unfair to people in and around my life and comes from some deep dark traumas and pain.

I wanted to share about it more because I think I’ve been avoiding putting reality into words, because that makes it all a little more real.

Here’s what I’ll be sipping all summer long

It’s been a little while since I sat down to chat with you my beautiful friend. Life has gotten busy and with lots on my proverbial plate, I thought it was time to switch gears to focus on what’s in my glass instead. This summer I’m focusing my attention on those beautiful moments life has in store for me, the people who make an effort, and the simple things that I can take joy from.

The perfect addition to any home has arrived

While I sit down to write this blog post, I find myself glancing around this house in Ottawa. With a goal of moving back home to Toronto in motion (albeit slower than I would like) I am of course doing my best to celebrate the place I currently live by keeping it organized and tidy.

With Mother’s Day now celebrated, it is once again the time of year where I want to clean out the closet, reorganize the office and kitchen, and keep things tidy. We all know by now that I am a huge fan of all things Dyson – I still am hoping to get a Dyson Purifier Big+Quiet of my own this year and an upgrade to my current Dyson vacuum if possible – I recently was told about the newest product from Dyson that is (in my opinion) the perfect addition to any home.
