The four steps I took to get the perfect gift

I know, I know… I’ve been talking about my 40th birthday since what feels like January. And with it finally happening on October 17th, I’ve really been putting a lot of thought into what I want to get myself. A milestone birthday is a special occasion after all, and a pretty big one at that. So inspired by my own indecisiveness and finally realizing what I really wanted, I thought I’d share with you all the four steps I took to buy myself the perfect gift.

That Moment When I Realize I’m Almost Forty F*cking Years Old

Even writing those words feels simultaneously cathartic and strange. I think over the course of the pandemic and the past few years, I have been forced to stop and slow down in some capacities. I’ve made so many changes in the past year, let alone eight years, that I guess you could say that I’m kind of reeling from it all. In an effort to remind myself of my beauty and strength, as opposed to how I can often look at myself through a critical lens, I thought I would share thirty-eight reasons I’ll be smiling on my thirty-eighth birthday this year.

Gift Ideas For That Picky Libra In Your Life

For those of you who follow me on social media, you’ll have seen that I’m just slightly excited that it’s finally #LibraSeason. With the fall weather comes some of my favourite parts of life. Cable knit sweaters, beautiful coats, new denim, leather boots, pumpkin spice everything, apple crisp, soups, cozy date nights under a blanket with wine, changing leaves, cooler nights, and so much more….

Oh, and my birthday. ?

Life Isn’t Always Squad Goals & Happily Ever Afters… And That’s Okay.

Here we are. October 16th and I am on the eve of my thirty-sixth birthday. Back in the workforce during the day doing what I love in the marketing field, I find that I am having a bit more difficulty balancing things than I would care to admit. Thinking back on the last six years of blogging, being a “public figure” (for lack of better term) and trying to navigate this thing called life, I have learned a lot of lessons. Some with practice, and others the hard way, but either way they have helped me to become and grow into the man I am today.
