This blogpost is for the days when you feel a bit helpless, when you need a reminder to keep going and when you're looking for ways to continue persevering ❤️

Ernesto Gaita thank you so much for being a huge inspiration for this piece, and for being a reminder to never give up. You make Toronto the creative, lively and motivating city that it is.

For the days when you don’t feel like you. When the house you’ve grown up in for 22 years is at stake because of your dad’s previous business mistakes/ his untrustworthy business partner, it’s kind…

The Downtown Appeal is heading to New Zealand! 💕🇳🇿 I'm beyond excited to be embarking on a new journey across the world, one that is immersed in education, adventure, culture and new experiences. I can't wait to share what I see and do with all of you. Immerse yourself in every single thing possible, step out of your comfort zone and live passionately.
Here are a few of my travel essentials .... You already know Drake is coming with me.

Thank you for teaching me to live my life to the fullest, to live it with colour, to live it with creativity, to live it with boldness and to live it with an endless amount of good vibes and good times. I am so glad to be alive in the same time period as you, and to have met a soul like yours. Happy birthday Sharina Baheerathan - you are my partner in crime, the love of my life, and my best friend. 🌸💕

Be vulnerable in all aspects of your life. Reach out to new people. Let that person you romantically like, know. Travel to places you've always wanted to go. Embrace that fear, acknowledge it but don't let it consume you. Push past it. Life is too short, and we never know when it can escape us. Live your life with boldness and colour. Don't just sit back and just watch 🌸

It's so important to step out of your comfort zone, even if it's in the smallest ways 🌸💕 I always tend to stick to the same beauty products, however I'm excited to try out NARS Cosmetics' tinted moisturizer and FentyBeauty's latest line of products. I can't wait to share my thoughts on them, stay tuned for a blogpost.

Happy Friday 🌸 This week has been a rough one, both emotionally and physically. I've learned that it is so important to take care of your well-being before anything else. Getting caught up with work at the expense of your health is not worth it. Oftentimes I get immensely overwhelmed with university, and I struggle with balancing my social life and workload. The self-doubts begin to creep in and I feel as though I'm not working fast enough, or hard enough. I begin to question if I'm capable of accomplishing what I have set out to do.

It is in these moments that you must surround yourself with individuals that encourage you with positivity. Take time out of your day for yourself and treat yourself. It's so easy to think that taking breaks will hinder your productivity (it's something I struggle with every single day). However, these breaks are necessary in order to persevere- and they truly serve as a reminder to enjoy life.

Trust the process, and enjoy the process. 🌸

Rainy days are my favourite for lounging, hanging out with friends, sipping on chai tea and getting creative work done. Remember that it is always important to take breaks, and unwind. 🌸 c/o with Sharina Baheerathan

This weekend I told myself I would take a mini-social media break. I put my phone on airplane mode for most of the long-weekend and really just tried to unwind. It reminded me of how important it is to live in the moment, and to be where my feet are. I did this because I've just been feeling low and overwhelmed. My mind is going a mile a minute and my heart is being pulled in so many different directions. I have found that the best way to uplift my spirits is to surround myself with friends that exude positive vibes and to be in an environment of creativity. Thank you Julia Ranney and Lavelle for a great brunch 🌸

Around the same time last year, I had the opportunity to travel to the beautiful city of London. It was my first time ever travelling across the world alone, and it was perhaps one of the most eye opening experiences I've ever had so far in my life. There's something about travelling alone that makes you feel so alive. I can't wait to share more about my experience in my full blogpost - Stay tuned🌸
