4 Concerts Coming to Vancouver that You Need to See This Spring
I’ve just finished paying off debt (yessss!!), which means I have a bit more freedom to be thinking about some events I would like to go to. I really love concerts and these four events have sparked my curiosity, each for different reasons. They also aren’t ridiculous in price, so there’s a #GetThrifty bonus! 🙂

Afternoon Tea with the Blog Pod at the Secret Garden Tea House
I love tea. I particularly love having tea with friends. I’ve mentioned the Blog Pod that I belong to a few times; these ladies have become a lovely group to get together with.

One day, all ten of us will be in the same room, but for this day we had me, Karlie, Emily, Po On, Melissa,…

My 5 Favourite Memories of 2017
The days after Christmas and before New Year’s Eve are always a time for both reflection and looking ahead, and I am drafting this all cozied up in a beautiful cabin in Lund (BC not Sweden, but perhaps next time??), sitting on a comfy couch with my feet up, listening to the fireplace crackling and the rain pelting down outside. I’ve got a got a cup of tea and Vivaldi playing on my phone. The Brit is…

VanDusen Gardens Double Date (Collab with travelorlabout!)
My friend and fellow blogger, Orla (from travelorlabout.com and the blog pod I belong to) and I have been talking about doing some collab stuff and I thought this time of year would be the perfect. She and her guy, Jack, are away from their families this year (as is The Brit), and I wanted to make sure they had some Christmas cheer. So we bundled up earlier in December to brave the drizzle and had a hygge…
