Girlie, those are your organs.

This is also a reminder to future me who can be so critical of myself sometimes: don’t talk about my friend that way.

One thing I think makes me good at what I do? I’m a boots-on-the-ground kind of person. People often ask how I know about so many small local brands—and the answer is simple. I go to a lot of markets.

When I first moved to Vancouver, I started blogging about the brands I’d discover at craft fairs and pop-ups. What’s so special about markets is that when you buy from a small maker, the person you’re talking to is usually the person who made it.

That’s why public events matter. Sure, I get hundreds of press releases a week—but some of the best finds are the ones that aren’t backed by PR. They’re just passionate people putting their work out there.

I’m a busty girl who lives for a sundress and loves supporting Canadian fashion—so I had to see if @parkandfifthco’s new Palma cotton collection could keep up with the girls 👀 I tried on a few styles (all in XL to fit a 34DDD, except the Sylvia, which I grabbed in a L) to find out if these breezy, beautiful dresses are actually bust-friendly.

POV: You stumble into the @issuesmagshop pop-up at @alteriordesign and leave with a stack of indie mags.

Picked up @eatenmag, @itsfreezinginla, @slanted_publishers, and @magazine.b—proof that print still hits different.

I’m lacing up with @brooksrunningca to get ready for West Coast SHRED @city_shred—a 2-HOUR HIIT challenge going down at the Richmond Oval on June 1 👊

The Glycerin 22s have me feeling unstoppable: soft, powerful, and made to move.

Want to try a pair yourself? Join Brooks at the Oval to demo the Ghost 17s during the workout—and you might just WIN your own 👟

Even though my feelings constantly get hurt, I know I got this.

Note: this is a relationship that ended well over a decade ago; I have processed and have dealt with all of those big feelings. Because he’s someone who continues to exist in the world, I hope for the sake of the other women he has dated (or will date) he’s a better man now.

Last year, I ran Just the Half. This year, I’m here For the Long Run—on the sidelines, lungs full of cheers instead of kilometres.

While I’ve fallen out of running lately, I haven’t fallen out of the community. @runasyouare continues to be the most encouraging, heart-filled crew, and I’m endlessly grateful to be part of it.

To quote @nick_l_o : “If you’re not running, you’re cheering.” So this year, I’m proudly repping the cheer squad and paying it forward—because I still remember how much your voices carried me through every painful, glorious step last year.

Thank you for making room for all kinds of pace.
