Well, today my phone finally kicked the bucket! It got thrown across my room by someone who was not me way back in October and the screen smashed. It still worked and I have just been holding on to it! It was my first iPhone purchased almost exactly three years ago. It has held SIM cards from Malta, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the US and Canada in it and has been attached to my hand for a ...
Friday Favourites
Here are a few things I have really been loving this week! 1. Lush Lotion My face gets really dry in the winter and makes me crazy! This year it has seemed worse than before, but I typically use coconut oil to remove my makeup/wash my face; so I thought that if I just applied extra throughout the day my skin improve. One day last week, I reapplied coconut oil TEN TIMES throughout the ...
Friends Like Stars
I am an introvert. When I was little, I remember getting into a lot of trouble because I wouldn't say hi back to people when they said hi to me. I remember out right refusing to do things in front of others and dropping out of speech events at school because I was so terrified. Thanks to my parents forcing me (honestly, I am grateful they did!), I got better at being in front of people and even ...
Workout Wednesday
The past two days I've gone to the gym at night. I DON'T LIKE IT. There are so many people there all watching each other, chatting to their friends, and being loud! This week, if I want to go to the gym it has to happen at night, but next week I am going to be back to the 5AM thing where there are usually only two other people there! (Plus, when you go really early you can basically roll out of ...
In all honesty
My name, Allison, means "little truthful one," and I tend to live up to my name. I probably should work on lying a little better because I usually show the truth on my face even if I'm attempting not to. I would be a clothing store's worst employee because I wouldn't be able to tell everyone how amazing they look in anything they tried on. (I hate stores like that, don't you? I mean, I can ...
I’M THROWING IT OUTSIDE
Many months ago, my computer randomly shut off and decided to not turn back on. I eventually got it started again, but it didn't seem to want to stay on. I basically gave up on it and I've just been sharing with Anson. Sharing has been fine until Anson left for a work trip (to Florida which means I am completely jealous & grumpy). He selfishly took his computer with him which has left me ...

Friday Favourites
1. Leggings My sister loves leggings, but I never really owned any until this past week. Because I'm home most of the time, I have the choice of either putting on jeans or sweatpants. Obviously, sweatpants win over jeans for comfort, but they're seriously hideous! Cab (my sister's nickname) told me to go get some leggings at Forever 21 since they're so cheap, so I did! I've worn them everyday ...
Thursday Thoughts
My word for the year is COURAGE. I've been reading different quotes about it, little stories and thoughts that others have. There are so many aspects that it is seems impossible to fully embrace them all in an attempt to be more courageous. When I read the quote above I feel like I am pulled in two directions. In many ways I'm not afraid of change. We moved across the ocean to a tiny island ...
Workout Wednesday
I have this bad habit where I workout for a few months and then stop everything completely for a few months. It basically ensures that I never actually get into shape. NOT THIS YEAR! This is what I did this past week! Wednesday: Les Mills Combat video at home Thursday: I went and joined Planet Fitness. They're new to Canada and you seriously can't beat the price of $10 a month. (I know that ...
