Hello and happy 2014! I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a 2013 recap post, partly because I realized I didn't even get around to posting about some of my absolute new favourite products. The new year is a good opportunity to reflect on what I've done and what I want to do, but sometimes I feel a little depressed because some aspects of my life are not quite where I'd hoped they would be by now. But after thinking about it a little more and I remembered some of the things I've accomplished in the past year: I had the learning experience of a lifetime planning
Blog and the (Van)City, a fashion/beauty bloggers' mini-conference, with my amazing friends
Sheila and
MizzJ; my nail polish collection grew even bigger; I met more cool and talented Vancouver-based bloggers; I even taught a
nail art workshop. So I feel a bit more confident about facing 2014, and becoming a better person, friend, and blogger. Thank you for reading my blog and my ramblings.
