The Williamsville Secondary School's Farmer's Market

I don't know what it is about these pop-up shops or markets, but I am so in love with them. A couple of months ago, I tagged along with one of my friends who was a vendor at the Green Market in Santa Cruz. Major shout out to www.instagram.com/paige__tt you're basically the reason I love these markets.

There's just this buzz of activity and a lot going on simultaneously. But it's not overwhelming - it's intoxicating. The music, the food, the people, the atmosphere - everything is just a vibe, to be honest. It's a great event for vendors and consumers alike to network and great for building brand awareness especially if you have a small business. 

The Williamsville Secondary School held their first Farmer's Market and it was such an awesome event and very special as well as it was my mum's first time as a vendor!


Here are a couple of the vendors that I met:

Seasonal Dishes - this vendor sold flavoured pepper sauces, kuchela, kurma and juices. Find out more about them here: www.instagram.com/seasonaldishes

Dear Wanderlust, The Series Continues

" Travel makes you modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world, " - Gustav Flaubert. Dear Wanderlust, The series continues....... Meet Kelsey and her beautiful daughter! Last time your eyes were glued to this blog, you read about a daring, young woman who gave her life wings and travelled all the way to Spain from a tiny speck on the world map, known as Trinidad. Now moving there on your own is a whole experience in itself, but what if you moved with your immediate family too? Would that make you feel less homesick with them there? Let's find out in this interview with Kelsey, who moved to Vietnam - from Trinidad -  with her family. Yes, you read that correctly. V I E T N A M. 1. Location: Q.

Tutorial: DIY Emoji Piñata

I made a piñata for a family event and decided I should share the process with you guys! So here's a quick guide on how to make a piñata for yourself!

You'll need: A pair of scissors Tape/ Glue Cardboard or any type of sturdy material for the piñata itself Treats/Goodies Tissue/Kite/Crepe Paper (any paper of your choice) Step 1: Prep Cut the cardboard into two circles and some strips for the sides.

Just Snap Out Of It

"What's on your mind?" That's the infamous Facebook prompter for users to update their status. But, what's really on your mind? Would Facebook - and all who follow you - really like to know what's on your mind? If you haven't guessed it already, this post is about mental health. I know, it's early in a New Year and this is a heavy topic but it must be talked about. My little random blog is probably not going to make such a drastic change in the world but i'll be sure to discuss real issues and somehow influence you guys in some way to feel comfortable enough to share your thoughts with someone. It's healthy - contrary to the way we were raised, right? In some way, speaking about how you felt was taboo. I remember my first panic attack. I was seventeen and in a classroom on my laptop. We didn't have a scheduled class at that time, so I think I was playing a game. All my classmates were in their worlds doing whatever and I just
