I'm writing this post from a coffee shop in Nelson!

I'm home for a week, and I couldn't be happier.
Coming home lets me relax and also focus on work in a way that I haven't been able to achieve in Vancouver. A week of siblings' birthday and school plays, the spa, homework, Mamma-cooked meals, early nights, and good old-fashioned time with family. A good balance, and a nice little breather before I go back to Vancouver for the last crazy week of school and then Kate and I are off to ... MEXICO.

It's happening!! After negotiating dates, endlessly searching for the best flights (i.e. cheapest with the shortest travel time), finding accommodation on Airbnb, and figuring out transport in Canada and Mexico, Kate and I are finally set for our first sister vacation!

I am very excited to relax and unplug for TEN DAYS. Oh baby, we are going to have a blast. I haven't decided if i'll be bringing a camera or just snapping pictures with my phone- either way I'll be sharing stories after we're back. And again, if anyone has tips for what to do/see in Cancun and Tulum, please share in the comments!!

Care package 3.2

I am thankful for a lot of things in my life, the biggest would be my "network". The family and friends who are closest to me, who love and support me, and who show my how to live my life to the fullest.

I often take this network for granted, but when i receive something as full of love and personal attention as a care package, i have to stop and appreciate my situation.

Over the past three years Georgia has been sending me little (actually, often large) packages stuffed full of things that I've treasured: the latest package was delivered to Quest the day I was moving out.

Yes, most of that chocolate is gone.

I put this de-odor-cream on my feet this morning, we'll see how they smell tonight! I have high hopes that it'll be a wonder cream, my blundstones are beginning to smell a little funky. So far, i love the packaging and the smell is nice.

UPDATE: after walking around and traveling a bit today, my feet smell amazing! I saw the same product, but a different scent, on Kate's shelf (also c/o G) and I'm going to have to try that one tomorrow morning. I like it a lot as well, i love citrus scents.

Again, thank you Georgia for the thoughtful packages, and thank you to all who love and support me!

*G, if you don't want me writing about my next package, lemme know and i wont!*
