maaay.

In the wise words of JT - it's going to be Maaaaaaay. 

Over the last 3 years, May has always been a month of surprises, work, travel and change for me. In 2013, I was in Vancouver for a hot minute and it convinced me to sell everything I owned and move! 

These past few weeks have been nothing short of lovely. Busy, especially with producing my first show with The Lovers Cabaret and teaching more than ever, but all good. 

Here are a few of my favourite shots from my travels (all taken on iPhone!) 

Fresh blooms in my neighbourhood.

Night at Kits Beach.

Volunteering and cheering on the babes at the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival. 

A roomie date night at Ballet BC. 

Is this place even real? Stumbled upon Paradise Cove in Malibu, CA.

My friend's Malibu home - I call it "The Secret Garden"

Views from above. Zuma Beach.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky. North Hollywood. 

Pin-up's and palm trees en route to the dance studio. 

Mantras at Movement Lifestyle Dance Studio. 

A killer weekend working with Galen Hooks one-on-one in Los Angeles!

This is my favourite time of the year.

Boots have been tucked away. It's light until 9:30PM. Afternoon meetings turn into evening hangouts and then into late night drinks. Bare legs are the standard fashion, along with a denim jacket. 

Summer is so close, we can almost taste it. 

This is my first year as an entrepreneur / going out on my own for work, and I hope I can still take advantage of these warm weather opportunities...and a little blogging time, of course! My apologies for being a touch m.i.a. The seeds I planted awhile ago are starting to bloom, and I gotta take time to water them.

But alas, here is my Top 5 for May:  

Flash Tattoos. 

I want these all over my body, all the time. 

My good friend Karoline returned from Hawaii about a month ago with a plethora of them in her pockets, and our group of friends has proceeded to slap them on at every social gathering. They're just temporary tattoos, but the metallic shine makes them that much cooler. 

PS their Instagram is killer. (@flashtattoos)

Age of Electronica. 

We have LED costumes that will respond to the music. Just sayin'. 

June 6&7 in Vancouver, B.C. Tickets available here. 

Salt. 

If you can't find me this summer, I'm likely at their Kits location having a $15 wine flight on the patio. 

BANKS. 

So excited to see this babe perform live next weekend. Favourite track: "Waiting Game". 

Bestie. 

My main gal is off to Europe for six weeks! I'm thrilled to follow her adventures and live vicariously through her social media posts. Have a blast Alicia! 

Have a lovely long weekend.

luxurious.

'Tis the season for bright days and chilly evenings. I'm planning on fully taking advantage of these last days before the winter weather is upon us. 

On the menu for the next few weeks: 

- Apple picking 

- Visit a pumpkin patch 

- Visit the Richmond Night Market one more time 

- Discover more Kitsilano restaurants (and munch outside!) 

- Bike through Stanley Park
