"So stop waiting for Fridays,

and stop waiting for summers,

and stop waiting for someone to fall in love with you,

because those things will happen.

But in the meantime, enjoy right now"

top5.

It's been a hot minute since I've done a Top 5! The last couple months have been wild - but in the best of ways. New job, new projects, new show...I couldn't ask for more.

Before I head into a busy weekend, here are a few bits and pieces I've been dreamy about over the last bit.

Top 5 for March: 

Ranunculus flowers. 

Although peonies will hands down, always be my favourite flower. The ranunculus blooms have been sneaking into my heart over the last few weeks. 

Scarves. 

If money was no object, I'd be picking up one of these NYC-themed scarves to pair with a t-shirt and jeans on these early spring days. 

Laundry hacks. 

I've been taking a couple of these laundry hacks seriously, and they're making a difference! 

Dita von Teese. 

Next month I'll be heading to Portland to see the Queen of Tease perform. To say I'm excited is an understatement. 

Rose Quartz. 

A good friend gave me a piece of rose quartz last summer, and it's been by my bedside ever since. Although I don't consider myself spiritually connected to crystals, I do appreciate the messages and background information about what they mean. A few have come into my life for a few reasons, and are very, very special. 

Enjoy your Thursday night loves!

Oh New York. New York, NEW YORK.

I love you.

My trip out East was so needed, and absolutely the best for me. I saw colleagues, celebrated my birthday, witnessed a dear friend get married, lived in the middle of the Jays/Mets/Drake HLB/election high...and then went to explore and dance my face off in New York City.

Although I had moments when I questioned if I should be taking the time and money to do this trip, I'm so, so soooooo thrilled I bit the bullet to do it.

Part 2: I'm definitely heading back to NYC to audition for Company XIV. I'm addicted and in love with their work.

You can follow all my adventures on Instagram, but here are a few of my favourite moments from my trip. A must-do/see guide to NYC is coming soon!

My dearest friends at Shannon's wedding. 

The Six.

Teaching the Army of Sass Toronto Corporals with my OG dancers Meghan + Sam.

Manhattan owns #FlowersFriday. Hands down. 

Upper West Side - Alee + Tyson's apartment.

My fave people at the MET. 

Casually trucking around NYC with my friend Dallas (who's also from Vancouver!)

Since high school - my best friend Alee. 

Shake Shack is the food of Gods. Yes, this was breakfast one day. 

Got totally lost in Central Park. No complaints. 

Being a #basic pin-up in SoHo. 

vidi.

Kiss me hard before you go. Summer time sadness. 

I just wanted you to know. 

That baby, you're the best. 

Soak up those last summer days my friends.
