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!

Forget Daft Punk, Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez. Willie Nelson has been on heavy repeat on my summer 2013 playlist.

No word of a lie, it's "On the Road Again" is on my 25 Most Played soundtrack.

Over the last eight months especially, I have had the opportunity to travel and visit, work or take part in a plethora of events across Canada. 

There was a period between February and May I was en route somewhere ever three weeks. In anticipation of each trip, I pulled my favourite red suitcase out of the back of my closet and left it next to my dresser. It reminded me of a small dog waiting by the door to go outside for a walk - my suitcase was begging to be taken out and shown the country. 

This little bag got it's wish - between weekend getaways, weddings, moving, dance opportunities and so much more, I've been a bit of a nomad living out of it. 

A few people have asked how I do it (luckily, I can sleep well in moving vehicles), so I thought it would be fun to share a few of my tips and secrets that help get me from A to B smoothly. 

• GREYHOUND CANADA - I have taken the Greyhound Bus more times than I can count to visit friends, family and my favourite place in the world, New York City. The express buses have outlets, WiFi, so I can work while en route. TIP: Buy your ticket online for significant savings 

• HYDRATION - It's important to stay hydrated all the time, but even more so when you're on the move. I always make sure to have a water bottle on me to keep my refreshed and avoid headaches. TIP: Bring a reusable water bottle with you on to the airport and fill it up post-security. You'll avoid the expensive plastic bottles and can refill anytime

• GET OUTFITTED - Whether I'm heading in to somewhere with sand or snow, I have a travel uniform that has always worked. The trick is to cover either your arms or your legs. For winter, it's long pants with a tank top, and summertime is short with a long-sleeve shirt. This way, you can moderate your temperature with layers. TIP: Always have a scarf/pashmina and sunglasses in your bag. Perfect to wrap around and cover your eyes while catching some zzz's.
