bronze.

When I grow up, I want to be Canadian women's soccer captain Christine Sinclair.

After the emotional roller coaster on the soccer field this week, how incredible was the Canadian comeback this morning?

In case you didn't see it live (or online) the Canadian women's soccer team has won the Olympic bronze medal against France on Day 12, 1-0. They won the game in the last 30 seconds with a goal by Diana Matheson.

What a way to start the day! I love following these girls on Twitter and can't wait to hear what their reactions are on the social scene.

Also, if you haven't seen this video made by the team at the start of the Olympics, you're missing out. This fully supports why I want to be friends with these ladies.

Congrats on your bronze Team Canada - celebrate big tonight!

Pretty incredible day at for Canadians in the Olympics.

To give some perspective, Canada didn't even win a medal until day eight in 2008. On day eight in 2012, we have won 10 medals.

Pretty cool to get to work at the broadcasting network the day Canada wins their first gold of the Games (you go Rosie MacLennan!) and also swimmer Michael Phelps last Olympic race ever.

I'm soaking this all in - feeling thankful, happy and blessed to be along for this ride.

As well, I'm trying to soak in some of my favourite summer essentials on this faux-long weekend.

Every free moment I get between my jobs will be spent in a bathing suit, outside and sipping on something lovely.

Thank you to so many for your support, it means the world to me. See you on the other side of London 2012!

Here we are, entering the last month of this long, hot summer.

Welcome August 2012.

It's just the beginning of August, but it's almost Christmas time. Not literally - but the September issues are about to hit the stands, which is pretty darn close to a holiday.

I've always been a fan of Victoria Beckham, especially her hairstyle choices. When I was in grade 12 of high school, I took a leap of faith and whacked all my hair off into a "pob" just before prom, graduation, etc.

The result? I've been a short hair girl ever since.

Thus, I'm loving that she's gracing the September issue of Glamour Magazine, and also served as an editor for fall fashion picks. Check out a few snapshots of her spread below:




After the Olympics are finished, I'll be catching up on my homework; trying to read as many September issues as I can.

Have a beautiful Thursday and remember to keep the Canadians in your thoughts today. Our medal count is going up, starting with a silver in women's eight this morning. Only more to come!

"And then the dreams break into a million tiny pieces.

The dream dies.

Which leaves you with a choice: you can settle for reality.

Or you can go off, like a fool, and dream another dream."
