A poetic, visual piece of my reality living with Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. This piece is real, and raw, and has been clawing to get out for some time now. In working to capture the true essence of what's within my mind on any given day, I had to strip away the layers - [...]
Probably. It seems like everyone is offended by everything these days. Luckily (or maybe unluckily) for you, I'm referring to cis-gendered, thin, white, able-bodied women who are currently getting all kinds of up-in-arms over what's going on in the #BodyPositive community right now. Shit, that's you? Well, listen up, friend. I was with you, too...for [...]
As someone who deals extensively with depression and anxiety on a daily basis, constantly being around people can be a really big hindrance to my recovery. It's incredibly draining to always be around that much stressed out, negative energy. On this #SelfCareSunday, I'm sharing with you an adventure I took yesterday and how being out [...]
I got a letter in the mail today. One that I was super anxious about receiving, that I busted my ass off for two years working towards, that I was praying would carry the answer I was longing for. It didn't. I was hoping against everything to start my Bachelor of Nursing in September. Today, [...]
**TRIGGER WARNER: Self-Harm, Self-Harm Scars** Disclaimer: I have received full permission to post my thoughts, and these photos. Loren, I love you ❤ This is the why.

I did another thing. That seems to be a theme...doing the things. I've really been digging having fun "fashion coloured" hair, and when it came time to visit my salon again, I started thinking about switching it up and what I could do. I really love the pink, I do, but there are SO MANY [...]
So... I did a thing. It's a thing that's needed to happen for a while now, I just hadn't realized. If you've followed along with me so far, then you may have noticed something... different. Something changed. Something gone from where it's been for the last 4 years. That something is the absence of "The Wardrobe [...]
DISCLAIMER: There is strong language used in this post. #SorryNotSorry for it. I'm fed up. I started this blog primarily as a fashion blog. To essentially play dress up with my favourite outfits and share them all with you. I've always been complimented for my sense of style, so it's been fun to share my [...]
Hello! I have the most exciting news!!! As most of you know by now, I've opened up quite a bit over the last couple of years about my personal struggles with Mental Illness. A huge catalyst of being able to do so has been Wear Your Label - an extraordinary, rapidly growing, Canadian company that [...]
Hi Marshmallows! It's one of my favourite days of the year Just a few years ago, I would have had a very different reaction for this day (hint: it wouldn't have been excitement...). I would have done everything I could to spend the day like a hermit and avoid conversing at all costs. It's [...]
