I found this orange romper on a children’s website and decided to take the gamble in hopes I could fit into it. When it arrived, it was actually several sizes off for me so I took the whole thing apart completely and spent 10 hours altering it to fit properly. I learned a very important lesson from this- which is that I hate sewing and I need to avoid it at all costs 😂 📸 Photo by @ishkhanghazarian
We lost our Dawn. She was my best friend. I’m grateful I got to hold her while we said goodbye, I promised her I would be there till the end and I got to keep my promise. I want to tell you about the first time I knew Dawn and I belonged together. Immigrating to a new country is a difficult and expensive process. When we finally got our approval in 2016 we moved Dawn & May here to Canada first, in November, and Niko was due to follow two months later, in January. We could not afford to spend Christmas together, and since I had the girls I couldn’t travel to go visit family. It was my first Christmas all alone. I think when you spend a major holiday alone you have to make a decision- try to make merry all by yourself, or pretend it’s not happening at all. I went with the latter. I ate a regular meal and watched tv. If I could convince myself it was just a regular day I could get through it. But when midnight came and brought us to the 25th, I found myself sobbing, the kind of cry that makes you think you’re going to explode. Dawn got up and climbed onto my chest, one paw on each of my shoulder blades, staring me right in the face. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry” I said to her. I couldn’t make myself calm down. I had never had a pet before and didn’t want to scare her. But she didn’t move. She stayed with her eyes locked on mine for as long as it took for me to start breathing normally again. Then she settled on my chest and we fell asleep. That was almost 6 years ago. And she slept on my chest every single night since. Dawn was the kind of cat who ran to the door to greet us when we got home. She befriended everyone- the favourite of every maintenance man. If I called her name, she would come running. And if she called for me, I’d get up and come see her no matter what I was doing. My friends would laugh when I would do this but Dawn and I had a mutual understanding- if I need you, please find me. It’s devastating, and in a weird way it makes complete sense that they would both pass so close to each other. They were adopted together as kittens and had never been apart their entire lives. Where one went, the other would follow. I need you, I need you. Please find me.

stay dead and out of this world ⚰️ very inspired by vintage cereal boxes at the moment!! Especially the ones that come out at Halloween. I have a lot of strong childhood memories involving sitting at the table eating my cereal and studying the activity section on the back of the box. #whatwedointheshadows . . prints are available here ☺️ albinwonderland.threadless.com
new nail set I spent waaaaay too much time on.. but it was fun!! These are all @madam_glam polishes btw 💅I kind of fell out of the habit of documenting my manicures in photos but I’d like to get back into it. Around, I guess 2 years ago? Is that how long? I developed a severe allergy to gel polish. I was really upset!! Nail art is such a huge hobby for me and something I do for work (have to have nice nails for asmr videos) and bonding (all my friends would come over and I would do their nails). I did a lot of research and found out it’s very common for folks to randomly develop gel polish allergies even after many years of use. I tried all kinds of brands of gel polish that promised no allergic reactions- all totally a bust. I would still have very painful reactions, and I even have some scarring on certain fingers from it. BUT!!!!!!! I didn’t give up. Through my own experimenting I found out that I can do gel manicures on extensions or false nails, and then glue them to my fingers after the gel is completely set. I have no reactions from this! Especially if I wear gloves while painting. I wanted to share my experience in case any of you have this allergy as well. Hope you like these very 70’s groovy nails 🥰 #nailart

some good lady wife Nadjas from my sketchbook 🦇 I haven’t had a scanner since April and I kind of got to the point where I thought, hey, maybe I don’t need one after all. I’ve gotten along this far. Maybe I just don’t need a scanner… but then I caved and bought a new one and oh my god how could I ever think I could function without it! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to work purely digital. It’s too much fun to draw on real paper and scan it and add things in. #whatwedointheshadows #aftertheshadowsfanart
I got prescription sunglasses for the first time right before covid lockdown began so I barely ended up using them at all last year. Can I tell you, they’re such a game changer? Now I can see far away AND ward off the sun, so LOOK OUT

#ad Although they fog up my glasses a part of me has been enjoying wearing masks because of how much of my face was protected from the harsh air here in Toronto. I struggle so much with dry skin which is extra annoying if, like me, you’re also oily in other areas such as t-zone. My skincare history feels like it’s been a battle of trying to coax hydration into my forehead and chin without accidentally provoking a tantrum 😂 This can be made even more difficult when you add makeup to the mix which I do quite often since I’m regularly filming videos. Right now I’m absolutely loving the Water Bank line from @laneigeca, the Hydro Gel & Hydro Essence are absolute game changers. The Hydro gel is especially great for those of us with combination skin! The entire Water Bank line is available at @sephoracanada and thank god, I need all the moisture I can get. #speaksoftlywithlaneige
