It dumped snowed a couple of days ago, and the temperature dropped dramatically with it. But I actually love it it when it snows! It’s so beautiful outside and makes you want to cozy up by the fire and have some hot chocolate! Although, we tried to start a fire last night, and there was so much snow on the roof that the fire went out instantly with all the melting snow falling… hopefully that will change.

The one thing I don’t like about the cold weather is all I crave is cold weather foods… heavy foods, fatty foods, comfort foods, all that good stuff. So I’m in the process of finding new recipes that I can make that are good for you and comforting at the same time. Yesterday, I had this AMAZING spicy black bean soup from Earls that was delicious! I found a Vegan recipe online that I’m going to try: http://www.thenovicechefblog.com/2011/09/spicy-black-bean-soup/

If anyone is looking for great recipes, I’ve recently join Pinterest.com and there are great recipes on there! As well as crafting ideas, fashion, books, music, and anything in between. If anyone has any healthy-comforting recipes, feel free to pass them along!

Over Christmas and New Years, my boyfriend and I went to BC to visit friends and family. We had such a great trip, that when the real New Years came around, it was hard to try and get back on track (goals, fitness, eating right, etc.) before our vacation was actually over. 

We arrived back home on Wednesday night and got hit with reality right away; work, being sick, and an endless “To Do” list. I treated yesterday like a typical New Years Day; except instead of being hungover, I was exhausted and trying to keep my head afloat!

Today already looks brighter and I can’t wait to see what 2012 has to offer! 

Ok, so I know I might be a little late on this, but I was recently introduced to the books and I’m totally hooked! While I was in California, my boyfriend’s family had a copy of The Hunger Games at their house. I took it to the beach with me and read the first chapter… well, I had to go and buy my own copy as soon as I got home and now I’m onto book two.

Sometimes it’s hard for me to get into a book. It’s hit or miss. A lot of the time I’ll read a book, get about half way through, and then have no desire to finish it. I love reading, but only if I really love what I’m reading. I can’t seem to just do it for the sake of reading something. But I haven’t been this excited about a book series since Harry Potter! And now I’m really excited about the movie coming out next year!

Also, as a performer, whenever I watch a tv show, a movie, read a book/script, or even look at an ad campaign, I usually think if I’d want to play a role like the one I’m watching or reading about. Does anyone else do this??? As an actress, it would be incredible to play Katniss Everdeen. And by watching the movie trailer, they’ve picked a great actress to do the job (Jennifer Lawrence). But realistically, I would never be cast as someone like Katniss. First of all, I’m much too tall. In The Hunger Games, I would most likely be cast as one of the Careers, or even the stylists from the Capitol that wear bright, crazy clothes.

Now, I’ll go back to reading….

I’ve learnt that in the entertainment world it’s important to stay connected and informed, and my new additions do just that. I also bought a very cute owl pillow from Pier 1 yesterday (named him Hooter, hehe) and he makes me smile… But the iPad makes me feel much more cool

Now to test out some Christmas baking!
