What I have been listening to...

YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS

The new season explores the life and accomplishments of Polly Platt, a woman I knew very little about but who has impacted movies, directors and the film industry for decades. As is so often the case, being a woman she didn’t get the recognition she deserved and this series explores all the movies she has touched over her time in Hollywood.   

What I have reading... 

I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO

This book was incredible. To see the world through James’ eyes is to see the pain and trauma that Black people have and still endure. This wasn’t a finished project by Baldwin, Raoul Peck stepped in and assembled his thoughts for this project into a manuscript for his movie. This book is a quick read, but SUPER insight and I highly recommend it.

What I have watching... 

PALM SPRINGS

If you need a light hearted and hilarious movie with a pinch of sci-fi added in, put this at the top of your list. It takes a look at what living without consequesnces would look like and that makes for some insane hijinx. The beau and I both enjoyed it, plus it is set in Palm Springs, which I am obsessed with!

What I have been doing...

COTTAGING, COTTAGING & COTTAGING

As Canadians we know how precious our summers are. You kind find myself and the whole fam jam at the cottage most weekends. July has been filled with reading, soaking up the sun, swimming, boating, water balloon fights and soccer. This place is my favourite and I love how much the kiddos love it! 

What I have been working on... 

MAKING FACE MASKS

From Day 1, my Accoutrement section has been about making items that use up scrap fabric. Nothing makes me happier than seeing fabric that most BIG companies would throw away being used up! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has bought a Face Mask, you not only are protecting your community, you are helping reduce waste too!
