Hi everyone, how was your NYE, New Year’s Day, and your first week back at work? I can’t believe we’re a week into 2017 already! I’m wearing a new wool sweater skirt that’s the perfect thickness for the arctic weather we’ve been having. I love my tote bag (present from Damon) and it fits all of my necessities for work (snacks, Tupperware, bananas, lotions, etc. lol). My olive-colored sweater is from J.Crew and it’s comfortable and goes with so many outfits. I find that it’s really flattering and quite slimming; I love the way it hangs.
Damon and I spent NYE at a friend’s house playing games and catching up. It was fun and low key and then we went home, ate some leftovers, and watched the Office. Our New Year’s Day was really great. I kicked it off by crying for approx. 2 hours straight. I took Damon to see Lion in the theatre and I cried so much my eyes got swollen. We walked to T&T (an Asian supermarket chain in Vancouver) afterwards in a post-crying daze and I wandered aimlessly in the frozen seafood section in a while. Damon bought a conch.
If you’re not familiar with it, Lion is a movie based on a true story about a little boy that gets lost on a train in India. Unable he find his way home, he eventually gets adopted by an Australian couple and moves to Australia. The movie is about his journey as an adult trying to find his way back to the Indian village he grew up in to find his family. It’s an incredible movie. It’s based on the memoir A Long Way Home, which I bought immediately after the movie. I’m half way through the book and so far, I’m happy to say that the movie is very true to the book. I highly recommend it (bring tissues) and if you’ve seen I would love to know what you think!
