Friday Roundup: October 14

Today’s Friday Roundup is just over two weeks from Halloween! Apparently my office goes big on Halloween, and I’m pretty excited to dress up and partake in activities. It’s also a stormy few days here in Vancouver, we are getting the tail end of a typhoon and it goes till Sunday here. So it’s definitely a Netflix and blog work weekend here for us! Movies, TV shows, blog work, DIY projects and laying around in my PJs all day.

Last weekend was Thanksgiving for us in Canada. We ate dinner at my nonna’s, went to Steveston with friends, watched movies and binged watched Halt and Catch Fire’s latest season. It was perfect.

I wrote up my editorial calendar till the new year and am pretty excited for what’s to come. But at the same time, scared and stressed about getting it all done haha. Also contacting brands I want to work with and when I’m completing all these DIY projects. Oh well, brought it on myself I guess.

With the weather being so chilly and well just plain ole shitty, I like to wear my coziest PJs, hang out under the covers and drink so much tea to keep myself warm. I’m also working on my weight loss (go me!), and squeeze in a workout each day at home, plus my training sessions and eating better. Anyone else try making bone broth at home? Any success?

What are you up to this weekend? Anyone else in Vancouver?
