Over the last few weeks, I’ve been a bit “out for the count”. I recently took on a exciting new job (which I can’t wait to tell you more about!) while still working the final weeks at my last job (well, current job until the end of the month), hurt my back, and now am struggling with a pretty nasty cold. To say it’s been busy, exciting, stressful, and uncomfortable would be an understatement! It’s been a funny mixture of emotions, but I am so excited for these next few weeks to come to a close and to get started on my new work and projects. vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, toby clothing, shoptobi , tobi clothing reviews, tobi fashion, tobi clothing canadavancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, toby clothing, shoptobi , tobi clothing reviews, tobi fashion, tobi clothing canada The biggest struggle lately has been my back. When I was 13, I had the Harrington rod surgery for scoliosis and since then spinal health and overall health has been very important in my life. It’s also meant that my back injures easier, and that taking care in picking exercises that support my spine and not hurt it is essential. But, since my schedule lately has gone up a level and has been so hectic, I foolishly also decided to step up my workout routines. I quickly realized that trying to compress my workouts to be as difficult as possible in as short of a time resulted in injuries – first a minor hand injury, and then my back.  Now, I can’t exercise at all and all I can do is try to get my back healthy and pain-free again. vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, toby clothing, shoptobi , tobi clothing reviews, tobi fashion, tobi clothing canada vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, toby clothing, shoptobi , tobi clothing reviews, tobi fashion, tobi clothing canada Since my life has felt a bit out of control lately, I have been in desperate need of things that make life a bit more simple. I’ve been tracking down quick and easy meal recipes (and really overusing my crockpot on Sundays to create meals for the week), and I’ve scaled back my weekly blog posts. But one thing that usually takes me a lot of time (and honestly, I usually love) is picking out my daily outfits. Being busy means spending 20+ minutes picking out pieces to wear just isn’t an option, and that means that lately I’ve been turning to pieces that require little thought and little matching. Rompers are the ultimate “no thought, no hassle” piece of clothing, and it’s why lately I’ve been turning to them so much. This Jenelai Blousy Romper combines all of my favourite things – comfort, style, ease, and my one of my favourite colours – soft mauve. vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, toby clothing, shoptobi , tobi clothing reviews, tobi fashion, tobi clothing canadavancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, toby clothing, shoptobi , tobi clothing reviews, tobi fashion, tobi clothing canada

    LOVE that color on you! And agreed, rompers are so easy to wear if you can find ones that fit you properly, as this one does!
    Ugh, that sucks about your back! Hopefully it heals quickly. I have a bad back (and knee) as well but I’m sure the back isn’t as bad as yours. Just all those years of gymnastics and a teeny bit of scoliosis catching up with me)

      I totally agree, finding the right fit for a romper is essential. I tend to like ones that float away from the body and feel a bit like PJs, but still manage to appear stylish. Tobi online has a ton of great rompers, I am obsessed with their clothing.

      Ah that is so brutal! A bad knee and a bad back? That’s terrible! That would be tough to deal with. My back is on the mend, but it’s always been an issue. The surgery definitely made it so certain parts are more susceptible to injury and inflammation.

    Bree I like the color of this romper, it is a lovely shade that suits you so well xox

    Congratulations on the new position, I can hardly wait to hear all about it, you sound so excited. 🙂

    I am sorry about your back, I know about getting injured an how it can bring you down, make sure not go back to exercising to quickly or you will just re-injure yourself… I did that and it to me so much longer to heal… as well it is taking me that much longer to get back on track… xox

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
