I finally did It, What I got for Christmas

I've been going back and forth for a long time about creating a video blog. More specifically a youtube channel that was far more personal than my main channel. I'd done a bit of vlogging in the past and I stepped down from it. I was getting bullied online and it really sucked. I really wasn't in the best headspace at the time. However I finally did it, I made my personal youtube.

I decided to start with a Christmas Haul video for 2015, not that I wanted to Brag. I just really liked the Christmas Haul videos other Youtubers have posted over the years. I think my favourites are the one's done by Jim Chapman, he's brilliant. Here is his 2015 Birthmas Haul video, Yeah he's one of those poor blokes who hope we remember his December Birthday. I'm super thankful for the things I received this past Christmas, but more importantly I created wonderful memories with my family and friends over the Holidays.



My Upload Schedule I'm working with is a New Video every Friday.

My Fall Essentials

Well hello, I know, I'm still alive and I'm sorry for being so quiet as of late. The college circuit keeps me busy.  Digital Video Production is an awesome program, I've got some courses that are proving a challenge this semester. I'm however maintaining a strong GPA. I'm hoping to bring up a few of my marks over the last few weeks of the semester to really round out my average. I'd love to stay at a 90% average for my grades, however I will be content with a 4.0 average to retain my spot on the college honour roll, and keep myself in the running to finish another program on the President's List.

We can definitely say autumn is in the air, and we're rolling into winter.  Well today it was unseasonably warm and registering at 20 celsius. I literally went outside to warm-up because it was colder in class. However I thought I'd share my 5 fall essentials. 

1.  It's fall, and it's great time for layers. I'm a layers guy. I can always take-off what I got, but I can't put on what I don't.  This year I've taken a liking to having a nice woven flannel shirt. 

2.  Convertibles,  yes it's an essential. I don't mean the car, that won't be a reality until I'm making good bank and not on a college budget. I'm talk about Glove Mittens. I'm in a video program and that involves both video/ photography and my hands can get pretty cold. These let me keep my hand mostly warm while freeing my fingers to work with the camera. Then when I'm on the go and not actively taking photos they convert into mittens. 

3.  A good travel mug, I like to take a hot chocolate on the go in the morning. I have to leave before the sun is up some mornings and it's nice to have my drink still be warm by the time I get on the bus. I'm not a coffee or tea guy. It's just never been my thing. 

4.  Halls: I'm not even joking your peers will start dropping like flies, and eventually you'll catch that itch in your throat, and the cough'll kick in. There is just something about that fall air. I always have Halls Extra Strong Drops on me. Sometimes for my own relief and often times to give one to the person sitting close to me who needs it.

5. Agenda: I may go large chunks of the school year without touching my agenda. However semesters are often back weighted, it's the end of the semester where all the final projects are due and all the exams are licking at my heels like hell fire. This is around the time, I need to start writing things down and keeping it all in check and not just relying on my memory.

I hope you enjoy these fall essentials.  What are some of yours? 

2015 Summer Essentials 4 Guys & Girls

I always see blogs that are specifically aimed at young women when it comes to topics like fashion, decore. I want to try something different. A blog post that works for both! These are my top summer essentials for guys and girls. I am not a spokesmen for any of these brands.

Guys Button- Down: Aeropostale

Button Downs - A crisp button down is a must have for guys and girls. They can easily be dressed down for late night beach party and dressed up for fancier occasions. They're a versatile piece.

Girls Aviators: Aeropostale

Sunglasses -  Your eyes are important, you might as protect them and be stylish. They can be a great little pop for any ensemble. You pick a style that works for you, something that has you turning your head and going. I look Hot. These ones are from Aeropostale.

Dark Wash Jeans: Aeropostale

Dark Wash Jeans-  Everybody knows jeans are a staple of any season. However it's summer and I'm calling dark wash jeans because of their versatility and parability. A dark pair of jeans can once more be dressed up with a sport coact or blazer and be sophisticated, and the next second be matched with your favourite band-t for those summer music festivals.

24oz Waterbottles: PbTeen

Water bottle- Staying hydrated on those trips to the beach, amusement park or whatever your young heart desires it's import. You might as well have an awesome bottle that reflects your style, that you can use time and again. I think these Pottery Barn Teen are awesome. They also offer them in Camoflauge, Houndstooth, and an unusual geometric design as well.

Library Card - I know it seems kind of silly, but summer is the perfect time to read a good book that you actually want and choose to read. Sure their are eReaders, and iPads to read form. However their is something about reading an actual book outside. You don't loose the screen in the suns gare. Looking through a library, you'll even come across books that catch your eye that you might not have thought about before.


All of these are great things, but the best thing you'll ever need for any summer is imagination and a thirst for adventure. Go out, try new things, learn a new skill, and make some new friends. Create memories that'll last far longer than physical items.
