I have injured my feet multiple times and also have flat feet with no arches. Walking for long distances or walking to and from work, I need some good shoes to support my feet and I recently made the purchase of Asics Gel Kayano 32 to help with suppo...
GEL-KAYANO 32 Running Shoes from Asics
I recently wanted to purchase a really nice pair of flats that I could wear with really nice outfits and that wasn't your standard ballet flats. These t-bar leather ballet flats were a suprising find and I am so happy with this purchase. The size is ...
Surprising Shoe Find from 'AndOtherStories'!
At first, some people might not like these shoes, but when I've worn them, I've always gotten compliments on how fun they look and they are exactly that. The PUMA speedcat ballet flats are actually super comfy and have a heel grip which I love. I hav...
Best fun purchase of 2025 - PUMA Speedcat Ballet Cow Print Flats/Sneakers!
The Salewa Alp Trainer 2 Mid Gore-Tex women's hiking shoe was an investment before I moved abroad and I was not sure if it would pay off - and it totally did. Since my first move abroad was to Ireland, I wanted a good set of hiking shoes that would p...
This was an investment purchase - which honestly surprised me at how much I fell in love with these hiking boots!

If you are in Ireland or somewhere in Europe, my favourite fleece I've found so far is from OutsideIn. I bought a size small and do not take this off almost any winter rainy trip I take or even just on a day off to a coffee shop. My favourite part of...

I ADORE UNIQLO! For basic staples in your wardrobe, there is nothing like a UNIQLO staple item. I recently found these pants and purchased 3 separate colours to have options in my wardrobe. The one thing that sometimes is unfortunate about UNIQLO is ...
UNIQLO - a recent pants staple in my wardrobe
I needed an oversized blazer for a concert where I wanted something completely different to fit the vibe of the concert (a.k.a Mayhem Lady Gaga Tour!). I found Minga London website and ended up buying this blazer to use for my outfit - though this bl...
Minga London - new website on my radar
When I first moved to Ireland on my Holiday Visa, I heard about this local company and knew immediately I needed at least one top from them before the end of my stay in Ireland. I purchased the Vintage Navy Stamp one and love this to go over skirts o...

When I went to Edinburgh, Scotland, I treated myself to making my own Islander handbag and am so happy I decided to do the class. It was a short class and the options available depend on the day what is placed out, though for me having this bag is mo...
Different Souvenir from Edinburgh = Islander UK Handbags
You've probably heard of these bags and for good reason. I never go on any travel adventure or day out without this bag. You can keep it at the front of you at all times when travelling and in busy areas while storing so much. At one point when I was...
UNIQLO Round Shoulder Bag - you can literally never have too many of these
I bought the RAINS MSN bag to get me through the rainy Vancouver weather and then on my move to Ireland and when I say this bag has been through the ringer….it has been through the ringer and still is in great shape. I have had this backpack since 20...
Waterproof Backpacks....please give RAINS bags a chance!
I have two Samsonite suitcases - 1 large soft shell suitcase and 1 hard case carry on - and they have been through everything but have lasted through it all! I will never not buy a Samsonite piece of luggage because in my opinion they last so long especially when you take care of them yourself. You obviously cannot control what an airline does, but I've watched them throw my large suitcase from a height a...
Samsonite Suitcases are my absolute favourites!!!
My North Face Basin Backpack 18L is with me on literally every trip I take. Whether it's a hike, long day trip, or weekend trip on a plane as my carry on, this is my go to bag. It has two mesh water bottle pockets on the outside, back paneling for ve...

When I started Pilates and Reformer Pilates, I got a standard pair of grip socks but just kept thinking of the brand Elliosa for something fun and different. What made me actually purchase the socks was a friend of mine was moving abroad and she is a...

I got gifted the PANDORA bracelet with the owl graduation cap charm when I graduated from university and this bracelet has turned into my keepsake/memory/big moment bracelet. PANDORA in each country actually has specific charms to that country when y...
