The Little Extras...

This blog originally started as a way for me to share some stories and adventures related to my photography, and it most definitely is, but I'm excited to announce a new addition to the posts. Without further adieu, I bring you, "The Little Extras..." During the last week, my friend's Lexy and Jed were in Vancouver and stayed at my place for a few nights. For once in all of their visits, it wasn't raining. I've been trying to reignite the flame for Vancouver lately, and this certainly helped. Over dinner one night, we somehow got on the subject of self-pampering, or the "#treatyoself Movement", as I like to call it. What started as a conversation about the Backjoy (which is a post for a later date) turned into a new idea for blog posts and a video-series encompassing various forms of self-care, relaxation techniques, bathing rituals, and how indulging on food and treats is hella worth it. We came up with the name "The Little Extras." So, for my inaugural post on the topic, I'm going to talk about a few things I did last weekend. I got my tax return back, and while I won't indulge the amount, I will say that I had enough left over to do a few things I wanted to get done and haven't. On March 15 of this year, I have been living in my condo for seven years. In all of that time, I had not washed the carpets. Yes. I know. We'll just leave it at that. If you've ever been to my house, you know that I keep it as spotless as possible. For some reason, the carpets just seemed to get ignored despite me knowing they needed a shampoo. So with a strong latte and the Rug Doctor, I set to work.

I didn't have the space to keep the furniture off the wet carpets, so I put wax paper underneath the contact points on the carpet. The clean smell that overpowered my condo was mesmerizing. When I first moved to Vancouver, I was given a set of knives to aid in my culinary endeavours. In the 13 years that I've been in Vancouver, I have never once sharpened my knives. This was Mission #2.

I took my blades into the House of Knives and dropped them off to be sharpened. At a risk of embarrassing myself, I know what a lot of you might be thinking. Yes, it took me that long. The next day I picked up my knives, and I couldn't wait to get home to use them. 

That's where tonight's post comes in: here I sit in the tub, eating a steak, watching Homeland, and reporting that the knives work just fine. Sometimes things we do for ourselves can seem selfish or unwarranted. I'm here to tell you that that is complete bullshit. Something as mundane as sharpening my knives has made cooking much more enjoyable. The clean carpets still smell fresh, and that combined with my innate ability to keep things clean adds to the joys of staying at home. And of course, the bath with bath bomb. I put a ban on myself a couple years ago to Lush bath bombs, only because I was spending a lot of money on my Sunday retreat. But, I've allowed myself to indulge every once in awhile. After all, it's the little extras that make everything alright... Read the full article

It's the little extras that set us apart. It's the boot covers worn by our tradespeople to protect your floors, it's the extra care taken when working around your appliances and furniture, it's the vacuuming of floors once we've finished works. It's the respect we show to our customers and to their property. #gcplumbingco #goldcoastplumber #goldcoastplumbers #plumbingandgas #maintenanceplumbers #thelittleextras #lookingafterourcustomers

As I checked out at @kismetobryonville this dainty ring caught my eye. Heart felt and simple, a reflection of what “Love” really is✨ #rings #accessories #thelittleextras #personalstyle #womensfashion #kismetobryonville #whatslove #cincygirlstyle

Stopped in Sephora and had enough points saved to score these fun enamel pins. Chić and stylish “follow your dreams and protect” necklaces from Nordstrom cause I love layering my accessories. And Dior gloss cause a full pout is a must💋 #thelittleextras #smallhaul #personalstyle #accessories #necklaces #enamelpins #cincygirlstyle #lipglosspoppin

It's ok if it doesn't match, as long as it coordinates. Mix colors and prints at home. My daughter can cook herself eggs and toast now so I wanted to get utensils to ergonomically fit her hand. Fun dish towels found on clearance at Anthropologie, microwaveable hand painted bowls, utensils, Indian fabric covered coasters, tiny cactus sachet holder all from HomeGoods. Antique style sponge holder and ceramic tea cylinder from Rose and Remington... #homeaccents #thelittleextras #prints #colorful #home #cincygirlstyle #fabfinds #art #bowls #personalstyle #interiorstyling #dishes #untensils #tea #homeaccessories #homesweethome
