Things I’m loving:
I got to see Rupi Kaur when she came to Edmonton for a poetry reading. Besides being gorgeous (I still think about that coppery rose gold dress she wore!), she was utterly inspiring and her poetry broke my heart and mended it back together. I highly recommend you check out her works, if you haven’t already.
Secretly, between you and me, when people ask me what I dream about, it’s publishing my poetry. Seeing her in person was so inspiring and empowering and I really was propelled forward to work towards my goal.
If you ever get the chance to see her, or any other poet in person, I hope you do. It’s inspiring and beautiful to hear their works come alive.
Much love xoxo,
Annie

Things I’m Loving: Glico Caplico Stick Ice Cream Snacks
((What I’m not loving it the name. Dear Snack Gods, what a terrible name! (And reader, don’t even try to say that more than once. You might hurt yourself)).
Having found this in the snack aisle (which I think you and I both know is my favourite aisle) at my local store, I snagged a box because of a few reasons, 1) just look at that box and tell me you wouldn’t pounce, 2) they were on sale, 3) Glico is a trusted brand in my book, having tried more than I should of their snacks and loving each and all of them. Now, if you’re still not sold, reader, you may need to check your head because I’m pretty sure these will be the cutest and one of the best chocolate wafer snacks you’ll ever have.

The Master’s Sun Episode 1 & 2 Thoughts
Lately in K-drama land, it’s been Gumihos, revenge, melodramas, and Sageuk dramas. Now, I like a punch to the heart every so often but I’m choosy with my melodramas and I’m very choosy about my Gumihos. Mostly, I’m just not interested in how many tails you have, Ms. Fox. Or why you’re after revenge, which most likely will cost you your life at the end, Mr. Revenge. What I am interested in is horror…and romance…oh hell, throw in comedy and we’re call it a party.
So when I heard the Hong Sisters (The Greatest Love, You’re Beautiful, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho) had a new drama involving all three, of course I was excited. I’ve (for better and for worse) been a fan of the sisters for quite a while. It was around this time last year, when Gong Yoo was making his drama comeback in a drama penned by the sisters, that I was more than a little ecstatic. Okay, I was near hyperventilation excited and when I saw promos with him, I nearly fell off the bed. But then I found out that it involved some body-swapping and I tapped out. I don’t do body-swapping. At.all. To the point that if there’s anything related to body-swapping shenanigans, I will not even talk about the drama or acknowledge its existence. And my love for Gong-Yoo is strong and has been going strong for a few years but nothing compares to my intense dislike and disinterest that borders on table-flipping anger when body-swapping is involved.
But because of my (damn) love for Gong Yoo and the sisters, I kept an eye on the drama from afar and wasn’t surprised when the shenanigans turned into a party that in real life would be the one you throw that no one comes to, except your family (out of pity) and that one crazy relative of yours (yes, you know the one I’m talking about) starts dancing and tries to rope you into their descent into madness. No thanks, Uncle Cray-cray. I’m already a single, mid-twenties loner with no prospects, I have enough black marks against me to go Gangnam Style on the family gathering and ruin whatever threads of my image I’m hanging onto.
But I digress (as usual). That drama, which I will not name, kind of threw me for a loop. I was so excited for that drama that when I found out how big (haha, you see what I did there?…okay, sorry) of a catastrophe it was, it made me feel like I should never be excited for Christmas ever again. Melodramatic, me?
