5 of my Little Delights.

There are a few things I love in this world. Besides the obvious friends, family, and dog, I've always preferred the more simple things. That's what makes me happy.
The following is a short list of a few of my top picks thats always put a smile to my face.

1. TEA. Who can go wrong with a nice cup of tea to accompany them at any point 

throughout the day? A good cup is my favourite way to start and end the day. The familiar warmth is always sure to put a smile to my face in any situation and put me at ease. It's actually common for me brew a pot and sit down in my room and enjoy a couple of the following items on this list.

2. RANDOM CULTURE DOCUMENTARIES. Not just culture ones really, any documentary I   can find on Netflix really. I like learning new things, and it's that reason why I wish I could still be in school, I just don't want to be in any more debt. So I watch films late at night with a cup of tea and hope to learn something new that   may or may not be of any use. I might do another short list soon about some of my favourites. Lately I've been really interested in North Korea.

3. COOK BOOKS. If I were asked what one thing I collected was I would have to say cook books. The thing is I hardly ever use them for recipes, I just have them piled up in my room and like looking through them and thinking of cooking a few of the things inside, but never do. I have strict guidelines for the books I buy as well. I prefer them to have nice artwork and creative layouts and design. What's most important though is for every recipe to have a picture. 

4. MOVIE NIGHTS. I suppose this goes along with the second item on this list, and why not A cup of tea is always nice too. I love movies. I'm horrible at remembering titles and actors names. But I will always know that I like that one film with that one guy who does that thing to help that kid. You know the one?

5. PICTURE FRAMES. Totally random I know, but I love photos and prints and artwork. And I love collecting small frames from thrift stores and the like. I scatter them all throughout my room and love having them there holding little reminders of what makes me happy.

And we went down to the river.

Autumn is by far my favourite season, Winter being my second. The one downside to the season is the change of weather which is rapidly getting colder and the horrible cold I get every year (I have big sinuses...I'm sure some of you get this issue). Before I was bitten by this bug I took my little Oliver out on a little walk that I think I enjoyed more than him. Anyways...I took some pictures and felt like sharing.

Soundtrack Ben Caplan: In the time of great remembering

A great album by a local musician, I recommend you all check it out on iTunes.

Walks are probably one of my favourite things to do this time of year, whats yours?

I can see it in your eyes some things have lost their meaning

So finally the day had come, my best friend Katee and I were finally able to go do the things we've been waiting all year for a nice day for! 

So I showed up to the ferry terminal an hour early, and decided to enjoy the sun and walk around downtown while I waited for her to show up. It wasn't long until we hoped on the ferry and were in Halifax.

Our first stop was yeh! yogurt, originally from Quebec the delicious frozen chain has finally come to NS. For years I have been wanting to go to one of those cool self serve frozen yogurt places (kind of lame right) and the experience at yeh! did not disappoint. 

I got mango and NY cheesecake flavour, on top I chose strawberries, kiwi, mochi, peanuts. It was amazing and I will definitely be taking the trip across the harbour to go back.

After many tries of making macaron and only being successful once, I decided it was time to go out and find some in my city. I ended up finding this really cute french bakery online and we decided to check it out. They have six flavours of macaron available, and of course we got one of each!
My favourites were the White one: I think it might have been hazelnut, the green one: green tea flavoured, and the one on the bottom right that looks a little pink but I swear it was beige: which was toffee/caramel flavoured.

To end our night we got a bit hungry again (It was about 3 hours later) we decided to go to a korean BBQ place that we have been wanting to go to. Although looking at the lunch menu before heading in, we decided next time we will be in for lunch.

Before heading home we made a quick little stop into the mall. Look forward to a post about four of the things I bought.
