It seems like I’m rarely writing about all the goals I have to complete this year, and yet my 101 in 1,001 and 23 Before 23 are patiently waiting to have numbers crossed off. Today’s post is about #13 on the 23 Before 23 and #17 on the 101 in 1,001! 2 in 1, woo [...]
I can’t believe it’s already the last day of 2011. Saying that this year has flown by would be an understatement for sure, but at the same time it feels like forever ago since I celebrated the end of 2010. What could I possibly say about this year in just one single blog post? I [...]
Yesterday I headed downtown with Jenia because I won a meet & greet with The New Cities. We made a lot of jokes about it because we honestly didn’t NEED to win- we’ve met the Montreal band dozens of times- but now that they’re getting bigger and more well known, we thought why not? Let’s [...]
Today officially marks my one month return home from Greece, otherwise known as the trip that changed my perspective on travelling. I thought I’d wrap up all my Greece posts with this last one that I’ve been thinking about for a little while, and share with you the things I don’t miss at all about [...]

Dear 18 year-old Melissa, Hey there it’s me, 22 year old you. How are you doing today? I won’t lie, I don’t remember in the least what you were up to at this time 4 years ago, but I hope that whatever it is you are happy in this moment. That’s all we ever really [...]
Sidenote: I’ve got a new blog background! It’s a new WordPress theme, but when I saw it I immediately loved the bright colors. I usually prefer simple themes that I won’t get tired of, but I couldn’t pass this one up. So until I get my blog re-designed (maybe in the fall?) I think this [...]
There are certain things in your room (or house) that say a lot about who you are. Your purse, your bookshelf, your computer, Caitlin’s post that sparked my idea, your fridge! The things you carry around with you and use to decorate the rooms in your house say more about you as a person than [...]
