I bought a bike. If you follow me on Snap Chat (chloeroseinc) you will know what a struggle it was. But I mean, look how cute it is. And it brings you to the ice cream shop FAST. Need I say more?
Went strawberry picking!
It's okay to be afraid, but don't let it stop you.
On Snap Chat (chloeroseinc) - Cheese.
On Pinterest - I am inspired by French street style.
Thank you Melissa (@missmelbies) for teaching me the ways of Periscope. Can't. Get. Enough.
A day at the farm! This past weekend, I met up with my girlfriend Monika and her too-cute-for-words son, Cole and we spent the day picking our own strawberries. It was the perfect way to spend a sunny Monday--we worked on our tans, and got a good leg work out (you are essentially squatting the whole time you are picking!). Cole, being the most easy going baby around, was cool as cucumber sitting in the shade watching us get our sweat on. Many thanks to Monika for being on top of organizing our day trip (the strawberry season is apparently a short one), and for the encouragement to turn these beauties into jam--(post to come!).
A word to the wise, wear sunscreen and lots of it... and resist wearing a white top (Snap Chat: chloeroseinc).
We went to a farm in Caledon called Downey's, close to Monika's house, but for a list of farms in Durham Region, click here.
Sharp Objects, by Gillian Flynn: You guys!!! This book is capital letter CREEPY. Albeit I am not one to properly gauge the level of scary or creepy, as I tend to lean towards easily scared, but this was genuinely freaky. Reading this before bed was a challenge. However, I could not put the darn thing down. I thought I was clever in solving the mystery behind the mother early on, but I was happy for the curve ball in the end. A thriller based around a family of woman was a new and interesting perspective (Gillian Flynn certainly knows how to write a horrifying woman!). The depth of the main character, Camille, was key to making this book more than a typical small-town mystery novel. Her perspective and honest insecurities were captivating. I would definitely recommend this book to my girlfriends (and am glad my friend Michelle suggested it to me!). Would you agree?
Our next Bookmark is in line with The Social Chapter--"In the Unlikely Event," by beloved author, Judy Blume. Based on the true story of three plane crashes in three months in Elizabeth, New Jersey, I have read reviews that call this novel--her first aimed at adults in over 15 years--to be both gripping and moving. I can't wait to jump right into this one.
