A Weekend In Toronto

Time for me to brag... A few weeks ago, my brother's hockey team made it the North American Finals. A big perk of being a hockey sister is getting to tag along to some pretty incredible places! So for MLK weekend, my whole family headed to Toronto, Canada. The three-day weekend was filled with lots of hockey games and a trip to Niagara Falls! No one in my family had been to Toronto before, and boy it did not disappoint; definitely one of the coolest cities I have ever been to. 

 One of my favorite parts of the trip was visiting the historic Distillery District. The original brick structure was converted to hold dozens of unique shops and restaurants. The shopping was incredible, but one of my favorite spots in the Distillery was Cluny Bistro (pictured above); such a cool atmosphere and the most authentic French food!

 Our frequent stops at Tim Hortons for donuts and coffee were another highlight of the trip. Not even ashamed to admit that we stopped there at least once a day! 

 Niagara Falls was simply stunning. If you can brave the freezing temperatures, I absolutely recommend visiting in the winter. During offseason, you basically have The Falls to yourself! Our quick trip to Toronto was so much fun! I am already dreaming of going back and getting to see more of the city! Have you even been to Toronto?

Looking Back // Moving Forward

Well, hello there! It sure has been a while! I took a little break from blogging and I couldn't be happier to be back. This past month has been an incredible time to reset and simply enjoy moments. These first experiences and memories of 2016 set the year off to an incredible start, and I cannot wait to see that the rest of the year holds. 2015 was a big year for me. I traveled to India, graduated high school, began my life in college, and was even featured in the New York Times! I cannot wait to see all the adventure and opportunity to come in 2016. To catch you up, here is what my winter has been all about so far...

Visting my favorite coffee shop near campus approximately 8497350 times and shooting with Tia at said favorite coffee shop (more photos to come!).

Going home for the holidays. Decking the halls. Sleeping in my own bed. Reuniting with my best friends from home. And watching Star Wars not once, but twice! There is nothing like the feeling of returning back to family, friends, and familiarity.

Going on roomie adventures and exploring more of LA! 

Heading to Canada over MLK weekend with my family. 

Teaming up with Coca Cola to share their #TasteTheFeeling campaign! 

Celebrating my sweet Grammie's birthday at The Happiest Place on Earth! 

Getting fancy for a sorority formal. 

Shooting with Aliana, Tia, and Kinsley! I couldn't wait to share a proof from this past weekend! A bunch of us UCLA creatives came together for this shoot and I cannot wait to share it very soon! 

.....

And there you have it! A little life update and a few goals for the future. I think it is so good to reflect back on experiences so that you can learn and grow for the future. I've been working on my 20 by 20 list and my word for this year is intentional. I want to be more intentional with my time, relationships, academics, and with myself in general. I hope to carry the incredible experiences and lessons from last year into 2016, living life with passion, joy, and intention. So happy to be back to blogging and thank you so very much for stopping by Practically Imperfect. Happy Tuesday!
