Dear Diary,
     So far, 2017 has truly been a year of continued growth, a test of faith, and trying new things. Life feels like it has been passing by so fast, you almost want to press pause so you can catch up. Realizing this, I have truly been making it a point to to ensure that in between work and studies, that I take care of myself, taking mental breaks, enjoying the company of friends, or even just going on peaceful walks by the lake.  This is extremely important, particularly when one starts to find themselves overwhelmed or just in bad head space, as I like to say.                             

     MINI ROADTRIP

      With the end of summer in sight, as a last measure to enjoy ourselves, I planned a mini road trip with my sisters to Niagara Falls, ON and Buffalo, NY #soulsisterroadtrip2017. It was just what the doctor prescribed. Although Mother Nature was not our side for the majority of the trip, we had an amazing time. From site seeing, enjoying the beautiful falls, down to the local club, being in a different environment with great company was so refreshing. 
     If there is one piece of advise I can give to those who find themselves overexerting themselves or feeling as though they have lost their way is take some time to change your surroundings in some way. It doesn't necessarily have to be going on a road trip, it can be as simple as spending the day at the beach, going to a spa or  getting yourself lost in a good book <~ believe me! Anything to free yourself, rejuvenating the mind, body, and soul.

During our time in Niagara Falls we visited Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory. Located on the grounds of the Botanical Gardens, the Butterfly Conservatory is a small enchanted like place filled with all sorts of beautiful species. I felt like I was in a story book, lost in magical kingdom surrounded by beautiful flowers and creatures of all shapes, sizes, and colours. Truly makes you appreciate the small things in life. It has been said that we should stop and smell the flowers, so that is literally what I did.
