These Are Not Jeans
{aritzia blog}
...but they're just as dope as denim.
I admit I didn't really look twice at these in person, but after seeing this post today - um, now I want them more than ever?
Damn good marketing, gets me every time... even when it's from the company that I work for.

Post-Olympic Depression
The 2nd best thing about this short trip was that even though it was work-related (and expenses paid), it totally didn't feel like it. Funny cause I just got my cheque from the last pay period and it surprised me because I had expected it to be way lower as if I had taken a vacation over Reading Week but duh, I still managed to kick in a good 30hrs while I was there. Besides being able to go out in the Village before or after our shifts, we were also all given a full day off to spend at our leisure - with the exception of working around the scheduled time in our itinerary for attending an Olympic Event. Everyone that got sent out were given tickets to see one (Thank you BH!), depending on what was happening around the time of your waves. I got to go see the Ladies Alpine Downhill skiing, which was a Medal Event happening at Whistler's own Creekside hills:

Meals Per Diem
{the three S's at lunch w. iyana, chili chicken at earls, nutella & cinnamon sugar beaver tails, bento box at sushi village, a canadian poutine}
Give a girl $40 a day for food and this is what she'll do with it.
"WILL STARVE TO SHOP?" NAH B, I USED IT ALL AND ATE LIKE A QUEEN

Born On The Streets
Having been open for only a couple of years now, both the Aritzia and TNA stores in Whistler couldn't have had better timing to make it big with the Olympics bringing in people from all over the world (see next post) to it's tiny town. You actually have to keep an eye out for them, since they're tucked away in the middle of souvenir shops and I'm not gunna lie... even I missed them my first time around the village, walked right past them and got lost. With that being said, foot traffic isn't even close to being as crazy as what we were all used to from back home (especially for the TO girls), and even though we were all incredibly excited to be sent out to help run the store, we all joked around about how they were doing it to give us a break, haha. True or not, it was certainly refreshing to be out of a mall for once and I especially loved the idea of literally being able take a breath of fresh air while running across the street from store to store to grab a size or say what's up. I also fell in love with the whole Whistler mentality that they have going on there: think chill and down for anything, which I was able to feed off of straight from the local girls* there and decided to take home with me. Let's see how well that works out back here in the city, shall we?

I wouldn't have swapped being in Whistler for anyone or anything, not even for that pool.

Management
{4463, 3407, 6079, 2195, 7433 & 6205}
Okay, I confess. They are so much more to me than just numbers. I've been so damn stressed, emotional and confused lately, and what it really comes down to is just having them all to talk to on the Floor and to discuss life's adventures & opportunities with. Because in reality, although sometimes even I forget, I'm still one of the babies and I really do need their advice, support, guidance - ANYTHING, especially when the people that I should be getting it from the most just don't understand. Gosh, I'm pretty sure that they've all seen me cry my eyes out at the store throughout the years (and maybe at a recent shift)... c'mon Diaz! So to Madeline, Judy, Tif (always), Nikki, Hayley who's not shown, and Deb...thank you.
PS. Holla at my girl Jess T. for taking the photo at our staff dinner and bc she told me that she'd love a shoutout on here, haha.
PPS. The real 'baby' of the group was on the 1st wave out to Vancouver/Whistler today and she's constantly been keeping me updated via text so that I know what's up ("Apparently we're staying in ____'s _____!", "Nothing to sit on at the station", etc).
PPPS. Oh and Deb is in Europe. Madd jealous.

All Black Everything
Spring launch is in 3 days?
I have my first midterm next week?
...how nutty, Winter is going by just as quick as it came. Perhaps because I've been keeping myself steadily busy so far this semester, with a full load of 5 courses (which I had yet to do in my post-secondary career)... I'm really cracking down on myself. I need to. I need this. I've been finding great pride & satisfaction in making to-do lists in my moleskine and checking off each and every little box at the end of the night. It's a dope feeling and in all honesty, I do get to sleep with my chest feeling a little lighter. Then I wake up to do it all over again.
As a result, blogging is being taken to a minimum and I'm trying to stick to this whole one-post-a-day approach to it... which unsurprisingly opens up a whole new window of time in my life to focus on other things like geology, business law, statistics, accounting and evolutionary anthropology... awesome. It's just so crazy how obsessed I was before, and now that I've finally found an overall look and feel that reflects what I want this blog to be... I'm happy with where this is slowly but successfully going. So holla to my new followers, those who have been commenting, and of course the girls at work who have all just found out about this thing. Speaking of which! Watch out for a sick collaboration between yours truly and my homegirl Hayley, which will make its debut on here shortly.
So what else is in an update? Recent purchases above.I think that'll do for today. See you tomorrow!
