Summary: Guys who drink white claws don’t deserve a chance, SVBank ?, Dark Blue Jeans, Do you want Turbulence?, Ceaser salad and love letters, again.

“But does he even check the breeze?”

Start planning your Halloween costume now.

Observation: Everyone is always checking themselves out in the mirror, window.,and any refection. Challenge Of the week, when you want to look in the mirror or see your reflection. don’t. Try to not give in to the urge to check yourself out when your walking past a glass window on king street, toronto. You’re a baddie, you dont need to check. You’ll actually get hotter by not doing this.

“Hard to believe” its already another September. But also, things are starting to feel right. This autumn Fashion is Dark Jeans. Dark dark blue. Thrift these. Value village is just filled with great dark jeans, if you can spare the patience to look. My pair pictured below are from H&M thrift and say ‘fit sliq” which I wore to the MOCA preview last night in Toronto. They might look good, but they arent comfy tho. I thought it was quite funny when a friend of mine said “but does he even check the breeze?” I lol’d.This actually made laugh out loud. I’ve gone on dates now where my guy friends say “oh how’d it go?” me: “meh it was alright” them: “he didnt check the breeze eh” 😂

N2S (Note 2 Self) when a guy says he plays hockey in New York, there’s a reason he isn’t flexing “city” at the end. No judgment to New York State though. Something about quiet towns recently that intrigues me much more than the hustle of polluted air. But here I am back in the city. Hate that I love it but love that I hate it. #mixedfeels

Education Section: If you really want something in your career, you’ll tolerate the grind. When you complain, reevaluate what your doing. hard work is hard but complaining falls in a different pool, and its not a clean one. My friend OB is using an app called “strides” that helps with daily checklists and accomplishing your goals!

Song Of the Week: Circadian Rhythym x Drake…… how tf Im still 🆙

Finance/Geography Section:

“Fast & Failing” slow down… take time to review your work. Submit the next morning to give yourself extra review time. This week I heard the sentence “So tell me about the SVB”. not SBH

SVB = Silicon Valley Bank

SBH = Saint-Barthélemy Island .. I still cannot believe i went… excited for the magazine to come this fall, fingers crossed.

Money And Bad Habits = K next time you wanna go buy food to a fill a void, or something random, send someone who your indebt to that money. For example, instead of me ordering Uber eats for no reason, I can send my dad that $24. (If your really hungry and its not the weekend, frozen salmon should be in your freezer for you to eat) send that sum of money to your savings, or someone you owe money to or might in the future. Small payments are easy to lose track, so they can also be easy to add up and lower your debt or contribute to your travel savings or what not.

Silicon Valley Bank

from a B.ed girl in the finance world

“They faced a bank run - they also made a massive bet on long term treasuries but got hit hard when interest rates when up” - EG
2023 Collapsed and closed in March 2023

Taking a step back to take a leap forward. Deep breathe, and a step back allows you to see the future… if you think about it. It’s okay to let go and redefine xo

Kind Words and Hospitality: When I visit hotels or friends, etc like at Maison Blanc Blue in St Barts with Hugh, and this weekend visting my nana, I love when someone says “make yourself at home”. To me this is like a little hug and smile inside. I appreciate this comment svm (so very much).

Law Homework & Movies: “Mary J. Blige's Strength of a Woman”

In the movie, jam pact with drama, the main character was a known photographer in Chicago. In the movie, she collabs with her ex high school lover who is a public defender to create videos that reflect young teens and their true character. As an aspiring lawyer (one day) this would be a great tactic for a judge to visual see and feel the vibe of who someone truly is… behind all the stereo types.

Please remember this is light writing style blog, not a professional essay. Therefore, the structure is still being figured out.

Movie Of The Week: Nottinghill .. ifykyk After meeting Mr British in SBH, I all of a sudden feel drawn to London … but my sense of fernweh was already building up. It just comes in fazes.

GAF (give a f**) this was a key term in 2022 summer lingering into 2023. Never felt back until this week. GAF mentality values the importance of doing what is best for yourself, and not feeling bad about it. Staying Playful and Mischievous, as Hugh would say. I’m referencing economist/rockstar Hugh Hendry. If your new to my page, I recently travelled to St Barts and spent a week covering Hugh’s Acid Capitalist Financial Camp and exploring St Barts on my own. Going up’d my braveness for sure… ill dive into that this fall when the SBH Voyage Hugh Hendry Magazine is available to the public. Anywho, I encourage you to try and GAF this week, I promise you’ll feel better internally, and externally. A.K.A fuel your own dreams and desires.

Love & Going Out In Toronto Section:

Quarantatre. that’s italian

Closest thing to nyc and hot people is the Ossington strip. Baby Huey had some bangers, and flow. This could be a really good spot with a big group of friends too, and $5 dollar drinks, free cover before 11pm. On the other hand, Saint John Tavern on John Street is also peak queens x western 99,98,97 scene, and any one who has just moved from England, Ireland, and such. Its giving euro cool soccer bar. That’s exactly what your getting when you walk in the door. I went to a few winter birthdays where they rented out the upstairs area & bar.

It’s still out there, if you look for it.

The Southern Draw = Green Flag. If he has that southern draw…. I’m going with green flag. Go for it, and research more for us. Southern draw gives consistency and stability. It gives Matthew McConaughey. I have two guy friends in Toronto, both dark hair that have this draw. I back it.

When something doesn’t feel right, its best in these situations to listen and stop engaging. P.S Snapchat … its nice to send photos that disappear and not hold storage, but it feels quite amateur. Could snapchat rebrand ? I think yellow is passé @ https://www.snapchat.com/

“I’ve just been studying during the week but I still enjoy my weekends, but u know weekends aren’t for dates, there for the boys” - Retired Ryerson (TMU) hockey player. Ya Toronto, I wanna love you so bad, but your making it really hard for me. I hate to type it out but if he says “i’m so simple, i love white claws”. Ghost him. Go home. Dating a guy who drinks Szelters is like dating a guy in Insurance, you just don’t do it. The nicest way to exit is the simple answer “ya we don’t align”. “Ya I’m a white claw kinda guy”. This still cracks me up, but also this is why my one way to nyc is getting much much closer than I realize. 🗽

I need a man that can challenge me and is focused. Love to me would be a life partnership with motivation, support and S P A C E. Love shouldn’t be co-dependence and toxic behavior, it is support, strength, and loving from a far. Go to Harvard Law.

S P A C E. give him and yourself S P A C E. There is nothing wrong with flying to the moon and back. This allows for your own clarity, and filling your independence cup. I met a girl this week who had broken up with her boyfriend of 6 years and was in a state of “regret’. My advice to her was “if you really love him and think you cant live with out him… write him a love letter, and at the end of the letter, you’ll know your answer”. However it went, you’ll know in your heart if you feel strong enough to send it, or if it was simply because you don’t want to be alone. Being alone is scary, and it hurts, but it builds strength. It’s important to have support from loved ones, but to rely on anyone but yourself for happiness with in, means a life of turbulence. & I don’t know anyone who has ever said “ i enjoyed that bumpy airplane ride”.

New Bs & Old Bs: If your second guessing the relationship before you’ve even asked her out… that is your answer. Save yourself time. If your not head over, your head under. You can be a coward or you can be courageous… how do you want to define yourself ? #peaceout #PO #courage truly staying with the wrong “right” person is a form of selfishness and the opposite of self-respect.

Healing vs Avoidance ? = sit with your feelings. G I V E Y O U R S E L F T I M E. True love never goes away, and nothing rushed has ever been anything gained/maintained.

Something to Think About: Reaching a Goal, and Maintaining a Goal are 2 different things. #maintainmentality

Idc what any of the girls say about being dominant and having “nothing to lose”, I’ve decided that I wont be texting first moving forward and we have everything to lose ladies.

Health & Wellness:

The only thing making you ugly is sugar. I had Haribo and Trolli candy worms this week and my face in just one week is puffy and not what I like to see at all. It’s crazy cause sugar addiction is real. Cant lose touch with moderation and balance. Those two words are the key to relieving any of your addictions. Enjoy in moderation xo.

Recipe Of The Week:

Cucumbers
Soy sauce
Greek Yogurt 0% if you can
Canned Tuna
Rice Crackers
Dill & Chives

@bethanyfrankly i think she’d appreciate this for her skinny girl chicken salad fix. Her photo below with the watch…the “I’m back blue” colour, and the blue poppi…. I simple admire. Luv her.

Food,Fashion,Flowers: you can see the bouquet from the MOCA Art museum below, and a superb Caesar salad from Victor in the Le Germaine Hotel on Mercer Street Toronto. Which is directly across from the new Nobu location. So funny, cause we saw the teenager actor from the movie “Were the Millers”, his name is William Poulter. The garlic croutons here and the thick bacon pieces were so good & fresh. The service was slow in a way that you could really enjoy your meal and supported deep conversations. This could be a great resto to debrief with a friend.
