A 23 year old procrastinating college student who wants to travel the world, and enjoys: music, hockey (Avid Vancouver Canucks fan :D), cosmetics, cooking/baking, photography, writing, reading, being outside, event planning/coordinating, and playing copious amounts of Skyrim. Currently obsessed with nail polish blogs, and anything pertaining to healthy eating and exercise!
