Today was a much more productive day of reading. I was able to finish Rebel Heart, which is the second book in the Dust Lands trilogy and I am now starting the final book in the series, Raging Star.

I hope you all are making good progress on yours! Let me know in the comments below how you are doing :)

#100happydays | Day 3 - May 16th 2014


Another food related post :P Today, I went to Heritage Fish and Chips, with the boy, his dad and grandma and we had a lovely little lunch. It was such a nice little place and there was tons of British memorabilia around and good food. We also went out in the evening for dinner to, so all in all, this day was mostly a day of eating. :P I am now relaxing in bed reading. Yay for the long weekend! :)

Bout of Books 10 | Day 4 Update

Books I am currently reading: 
  • Rebel Heart by Moira Young
Total # of pages read today: 53

Books I completed reading:
  • Blood Red Road by Moira Young
  • Loki: Agent of Asgard - Issue #004
  • Serenity: Leaves on the Wind - Issue #004
Total # of pages read overall: 564

Yesterday was a pretty busy day too and I was feeling quite tired from the events of the previous day, so I was only able to read two comic book issues and I fell asleep before I could read more of Rebel Heart. I am hoping to get a lot of reading done today since I only finished one book so far and we are already at day five and that is really little compared to my last bout of books. It is also a long weekend, and I don't have much planned so a lot more time for reading.

How are you doing with the read-a-thon?

#100happydays | Day 2 - May 15th 2014



I had a relatively calm day today reading some comic book issues I recently bought with my bestie Nikki. I had to drop her off at home but before that we went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I love that place! It does not look all that appealing, but it was delicious.

#100happydays | Day 1 - May 14th 2014

I have decided to participate in the #100happydays challenge and you can read about all the details http://100happydays.com/ :) I will be posting these photos mostly on my instagram which you can follow me under the username @soufflegrl! But I also will be posting the photos in a blog post form on here. I will ALWAYS take a picture the day of, but to make the blog post, it may not show up until the morning after or the day after, but I will always try for the same day. 

To start us off.. I am going to talk about yesterday, the day I met Tom Hiddleston. 

If you know me, then you will know that he is basically my favourite human being ever. I absolutely adore him and admire him so much and I knew he's been filming in the Toronto/GTA area for quite some time now, but with school & work, I haven't been able to come out to find him. My bestfriend Nikki and I made the road trip to Hamilton (we left the house at 7am) hoping to see him, but they weren't actually filming there until today. One of the crew members let it slip to me where they were actually filming, and it is irony since, it is basically 2 minutes away from where I go to school. We drove there and we saw the signs. We saw Tom as he came back and forth from break (and we obviously had to contain our fan girl selves) and then the rain hit.. so that was super depressing for a moment because it was thundershowers and we were worried we wouldn't see him again. On his way home, he called us over and said he brought out headshots for us to sign, which was AMAZING. He personalized them, I got to give him some cards I wrote for him (cheesy I know) and we chatted for a little in the rain, so that was lovely. 


All in all, it was an amazing day, one I will never forget.. and most of all, I am happy I got to share that special moment with my best friend Nikki  :) 

So anyways, from now on, you can find all of these #100happydays post on my instagram like I mentioned, but also here under the tag 100happydays, and there will be a link in the top bar for all of the posts. I hope you can follow me on this journey! :) I will try to do 100 days in a row, so wish me luck, and I just want to say now that I won't always include text/description with the picture.
