Photos of the Month : August 2014

Hello everyone. I hope you all have had a good long weekend so far. The weather is pretty hot right now and I don't find it too pleasant to be outside. Hopefully it gets a little cooler. It's around 30 to 35 degrees Celsius and that is too hot for me...

But the hot weather doesn't mean that I don't have any pictures for you. I still enjoy taking pictures when I'm out and about... and I have a good few selection for you guys for the month of August.

It has been mostly cloudy this month and hot and sometimes rainy, so that doesn't give me a lot of opportunities to take good pictures. 

So lets just enjoy these two pretty flowers that are my two favourite pictures in this blog post. I love taking photos of flowers but these two are my absolute favourite. Looking at them, it just makes me really happy.. maybe I'm weird like that? anyways..

I hope you guys had an amazing month of August. It was pretty uneventful for me. Just normal life stuff.

Have an amazing long weekend and start of the week! Stay safe

Lots of love,
Dina

Photos of the Month : July 2014

It has been a very long time since the last time I poster a "Photos of the Month" blog post and I really miss it. I just took a several month break, so to speak and I am back, hopefully fingers crossed, to be posting blogs and actually staying. No more breaks!!

Month of July was my birthday and also cottage month! haha I had such a great month of July with my family and friends and I am so thankful for everything and I thought to share some of the pictures I took during my cottage trip/vacation with you.

I love to do landscape/ nature photography and I love sunsets. The cottage we were staying at had such an amazing view and it got better at sunset.

The food was amazing, it was just a very relaxing and joyful month for me.

The cake was amazing as well. Who doesn't love a good chocolate cake? well, I know I do. I would just eat the whole thing since it was my birthday and all. DUH ;)

Short blog post, I know, I know but I like to keep my "photos of the month" blog post short. I just mainly want to share the photos and that is basically it.

I hope you guys had a good month of July.

Stay safe and happy :)

Lots of love,
Dina

Photos of the Month : January 2014

Hello everyone!

I hope you all have had a great month of January and a good start to the month of February. I really enjoyed sharing some of "nature" pictures of mine during 2013 through these blog posts so I decided to keep doing them since it is so much fun for me and it is a little different than my usual beauty posts. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do! :)

Winter is still happening here in Toronto! yes, it's all white everywhere STILL!! Don't get me wrong, I love snow and how beautiful it is, but sometimes you just get tired of how cold it is outside!! Well, it is Toronto and there is nothing I can do about that. In my opinion, Toronto is so UNPREDICTABLE!! One year we have the most pleasant winter ever and the next year it is all warnings of how being outside for 5 minutes the skin is going to freeze.

But honestly, some days can be a bit of a disaster. Let me explain to you so you wont think I'm crazy. So it snows A LOT and then nothing happens for a few days just super cold weather and lots of wind then one day the temperature goes high and it is so pleasant it feels like spring, well not really but you get what I mean. So the snow starts to melt, obviously, and then at night the temperature drops again and all that melted snow is now ICE!! So imagine walking on solid ice. That's how crazy it can get here. I'm sure it is a whole lot worse in other places but Toronto, come on... go a little easy on us would you??

Any ways, I really do try to look at the positive side of things which can be REALLY hard at times. Well, at a lot of times.. haha

I don't have a picture of those days that I had to walk on ice because I had to be careful not to fall, so I didn't really remember to bring out my cellphone and take a picture. Oops, my bad, forgive me!! :D

My "photos of the month" posts wont be complete unless I include some sort of delicious looking picture of food. So, this was my way of making easy, fast, home made pizza!

I hope for you all to have an amazing month of February. Stay safe, warm and happy lovelies.

Love, Dina.

Photos of the Month : December 2013

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the last "Photos of The Month" of the year of 2013!! I can't believe 2013 is over and it is already 2014!! it still sounds a little weird to say 2014 and write in down. I was just getting used to say and write 2013!! haha. Any ways, I hope you all have had a great holiday and a very happy new year. 

The month of December was pretty crazy for the people of Toronto. I'm just speaking for myself here but I'm pretty sure some will agree with me. With all the snow and ice storm and then the crazy -40 degrees Celsius, it was just insane and COLD!!!!

The credit for this picture goes to my brother! 

With the ice storm and all that came with it which included lots of trees falling and breaking and making a disaster over all and the power outage, I'm sure it was all over the news, I still tried to capture some of the beauty it brought with itself.

At night, it rained a lot and started getting really cold while raining which was not good because in the morning, all of the tree branches were frozen. 

As you might be able to tell, the trees look white pretty much. Yes this is actually really beautiful but a lot of the trees where falling off and making lots of disasters because of this. Fortunately me and my family and friends were not really affected by this. We were just lucky. This is why I can see the beauty of it. If it affected me in some way, I'm not sure if I could say the same...

Any ways, enough of the ice storm talk, we here in Toronto have some amazing sunsets. This is not the best of them, but it's still sunset!! I love sunsets, there is just something really amazing about watching the sun go down and make the sky go all dark and stuff.. I'm probably just rambling right now, but honestly, today is one of those days that I just want to type whatever comes to my mind on this blog post!!

This is the very button of my window in the early morning. It is all frozen and icy and beautiful and unique.

Bath & Body works had such good deals during the month of December and obviously for a very good reason. So I treated my self and got some candles and my favourite between the ones I got is Fireside. It is absolutely amazing. It smells warm, cozy, woodsy, mysterious, and I could burn it all day and not get a headache from it!!

And the last picture is FOOD!! I could not end this blog post and not include a picture of delicious, mouth watering shrimp salad that I made. Yes, yes, let us take a moment and drool all over ourselves and enjoy this delicious looking picture and I am going to stop rambling right now!

I hope you guys had an amazing year of 2013 and I also hope that you had an amazing start of 2014.

Stay warm ,comfortable, and safe lovelies. 

Lots of love, Dina

Photos of the Month : October 2013

Hello everyone. I hope you all have had a good week so far.

Today I am going to share with you some of the pictures I took during the month of October!

Toronto looks so beautiful during the fall season. Well, it looks beautiful all year around but it is a lot more special to me during fall since the -whole leaves changing colour- is my favourite thing ever.

Pumpkin season!! I love it when stores get festive and decorate for special holidays. Well, I'm not sure if Halloween counts as a holiday or not but I sure do enjoy the whole excitement that comes with it.

Everything is colourful and a lot more fun, at least for me it is!! I just try to bring out the best and positive in everything. Even though with fall coming it means less sun, cold weather and jackets and wind but I look at the bright side and cheer myself up with enjoying the nature as it changes and gets ready for winter.

I take pictures to capture the good details that fall brings. Like how colourful the nature gets...green mixed with orange, yellow, and red.

I prove to you that fall is just as beautiful as any other season by taking these pictures and sharing them with you, but I am sure you guys know it already! :)

Here are some semi-creepy pictures for you all. I actually edited the below picture in the right to make it more creepy. It does creep me out a little. haha

October was a really fun month for me. I really enjoyed taking these pictures and I hope you guys enjoyed seeing them as well.

Have an amazing November !!

Love, Dina
