I worked out 4 time this week, and on the day I didn’t exercise we managed to all 10,000 steps (and discovered a new park) so high-five for me 😉 In reality this should have been a habit for me for at least the last 10 years. I remember after Roo was born I was determined to get on a work out regime and got suckered in to buying several Beach Body infomercial workouts. It was the mid 2000s so online workout videos weren’t really a thing. It was either the gym or DVD’s. Since I abhor the gym, DVD’s it was. I think my first two were Windsor Pilates, and Yoga Booty Ballet. I saw zero results from either but I guarantee if I would have got myself in to a better routine and exercise habit 13 years ago, then I wouldn’t be having this much difficulty today.
June is Pride month and a lot of retailers are putting out clothing. I included a few of them above just in case you are looking for something to wear to show your support.

Some where along the way Memorial Day weekend has almost turned into as big of an event as Black Friday when it comes to sales. I’m not sure when the meaning of the weekend switched to barbecues and shopping versus what the day really means, but these sales are far and wide. Even as a Canadian I have been bombarded with sales emails and coupon codes, so today’s Reads and Finds is compiled with things that are currently on sale.
Here are a few of the sales that you can find this weekend:

It’s a long weekend here for Victoria Day on Monday which is actually to commemorate Queen Victoria’s birthday but has turned in to the unofficial start of summer and probably the biggest drinking weekend of the year. So happy May two-four weekend, the nickname it was lovingly given after a 24 case of beer.
My mom told me that they sell Mac computers and laptops on The Shopping Channel which surprised me. It is also extremely tempting because I would like a laptop, and can get one by paying 12 monthly instalments which makes it actually a realistic option. It’s super tempting, but maybe I’ll wait and see what I owe for taxes first. I’m really dreading that phone call.

This was a hard week. If you didn’t hear, on Monday Toronto had a van attack. Ten people are dead and 14 others are wounded after a man purposefully ran over people on Yonge St. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the news. Even now it’s still hard to wrap my head around because you just want to know why? He was apprehended soon after but the reason behind the attack is still not certain. A Toronto Fundraising site has raised 1.5 million as of now, so here is the link if you wish to donate to the cause.
On a more positive note they caught the Golden State Killer after 40 years using online DNA sites. This has caused a slight uproar in the Geneology/DNA research community in regards to accessing peoples’ DNA without their “permission” to help them solve this crime. Lots of people say it’s a slippery slope (I hate that term) but I say if you can use my DNA to help find a criminal than use it. If you can use my DNA to try to solve cold cases, to help find the identities of Jon and Jane Does, and even to understand and potentially cure genetic diseases then please do. While I initially took the DNA test it was to piece together my heritage because my dad was adopted. But the potential is so much more than I even realized.

Sandals are the one area that I always seem to have trouble with, because I can never find a pair that I like in a price point that I can afford. I refuse to pay an arm and a leg for something that I am only going to get a few months wear from every season, so I try to veer away from styles that are too trendy to get more than one season from them.
I have had only one pair of sandals each summer for the last 8 or 9 years. My current sandals I bought from Etsy three years ago (I think) and the pair before that I had for 4-5 years. I don’t really have a need multiple pairs since I tend to wear sneakers and slip-ons more often than sandals, but I am due for a new pair. I was leaning towards Birkenstocks in the Daloa Ankle Strap style but I can’t find them around here and I really don’t want to order from the U.S. They would be a pair that I could wear for years so spending $100 isn’t crazy in that instance.
While I was scouring online trying to find alternatives to the Birks I like I found a lot of cute styles that fell under $50. When I am looking for cute shoes for a great price the first place I visit is Zara because they seem to hit it out of the park every season in the shoe department. They ALWAYS have the cutest styles, and there is never a time that I don’t have a pair of their shoes in my online basket.
Another great spot to hit is DSW. They have so many names brands at discounted prices with customer reviews on each style to help guide your decision. Finding a pair that looks great and lasts all season shouldn’t break the bank so I rounded up some cute styles that all fall at or under $50.
Are you still on the hunt for sandals or am I the only one?
