How many ways can you skin a cat? Frankly, I'm not sure, and I'm not in the business of finding out. Alternatively,what I would like to explore is how many ways I am able to be creative and constantly innovative with a classic object. To exercise my creativity I have devoted a short time each day to an apple, and what I can make of it.
To each apple a story, and It is with this practice I hope not only to reflect my believe in healthy lifestyle but also demonstrate my personality through each execution.
I'm new here.
Moving to a new country can be hard, even if its only next door. I am proud to be Canadian, and when I feel myself becoming home sick I just remember all the bright opportunities a head of me and my new life in America. I couldn't be happier to call two wonderful nations home.

With the booming tech market, our world is evolving everyday. As a young adult currently living in San Francisco I can feel these changes first hand as the community around me is the first market to many of these advances. I feel truly blessed to be at the forefront of this exciting new world. Needless to say, I occasionally have to take a step back and remember just because I have an app for that, not everyone does.

If you were to tell me two years ago I'd be where I am now, I would have told you "No way". With the more I learn, move and grow my way through this life the harder I find it to predict the future. Though I do have goals, I can't tell you where I will end up, everyday is a new adventure I am lucky to have. Make sure not to tell someone they're wrong, never say never.
Still Life.
As they say "The days are long and the years are short." If I am not fully content with a situation I can find myself wishing it away in hopes for a something better in the future. I don't advocate for this thinking, in fact when I catch myself going in this direction I stop myself. There may be a better future ahead, but it is all stages of life that make us who we are. Take a moment to be happy for everything you have going for you right now, because you may never have this again. The present is the greatest gift of all.

All things in moderation. An essential truth to life is that balance is key. It seems things are most rewarding when you have worked hard for them, so work hard. But don't ever forget to take care of yourself, eat healthy, exercise, spend time doing things you love, be with friends... then get back to work. Positive balance in all things keeps me centered and fulfilled, I highly suggest it.
It's like apples to oranges.
As a creative person it is easy to look at great work you admire and feel very discouraged. What I have learned is it is important to be aware of great creatives, study their work, really take it in. But, it is equally important to not compare yourself to them, learn from them. The balance of learning and practice makes a happy artist.

In life planting roots is important, but empathy is key. I believe that no matter where you are located, whether it be big or small it is invaluable to know how others live, really get a taste for the world around you. The more I travel, the more I am able to understand, will put me in a better place to relate and grow.
I woke up like this. Maybe she's born with it, maybe its just the peel.
I am not about to lie and say I don't care what people think of me, I do care, quiet a bit. I don't say this in vanity, but coming from a place of presentation. I prefer to enter the room with my best foot forward. I admire in others qualities of being polite, kind, and presentable, so this is what I what I try to be myself. And lets face it, when you look good, you feel good.
