Hey all! Just started up a brand spanking new blog over at http://itssabbyg.com Should be an improvement over this one, as I’m bringing in the reins and focusing in on certain themes; namely, the digital arts and graphic design. Not to say those are the only things I’ll be talking about… see for yourself if … Continue reading »

LOOK OUT!
Working on something new… keep a look out! It’ll be going live soon enough :) And yes, this blog will unfortunately become obsolete (if it hasn’t already) once that time comes. See you all soon! Continue reading »
On toilet seats, babies on board, and more!
It case it wasn’t already painfully apparent, I’m admittedly not very good at keeping up with things. This is something I’ll be doing my best to work on, but at the moment I really am actually swamped with work (overtime overload!) and school (yup, went back! More on that when I get a chance…) so … Continue reading »

This Bee Orchid, so-named because of its likeness to the furry insect, is one of many species in the family Orchidaceae that have … Continue reading »

In truth, all losing a job does is create space for something else. This could be anything from another position to … Continue reading »

The journey would last a full 23 days, all of which would be spent outdoors as we travelled from San Antonio to the Grand Canyon. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity, and was rewarded … Continue reading »
30 before 30
There are a lot of these floating around… I also noticed that a number of people who start these find themselves with little over (or under) a year to accomplish their ambitious goals. A year, as I’ve found out through countless failed New Year’s resolutions, is not as long as it seems to be. So I … Continue reading »
For the Love of Mallow
As a girl and wildlife biologist (regrettably just by education, not profession), I’ve been asked many a time what my favourite flower was. An easy question to answer, except for in the instance when your response will be earning you bonus marks on a lucrative final exam for a course in which you are just … Continue reading »
An Adventurer’s Tea Shop!
I love myself a cup of tea. It has been a fancy of mine since my wee years at high school, and by the time I reached cegep (for those of you to which this term is alien: it’s basically grades 12-13), made its way into my morning routine; a daily requirement, if you will. … Continue reading »
