Vancouver Winter Bucket List

November 1, 2018 by Tazim Leave a Comment

What is there to do in Vancouver during winter? With mild winters (compared to most of Canada), a large population of people who enjoy partaking in outdoor activities, and Whistler (the ski-bum capital of B.C.) so closeby, there are plenty of things to do outside during the winter months.

It may seem ironic that, despite having spent my teenage years in Calgary, Alberta—known for its crazy-cold winters—I haven’t really embraced winter sports or activities in the past.

As part of my goal to “embrace the season,” I’m going to really take full advantage of the winter season this year.

A Fresh Start Is Like Jumping Out Of An Airplane

October 11, 2018 by Tazim Leave a Comment

If you’re beating yourself up for not keeping up with your new year’s goals, this may be music to your ears: you can have a fresh start anytime of the year! If you’ve made a promise to yourself that you’ll go for a run twice a week, but you haven’t yet—start on Sunday, or now. There are a few times a year when I give myself permission to really, thoroughly review my progress and majorly change things up. These times are: January, June (my birthday month), and September (back-to-school). Spring is also a great time of year to have a fresh start.

In many ways, this blog is like a fresh start. I’ve been blogging for over 6 years now (!!!) and over the years (of my life and in my blogging career) I’ve really been able to figure out what’s most important to me. Celebrate Life’s Adventures focuses on my most favourite topics ever. Okay, there’s no category for love—which is such an important topic to me—but there will be plenty of self-love in the Self-Care category, and mentions of my favourite people (the ones I love) throughout all my posts. If you’re interested in what I have to say about the topics I’ll be blogging about here, check out my ABOUT PAGE.

Starting on a new adventure can be both exciting and scary at the same time—like jumping out of an airplane. I should know, because I’ve done so before.

No one told me that the first time you skydive, you aren’t supposed to go solo. Apparently the norm is to skydive with an instructor and then go solo. I had no idea. Skydiving wasn’t something that had been on my ‘bucket list’ for a long time, or something that I’d been wanting to do for a while. The idea of going skydiving just came up with a few of my friends from work, and it seemed like it could be fun, so I agreed to go ahead with it. I was young (18) and hadn’t really had any adventures in my life. That adventure was the first of many, both small and large. Sometimes, I feel like I have a boring life—but it only takes a second to look back and think about all the adventurous things that I’ve done. Each time, because of risks involved, it is a little bit exciting and scary.A Fresh Start Is Like Jumping Out Of An Airplane-2

If you checked out my about page (above), you’d notice how excited I am about the new site and all the great content I can share with you! At the same time, I recognize that something new is always a risk.

Where to go Berry Picking in Vancouver

August 15, 2018 by tazimdamji Leave a Comment

Few things get me more excited about the long, hot days of summer more than the arrival of summer fruits at my local grocery stores and farmer’s markets. While I love buying fresh fruits from farmer’s markets a lot more than from big grocery stores, because I feel like I’m tasting all the love that went into growing the produce, there’s nothing quite like picking my own fruits from a farm.

I first experienced the joy of a U-Pick berry farm in London, Ontario while visiting a friend’s family. Everyone, including all the young children went out to pick strawberries. It was so much fun choosing each berry and placing it into my bucket. It was even more fun eating the freshly picked strawberries soon afterward — cut up and eaten with vegan vanilla ice cream.

Budget Road-Trip Tips

August 1, 2018 by Tazim 2 Comments

Ah, the open road! For me, it doesn’t feel like summer unless there’s at least one road-trip planned! There are so many reasons why you might want to plan a road-trip this summer: the freedom to explore and be spontaneous, the ability to venture near and far to places you may not be able to get to via other modes of transportation, and having the ability to keep within a budget. You CAN stick to your budget on a driving holiday! Here are a few road-trip tips to help you along.
