So Worth Loving is one of my absolute favourite organizations because of what they stand for & if you follow their Instagram page you know they're always preaching self love & worthy messages. I discovered this company a few years ago via Savannah's blog when she was over on Maiedae & promoting this company. I checked them out & loved what they stood for so I followed them on social media. Every time this company appeared on my timeline they put a smile on my face with their post or the message they were passing.

After following them for quite some time, I realized I needed to buy myself something to wear so I could flaunt this message of you are so worth loving. I want to wear it so that other people can notice it & perhaps take the message in for themselves. The shirt I bought has become smaller than I would like it to be on me so I'm on a hunt for something new from them. It also helps that their packaging is pretty awesome (I will try to do a boomerang on my Insta stories opening the package when I get it). Here are the ones I'm looking at purchasing:






SWL is a brand that promotes self worth and believing that no matter what, you are worth loving. Their vision or motto if you will is: No matter my history, past mistakes, relationship status or career choice, I am Worthy of Loving. Which basically means that people shouldn't decide what kind of love you deserve based on anything that isn't a determinant of your character; love me for who I am because thats what I deserve.

Some days when I'm feeling shitty about life or just not feeling like I'm worthy enough, I like to wear my shirt to give me that confidence boost I may need & make me feel like I'm worth more than I think I am. There are so many youth & individuals struggling with so much in life & being unworthy sometimes is one of those things, so it's nice to have that reminder that you are so worth loving & so much more.

Check out their website & social media pages for more information about them & snag yourself some pretty sweet gear that switches up every now & then. Just remember to love you, love people (that's another one of their sayings).

If you look under my title Lamrou Life it says, concerts, adventures & food but if you check out my blog most of my posts seem to be about food & concerts but has been lacking on the adventures. This year I would like to change that & go on adventures bigger than I have been on & enjoy some great adventures I have been wanting to take; my Pinterest board is getting out of control & I need to stop learning airport codes I'm not flying to.

Last time I went on any big adventures or got a plane was in 2015 when I went to New York City twice & flew on over to the East Coast to see how they get down & 2016 was spent driving to as many cities that were close to me, Buffalo, Syracuse, Montréal, Ausable Chasm, Toronto. This year we need to change it up & fly around to see things & people that i've dreamed about for so long.

I have many places I would like to go this year but there are only 12 months in a year so I will attempt to check out as much as I possibly can. Here are a few places I would like to see this year & things I would like to do in each city.

Portland/Lewiston, Maine

My mom's uncle & his wife live in Lewiston but all the cool things to do are in Portland so i'm thinking of driving down so I can have a car while i'm down there & can check out all the cool things around the state plus an amazing road trip there with many things to see along the way.

Eating is one of my favourite pastimes so I enjoy find easy restaurants that I can go check out for an occasion and get dressed up, a place to get a chill meal or a places to grab some appetizers. Jack Astor's came to Ottawa not too long ago & it was a place we all had to check out and see if it was better than anything we already had here in Ottawa.


It basically is a mix of Milestones and a sports bar. It's a pretty chill place & it's nice because the staff all can help you with what you need if your server is nowhere to be found which usually tends to happen when you actually need something.

I've been there quite a few times & the last time I went there I realized that it's more of an appetizer spot for me at least. I feel like I'm not asking for much when it comes to restaurants and yes I've tried enough dishes to come up with this conclusion but I usually don't really like the food that I get & wish I had just got multiple apps and/or gone somewhere else.


From everything that I've tried, i've LOVED the stacked poutine which I can't have anymore and the board nachos (the shrimp & chicken ones are my absolute fav but shrimp doesn't exist anymore because it apparently wasn't popular enough). I was on a hunt for a chill spot with good food that I can always find something great on the menu to have or keep having things that I like & always have like a backup restaurant but Jack Astor's just wasn't that for me. If you have been and/or know something amazing that I need to try from there, let me know and maybe i'll go back and check it out.

On this #beantrail I stumbled upon this Instagram page of this place that looked so good I needed to check it out ASAP & take nice pretty pictures of my goodies. I went once 2 months ago but had to take one trip back by myself where I spent a few hours there working on some stuff & trying something else.

First time I went, I had a avocado toast with a almond milk latte & let me just say I've been thinking about that avocado toast since I had my first bite.



Just look at how beautiful that avo toast be looking, I need to go back for some more. It literally is a piece of toast with beet hummus, avocado, some cucumber & carrots cut in spirals with, I think spicy mayo drizzled on top, absolutely delicious.

Today I had me pizza & an iced chai tea latte because I was feeling me a cold drink & I know what your all thinking, didn't you say in your last post no more dairy this year and yes you are correct (it was the easiest thing to take cheese off of which I did & I wanted to try something different even though the avo toast was BOMB AF last time).

Happy New Years!!! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend & rang in the new year with great friends/family/people. My weekend started Friday night when I made last minute decision to go to Toronto & see my friend's cultural show & ring in the New Year with them. We started the party Saturday night & didn't stop until Monday night. It was the best way to keep the party going. I barely have pictures but that's a good thing because you know we were having too much fun then to remember to take pictures (there are some but very few).


I hope you started of your New Year with great goals & plans that you can follow through with. I made myself a list of things I for sure want to achieve & if I write it here I'll feel more obligated to actually work towards it (i'm also trying this thing where I follow through with everything).




My list or resolutions if you will are as follows:

• Fitness Fitness Fitness. I'm signing up to a different studio every month so I can keep it fresh & new every month because I need change to keep things interesting
• I need to read more & buy more books because my library goals are nowhere where they need to be; picture Beauty & the Beast library #goals
• Time to get serious about my diet which includes NO ACID (maybe occasional pop but like twice a month) & NO DAIRY (hoollaaa vegan alternatives)
• Put in work for the things I can easily change such as putting effort so my hair can grow, or saving up so I can go on a shopping spree & get the nice things I want, etc
• and my last & biggest one is that I'm not gonna wait on people. If i want to do something but no one else does that I will still go & do it. I will live life to the fullest  & do and experience everything that I want to 

I started writing this post as I was heading home from the show because this show was too good that I needed to post about it quick (ps. the show was Dec 13th).

Winter has finally arrived and I think it's here to stay because it hasn't rained away yet. Winter here means cold weather & warmer clothes which means it's time to go shopping. I absolutely dislike shopping hence the reason I spend all my money eating instead of on clothing to keep me warm but I've been inspired lately to find nice & warm winter clothing.


I usually find my inspo via bloggers I follow like The August Diaries & SS Life & Style (they live in Toronto so their outfits are realistic for this Ontario weather) as well as Pinterest (this is my clothing board). They say you never know who your gonna meet when you leave your house so look good at all times; I believe that is a possibility but realistically some days we will be looking like we just crawled out of bed to run quick errands like some groceries or to get gas so future Prince Charming, look away if you see me looking like a hot mess. My 2016 new year resolution was to make more of an effort to dress decently & i've been mostly sticking to it but come next year i'll be putting it more into effect.

I've been buying things here & there & piece by piece that are totally winter friendly and things that are meant for any season but winter. A few weeks ago I went out & showed my mom the winter gear I got myself, slip on Vans & pyjama shorts. She looked at me & laughed like good luck in the snow you clearly think winter is a joke. I have been really wanting some slip on Vans & I knew winter was coming but sometimes when you want something really bad you will get them no matter what but i'll take the L on that because it was definitely not the timing for it AND they are half a size to small *face palm*.

My best purchase would definitely have to be my blanket scarf that I live in; it's multi-purpose & can be transformed into a blanket when one is in need (i've done it before & it kept me warm). I have shaped up a bit now that the snow is here, I bought winter boots and ripped jeans (haven't shaped up completely). Slowly but surely I'm expanding my closet to have some comfy & fashionable pieces for winter.

The pieces I have been enjoying the most & I keep buying are bodysuits. Bodysuits are easy pieces to throw on with a pair of nice jeans & scarf/sweater/cardigan/flannel if your always cold like I am or just with whatever bottoms. I currently have 6 that I just want to be wearing all the time because they can be dressed up or down depending on what you feeling. The three are below are some of the ones I have; I have the red one but in a royal blue colour.

• a comfy, not itchy knit sweater
• long cardigans
• flat almost knee high boots
• leggings, leggings, leggings (crucially bottoms for lazy days & winter)
• few NOT ripped jeans so my knees can be warm
