This post is a little off-topic but includes paper things 😉 Over the holiday break, I went to British Columbia — Victoria, Sooke and Vancouver to be specific — to meet my partner’s family and also just breathe that sweet, sweet air. I was a huge fan of BC and their paper stores from my 2014 trip, but that wasn’t the only reason I was excited, I swear! So I just wanted to share some photos of my trip. It was amazing and I wish I could go back. I hope you all had nice holidays, too!
There were so many photos I wanted to post, so I hope you don’t mind the slideshow instead of scrolling for a year.

I had the best doughnut of my life at Lucky’s Doughnuts – the mango passionfruit one (the yellow one in the middle). I’m drooling.

I am so jealous of the views in Vancouver. Look out the window, oh hey there’s a mountain. Walk down the street, oh hey the mountain looks nice today. Bah!
