Freedom comes in many forms...  ... like jumping around in thigh high snow! These photos make me smile for many reasons. One being the backstory of getting them. They were actually taken during Iulia and I's trip to Vancouver Island. It had been raining pretty hard while we were visiting, but no steady snow. Then on our way home, as we were climbing the mountains, we hit this amazing heavy, beautiful snow! The mountains looked...

With the year end winding down, we decided to cross one last thing off the travel bucket list... STORM WATCHING! Being in love with Vancouver Island, I've visited in all seasons but the winter. I've always been curious what the powerful sea would look like during the moody storm season and we figured what better place than to do it from Ucluelet.

One thing that I have had on my mind lately, is fear. No matter who we are, we all have to face it. I'm lucky enough to have some fellow lady bosses (both near and far), who are bravely pursuing living out their dreams and something that I'm constantly reminded of is the power of fear.   If we're not careful, it can determine what we do and don't. I'll be the first to...

Hidden in the middle of change and much growth; twenty thirteen held adventure. The previous year had been filled with personal heartbreak and to be honest, as 2013 began... I wasn't sure what the outcome for KVBijou would be. It's a wildly difficult thing to be promoting and creative, in the midst of grief. It requires a free-spirited curiosity and strength that I was out of. I was privately recovering from surgery, the loss of...
