Shine On Award
Wow! Thank you to tkmorkin from Bite Size Canada for nominating me for the Shine On Award!
The Shine On Award is about brotherly/sisterly lurve. I don’t think it’s really an “award” but it’s an appreciation for other bloggers who make you feel all warm + fuzzy inside. I’m not really sure about all the rules + regulations about this award. But I do know that:
1) link back to the kind person that nominated you
2) post a picture of the Shine On Award (which hilariously enough is a cutesy Japanese manga cartoon)
3) nominate 15 blogs that make your day.
So here goes!!! Dum-da-da-dum-da-da-dum!!!!!! That’s a drum roll, as it were!!!!
In no specific order:
1) Bite Size Canada – Canadian trivia and history in bite size chunks! I’ve learned so much about my new country from the website!
2) What I’ve Found – My buddy Michelle who I’ve met through this blog. She writes! She hikes! She loves sci-fi!
3) Beyond Paisley – Hilarious everyday observations, retro cooking + love for things that are so bad, they’re good!
4) Waterfalls and Caribous – The most entertaining Kiwi couple traveling the world, eating amazing food + making me laugh all the way!
5) Airplanes and Treadmills – A US expat like me! Great running + fitness tips!
6) Caitlin Clarkson Illustration – Beautiful, dreamy, whimsical illustrations!
7) Canadian Hiking Photography – Seriously breath taking nature photos mostly taken in the Canadian Rockies. Check it out!
8) Northier Than Thou – From the far reaches of Alaska – observations on politics, Native American issues, religion – you name it!
9) California Pixie – The Queen of Kitsch!!! Amazing retro collection, tutorials on upcycling your thrift bargains + some surf culture thrown in!
10) Mike Schultz Paintings – Super crazy talented artist based in Portland, OR
11) Dawntless – My old pal Dawn who I met in the trenches of the film industry – she is sassy!
12) The Blonde Coyote – Freelance science and travel writer who hikes all over the world + has her own teardrop trailer. Love it.
13) From Poutine to Arepas – a Canadian expat in Venezuela!!! Sunshine, avocados + mangoes! Yes!!!
14) Anna’s Appetite – Restaurant reviews mostly in Calgary + Vancouver – covers a ton of places I’ve always been curious about!
15) Project Palermo – Amazing DIY projects, handy with power tools + a great aesthetic. Need I say more?

Super awesome Shelli – and thanks for the nomination! I think after being here for 2 months, I’m safe to describe my blog as the Seinfeld of the bloggosphere…sometimes funny, sometimes not, but always about nothing in particular. PS. I never realized how big the Japanese-Canadian culture was in Vancouver..though the last time I was there I was like…4?
HAHA!!!! GREAT ANALOGY!!!! I miss you Dawn!!! Are you still coming up for Seawheeze?
