Welcome to my new blog series: Or Nah?™️ Where I'll be doing a deep dive/analysis into specific archetypes from popular culture! Whether you're looking to catch a fuccboi red-handed, or downplay your own fuccboi-bility (see what I did there?) read on! Disclaimer: Based on my own ethnographic research, field notes, and/or personal experience. Fuccboi or Nah? That is the question. Most claim to know a fuccboi when they see one. But do they really? Now, I do realize it's almost criminal of me to homogenize every eligible, single & looking bachelor into one or more subtypes but hear me ..read more

Image Source It's been exactly a month since I weaned myself off of Adderall XR 25 mg, and I've been surprisingly productive since. Stimulant withdrawal is all too real, but I'm being honest when I say: I haven't experienced any withdrawal symptoms whatsoever (at least not to my knowledge?) I guess I'm lucky in that regard. Or is it because in those with ADHD, withdrawal symptoms are less discernible in that Adderall doesn't affect them to the extent in which it affects the non-ADHD brain? You know what I mean? It's less of a drug to us neuro-atypicals. That's not to say it's not one helluva ..read more

Ah, the decorated winter coat that is the Super Puff. Worn (or is it endorsed?) by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Sofia Richie, amongst others. Available in a host of colours and textures, spotted in Canadian cities everywhere. Arguably better than Canada Goose (yes, I said it.) I wore a Canada Goose Kensington day in and day out for 5+ years, and let me tell you...Canada Goose ain't got nothing on the ethically sourced Super Puff! Leagues warmer, hundreds of dollars cheaper...Canada Goose, who? This Boxing Day, I had my eyes set on one thing - the Tna Super Puff. While I w ..read more

Bougie? Sue me. Practical? Hardly. Time Efficient? Truly. Us thick/long-haired girls know...the process of washing one's hair can extend anywhere from an hour - up to two hours. From washing, to deep conditioning, to combing out the tangles, to blow-drying, to styling. An exhaustive process if you ask me. I had resorted to settling for a beanie or having bed-head on an almost daily basis. The mere thought of having to tackle the daunting task that was washing my hair had me avoiding it altogether. Not only that, since having my hair dyed...and dyed again, I came to realize that the water ..read more

TW: Suicidality, Depression, Mental Health Hey, everyone. Selina here. It's been well over a year since I last blogged. Hope you still remember me. Despite the seemingly good times (dying my hair various iterations of blonde/silver/pink, raving, new friends,) 2019 was one of the hardest. Changing my hair was probably a coping mechanism, if anything. It's been a year since. Why am I back on here? I lost so much of myself this 2019, Vancity Noms included. I put Vancity Noms on the back burner. A year or two back, could one divorce Selina Lo from the blog that was Vancity Noms? I think not ..read more
