We were in Ottawa early this week and after a fantastic stop at CTV Morning Live and Ottawa’s New Country 94 we had a bit of time to stroll through Byward Market.  I love downtown Ottawa because I always have such a great time when I’m there AND because so many of the buildings in downtown look like castles.

After both interviews we got to visit the Starbucks Reserve cafe, which is like a regular Starbucks but with alcohol and ice cream and it’s super vibey.  I’m obsessed with the Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte right now, and although I’m not convinced it has any pumpkin flavor it has a distinct spice that reminds me of fall.

We strolled around the market and enjoyed the beautiful weather that Ottawa is having right now after having one of the most fun mornings we’ve had while promoting Earthquake so far.

I received these jeans for review as part of being a Style Icon for Ivory Closet.  They are slimming jeans and while that’s true I think my favorite thing about them is how comfortable they are!

They look like jeans, fit like jeans, but feel like leggings, they are so incredibly comfortable that I’ve worn them while traveling hours for shows, but also for meetings and photos.  I hadn’t heard about Lola Jeans until I started working with Ivory Closet, but I’m so glad I’ve been introduced to them because they are such a thoughtful brand.

A portion of sales from each pair of jeans sold goes towards supporting breast cancer cure research and they also are so supportive of women in general.

Inside the pockets there is this manifesto about how all women a beautiful; a great way to start any day!  I’m wearing the Celina RB style, which you can find here: Lola Slimming Jeans and enter my code for 20% off – ICLOLA20

I wrote this song during a time when I felt like a part of my life was out of control and other people were trying to have a negative impact on me.  I wrote the song in January 2016 and I wasn’t sure it would ever be something that became a single.  But over the last year it has become more and more clear that Earthquake is something other people can relate to.  When it was finally decided the process of getting Earthquake ready took so much longer than my previous singles, almost 6 months.  Writing Earthquake reminded me that I can be the hero in my own story and that I don’t have to let external experience and other people’s actions have an influence on me.  My hope is that Earthquake can do for others what it writing it did for me; they can discover the power they have inside themselves.
