Humpday Happenings...Update

Hello Everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Quick update of the last few weeks! So sorry for not being consistent!

Cookies from the old man for Mother's Day

Shopping at Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart

Tarteguard 30 Sunscreen Lotion

St Tropez Mousse

St Tropez Mini Tanning Mitt

* Shoppers has a spend your points this weekend so I'll definitely pop by the beauty boutique and grab a few things!

Also ordered this brush to start dry brushing and prep for my tan...

Quick update on my recent splurges from Sephora:

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Love the Giorgio Armani fluid sheer (I add this to foundation or use it on top of foundation. Although I find it doesn't blend as nicely when it lays on top), liquid shimmer (I use this to contour and darken my foundation) and lastly the bronzer which I use as a blush. For some reason though GA's foundation doesn't work for me. I can't recall exactly why I hated it as it's been a good 5 years since I tried it lol, but I know for a fact it didn't look good. I went with Estee Lauder double wear instead for the event I was attending. The finish looked much nicer on my skin, and it photographed beautifully!

Humpday Happenings...

This is a long overdue update...

First breakfast of 2015...

enjoying some home cooking: Ina Garten's Herb-Baked Eggs Recipe...

finished off Book 3 of the Arcana Chronicles...Dead of Winter

New recipe I found that I've made 3x already...

First time making blueberry pancakes...(thinking of you Ian!)

satisfied a craving...(thanks D!) purchased from Thu Hien Restaurant

As you can see I've been mostly keeping myself busy with breakfast, lunch and dinner and I can safely say no more rookie in the kitch! Still lots to learn, but I've come a far way! Hope you've been able to add some delish recipes to your repertoire as well!

Humpday Happenings...Make it Show

Tag Blanket - Gracious Gowns and Gifts

Bunny - Bird on Elephant (They had the most darling ballerina's but a lady right before us purchased the last one :( )

Elf Ornament - PLC Originals (we went nuts at this booth, so many to choose from)

Leggings and Infinity Scarf - Little Citizens

Banana Cream Pie - Vancouver Pie Hole (I was dreaming of this pie, went back for more but they were sold out :'( )

Coconut Crispies - Chickadee Family Bakery ( These were sooo addicting, I came back for 2 more bags and 1 mookie)

Dried Blueberries - Lake Country Harvest

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. This past weekend we spent it shopping at the Make It Show. We purchased our tickets from Groupon and it was valid for 4 days. Event parking was $10, and it was super busy. Be sure to wear your walking shoes, as there was a lot of walking from the parking area and around the show. I love that everything is made local and hand made. Excited for next years show!

Humpday Happenings...Breakfast

As the weather is changing to cold and dreary I've been staying at home more often, with not much to do but bake or making something food related...

fresh out of the oven- plain croissants and milk chocolate croissants (I use the store bought Pillsbury croissants and use my filling of choice) 

 plated with butter and strawberry jam

quick breakfast- microwaved eggs, avocado, and hummus

- detox water and banana

ingredients for the salted butter chocolate cookies

dough is done and ready for fridge...

Another easy breakfast with egg omelet, avocado and mango

As you can tell there's a lot of breakfast! That's because it's the easiest for a novice like me, that and I'm usually quite motivated in the morning! Feed me lol
