I Love Sundays!

Hello!
Monday is arriving, but we're ignoring that today and enjoying today!
Here's what I've been loving today :)

 1. The best wings I have ever made!  Boyfriend agrees.

 2. The Vanilla Bean Marshmallow candle that is now sold out at our Bath & Body Works thanks to Boyfriend and his Mom buying the rest of them.

 3. A fresh batch of peanut butter and chocolate oat bars for lunches for the week.

 4. My comfy red chair that I live in. Can you tell?

5. The spooky view from our place. I love that fog rolls in at night here.

What are some things you've been loving this Sunday?

Am I the Only Boring One?

Hello everyone!
That was quite the blogging break I had.
I need to work out a system where I can write three blog posts in one day and have them scheduled to come out because life gets busy.

I haven't had much of anything to write lately.
I go to work, come home clean and eat dinner then go to bed rather early.


I'm waiting for June.  June will be more exciting.
Summer begins, three albums I want come out, those being Florence & The Machine, Mumford & Sons and Of Monsters and Men.  A book I would like comes out and Sephora opens.
Pretty exciting, right?

I have no plans to go anywhere in the next couple of months, I've been thinking of vlogging again (which might happen next weekend because it's a long one).

I feel as though I'm not that interesting to watch/read/listen to, but my boyfriend says that there will be at least one person out there that finds what I do interesting or different from what they do, which is probably true but who wants to watch someone clean or put away the dishes?
It'd be more interesting if I had kids or friends I suppose, but I have neither.

Any suggestions on how to be a more interesting blogger/vlogger?

#1, probably stop writing about how boring I am and convince you how exciting I am...

Have a great weekend!

Another Year Older, Another Year Closer to Being Thirty

Hello All!
I recently had a birthday and thought I would do a little reflection post on the past year.

I've accomplished a fair bit in this past year and I must say that I am proud of myself.
I graduated college with a certificate for a Medical Lab Assistant.
I started my career and have almost been there for a year!
My boyfriend and I finally found a place to call our own and enjoying loving/hating being "real adults" now.

I now have a sister-in-law and found out a month ago that I am going to be an Aunt this year!

I don't think much else happened in this past year, but it's been a pretty great one and I hope this one is just a great!

As for my birthday this year?
Boyfriend made pancakes and we had his parents over in the morning for a little celebration. We then headed to The City for some exploring and shopping.  When we got home I finished icing my cake and then went for dinner with my parents.  In the evening we had everyone over for cake and I finished off the night with a bubble bath!
Pretty awesome way to spend your birthday if you ask me.

Have you recently had a birthday or have one coming up soon?

New Beauty Buys

Wow, March already.
It's crazy to think in a week I will be twenty seven years old.

So, we're still not quite finished moving in.  The majority is complete, but I still have some things at my parent's house that I've been too lazy to deal with.
We have a chair that should be here in a couple weeks and still have to decide on a couch.

Meanwhile I have been trying out some new things!

I recently bought the Bite Beauty 5 Night Fix for Lips which includes a cherry flavored scrub and their original lip mask.  This has been quite nice on my dry lips, but I'm not sure if I would purchase either again as I've tried alternative that work in the same way.  The Living Proof Instant Texture Mist is another one I decided to try as I've been on the hunt for a texture spray and I don't think this is quite what I was going for.  I purchased the smaller size, unsure if I would like it or not.  I've been wanting the Oribe dry texture spray to try but no where around here sells it and I can't find it online to buy (Canadian shipping).  I hate the spray nozzle on the Living Proof one, but I do get quite a bit of volume from it so that is a huge plus for me.  Maybe one day I'll buy the larger size, unless I find something else that I like. Anna at ViviAnnaDoesMakeup uses the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5 in 1 treatment so I bought Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5 in 1 treatment.  I actually really like this stuff.  I don't use heat on my hair often, so it's in pretty decent shape but this makes my hair better.  I don't know how to explain it.  It's just smooth, shiny, no frizz....just good hair but better.

I recently received The Benefit Cosmetics prive Topbox for my February box.  Topbox is a Canadian subscription beauty box and in my opinion it is the best one out there.  I think with taxes in I pay just over $13.  In that Benefit box I received a sample of the new Roller Lash.  I have a new mascara love.  I usually use my Dior Addict-a-lash, but the Roller Lash has shoved that aside at the moment.  I honestly thought that it was going to be gimmicky, but the separation and length I get with this mascara is unbelievable.  Definitely going to be my next mascara purchase when I run out.
I feel like everyone and their dog have been using Too Faced's Hangover Primer.  I didn't know what to expect when I bought it but I had to try it.  I love the coconut smell and it feels so light yet moisturizing on my face.  I don't know about makeup going on any smoother because I don't use foundation, but it is definitely a good one to use when you haven't had a good night's sleep.
The Peter Thomas Roth Un-wrinkle Peel Pads intrigued me.  I'm all about preventing wrinkles and anti-aging skincare.  I do enjoy these but I'm not sure if they really do anything or if it's my sample of Sunday Riley's Good Genes helping my skin. I think it's the latter.  Will I purchase again? Maybe.  But I would prefer to splurge on Sunday Riley's Good Genes (I'm in love with my small sample and am terrified everyday that it's going to be my last pump.)

The last things I purchased are from FTBbeauty.  I have been in need of a full brush set.  I wanted the Zoeva rose gold ones so bad, but I couldn't justify the price point...okay more like I didn't want to pay the shipping cost.  So I searched for some rose gold or even copper brushes everywhere and came across these ones from BH Cosmetics.  They are so soft and I haven't had any hairs fall out, definitely a good buy!  Next I noticed they also sold Beauty Blenders, I usually buy the Quo version from Shopper's Drug Mart but I haven't been able to find them and mine are starting to look pretty beat.  So, I made the investment in the Beauty Blender Pro (double pack).  The Quo sponges are good, but these are awesome.


Have you tried anything new lately?
Any recommendations?
Enjoy your Sunday!
