This Weekend I.....

30 September 2013 No comments
It is after 8pm and I'm just sitting down at the computer to blog! This day was much busier than I thought it was going to be but it was all good stuff so I can't complain! I hope you're all having a great Monday!

Okay, weekend update time! This weekend was pretty laid back! On Friday last minute it was decided to take a drive to Antigonish and have dinner at Boston Pizza! It was a pretty drive because the leaves are starting to change and it was lovely driving down around sunset! Had a great dinner at Boston Pizza! Thai chicken bites are tasty! Also, might have had a nice little twisted rocket drinky! And of course I have no pictures to show you! 

Saturday, spent the day running errands and hitting up Sterlings for some fresh veggies and fruits! The weather was beautiful too so for whatever reasons I love running fun fall errands on such days! Even though it was warm it was fall errands because we got pumpkins for outdoor decorations! In the evening I headed to my cousin Amy's 30th birthday party! It was nice little gathering. She is a month older than me so I get to rub that in! Nice seeing everyone that was there and I got to see the babies of the family! I bet you wish I had a picture to you show how cute the babies were but yup I took my camera and phone but left both in my purse for the whole night! One of these times I will document my weekend!

Sunday was another beautiful day! I got some house work done, put my summer clothes away and just chilled because I didn't really have much to do! How was  your weekend? I hope it was great!

I have some fun ideas coming up over the next month because I have put it out there to some friends about guest blogs and I know these people will give us some great ones. Not sure when it is going to start but I'm hoping soonish :)

See you tomorrow for some Taste of Tuesday!

I will leave with this picture of the sunset tonight!

Beauty Wednesday! Drugstore Make Up Edition!

25 September 2013 3 comments
Happy Wednesday My Beauties! I hope you're all have a great week! This week I'm continuing with my beauty Wednesday series. This week we are talking about drug store make up! We all know sometimes the drugstore brands are just as good as the high end brands. Heck they are sometimes made by the same companies! So here are some of my favorite make up products!



Face Products:
 Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and Concealer: I got these products on the recommendation from Tanya Burr and Zoella. These two are two of my favorite beauty gurus and they rave about these so I decided to pick them but and I love them! They go on smooth, have good coverage and don't feel cakey! What more could you ask for!?

Maybelline Dream Lumi Highlighting Concealer: I use this for under my eyes because it gives a nice highlight and nice under eye coverage. 

Revlon Photo Ready Pressed Powder: This is my favorite powder because it gives a matte finish without being overly matte. I know I that sounds weird but I know some of you will get it!

Rimmel Bronzer: I honestly cannot tell you how many times I have repurchased this bronzer! I think I have been wearing it for over 10 years! I love the color pay off and how it isn't too shimmery! Because the older you get the less shimmery you should be.


Maybelline Great Last Clear Mascara: I use this for keeping my eye brows in place! I fill in my eye brows a bit and add this so they look good all day. 

Maybelline Falsies Mascara: This was also bought because of Tanya Burr and I have to say I love it! Makes my lashes look great! I have long lashes anyways but this mascara makes them look even longer and fuller!

Almay Eyeshadows: I love the pre-packed trios that give you the look without having to think about it! Sometimes you want to play with your make up but sometimes you don't. You just want to slap it on and go! This makes that so easy! Good color pay off and gives a nice application!


Maybelline Color Whispers: Probably my favorite new product from the spring/summer. I love how you can go from a sheer color to buildable deeper shade. They go on smooth and don't dry out your lips.
Rimmel Kate Lipsticks: Great colors! I have 102 and 107. The darker red one I got because of Zoella and this is such a great shade I think everyone should go and check it out in store! These are rich and creamy. Goes on smooth and doesn't dry out your lips too bad especially if you put some lip balm on under them.
Eos Lip Balm: just a great balm, perfect for under lipsticks and just by itself :)

I hope everyone is enjoying this series! Next week I think we will be talking about face care :)

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Emmy Fashions!

24 September 2013 2 comments
Today is Emmy Fashion Day! I know I should have been more on the money and had this post yesterday but really I wanted to make sure my choices were the right ones (in my opinion anyways). I know not everyone will agree with my choices but I'm going to give you my top 3 best and worst dressed. I could probably make a list longer than that but I think Top 3 is enough :) Enjoy!

Best Dressed


Elisabeth Moss: I love this dress because it is simple but it has that bling factor without being over the top. I love how she kept everything simple from her accessories to her make up. I also wish I could pull off this hair! No idea why I love it so much but I do!


Sofia Vergara: When does this woman look bad? Oh right never! I love this color and shape on her. She know how to dress herself! I love her hair because it is easy and doesn't look overly done. I also love her accessories. Accents the dress perfectly.


Tina Fey: Momma looks good! I love this shape on her and the color is perfect! The girls will look great too. Again, her whole look looks easy, it isn't over done because that is when Tina doesn't look good because she doesn't seem like that kind of woman who needs to her perfect all the time!

Worst Dressed


Lena Dunham: Where to start? I don't think Lena is ever going to make my best dressed list! I swear I have scrapbooking paper with this same print on it! Nothing about this look works for me! Maybe if it was solid or something! Yeah I don't even know what to say for this!


Melissa Leo: WTF??? Those pants! That jacket! Yup, someone didn't look in the mirror before she left the house!


Zooey Deschanel: I don't like this dress. I think it is too closed up for her. She didn't look comfortable to me. She looked great but I really didn't like this dress.

And there you go my fashion report from the 2013 Emmys!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!


Weekend Update!

23 September 2013 1 comment
Ready for the weekend baby! Oh wait it is Monday! How did that happen? This weekend flew by! And yup you got it right not one picture to show for it! I did take some pictures of some stuff I bought yesterday for instagram so you can check them out on the sidebar. I really need to get better at my weekend picture taking. And, yes I know I say that a lot!

Anyways, lets get back to my weekend! Friday, I went to see Prisoners with my family because my brother was home and we talked him into going to the movies! This is probably because none of his friends were home! Just kidding he likes spending some time with us. It was a nice evening out with everyone. The movie was good but I have to say it was long too long for me. I did like it but they honestly didn't have to make it 2.5 hour movie! Great acting in the movie though! On Saturday Erica, Chase and myself voted before we headed to Halifax to take Chase back and so we could check out Target, since it just opened on Tuesday. I got the cutest slippers from Target and they were only like $12. I could have gotten a lot more but I decided to hold back. The only thing I'm sad about is that they don't have ELF. I was looking forward to being able to get more ELF make up brushes since the ones I have are quite nice and totally doing the trick. We got to spend a nice afternoon with Chase shopping before dropping him off at his apartment. After that we went and did a bit more shopping and then headed off to dinner with my friends Danielle, Deena and Gavin. Erica's friend Johnny also joined us for dinner at Jack Astor's. It was great meeting up with them because I hadn't seen them since Danielle's wedding in August. Good food and good company! That can't help but be a good night! After dinner, me and Erica hit up Starbucks before heading back home.

First official day of fall and it basically felt like summer for most of the day! We decided to clean out Erica's car like cleaning it out, vacummed and taken to the car wash! It is all nice and shiny now! Other than that I didn't do much I have to say! I was being lazy and I liked it! haha I did watch the Emmys and I will have a Emmys' fashion post for you tomorrow.

I'm going to wrap this up now because I will just be rambling even more if I don't stop now. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Beauty Favorites: Shower Edition! Drugstore Products

18 September 2013 5 comments
Hey Lovelies! Today I have new fun series for you! Well I hope it is fun anyways! I'm going to be showing you what my favorite products are. This week we are starting out with what I love in the shower from the drugstore! And here they are...




There is my shower caddy with all my favorite shower products! Now, lets talk about them!


  • Finesse Shampoo and Conditioner: Yes I love these because my hair pretty much hates expensive shampoo and conditioner. This probably isn't a bad thing because I can buy $2 stuff and it makes my hair look and feel great!
  • Neutrogena Anti Residue Shampoo: I have fine/thin hair so I find that product easily builds up on my hair so once a week I use this shampoo to take all that residue off my hair! I love the smell of this too! So clean!
  • Olay Body Wash: I recently picked this body wash up but I LOVE it mainly because it smells amazing! It also leaves me feeling clean and soft. I smelled the other scents and they are nice too! This is on sale at Walmart right now but I'm not sure for how long. It is $2.79 or something like that.
  • Neutrogena Acne control face wash: I use this with the Olay face scrubber. I might get the Mia someday but for right now I'm good with the one I have. I like this face wash because it is great for controlling any break outs I may have and I don't find it drying! 
  • Gillette Venus Razor: It does it job and I like the handle of this razor. Also, I don't have a shaving cream in this photo because lately I have just been using a conditioner I didn't like for my hair!
  • Colgate Optic White Toothpaste: Yup I brush my teeth in the shower! This is just what I have right but I always have Colgate toothpaste 
There you have it my shower favorites! What are some of your favorite products? I'm always looking for new things to try so let me know :)

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
