I've really been into smoothies lately and I've been meaning to make this one and share it with you guys on the blog, forever! Mmmm, chocolate and peanut butter, is there anything better?! This concoction was seriously amazing... I even had to wrestle it out of Martin's hands to get a sip. ;) I especially love that this recipe is super healthy as well as sugar free. I'm all about indulging but I...

AN AFTER WORK DATE

Feb 25, 2013

A trip down to the ocean was just what Martin & I needed. I don't know what it is, but the last few weeks have left me feeling so scattered. For March, I'd really like to get my butt in gear, and start fresh... new goals, create a blog schedule (it's been a challenge the last few months), change up my hair, finish decorating our place, and get out more with my honey. This winter in particular...

STYLE INSPIRATION

Whoo-hoo, it's official! I'll be dying my hair red sometime next week and I can't wait! But, I don't think I'll go as red as last time. I plan on choosing a semi-permanent colour, so it won't be a forever commitment. Perfect! Today, I'm still feeling under the weather, which means I'm doing one of my favourite "un-winding activities" and creating style sheets. I own the same or very similar items...

DREAMING OF RED HAIR

Feb 21, 2013

I'm feeling a little under the weather today, so as a result I've spent the day relaxing at home & sorting through old photos... and I dug these up. Wow, I can't believe they're from seven years ago. They were taken right after Martin & I got married. I have so many sweet memories from that summer. Getting engaged and planning our wedding was such an amazing time for the both of us. And...

It must be this cold weather we're having (brrr!) because I've been dreaming and diligently plotting our next getaway! I'm in desperate need of some glorious vacation time. We'd love to visit Gabriola Island, Sunshine Coast, and the Okanagon Valley come spring. I can't wait to indulge in all of my favourite down-time activities... the spa, massages, restaurants, wine, gorgeous ocean walks, and lots...

Outfit Inspiration & Friday Favourites

Hope everyone enjoyed a lovely Valentine's with friends or a special someone. I surprised Martin with a lovely dinner... I made pasta with a curry/lentil/goat cheese sauce. So good! We then ended it off with strawberries + melted chocolate and chilled on our couch. Kind of perfect, especially since I was recovering from a root canal. Ugh, right?! Oh the pain, and swelling. Not fun! Anywho, onto the...

Date Night

Just a few days ago, Martin picked me up after work for a quick & impromptu date. We decided to grab hot chocolate at Starbucks + some fresh strawberries and pineapple. As dusk set in, we sat in our car by the ocean with our dog squeezed in between us (aww!), chatted about our day and brainstormed on a few fun things we'd like to do together. We'd love to mix up our routine and try something...

Weekend Polka Dots

I'm pretty certain every girl should own a polka dot pencil skirt! Mine has been such a fun + worthy investment. It works seamlessly in my wardrobe and works great for pattern mixing too. I love pairing mine with floral patterns, animal print, or even fun & preppy stripes. What's your favourite polka dot pattern mix?! Come spring, I'm sure I'll be playing around with this skirt a lot. Yay, spring......

I served chocolate & pink frosted cupcakes, fresh strawberries, dark chocolate, and sparkling water infused with pink grapefruit....

Hello! I feel like it's been so quiet around here... it's been a busy, busy last couple of weeks. I've been buried in work! I couldn't resist popping in today though, to share my early Valentine's gift with you... my newly upgraded engagement ring. I've always loved the look of emeralds - they're so classic and I adore the clean lines. I've paired mine here with Stella & Dot's Stackable Deco...

Hello and happy Friday everyone! I'm pretty darn excited for the weekend. It's been a busy work week + I've been missing my hubby time. I'll definitley be making up for it this weekend though. Waffles, walks, and lots of fireside naps are absolutely in my future. Yes! What's your plan for the weekend?!... Last weekend, I had the pleasure of co-hosting a blogger gathering with my pal Lynn of Hearted...
