A Trail Walk & Day-Off Comfy's!

Jul 27, 2012

Yup, here I am in all of my makeup-free glory and wearing my day-off comfy's. I'm not sure if this counts as an outfit post per se, it's more of a "hey, we went out for a walk and took some photos" kind of post. This is typical us on a day off - we usually head down to our favourite ocean-side trail, me with my camera + pooch in tow. And Martin does his favourite thing ever, long-boarding. It's our favourite way to unwind!
On a slightly more somber note. Ugh! I can hardly believe it, but I ended up back in the hospital with another allergy flare up. By the time I got there, my blood pressure was incredibly low, my breathing was laboured, and I was shaking. I was admitted for a few hours, given an IV drip, and the doctors think that should put out the fire for now, so to speak. I'm on bed rest this week - it seems if I try to do anything, I get pretty sick and light-headed. Now, the doctors don't think it's a food allergy, so they're testing my autoimmune response. So on that note, outfit posts might be a little sparse this week & maybe the next?! But I'll still be popping in, because I love being able to connect with you guys each week.
I thought I'd share a few photos of Martin longboarding. He's usually pretty suited up when he goes, since he loves to do lots of sliding and fun tricks. Total boy sport, right?! By the time he's done, he's usually pretty banged up. I on the other hand, am more of a "cruising on my bike" kind of a gal. ;) But it actually does look pretty fun, so who knows... maybe I'll give it a try sometime. Happy almost weekend, everyone!!

  12. That's so scary - I really hope they get this all sorted out and that you start feeling better soon. Yikes. But it seems like your taking some down time for yourself which is really great, and you look super cute in your walk photos.

  16. Oh no! So sorry to hear that you're feeling under the weather again :( Although I'm sure Scout is hard at work trying to cheer you up - that fuzzy little face of his gets me every time :) And I also have to say I'm so impressed when you appear without make-up on your blog. I'm a bit of a make-up junkie and can barely go to the grocery store without foundation on, so to me, even though I know millions of people do it every day, it seems very brave for someone to go without make-up. Although looking as lovely as you do, I can see why you do! Happy Friday!

  20. Okay, first off, makeup-free?? Girl, you don't need makeup in that case! Haha, you are just naturally beautiful :)
    I love these laid back photos. They are just as good as an outfit post!
    Oh dear, I hope you'll be okay...that does not sound fun at all. Hopefully they'll figure out what's going on!
    Also, I like that you included Martin longboarding. Haha, those are cool shots. This guy I'm getting to know longboards too and I tried it a little. They're actually a lot easier to balance on, at least compared to a skateboard.

    And if it's any consolation, you look adorable - with or without makeup. Sometimes, jeans and a tee is cute enough!
