January Favourites

Hiiii! :)

I cannot believe January is over, it went by ridiculously fast. Everything is moving so quickly with school and hockey and everything else that's going on. But I figured that since it is the end of the month, it would be appropriate to do a January favourites (plus I haven't done a monthly favourites in a while :P) So here we go....


My first favourte would have to be the Naked 1 palette. I have been using this a lot and it is just so beautiful. The only colour that I'm not too fond of is sidecar since there is a lot of glitter fallout (It makes me look like a disco ball), but the whole palette is just marvelous. The eyeshadows are so pigmented and beautiful and I am very happy with this. I really want to purchase the naked 3 palette as well :)

I have also been loving this Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. It is a matte bronzer and ohhh my goodness it smells like chocolate!! I am 100% a chocolate fanatic, so this product is just the bees knees (ahaha):P  I basically wear this everyday and it doesn't look muddy at all. I absolutely love it!

I have also really gotten into the Revlon lip butters. I kind of put off trying these because I had tried similar products that were said to be like these that I did not get on with. Finally I decided to try them and they are amazing!I have berry smoothie, which is a really pretty pink colour with some glitter in it, and pink truffle, which is a gorgeous nude colour (and I find it had a lot less glitter/shimmer). They feel like a lip balm, but the colour pay off is a lot better than a tinted lip balm. I have been using these a lot, even if i'm not putting makeup on.

I have also been obsessed with Essie's nail polish "Devil's advocate". In the winter months I love using darker colours on my nails and this one is so gorgeous! I find when my skin is paler, these darker colours look really nice. I realize it looks black here, but it is actually a very very dark purple colour.The colour is hard to decifer sometimes , but I adore it!

When it comes to makeup removers and cleansers I can be very picky, and there are many products that just refuse to take my makeup off, but Bioderma is fantastic! It removes everything, and it honestly feels like water. I just put some on a cotton pad and rub it all over my face and eyes and it takes everything off like a dream:)

Another favourite would have to be the Body Shop's coconut body butter. It just has the most wonderful coconut scent and it  is so hydrating. I bought this massive tub in the summer and kind of stopped using it once school started, but this month I have been using it sooo much. Plus the smell reminds me of summer which is always nice!

And you probably all know about my candle obsession....but this candle is divine! It is Marshmallow fireside from bath and body works and that is exactly how it smells. It is just such a nice, comforting candle and it isn't overwhelmingly strong, so I don't get headaches. It's almost all gone which makes me sad but I do have another candle to use afterwards.

As for books, I have been reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I have read this book numerous times and I read it again this month. I just love this book so much. It is set in the early 1900s in Brooklyn and is centered around a young girl named Francie, and it talks about different aspects of her family's life as she grows older. Her family has very little money and there are plenty of struggles that they face. This book is amazing and I have to say it is one of my favourites. I would highly recommend it.

 This one many people may disagree with but I have been loving the snow!! Yes we got more, A LOT more and I am thrilled. It just makes everything look so beautiful! I know many people want gone, and I am looking forward to spring, but there is just something so magical about snow and the winter time. And don't worry, I have been tobogganing a lot the past couple of months ;)

That is it for my favourites this month, I hope you all have a wonderful day, and let me know what you have been enjoying lately,

Tea Party

Hiiii! :)

I had such a lovely weekend and I was quite sad that it had to come to an end. On Saturday, my two friends and I had a tea party. It was at my friends house which is just such a beautiful place. She lives in such a nice area, and it was so peaceful there.

When we got to her house after having run some errands, her mother had set up a table with juice and finger foods and tea. It was so wonderful!

It was a beautiful day and so we just sat out there for a little while eating our yummy treats and drinking our tea. I really enjoyed spending time with two of my very best friends.

I looooove fruit!

We had delicious cucumber sandwiches, danishes, brownies and blueberry scones

Mmmm so yummy!

My Wonderful friends<3

A pretty little Blue Jay came to visit

 

I really do love tea party's and hopefully my friends and I have another one soon,

I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Sushi!

Hiiii! :)

I feel like all I have done today is sleep and eat. One of my best friends stayed over last night and we stayed up pretty late (well early I guess) watching movies and going on Youtube and such . We drifted off to sleep when the sky began to get lighter, so we slept in quite late (until lunch time). 

Whenever we are together we always say how we want to go get sushi somewhere because we both like it. To be honest I just like any type of food! Today we decided was the perfect day to get some. We had nothing to do in the afternoon, plus it was raining and cold, so  it wasnts really a day we wanted to spend outside. We got ready and headed out to get our long awaited sushi! There is a place near us called The Villa. It is this little Japanese restaurant and I had never actually been inside it before.

My friend and I both got the same thing and we got dumplings as an appetizer as well. For drinks we got Japanese green tea which was lovely and with the meals we also got a little bowl of salad and some soup. The soup had tofu and seaweed and other stuff in it but it was soooo tasty and it just warmed me right up! It was actually a lot better than I expected. The salad was delicious as well. It had this orange dressing on it that I had never had before and it was very good. Actually all the food was absolutely delicious!There was shrimp and crab and rolls with avocado and more. It was wonderful.

Now the soup and salad may not appear to be that tasty but I assure you they were! I promise :)

There was actually a substantial amount of food, and we ate it all!

I thought the tea pot was just so pretty!

Now there was one problem.... the only utensil that we were given were chopsticks. Now I don't use these very often (hardly ever) so I struggled quite a lot. My friend, who actually knew how to use chopsticks, thought it was hilarious. It was kind of humorous I must admit, although I did make a mess of the table and myself. I splashed soy sauce everywhere, my sushi rolls broke into pieces, rice fell every which way! Luckily we went in the middle of the afternoon so we were basically the only people at the restaurant at this time so no one else saw my chopsticks fiasco!

All in all it was such a fantastic afternoon, despite the dreary weather. The food was delightful, and it was nice just chatting and having fun with my friend. It was a lovely day and it was actually relaxing too. Also my friend got a phone call for a job interview which is extremely exciting so my fingers crossed for her! :)
I hope you all had enjoyable days as well!
