Afternoon Delight

Hiiiii!!:) 

A few days ago I had a visit with a few of my favourite people in this world. I have known Katie and Emily since elementary school and I love them both dearly. Emily just recently had back surgery and so she wasn't up for a super long visit, but we stopped by her house for a little bit and it was so lovely. We had some tea and pastries and updated each other on our lives. It was a short but sweet visit and I am extremely thankful to have them both in my life!

yummy yummy treats! (we ate them all....)

The beautiful Katie!

Emily didn't want her picture taken but I got one!! (ignore my squinty eyes)

It was such a nice visit and I'm so glad we got a chance to see each other before we all get super busy! :)

I hope you all have a wonderful day and don't forget to keep smiling!!

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!

June Favourites

Hiiii! :)

It's hard to believe that June is already over, but I do LOVE July. So many exciting things happen in this month (such as my birthday). Since it is the start of a new month it is time for my June favourites. 

 My first favourite is my  Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick in 103. I have already done a post on this (HERE) so I won't go into much detail, but it is wonderful. It is not too crazy which makes it a nice lipstick to wear just day to day. I think it is so pretty.

Quite a while ago I bought a pair of high waisted shorts but I couldn't wear them since it was winter. Since the weather was nice in June I was finally able to wear them! I ended up loving this style so much that I bought another cheap pair. I just like how they look, they are very flattering. I have been wearing both pairs a lot and hopefully I will be able to get one more pair!

As you are probably aware, I love tea! Recently I have been really enjoying the Stash brand of tea and a few weeks ago I bought a vanilla nut flavour. Oh my goodness it is bloody delicious! It kind of tastes like a dessert and it is just so nice and comforting.  Plus it is Decaf so I can have it before I go to sleep. It is perfect!

Sorry the pictures a tad blurry!

 I have purchased numerous candles so I figured that maybe I should actually start using them. I began using one but it gave me a headache when I lit it, so I decided to use my warm vanilla sugar candle from Bath and Body Works instead. It really is a lovely candle. It doesn't give me a headache, and the smell isn't super strong but it makes the whole room smell amazing! It makes me feel so relaxed. I usually light it in the evenings when I am just watching a movie or reading a book. 

It's almost all gone!

This month I discovered the show Drop Dead Diva. I absolutely love it! It is clever and funny and I just really enjoy it. I think the acting is very good too.  It is about this aspiring model (Deb) who dies in a car crash and her soul is then out into the body of a plus size lawyer(Jane). The only people who know that Jane is really Deb is her best friend and her guardian angel. I have been watching it on Netflix and I am now on season two. I am completely hooked! :)

 Feel free to let me know what your June favourites were. 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!

Tea

     I just want to express my love for tea because it is just so wonderful. I have never liked coffee, ever. I just cannot drink it and I don't like the smell of it. So I drink tea instead and I love it. I would probably have to say it is my favourite hot beverage (well it's tied with hot chocolate).  There is just something about sipping hot tea from your favourite mug that is so relaxing. I find that it is perfect for any mood I am in, whether I am upset, angry, happy and so on. It can warm me up, calm me down, lift my spirits and just make me feel better in general. It is just the perfect drink. Usually food or drink related items that I like are bad for you (Chocolate is just so good!) so I can't have a lot at once, but that doesn't apply to tea. Tea is actually good for you which makes me extremely happy! I actually like to have chilled tea as well (iced tea) but more so with fruitier/sweeter teas.
      I'm actually really weird when it comes to what I drink my tea in, I can be quite picky sometimes. My family has a numerous amount of mugs, and I do use a lot of them, however there are a few that I definitely use more often.
    

Best Mugs Ever!!!

      Now I do LOVE my Harry Potter and Tinkerbell ones but my absolute favourite would have to be the soup one. My grandma gave us this one and we actually have two of them :) I am aware that is says SOUP on it but i really don't care, I use it for my tea! I cannot explain to you why I love it so much, I just do. The great things about these mugs is that they are all quite big which means more tea for me!! :D

     At the moment my two go to teas are Stash's Peppermint tea and Teavana's Wild Orange Blossom tea. They are both very different from eachother but are both so delicious! Now to be honest I only discovered this peppermint tea last week when I went to my friends house and it is hands down the best peppermint tea I have ever tasted! I instantly fell in love and went out and bought some for myself. It is just really refreshing, and it makes your breathe smell like peppermint! The Wild Orange Blossom is a more fruity tea and it smells heavenly. It's hard to explain but it has this wonderful citrus scent and it is just wonderful! When this tea is made it is actually a pinky orange colour which is really pretty! Now I don't usually put anything in my tea but I don't even think you need milk or sugar for this tea because it is so sweet already.

In case you hadn't noticed already, I love tea ;)

     I found this picture on Tumblr and it pretty much sums up how I feel about tea. I thought it was cute so enjoy! :)

     I hope you all have a wonderful day and feel free to leave any thoughts you may have below!
