September Love List

//waiting for the ferry to Victoria//

What I Watched: The season premier of Survivor and the finale of Big Brother. I've got a thing for CBS reality TV, it's my little escape throughout the week. Brandon hates both of these shows so it ends up being "me time" snuggled up with a cup of tea. I think the finale of BB ended perfectly and I'm super excited for this "all-star" season of Survivor, although c'mon people you voted out Vytas before Abi!!!?

What I Snapped: Bear lounging. He seems to take after me and needs/wants all the soft fluffy things.

Who I Loved: I recently fell in love with CellaJane. Her style is so effortlessly chic. She's been giving me some great fall inspo.

What I Wore: Sweaters! Since the temperature has started to drop, I've found it so cozy to rock a big baggy knit sweater with leggings when I'm lounging around the house. My fav is a few years old but this one is similar.

What I Did: Picked up my fitness game. I'm thinking October is going to be a great month exercise wise simply because I got my groove back this month! Well, definitely towards the end of it haha. I've been rocking some great playlists and challenging myself with new sets and cardio. Bring it on!

What I Ate: Tapas! Two nights in a row we had the pleasure of enjoying a variety of tapas this month. From mussels, to yam gnocchi to flank steak everything was so amazing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

What I Drank: Yorkshire Tea. at night in a tea-cup with lots of milk. mmmmmm

Where I Went: Brandon and I headed over to Victoria on Vancouver Island one weekend to visit his sister and her boyfriend. It was perfect weather and it was so nice to catch up with such a beautiful couple. We had lots of laughs, drinks and food (too many of one of those) and when we left I was already looking forward to the next visit!

What I Heard: Drag Me Down - One Direction. I've shamelessly listened to these guys for a few years now but if their past albums didn't do it for you I'd highly suggest giving this song a listen just to witness their development. Its a great tune and is a fav for the car ride to the gym.

What I Used: I've been baking up a storm as of late and have been loving my KitchenAid mixer. 1000x easier to mix and somehow cookies taste better!? Plus I'm obsessed with the splatter of white flour against the Royal Blue colour of mine. #housewife

How did your September go? Any favourites this month? See my August Loves here!

 

August Love List

 

As I mentioned in this post last week, I'm crazy obsessed with Youtubers lately. Especially the British beauty vloggers. My sister and I often talk about them as if they were close friends of ours (no shame). One of those Youtube/Bloggers is Victoria from Inthefrow. She recently did a video titled August Love List. And I thought it would translate well into a blog post so here goes! 

 

What I Watched: The entire first season of True Detective. Holy moly, I still don't understand how I become so invested after only 8 episodes but I'm not ready to say goodbye to Marty and Rust.

What I Snapped: My favourite picture was of one of the Joffre lakes at the peak of our hike a few weekends ago in Whistler. Find the photo here.

Who I Loved: Mi familia! This month was full of family camping, hangouts and get togethers. I feel so lucky to be surrounded (and related) to such amazing people!

What I Wore: I've been loving these boyfriend jeans (called girlfriend jeans) lately and love to pair them with casual t's or dress them up with flowy tanks.

What I Did: Our Scenic Rush day for sure! It was just so beautiful and I loved seeing Brandon's excitement. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

What I Ate: Can I say too much? haha

What I Drank: Rickards Radlers became a summer fav, because of their light sweet taste. Perfect for patio sitting and sunset watching!

Where I Went: Camping in Whistler with the whole family and dogs was a favourite trip this month. It was casual but fun. We saw some beautiful spots, ate some amazing food and had plenty of laughs.

What I Heard: My favourite song this month was a tune that I found on a workout playlist and it seemed to get my ass in gear when you need that little pick me up!  Waiting All Night ft. Ella Eyre - Rudimental. Have a listen here!

What I Used: I'm currently using Laroche Posay Effaclar face wash in an attempt to clear up my face and after 2 weeks of use I am actually noticing a difference! Still not crystal clear but I do know that it is a process. Stay tuned as I plan to post a review after a month of use!
