Home For A Visit!!!

Hi Everybody!!

My friend Todd is home from Edmonton for a two week visit, and aside from hanging out last night and playing some games with a few other friends, we hung out for a little bit today and we went out for lunch. We went to Jose's, which has been completely renovated from the Jose's I knew when I was growing up and in high school when I would go there with my friends.

Lunch! Grilled Chicken and Avocado Panini with Sweet Potato Fries

Todd and I both ordered the same thing 

Dessert! Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis

Todd's Dessert! Peanut Butter Cheesecake 

We had a great time. I enjoy it when he comes to town for a visit. He's a very good friend of mine and has been for many years now. After lunch we just went back to his dad's house and hung out with his dad and stepmom. I only stayed for like 10 minutes. I had an appointment to go look at a house with Wayne. 

On that front, we haven't had much luck, and we're running out of time. But not losing hope. That's all I'll say about that. 

That's all for today! Thanks!

Tangerine Dreams!!

Hi Everybody! 

Today's post is dedicated to this very orange themed makeup look I did and subsequently LOVED!! I'm not one to wear different colours on my face, but I'm glad I did in this case. 

I re-dyed my hair yesterday morning so it's super red again ❤️ and I wanted something warm to go with the theme of my hair, and this is what I came up with! :) 

I used Jordana Cosmetics shadows in 'Pretty Peach' and 'A Classic' in the crease and lower lash line. 'Snowy White' is in the inner corner. Lorac Pro Mega shadow all over my lid in 'Apricot'. Ms. Chick blush in Tangerine, and Gerard Cosmetics lipstick in Tequila Sunrise.

I'm very happy with how it all turned out :). I would say the only issue I had was the way Tequila Sunrise oxidized. It's hard to explain but it seemed to get more and more orange as the day went on and I wasn't a fan of that part. But all in all I'm impressed with this. 

That's all for now!! Thanks for reading!!

Zucchini Pizza!!

Hi Everybody!! 

For dinner tonight I decided to make something somewhat healthy, but cheesy as hell at the same time. It's zucchini pizza!! 

I got a recipe off of Pinterest a while ago and I've used it before, but when I went back to the same pin that I used before, it led me to a completely different recipe, so I had to wing it; which I'm pretty good at considering I very rarely follow a recipe when cooking or baking anyway. 

I shredded 8 medium sized zucchini, salted and left them to extract the water for about 30 minutes. I then drained and squeezed it all out with a kitchen towel. I then mixed it all with shredded cheese and 2 eggs. When that was nicely mixed I spread the mixture on parchment paper on a baking sheet. I baked it at 400 for about 8 minutes and it turned out something like the picture below. 

I made a pizza sauce by using a can of tomato paste, water, oregano, and garlic powder and spread it over the zucchini crust. 

The toppings I used are red onions, sliced ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, and feta cheese. 

And this is what it turned out to look like when it was done and I was already eating it. 

It was extremely delicious, but time consuming. I'm for sure going to make it again, but after my body rids itself of all the salt it took in with this meal. If you have the ingredients, I highly suggest trying it out for yourself. You won't regret it. Neither will your mouth. 

That's all for now!!  Thanks!!

Break Time!!

          

Hi Everybody!!

Over the past week or so I've actually had time to meet up with a couple people for an afternoon beverage :)

I'm sure this isn't as exciting to you as it is to me, but I haven't seen these people for months. The first person I met up with is my cousin. He lives in Toronto, and I only see him a few times a year. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, so before he hopped on his train back to the big T.O., we went to Starbucks to catch up and it was awesome. 

We are very close in age, and we grew up living 3 houses away from each other, so it's sad that we don't see each other very often in a year. 

This absolute DOLL is Sylvia. I used to work with her at Target. I haven't seen her in at least a month, so I was very happy when our schedules permitted us to meet up for coffee last week. She was always one of my favourites, and I really hope we can get together more often. She has such a giant heart, and is amazingly caring; helping anyone and anything (animals) she can in any way she is able to. I really adore her.

Those are my coffee dates :) I hope to see both of them as well as many others very soon. 

PS. Words can't describe how fucking excited I am to hang out with April on Thursday. I haven't seen that beauty since my birthday a month ago.

Thanks!

Swatches!! Wet n' Wild & Gerard Cosmetics :)

Hi Everybody!

I picked up this palette a few weeks ago when I was sick and at the drugstore waiting for my prescription to be filled. All Wet n' Wild products were 25% off, so I paid less than $4 for this palette, which I think is a pretty awesome price considering how good the shadows are. This palette is called Comfort Zone. I'm convinced it's called that due to the neutral nature of all of the colours. It even comes with a dual ended applicator, with a sponge tip on one end and a brush on the other. 

What I didn't suspect is how fricken pigmented they all are!! The 'definer' shade in the left column and the 'crease' shade in the right column are so creamy that when swatched, the most product came out of those pans and I can see them breaking easily, though.

Obviously I didn't expect miracles from the lightest shade in this palette because it is very close to my skin colour. But I'm still very impressed with the other shades. 

I absolutely love the last shade in this palette. It reminds me of the Insomnia pigment from Makeup Geek because it's a brown shade with blue in it. So when you turn in different directions, you see a different colour than when it's flat in the palette. I'm very intrigued by it. 

Next are all swatches of all of my Gerard Cosmetics lipsticks. I posted about the 3 new shades I got when the website had their '3 for $29' deal, but these are just showcases of what they all look like. Their website constantly has bundle deals, and all of their lipsticks are crazy pigmented, so I'll be taking advantage of another bundle deal very shortly I'm sure. The shades I have are as follows:

Top Right: Fire Engine

Middle Left: Tequila Sunrise

Middle Right: All Dolled Up

Bottom Left: 1995

Bottom Right: Buttercup

I can't really imagine myself wearing Tequila Sunrise, but it's a fun colour to own!! I want more berry shades the next time I order I think. 

That's all for now! Thanks!
