Just Realized it is The Weekend!


Hi all & happy Thursday! 
I have been SO busy with writing papers and assignments the past few weeks I haven't had time to stop and take a breather. 

My new hunters came in the mail today (after my old pair ripped) so I thought it was appropriate to post a picture with them on - especially with this beautiful spring weather accompanying it!

Talk soon,

Happy Friday!

     The best day of the week has finally arrived! I have decided that every Friday I will be posting what I was loving in the midst of my busy school week. Things can get pretty hectic very quickly as a student, but it is most important to always do things that you love and keep you grounded - whether it is drinking a glass of your favourite wine with dinner to taking a relaxing hot shower at the end of the night with your most delicious smelling soap. Its so important to honour your body and mind when you're in university, and to surround yourself with as much positive energy as possible.


My favourite thing this week was these DIY face/body scrubs, the one is Green Tea face scrub and the other is Coconut Coffee body scrub. Not only are they super easy and cost efficient, but they work wonders on your skin. The green tea face scrub has gotten rid of some problem acne I was having this week and made my face feel and look so smooth. The coconut coffee body scrub has the same exfoliating effect but on your body - the more coffee you add, the more exfoliation you get! 

If you don't already know it, I am a total sucker for a good burger. Last weekend I was in Toronto and got the chance to have dinner with my brother, at a Vegan restaurant called Fresh. A burger lover at a VEGAN restaurant? You got that right, and it was probably one of the best burgers I have ever had! The "patty" itself was made out of almonds and other kinds of grains, topped with lettuce, tomato, cilantro, been sprouts and a thai peanut sauce. Ah-mazing! I need more now! 


Last but not least, my beloved morning coffee. Every morning I wake up a substanstive amount of time before I need to start getting ready for my day just to have my morning coffee, catch up on my social media and my blogs. There is nothing more peaceful than this in the mornings. 


So what are your top favourite things of your week? Have an amazing weekend!

Home.

I have been home for the past week and have to go back to school tomorrow. Not sure how I am going to leave this beautiful place.

Hopeless Romantic

Love. Affection. Laughter. Romance, I'm a sucker for it all, the biggest hopeless romantic. 

There is nothing I love more than being held and kissed by my man, eating or cooking delicious food together and even just being together and enjoying each other's presence. Of course, I do enjoy Valentine's Day and all the love that is spread throughout the day, whether it's a small gift, flowers or a romantic dinner for two. Nevertheless, Valentine's Day shouldn't be celebrated only once a year. Every day in a relationship should be Valentine's Day, every day should be spent loving your significant other and showing it to them. You shouldn't have to prove how much you love someone on one day of the year.  

I am lucky enough to be spoiled everyday by my man, and sprinkled with affection whenever he's around me. 

For our Valentine's Day this year we unfortunately won't be spending it together, but we celebrated early with a delicious Italian dinner at Nico's in Little Italy Windsor, followed by a bottle of wine and some cuddles and a movie before heading our separate ways this morning. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with romance, and you are reminded just how loved you are.

Nailed It.

There is nothing more irritating to me than seeing chipped, dirty, chewed up nails on girls. I think it may be because I worked at a restaurant for five years and could never have my nails done that I am totally OCD about them now. Experimenting with different polishes and colours is always fun for me.  My nails will always depend on the season or what I have going on that week. 
 Right now, my nails are currently this matte grey with a silver sparkle nail.


 
There is just something about a little sparkle that is just so girly and timeless. 

Salute, 
E xx
