Spring Decor and Your Opinions

Blogger friends, I need your opinions! My dining room has been the 1 room that has made me crazy since the day I moved in! It's a long room and I always feel like it looks empty. However I'm also not one to over crowd a room.

I'm thinking of adding 2 chairs and a little round table in the window corner and also thinking of getting curtains... This is where I need help.... I'm no fan of curtains, especially with a furry cat that thinks the dining room belongs to her. We also lovee the natural light our house brings in, during the day, not 1 light needs to be on because of all the natural light.

But do you think Curtains here will complete the room more....? Take a look...

What do you think???

Yesterday I was out shopping and I found some spring items for my home, look how cute this vase is, it 50% off too, so I like it even more haha!
And of course I found a HOPE rock. It think it's for the garden ha! But for now it's on my kitchen counter.
Can't wait for your input... Curtains... No curtains...

Do you Loofah?

The weather here has been getting warmer and I'm loving it!! I can't wait to bring out the capri's and sandals. The Sun feels so nice, can't wait to get a little tan too! Come on Summer! Haha!

I blogged about body scrubbing before but I never labeled it, I'll use the same pic anyway.... But ladies if you don't loofah, you should! I use this loofah (I bought this one at Winners, but you can find them in any dept store) I use it every time I shower. Then when I come out of the shower I lather on my favorite cream. I use any firming cream or cocoa butter cream. Trust me your skin will thank you! Your skin will be so soft and It also improves on circulation too. So if you haven't done this before, try it out :) I have a mini one for my face, I only do my face weekly and I love it.


Hope you are all having a great week so far!

I had an amazing weekend!

We had beautiful weather this weekend! Yesterday I started the day with spring shopping! I bought some clothes to get started, but I'm not done! I'll be out shopping again this week. After shopping, we went to High park for a walk, then to dinner in the Junction to my fave Thai restaurant!
Yum!

Today I had my cousins bridal shower at the Four Seasons DT Toronto. I wore this dress and blazer I got at H&M :)

This was our view from our table! It was cloudy in the early afternoon, but the sun came out and the rest of the day was gorgeous!

Food was delicious there!

The shower was beautiful and we had an amazing time with family and friends.


My sister made these cupcakes with white chocolate heels, how cute are they!

Hope you all had nice weather and a great weekend!

So happy the weekend is almost here!!!

I had such a relaxing few days off. Having cat naps in the afternoon is something that should be mandatory haha! I miss being home. I was back at work Wednesday and boy was I tired! I'm soo glad the weekend is almost here!

And it's getting warmer too!


I'm excited for Spring!! But it also means... Spring Cleaning inside and out. I decided to start this weekend! It's time to make room for the lighter clothing :) . I love to use the seasons to donate to Goodwill too, so hopefully I can gather up a lot.

We also need to clean up the outside too and get the backyard prepared for some new pieces.

I can't wait to see the flowers bloom! Yay Spring!

Have you started your Spring Cleaning???

Tuesday Rambling

I've been off work for a couple days, nothing special just me time. It's been so nice and relaxing. I'm sitting watching TV and blogging while snacking on fruit... Oh boy I could get use to this.

I also decided to throw together veggies and chicken into the slowcooker for some delicious chicken soup. It's smelling soo good! I set it on low for 8 hours so it will be ready for dinner tonight :)
My SIL always send me pics of my goddaughter, she is just too sweet. Yesterday she wiggled off her mat and ended up under the chair. She was stuck and was getting so frustrated hahah! look at her face, poor thing.
I could just squish those cheeks!

This is a pic of me when I was a baby (haha!) I think baby M has my cheeks ;)
Hope you all are having a good week.

I'm dreading going back to work tomorrow.... sigh....

A Sunny Friday

At least there is no snow in today's pic. Now all we need is the trees and flowers to bloom and grass to grow and it would be perfect! But the sun is out and we can already feel the energy it brings!

I have a couple days off work and husband can work from home a couple times a week which is great. Today he is working from home so we went for lunch and coffee together...
ok so I didn't choose a healthy choice but some days a donut can't be so wrong, ha!

I've been working on my spring fashion list and boy is it getting long, I may have too many shoes on my list but there are just so many nice shoes out there.

First on my list are coach sneakers. Love these!
and these are on my list from coach too!...
Now I need to hit the malls!

My SIL just sent me this pic of my goddaughter... the cutest little face! Always smiling and laughing. Just made my day!


Hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!

This is spring?

Sick couple of weeks!

The past couple weeks it's been about fighting the flu here.

So we are making sure to get as many vitamins in us as we can!

Husband was really sick yesterday and is feeling a little better today. Having the flu is no fun!

Cooking at home this week is going well. I bought a lot of quick and easy type foods so I can still make dinner on those extras busy evenings. So far so good!

Dinner Tonight:
Baked Spicy Chicken Legs
Quinoa
Veggies and Salad.

Yum!

A Sunday In

Today I used my Sunday to catch up with household stuff and side biz stuff.

Today started great with my husband making us delicious lattes! We were tempted to go out for BF but decided that Sunday should be our day in. Today we made sure to cook all meals at home. For lunch I made oven baked potatoes and chicken and samosas on the side. I made brownies for dessert! And Applesauce too. YUM!
Yesterday I went with my sister to book her bridal shower for next year. Time really feels like it's flying and her wedding will be here in no time!! I can't wait!

After that we went for BF and with full bellies we then hit the mall. I bought new tights and a new colorful tank. I'm excited for this years fashion. I'm loving the long summer dresses and floral designs and the sandals. I have my eye on so many items and can't wait to get back to the mall, just need this weather to change!
It feels like we'll never get warmer weather here :( ... Last week we had a snow storm! and it's so cold too burr!... grr!
Go away cold weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also got another new item this weekend.... A new hair straightener!! My MIL is a hair dresser and ordered me this.
It's amazing! I love it! It goes up to 450F! yikes!

Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday. I'll be going out grocery shopping soon and planning this weeks meals. I'll blog about that during the week :)

Quick and Easy meals for the week

Some weeks I do so well and other weeks go out the door... the take-out door ha!

Like I've mentioned before, husband and I have busy schedules work during the day, then our side biz and events/hobbies after work, things can get hectic! So it's so important that I plan my meals (even though sometimes I do and things still come up/or we find a new restaurant we want to try so badly haha!)

So this week I wrote out my schedule and from what I foresee I know that I can make dinner at home at least 4x this week. The other thing is, planning for those days we get home later than usual because of work... so quick easy meals I can prepare is important.

For one, I love to bake most things, that way I get home throw it together, pop it in the oven and it gives me time to do any house chores before dinner and leave me my evenings for my side biz or American Idol! aahah!

Like this chicken and potatoes I cooked all in one dish yesterday.

I also bought a few of these frozen dinners...

No preservatives which is great and it's a quick meal on those days that I'm in the door later than usual.
It was yummy!

Set yourself up for success (Tony Robbins) by planning ahead!.... Now I hope I can get a couple good weeks in!

Do you have your dinners planned this week???
