Outfit of the Day: Snowstorm 13.12.2016

Today we had a snowstorm hit Newfoundland and I was so happy that we were staying at a cabin out around the bay during it. I can't imagine a cozier place to be that a beautiful cottage on the ocean during a snowstorm. There's a fireplace, a soaker tub, and huge windows and skylights to watch the snow coming down :)

We ventured outside for a little bit to take some pictures and explore the area. Here are some snaps from today:

















1. Toque (Canada Goose)

5. Leggings (Lululemon)
6. Sealskin Purse (Made locally)


Staycation: Ocean Delight Cottages December 2016

We had originally planned to go on a cruise this winter, but since I got pregnant we had to cancel due to concerns about contracting Zika virus down south. Since I cancelled the trip, I've been itching to go on a vacation but obviously our options were limited. So instead of going on a week long trip somewhere, we decided to just rent a cottage for two nights just to get away and relax for a little bit. Andrew and I love exploring Newfoundland and just going for quick little trips whenever we find time.

I found this place (Ocean Delight Cottages) online over the summer when I was googling cabins to stay at for a last minute trip. Unfortunately, the cabin I wanted was full so we decided to stay at Kilmory Resort in Swift Current, NL instead.

Ocean Delight Cottages is located in Whiteway, NL which is only about an hour away from St. John's. It's an ideal location if you don't want to travel too far from the city but are looking for somewhere to go just to get away for a little bit. There's a lot more to do around here in the summer than in the winter, but we were quite content with staying inside (especially, since we came here in the middle of a snowstorm) and enjoying the close up views of the Atlantic Ocean.

We chose to stay in the Cranberry Cottage which is their newest and biggest cottage. It is a beautiful A-frame with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen (it even has a dishwasher!), two decks, a private fire pit, BBQ, a soaker tub in the master suite, and a wicked view of the ocean.

I'd love to one day build a cabin of our own that looks just like this one.

Here are a few pictures of the cottage:















I'm sad that we're leaving tomorrow morning to go back to reality :( We had such an awesome 2 nights stay here and can't wait to come back next summer, hopefully! I would 10/10 recommend Ocean Delight Cottages to anyone looking for a short getaway from the city, or to tourists visiting the province :)

Here is their website for anyone interested:

Outfit of the Day: 06.12.2016 Fort Amherst

Today marks 17 weeks of pregnancy! We just had our third pre-natal appointment this week  and were happy to see that the baby is doing well and things are looking normal so far. He or she was moving around a little bit, not as much as last time but the doctor said the baby looked like a little swimmer :) Time feels like it's moving quickly (it's almost Christmas!!), but this pregnancy feels like it's taking forever. I'm sure I'll look back on it later and think that it flew, but it's so hard waiting because we're so excited to have a little baby to play with and watch grow up.

Today we decided to take a little drive to Fort Amherst and take a few pictures because the sun was starting to go down which made for a really cool effect in the pictures.

1. Hat (Urban Planet it's only $7.99!)

Baby Bump Week 16

I think this is the longest amount of time I've went without making a post, but I've been sick with a cold all week. It really sucks not being able to take any medications, but it's what's best for the baby so I just have to suck it up. I feel like I've been sick a lot this pregnancy but I guess that's what comes with pregnancy :/ Breathe-right strips and vick's have been my best friend lately lol.

Regardless of being sick or not, I had to force myself to get dressed and put some make up on to take these pictures or I knew I would regret not having them. But as soon as I was done taking the pics I jumped right back into my onesie and parked myself on the couch for the rest of the day.

Anyways, enough about me being sick. Here are my Week 16 Baby Bump Pictures:



The Bump has certainly grown a lot compared to the last 3 bump pics I've taken!!It's starting to actually look like I'm pregnant, and not just fat haha. However, it is still pretty easy to cover up the fact that I'm pregnant by wearing certain clothes.

We have our monthly doctor's appointment on Monday, so I'm pretty excited to see the baby again and make sure everything is still going smoothly.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

November Favourites 2016

I love seeing monthly favourites from other bloggers and YouTubers because it’s a great way to find out about new products :) I'm going to try and post my monthly favourites on a regular basis. Here are my picks for November 2016:

1. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation : This foundation is excellent for oily skin as it stays on all day/night without having to touch up. It's very buildable and is great for covering blemishes. I wear shade Desert Beige 2N1 (light to medium beige with warm neutral undertones). 

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Crush : This lasts all day and I find I never really have to reapply. It doesn't come off when eating or drinking and the shade is excellent for all skin tones.
3. Tarelette Eyeshadow Palette : The colours in this palette are so versatile and are pretty much all you need to create a basic everyday make up look. I use this every single day and the pigmentation is great and it stays on all day even without using an eye primer. 

4. Viktor and Rolf BonBon Couture Perfume  : This perfume smells so great and lasts all day. It smells a bit strong when you first apply it but that's how you can tell it's good quality and will have staying power. It's a very warm and sweet smell but is more sophisticated than other sweet smells like Pink Sugar. The notes are: Mandarin Accord, Peach Accord, Neroli Oil, Orange Blossom, Sambac Jasmine, Caramel, Sandalwood Accord, Patchouli, Vanilla.

5. Mac Prep + Prime Lip : I loooove this product so much. I always put it on before whatever lip product I'm wearing that day. It feels like a balm when you first put it on, but the trick is to wait for it to dry out a little bit on your lips and then it kind of makes them feel tacky then you apply your lip liner and lipstick and it will stay on wayyyyy better than if you didn't use it :) would highly recommend it if you haven't tried it.

6. Call it Spring Black Faux Leather Boots  : I've been wearing these boots pretty much everyday since I got them at 20% off day at the Avalon Mall. I got them at 30% off so I paid about $70 for them. They are lightweight and comfortable and go with pretty much every outfit. I'd say these will be my go-to boots for most of winter.

7. MacBook Air : I love my Macbook Air so much. I mostly bought it because I've had this itch to start a blog for so long and I knew the Macbook Air would be perfect for that. So far, I'm really impressed with everything about it and the price point was pretty reasonable :)

8. Snoogle Body Pillow : This pillow makes sleeping and relaxing so much more comfortable, especially while being pregnant. I'm not huge yet, so I haven't reaped the full benefits yet but anyone I know who's had a baby has highly recommended this pillow. It basically replaces the need for a boyfriend lolol jk Andrew.

9. Lays Classic Potato Chips : This is kind of a joke (not really :P) I decided that I would include my monthly craving in each Monthly Favourites post just so I could look back after my pregnancy and remember what weird cravings I had. I typically go for sweet stuff over salty, however, this month all I've wanted are plain chips. I never even liked plain chips before, they were actually the last kind I would ever choose, but for some reason plain chips are what I've been craving lately.
