I'm rushing around today in preparation for tonight's girls Christmas party at a friend's house. We are having a potluck and a Chinese Gift Exchange and I'm suppose to be there around 6pm. So far I've done six loads of laundry and drank the shake above and still no idea what I'm bringing for food, nor what I'm wearing. Ack.
Since coming across the shake recipe last week, I've made it at least three times. This time I substituted Nutella (since I'm clearly obsessed) instead of honey, turning this into a peanut butter Nutella oatmeal milkshake (what a mouthful). Whaaat. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Have a great Saturday night!

Week 3 of the no-nail-biting 'project' | I wear my hair like this far too often
Christmas is around the corner, and every year, my Mom asks me to put together a wish list of items I'd like to receive. This doesn't mean I will get them all, but it's helpful for the shopper and exciting for the receiver to potentially get something they really, really want.
I've listed a few of the things I've included on my list, and a few that weren't (pssssst, the Etsy ones!) but are beautiful none the less. What you won't find on this list are expensive, unrealistic wishes (except the watch, it's pricey), simply affordable items from accessible stores.
Merry Christmas!
* A watch I've been covetting for almost two years.
* Pretty unique bangle (in gold).
* This is a black handbag I actually like (not an easy feat).
* Wedges I already own in another colour.
* A sweet dress in one of my favourite colour combinations.
* This cute but cheeky topper.
* Something polka dotted.
* A mannequin bust form. Anyone have a great link for one of these?
And, my favourite Etsy finds:
A beautiful long dress that is made to order so it could be long enough for me.
I love a good blazer (and this is custom).
Striped clutch.
An affordable rough diamond ring and another one that is channel set.
A cute topless winter hat.
Chunky knit cowl scarf (and that's the exact wording I used to search it)...
...and a softer version from the same seller.
I read this book in 20 hours. That is a record. And no I am not some crazy speed reader. I started it at 9pm on Friday and while away in cottage country, finished it by 5pm Saturday. It`s hard to put down, and a super easy read. My friend lent it to me, and it was laugh out loud funny. Literally, I was laughing out loud multiple times (surrounding people thought I was crazy... or reading a really funny book. I'm not sure).
The book is full of ridiculous stories, thoughts and advice. It`s 241 pages and includes everything from short chapters (140 characters) to long winded useless ramblings that while may be useless, made me laugh, so I guess they aren't so useless.
Verdict: Buy this book (or borrow it and save yourself $27 bucks) and laugh. Relax. Transport yourself to another realm. Enjoy.
Cottage country, 'nuff said.
Oh, and that's a banana nutella crepe up there from a few weekends ago, but it was too good not to include. Oh, and btw, I had never made crepes before that one, and they turned out so good (and they're easy!).
And one more thing: I'm so glad we don't have that much snow in the city... yet.
