Hello work week! Did everyone have a nice long weekend (if you were lucky enough to get one)? I had an uber relaxing and lazy weekend. Seriously, not much was done at all and while sometimes that's boring, it was quite nice to just sit around and watch YouTube videos for hours on end--that's kind of embarrassing to admit, but it was glorious--and have nothing more than hitting the gym and eating, be on the agenda.
Unfortunately on Friday I had a terrible headache which lasted a full 24 hours. I stayed home from work and spent most of the day in bed, moving as little as possible and taking Advil. I don't get migraines ever, but this is the second one in six months (weird?). It ceased as the day went on, but moving around made sure to tell me it was still ever so present. I whipped up a crepe for myself as an afternoon snack, which was delish.
Saturday, after the gym, I spent the day filming and editing my two most recent videos: my everyday make-up routine & my most recent vlog (August 27 - September 1).
I never wear flip flops as I prefer a more fashion-forward look with Gladiators but at the same time, they are so easy to slip on. This was after hitting the gym and I had forgot to pack my 'real' sandals but to be honest, I ended up just wearing these all day instead.
Outfit deets: unknown green chiffon top (from Ross in Florida, a couple years back), Material Girl floral chiffon top, Bench shorts, American Eagle (from Payless) flip flops & Gucci shades.
Breakfast at home every morning this long weekend (that's a first!) and it was pretty much the same each day (I'll save you the pictures), which works for me!
On Sunday night, we ventured out and had a make-shift BBQ at a friend's place...which turned into a random dance party, me doing a shooter that was lit on fire and a long session of the boys killing zombies.
...oh, and practicing our twerking moves for an upcoming annual party.
Monday morning...er...afternoon gym sesh. I ran out of tops so Marco lent me his H&M crew-neck tee. I rolled up the sleeves and tucked the front in my shorts to girl-it-up.
A cray rain storm on Monday afternoon which resulted in more YouTube watching, lying around and being lazy. Relishing in those last few hours of the weekend.

I'm a few days late, but before I say hello to September, here's a look back at August...
In August I rocked a romper--twice--for breakfast out with friends. I photographed my bestie's pregnancy announcement (adorable, right?) and celebrated her birthday with dinner, go-karting, ice cream cake and a huge giraffe.
I bought a new bikini, spent a solid two hours washing my car and shared a cool DIY with a Northern Reflections sweatshirt. I bought a cow-hide case for my new iPad mini, rocked one of my favourite outfits yet--which was totally a throw-on-and-go type look--and dressed as twinsies, by accident, with my man.
I went to El Camino for the second time, pulled a diva move and had an outfit change that night, went to a rooftop BBQ and stayed fairly consistent hitting the gym.
I rocked my new camo pants for a special evening out and the most important event that takes the cake, my nephew, Bentley, was born and I became an Aunt.
Hi guys! Welcome to another 'episode' (?) of my life. I love bringing you guys along with me for various day-to-day REAL LIFE events... sometimes there is nothing too crazy or exciting happening, but it's still fun to share and connect with you guys.
In this vlog I do a mad grocery shop, play in a softball tournament, make some sa-weeeeeeeet foods (fruit crepe, chickpea cakes, kale-avocado salad +more), I also share my thoughts on what it's like to film a make-up video, a cute outfit I put together and how much I. Hate. Packing.
Cheers & thanks for watching! xo
Things I mentioned in the video:
* Crepe recipe.
Music:
Connect with me!
I also create monthly videos for Place d'Orleans; check me out on their YouTube channel HERE.
* I'll be back tomorrow with a Weekend Recap since today is the Labour Day holiday! Enjoy your long weekend and keep up with me on my favourite social media (Instagram) for up-to-date
I've already shared snippets of my beautiful baby nephew, Bentley, on my Instagram & in a recent vlog, but as promised, here are a couple photos of my sister's little guy. He's such a looker, and while normally that would just be the biased aunt in me, he really is a good looking babe.
Holding him was such a treat, I didn't want to let him go when we got together last weekend. My little sister is a mother and although it was less than a year ago that she was getting married and celebrating her bachelorette, I know she's fully ready and excited to take on the newest chapter in her life and side note, I'm pretty pumped to be an aunt!
OMG, this was a difficult video to film. Big ups and shout outs to alllllllll my beauty gurus out there, girlllllllllll you be puttin' in WERK.
First off, sorry for the terrible lighting; I weighed out my options in my head after I filmed this and saw how terrible the lighting was (it was a sunny day, and I got all set up to film and it started to rain! UGH!). Option 1: cancel this entire video. Option 2: edit and upload it despite it being kind of crappy and at least get a video up.
So.
I chose option #2.
Hoorah? Please say hoorah.
Secondly, this is clearly not a tutorial. I shared the products I used in the video quickly, but I'm mainly just showing you my everyday face/make-up routine. I often use BB cream (especially in the summer) but used foundation for the sake of the video (bc sometimes I used that too :)
WEAR SUNSCREEN my friends. I rock this everyday, it's my moisturizer and SPF in one and goes on before anything else. I've been wearing sunscreen on my face and neck everyday for over six years and haven't been in a tanning bed for longer than that. PROTECT YO FACE.
Hope you enjoyed and sorry for the shoddy-ness...I had a ghetto-esque set up of boxes piled on top of each others to prop up a mirror and can I just say applying liquid liner on camera is next to impossible!? It is. Trust moi.
Okay bye.
