Sorry for the radio silence over the past couple days, I had a bit of blogger's block. Also, wanted to apologize for offending anyone in my previous video--oops, that was not my intention and I'll work on nixing that word. That said, there is no need to be mean, we can have different opinions and still get along. Let's spread positivity and enjoy our time here.
Onto the mid-week snaps! This week has been pretty boring, ha, but I thought I'd share a few photos I've taken. It's mainly been a mix of unpacking, running errands and spending time with some family. I'll let the photos speak for themselves...
Last night, my bestie and I went for pedicures. It was her first outting since having her baby and quite enjoyed. I'm not sure of the colour I'm wearing above, it's a plum-y colour from OPI and I forgot to check the name. I wanted a French pedicure but we went to a place I don't normally go to and they said they couldn't do it. #wahwah
The first piece of art is hung... and my birthday balloons are still going strong!
My parents are back from their month-long vacation in Florida and my mom brought me back a couple Elf blushes from Target. For some reason, we don't have Elf at our Targets in Ottawa and it's an inexpensive brand I like to experiment with.
I have been longing to wear these Shoemint lace-up heels for months, but they they felt so summery, even indoors. That said, I unpacked them the other day and couldn't resist breaking them out--it is the end of March afterall.
Here is the current state of the second bedroom. I've spent a good four hours chipping away at it, since you saw it last. Although it looks cluttered--and by all means, it is--it's starting to take shape and I can actually move around in there now.
And finally, a very special visit to my best friend's new baby last night. He's all of three weeks old and so teeny tiny perfect.

Get to know me a little better with a tag that's currently all the rage on YouTube; the Too Much Information tag. I chat about turn ons, piercings, and the book you must read (ooh, scandalous).
The questions are...
Change into your workout clothes as soon as you get home.
I heard this from a coworker and I thought I would share. I've been trying it myself, it's uber simple, and it really works!
I usually want to throw on comfy clothes upon walking in the door from work, so why not make it workout clothes? From there, you set the tone that you are going to the gym. Maybe not for a couple hours, but you're sub-conciously telling yourself it will happen today.
Try it today and then come back and tell me if it worked for you too.
I think my weekend snaps are getting longer and longer, so if there is a bit of a photo-overload, I'm going to start putting the majority after the jump--hope this is okay with you?
This weekend was busy and I still haven't finished unpacking--ugh, I'm such a procrastinator. I got home from work on Friday night and cracked a beer stat; not my normal routine but I just wanted to get into weekend mode and relax. I made a snack and surfed the web while waiting for Marco to come home.
We decided to go to the gym super late on Friday night, like 10pm guys, which seems a little crazy but I had convinced Marco to hang curtains, a mirror and artwork up in the condo on the condition that we would work out (tee hee, compromise).
The gym was pretty busy, surprisingly, but it was kind of nice going together and kicking off the weekend on a healthy note (post beer, of course). I'm often moaning and groaning about going to the gym but I try to think of it as something we do together (a type of date, if you will), and being active, healthy and fit is something I like making a priority.
Looking at the picture above is a little surreal--my shoulders and arms?! I am actually seeing muscle definition (when flexing) for the first time in my life, which is crazy... now if only my abs would catch up!
We went for a late night dinner at a Pho spot, it was almost midnight by the time we ate. I ordered a beef-rice-egg-salad plate (my first time not ordering Pho) and it totally hit the spot.
Finally! Curtains in our bedroom. I didn't want to do a two-tone, and really wanted the silvery grey curtains to work but the window is too big for two panels, and those ones let the light in (more decorative, than anything).
I was looking for curtains to block the light so we used these two black panels I had from my apartment (and the grey ones fill the gap in the middle). It was glorious sleeping in on Saturday without bright sunlight waking me up!
Saturday morning--a selfie in the newly hung mirror (yipee!).
Outfit deets: H&M tee, 'Serena' by Mavi denim, Kate Spade necklace (birthday gift) & MK watch (old Christmas gift).
More after the jump...
When we were looking for a place to move, two bedrooms was imperative and Marco has graciously agreed to help me turn the second bedroom into a full closet-office room. He has full reign of the master walk-in-closet, but it's still pretty excited that this room belongs to me.
The room houses a sizeable and well laid out closet, as you can see above, and has a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the opposite side. The plan is to make this room functional and nice to look at, since you see it straight ahead when you walk into the condo (photo below).
The idea for the space is to use the current closet, and build an exposed closet on the right-hand wall. Since the door opens on the left side, I want to get a desk to put facing the door, but touching the left wall. Hopefully this will 'hide' the mess of the exposed closet on the opposite wall until you step into the room.
Now here are a few photos of the room filled with boxes, rolling racks (which I will eventually get rid of once we build the exposed closet), and more.
