Outfit deets:
* Urban Planet sweater (new!) which you can see in my most recent PDO video, What to Wear on a Date.
* Garage tank top (old).
* Zara pants (new!) from the semi-annual sale (seen in the fitting room and later just acting silly).
* Accessories: The bay bangle (seen in my Accessories + Hair Tutorial vlog).
This was the outfit I wore on Sunday when I went out to do some shopping and also showed my car. I would classify this as full hair & make-up because it was a filming day, so I took advantage and took some pictures. I love this outfit and felt very me in it. Snug pants an an over-sized sweater or top is my favourite thing to wear and these Zara pants are no exception.
So guess what you guys!? I sold my car! Eep! Okay, not totally sold, but the plan is to get the money and sign it away tonight. I'm so excited, but anticipate some mixed emotions. I have had my car for nine and a half years, so, a third of my life! Whoa, when you put it that way (thanks Dad).
Anyways, provided all goes well, I will have money in hand tonight. I am slowly working out the details of purchasing something new (I have found something but it's in negotiations so I can't count my chickens before they hatch, so to speak) which means that yes, I will be somewhat car-less for the time being, but I have a plan thanks to someone special.
So, wish me luck that all goes well tonight and I'll let you know what happens with the car purchase over the next week or so.

I made a 'healthy' banana bread on Friday night using this recipe (however, I used whole wheat flour) and sadly it turned out very bland (and I like healthy tasting foods, so...).
Comfy pants for Friday night from my New Year, New You! video.
(I love that these are a skinny leg so they tuck into my Uggs nicely).
Friday night dinner (#spoiled).
Saturday afternoon shopping at Marshalls, Ardène & Garage (no purchases were made).
Chinese take-out for Saturday night + many episodes of House of Lies.
Pretty flowers, just because.
Home-made Saturday morning breakfast: egg/cheese wrap.
On Sunday I showed my car twice (it's for sale) and did some shopping.
Outfit deets: Thrifted jacket, Urban Planet sweater, Garage tank, Zara pants, Spring boots, Club Monaco scarf & Zellers fingerless gloves.
Picked up a Beauty Blender after watching countless YouTubers use it and rave. Used it this morning for the first time and loved it so far. Pricey, at $30 (with tax) but might be worth it. I'll let you know after more use.
Sunday night dinner: chicken pesto pasta with yellow peppers and zuchini.
This is the first year in a few years that I haven't taken a warm-weather-vacation in the new year (the year is still new, I suppose this could change), but that is mainly because I spent my money on trips before Christmas (Las Vegas in September, and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in November).
I have to say though, while it was nice to get away at the early signs of winter, I think I prefer to go away February or March. It really breaks up the winter nicely and you get to escape the most frigid temperatures of the year!
Do you have a preference? Do you prefer warm or chilly vacation spots?

Hi everyone! Thought I would give you an update on my workout routine as it's been a while since the last one.
After my trip to Dominican, I kind of fell of the workout band wagon. Instead of going three to four times a week, I was down to once a week or less (gasp!). However, after Christmas I got back into the swing of things and seem to be back on track.
I wanted to share with you a few workouts I have been doing lately. I've been really trying to push myself as I find doing the same workouts over and over again eventually are not challenging and my goal is to be sore the next day so I know I pushed myself and worked hard.
Most of these workouts I made up myself, but sometimes I find various ones on the Internet and Instagram.
