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.

Happy Wednesday everyone! How has your week been thus far?
Monday night was awesome, I went on a double date to an Industry Night dinner; basically what that means is a special dinner, mainly for people in the serving industry (I'm not one of them...anymore), that is put on by a top chef of a restaurant in Ottawa. I had vaguely heard of this before, but never been.
It takes place on the last Monday of every month and is a four-six course meal for $25. The word meal is relative as the portions were sharing plates between the four of us, except the main dish--shared between two--and the dessert where everyone got their own.
The restaurant that was putting on this month's evening was Town, a restaurant that I would say is a mix between Italian and French food. A place I've been to once, been meaning to go back to, and really loved (have the meatballs, if you go).
We tried a variety of food, and this is definitely a meal you need an open palette for; not for the picky eaters, that's for sure. We had things like smelt fish, octopus, porchetta, lamb sausages etc. I am a big food lover and not shy to try anything so this was right up my alley! Everything was delicious, but the octopus and lamb sausages took the cake for me.
I ended up vlogging our evening and am currently editing the footage to share with you very soon! Here's a peak at my outfit from Monday night.
Hope you're having a great week--cheers.
