I have always loved Valentine's Day--whether in a relationship or not, it's a day to spread the love to those you love. Of course having a sweetheart makes it sweeter, but I never pass up the chance to spread a little happiness to those I love--in the form of chocolates, albeit.
When I was younger, while other kids were getting new clothes or toys for V-Day, my Mom would always gift us with a special care package of our favourite chocolates and candies (and one time this peace necklace from Ardene that I was coveting so badly).
Now that I'm older, and in a relationship, I love celebrating the day but my favourite gift to receive is...

Valentine's Day is this weekend, and whether you have a man in your life or not, I'm showing you how to re-create this cool pulled-apart Dutch braid.
I'm not sure what our plans for Saturday are, last year I spent the day at Place d'Orleans spreading the love and then Marco took me out to dinner at a restaurant we like. This year, I would really love to stay home for a home-cooked meal; preferably not by me! Ha!
Hope you enjoy the tutorial and leave me a comment down below letting me know what your plans are.

Hi ladies, sorry for the late recap--I've been fighting an awful cold since mid-last week and I needed to rest up in bed today in hopes that the rest of the week is better.
That said, over a month ago, Marco and I started planning a long-weekend getaway with our friends. Similar to last Summer when we rented a cottage in Fiddler Lake, this time, a ski getaway at a beautiful cottage in Mont. Tremblant. Since I was seriously fighting a nasty cold leading up to it, I made the best of it as I could, but forgo-ed major partying in lieu of sleep while others had way more fun #wompwomp...
The 13 of us stayed at this seven bedroom cottage just outside Tremblant village which was right on the water (and only a five minute drive to the hill). There was a large kitchen, comfortable living room and three bathrooms which was perfect for the large group.
However, over the past few months I've started to notice...
Hi ladies! Sorry for the delay, I was totally under the weather yesterday, hence the late weekend recap post. This past weekend was pretty low key (in comparison to the past couple months) but it was still busy enough but even more so productive (which was so overdue aka cleaning)...
On Friday night I spent several hours cleaning my closet/office room and re-arranged the position of the desk and a few other items (see the full room tour here).
I'm not someone who tends to change things up much once something has found it's place but I'm loving the desk against the wall; there is so much space in the middle of the room it really opens it up. That said, it could just be the fact that I can see the top of my desk for the first time in months that has me feeling so refreshed, ha!
Also, several people (including friends) have asked me about my iPad case/pony-hair clutch which I purchased off Etsy last year when I got my tablet. It was a bit of an investment, but it's handmade, with a leather tassel and lined. I absolutely love it (and it comes in other prints!).
