Hi ladies!  Today I'm sharing with you this pretty pulled apart fishtail braid.  You can leave it out or pull it back for a half-undo look.  

I have been loving braids and fishtails lately and while they take a minute to get the hang of, practice makes perfect (and the look is a little undone and messy anyway!).

If you'd like to see how I created this look, click below for the video...

Saturday morning Marco and I kicked off the day by hitting the gym (before all the indulgences that come along with Valentine's Day, of course!).  Braid tutorial here.


I always whip up these two-ingredient pancakes (with a scoop of protein added; I've been using chocolate-peanut-butter because it's all I have and it's surprisingly fine) before a weekend workout or snowboarding.  I'm not someone who can workout without breakfast--or do much for that matter.  These take under 10 minutes to whip up, are filling and healthy.

 More after the jump...

I know I said despite loving to celebrate Valentine's Day I'm not a big gift exchanger, but if someone was looking for ideas, these would be at the top of my list (and maybe yours too?).  

I thought I would put together a variety of things I have my eye on currently and share in case your significant other is still looking for ideas of if you just wanted some cool ideas to treat yo'self with!




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.
