Face the

I have this strange theory that when they said "face the music" in the adulting world, what they meant was, "face the dishes":

And "face the filing":

Music sounds much more pleasant.

This is one of those silly quizzes on SnapChat, and I got the same outcome at least three times: 

It hit so close to home because I've been trying to eat healthier lately (who isn't), and in the process, I had to withstand sugar withdrawals. It was an eye opening experience for me into how many treats I consume on the regular. It finally hit home that the winner isn't the one who eats all of the things and all of the stuff. Winning might actually be feeding your body the proper fuel it needs to function properly, with occasional treats. Craziness. *mind blown* *eats cookie* 

Wine & Sushi

Here's a picture of Jon from last weekend, when I got the bright idea to WALK to and from our sushi dinner. Not any of the dozen sushi places around our house, the one at the bottom of the hill by SilverCity Cinemas. I needed to get my steps in for the day, and I'd already dragged him out for a walk anyhow. "Lets be crazy, lets just walk there!" I was definitely regretting my decisions on the way back, most of the way up Marmont hill...

Anyways, it was actually out for this dinner that I told Jon the story of when dad made it his mission in life to get me to like wine and sushi. I'd have been in my early twenties, still living at home with them. I'd go to the wineries with them in Salmon Arm, and try them, but never liked them. When he'd drag me out for sushi, I'd get beef teriyaki. To be fair, I still don't eat the raw fish, but I could live on wine and vegetarian sushi.  

It also occurred to me that dad was always hoping I'd meet a guy like Jon, I just wish they could have met. He'd have had a HAY day with Jon, and visa versa. And yet, I'd not be the same person I am today, without the experiences I've had, and maybe it's some of those things that make us so compatible. Either way, wherever dad is, I hope he knows he succeeded, and I imagine him smiling down on us when I took this picture.

Sorry Canada Sevens, been there, done that! 

Chipy

A friend online shared this recipe with me. I was a part of a group of hers, trying to make healthier food choices, so I decided to give it a go. 

But this is how I feel about the "4 chocolate chips each" instruction: 

So this is what I ended up with: 

Still healthy? Questionable...but delicious!

VDay

Here's to hoping everyone had an enjoyable Valentine's Day, whatever that looked like for you. I'm here to say though, I'm living proof you can create whatever level of corny you'd like to entertain, all you need is a willing co-pilot. 

We kept up with our traditions of the heart shaped pizza from Me-N-Eds, because they donate partial proceeds to help Alzheimers. (I'd just like to add, I got the spelling on that FIRST TRY NINA!) 

Just in case you were curious, my level of happiness can be summed up in one photo: 

Monat Dry Shampoo

I'm about to tell you all about the Monat Dry Shampoo I bought off my sister Aleisha, who sells Monat. If that's not your jam, by all means, click the sidebar for something else.

I was always going to buy off my sister, to support her, but I've actually found I love Monat, and it works excellently on my hair. It's made me feel differently towards my hair, and like I want to style it, and put more effort into it. Recently I tried the Dry Shampoo in the line, and I also fell in love with this product. I've tried other dry shampoos before, but I love how this one smells. It leaves my hair feeling fresh, like it's just been washed, without the powdery white effect. 

In the above picture I've curled it with an curling iron, but as another update on my curls, check out this picture. 

Those are my NATURAL curls people!!! This didn't used to happen in my life!! Can't say enough good things about it. I've tagged her in this post if you're interested, drop her a line.
