April Favourites
Hello Blondies,
April showers bring May flowers… or in this case April snow brings lots of Netflix and Popcorn! Wearing my Smash + Tess romper of course.
Even during quarantine I still have still found a few favourites! Before being confined to my home I was running low on makeup so I popped into Shoppers Drug Mart, several in fact, to find the new Clinique BB Cream. I am torn between putting it on my favourites or on my not-so faves list…I either have a very good day with it or a not so good day. I love it because it gives my skin a refreshing glow without all the effort, the only downside is if it’s not well blended you will end up with uneven coverage. To keep my the rest of my body in the same colour range as my face rather then the snow I have been battling out various self tanners, which has led to some commical tan lines…I guess quarantine and snow does have its benefits from time to time! HA!
As for skincare I have been finishing up my Rodan + Fields routine, which I dive deeper into in a seperate blog post, but the thing that really takes it to the next level is the Rose Quartz roller and the Biolum C oil from Dermalogica. I have just ordered my new Skincare routine from Beauty Counter so keep your eyes out for that!
While it is still snowing outside I have big plans to start a garden this year, so I’ve already started…inside. My friend bought a click and grow last year and had a lot of success with it, so I thought I would give my not-so green a crack at it! As I am typing I have already transplanted my Basil, Lettuce and Arugula up next Strawberries and Tomatoes!
For the past four weeks our family has spent a lot time together and lately I have really enjoyed spending Sunday afternoons together playing games, baking various cakes from Butter Baked Goods and of course making cocktails! My liquor cabinet has expanded quite a bit over the past 4 weeks, but there have been some standouts including Collective Arts Hibiscus & Rhubarb Gin and Eau Claire Distillery’s Prickled Pear Vodka and it it really spring without Aperol Spritz?!
I promise I haven’t being drinking booze on the daily, that’s a Sunday Special, I have also been enjoying ample amount of coffee and in the evenings I have been enjoying WithinUs Magnesium which has helped me head off to sleep, especially when I have no set schedule right now.
I am continuing to read books to give myself some sort of normalcy I am currently reading the 5AM Club and I just finished Talk Money to Me and Fair Play. I have still been working out with my ToneIt Up App so I am still going to count that as a favourite because it keeps me moving and motivated daily even on the days I am just not feeling up to it!
That’s all I have for you this month!
