Friday Favourites- Blogger Buying Blame III

Happy Friday, friends! With the Halloween midweek extravaganza, I'm looking forward to a low key weekend filled with some laundry, re-org and prep for the week ahead- jealous much? 

I haven't done one of these blogger buying posts in over two years-- could it be that I'm buying less?! Here's a few of the items that I made after the rave reviews of other bloggers.

I heard so many wonderful things about Tula all through blogland so when these went on sale, I snapped them up.

TULA Probiotic Skin Care Dual-Phase Skin Reviving Treatment Pads - Instant Facial Pads, Smooth and Brighten Skin

Shay blogged about the Garmin Vivo Jr bands and I can't say enough good things about it for C. She has been interested in a fitness tracker because of me and my fitbit. The good things about the garmin is that it can be submersed in water especially for her swimming practices twice a week and you don't have to charge it. A great holiday gift for the kids in your life.

Jillian loves The Nest and as I'm trying to use less candles, I ordered a couple of these diffusers for different rooms and seasons in the house. Love how diffusers can really brighten a bathroom with a pleasant scent. 

NEST Fragrances Reed Diffuser- Grapefruit, 5.9 fl oz


These packing cubes (I think the reco was from Shay again) have revolutionalised my life. I have two of these sets and some smaller ones and they are a game changer when travelling. So easy to sort everyone's clothes and to unpack/place in a drawer and repack.

Emily recommended this suction tool and it's awesome for in between facials. Very satisfying and gross all at the same time. It does the job, that's for sure!

Hocus Pocus- Halloween 2018

Good Morning all! So tired after a late night and way too much sugar but here's an almost wordless recap of Halloween shenanigans 2018. 

As a reminder these are their original (and indoor ) costumes... a unicorn and a vampire princess.





So much rain for almost the entire day but it let up the night and it was quite warm temps. 

 And then a couple more unicorns... C borrowed my costume as it could fit over her coat.






I came up with a quick fix as my unicorn was taken!


A friend came to trick or treat with them also. 





After the tricks and treats, we went to our neighbour's house for a drink and a chat. 

Sidenote, this is not all the candy they received. Also notable, there were lots of granola bars given out this year. #winning



 D and I stayed up late into the night having the kids' candy and a really nice bottle of red. Cheers!

And that's a wrap for Halloween 2018!

What's Up Wednesday- October 2018

Hello, lovelies! Here's what's going on with us...


What we're eating this week?
Monday: leftover chicken, potatoes for some of us and salad for others.
Tuesday: Ground turkey and spaghetti squash
Wednesday: I'm thinking of ordering some mexican- a fave of ours for halloween. We have a ton of leftovers though.
Thursday: I'm thinking some sort of mexican sweet potato dish
Friday: dinner with friends.
The weekend is usually filled with a hearty soup and some sort of meals out.

Low (ish) carb and low sugar with some little treats thrown in, it being Halloween and all.

What I'm reminiscing about
A little ladybug and her first halloween ever!


What I'm loving
My afternoon cup of tea with my Good Fat Bar. I actually get to sit. 
 

What we've been up to…
School is in full swing and extra curricular has us running around like crazy every single day of the week. It can be quite overwhelming at times... hence the 'what I'm loving'. 

Also, one of my very favourite people and I went to tea to celebrate her birthday. It was so good to catch up as always!





Also, aren't these treats cool?


What I'm dreading…
The really cold temps.... as always  and daylight savings in the evening when it's dark at 5 pm...

What I'm working on
Work's on a go slow but it's full on decluttering and purging here before the holiday season! All the bedroom and bathroom stuff done. Now we are working on getting our rec/storage/table tennis room (yep, it's all three in one) in order and getting a built in done this year hopefully.

D and I did manage to sneak out for a midweek lunch though.


What I'm excited about…
 A little holiday cheer! Divali then Christmas!


What I'm watching/reading…
This is Us, Greys' and a Million Little Things are my faves these days!

I just finished A Winter Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand.  A fun read. I can't wait for the next installment to come out. 
Winter in Paradise by [Hilderbrand, Elin]

What I'm listening to..
The Wellness Mama podcasts. So much learning but some of it a little scary. 

What I'm wearing…
 Jeans, scarves, jackets and tunics!! Fall y'all!

What I'm doing this weekend…
Not a whole lot and I'm thrilled. We've been on the go for the last few weekends and I'm hoping we can have some time to ourselves just to chill a bit and catch up on some stuff around the house. 


What I'm looking forward to next month..
My parents come to visit and a little pre Christmas cheer! 

What else is new?
This Halloween party where we busted out our costumes!

A little unicorn 


A big unicorn





A dark countess


With her pet dragon






Make your Wednesday wonderful and your Halloween soooo happy!

Five Friday Favourites!

Image result for friday

It's Friday, one and all!! Can you tell it's been one of those weeks?! Here's what's been bringing some happy around here!

1- Pleased to report that apart from 1 little desk and drawer, operation bedroom and bathroom is complete!! 2 huge bags of garbage, 2 donation bags and 2 consignment bags later, we are good to go.... I feel 5 pounds lighter. Pat on my back, I'm having to purge less and less as the years go by, is almost 40 something Sarita getting a little bit wiser with her purchases?! I hope it's that and not that I'm holding onto more?

2- Speaking of cleaning, one of the best parts is finding stuff you'd given up for lost.  Likr my very favourite clothes folder! Hello, old friend! Guess what I'm doing this weekend :-D. So worth the $10!

3- Also started using my Waterpik again after unearthing it again. The cleanest your teeth will feel without going to the dentist! Highly recommend it!!! I also add a splash of mouthwash to the water for an even more fresher feel.

4- Looking for unicorn makeup on Google Images unearthed this!

5- And finally, some funnies for your Friday!

For the grammar nazi, this will make you cringe and laugh all at the same time!


Keeping it real, my inner voice says some things sometimes ;-O



I should totally do this sometime soon!




Every.single.day.



Boom shaka-laka, lovelies! Make it an awesome one!
