Fabulous Friday!

What is fabulous on that LAST day of September? (Already!?!?!)

  • Fall weather! I love to see the leaves changing color!
  • Banana bread and pumpkin bread! Those are my favorite, I ate way too much of those yummy breads  this week!
  • Traveling! Next weekend is our Canadian Thanksgiving and I'm going to Montréal for the occasion with my parents and the boyfriend! We will go to an orchard, do some shopping (IKEA, here we come!), see my brothers, my sister and my grandparents, it will be great! Can't wait!
  • My boyfriend! He is taking the afternoon off to have some time with me because he is going haunting all weekend long! Love him so much!

What's fabulous about your Friday?

These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

I love fall clothes and boots are definitely one of my favorite things to wear with jeans! I love that style! The following boots are some of my favorite and they are all from ALDO





I'm going to get one pair of those boots for sure (my birthday is coming in early November and my mom will buy me that as a gift!) but I still don't know which! I love them all! I already have black boots, so I might want another color this year, like brown or maybe grey!

Are you going to buy new boots this fall or do you stick with a pair you already have in your closet? Do you have any favorite brand?

Miscellany Monday!

  • It's Monday (again!)! The weekend is always too short!
  • It's haunting season and the boyfriend and his group of friends went out of town (Friday night-Sunday night) to haunt! They didn't kill anything! B will be out there every weekend until October 17th (they stay in a camp in the woods)! The weekends are not that fun without him here! We get to see each other every night of the week but I miss him! 
  • I worked a lot on my thesis in the past couple days and I can't wait to be DONE!
  • I went to dinner at my parents' last night (we had brie cheese and mango salad, so good!) and we watched a movie, it was fun!
  • I ran some errands yesterday morning and I got some orange juice for free (3,99$)! The lady at the supermarket didn't scan it, it's not on my grocery bill haha! I love getting things for free like that, am I bad?!?!
  • I baked banana bread and I can't stop eating that! I think it's the best loaf of breads I made in a long time!
  • I also baked 2 meals for this week: meat & veggies macaroni and tofu & veggies sauté! I'm also planning on baking some chicken for the end of the week!
  • I want new boots but I can't find anything I like here! It's really frustrating to live in a small town!
How was your weekend?

Beauty Routine!

Lately, I have read about some other bloggers' beauty routines and I totally want to share mine!

Hair
I wash my hair everyday and it sometimes gets dry and that brand is great for my hair! It's a smooth shampoo for colored hair!  
L'Oréal EverPure Color Care System Smooth Shampoo
Alcove Smoothing Lotion
After blowdrying, I use a smoothing lotion and the flat iron (when I have to leave the house, I don't do it everyday!). I use that thermal hair spray to protect my hair from the heat:

Rusk Thermal Shine Spray
To keep my hair straight all-day long, that product is a must-have that I have been using for years:

Bed-Head After-Party Smoothing Cream
Face
I wash my face in the morning with Spectro-Jel:


My favorite brand of skin cream is definitely Vichy:

Vichy Aqualia Thermal for dry skin
Aqualia Thermal Mat Anti-Shine Effect
Make-Up
The following products are the ones I use almost everyday. I really love Sephora products but those can be expensive! (And I don't live anymore in a city where there is a Sephora store! :( Too bad!) But I swear by Maybelline for mascara, this is the best and I'm never disappointed!
Sephora Mineral foundation
(Color: D30-Sand)
Nars Blush (Color: Orgasm)




Mascara Maybelline Falsies
(Color: Intense Black)

Maybelline Eyeshadow Trio
(Color: 35T-Almond Satin)






Sephora Ultra-Shine Lip Gloss 
(Color: Glitter Beige 33)


Nails
I do my nails by myself because I like to switch color (like 2 times/week!)!
Those 3 nails polishes are my favorite for Fall:
Essie Nail Polish (Color: Fancy Delancey)
L'Oréal Paris Nail Polish (Color: Mauvie Star)

Essie Nail Polish (Color: Plumberry)
Voilà my beauty routine!
What is yours? 
Do you have any favorite products or a favorite brand?

Weekend Recap!

Hope everybody had a great weekend! I sure had a good one!

What I have done:

{Friday}
  • In the afternoon, I did some laundry and some cleaning around the house and I went to Walmart to fill our pantry.
  • We went to dinner at my in-laws' house! It was so fun! We were happy to see them, they just got back from a 2 months trip in Newfoundland and Labrador!
  • After dinner, B and I met some friends at a local pub and we had some drinks! It was a fun night!
{Saturday}
  • I did a 60 minutes workout but I was so tired and I didn't feel like working out at all!
  • B and I met our friends' twins boys! They are 3 weeks old and they are so tiny (5 and 6 pounds)! Cute babies!!!
  • I painted (2 coats of white) our closet's doors! 
  • We went for a long car ride after that!
{Sunday}
  • We went for a long walk in our neighborhood and it was freezing outside, I had to wear a scarf! Summer is definitely over here!
  • After that, we watched a movie: The Manchurian Candidate. It was good but the end of the movie is hard to understand!
  • We drank a great bottle of wine and we had a nice romantic dinner! I love nights like that!

    Hello, Fall!

    Fall is my favorite season of the year, always been! And here, it's already pretty fallish!!! It's like 10C outside! Adios Summer! (Summer are pretty short here!)

    I love the clothes I get to wear during fallish time, the weather, the nature, to see the leaves change of color, pumpkin candles, spice latté, fall wreathes! I can't wait to do a little Fall decor around our place!

    Another thing I love when September comes is cooking muffins or pumpkin breads!!! This is what I have done two days ago and my little pumpkin breads turned so yummy!

    Most of the ingredients I used!

    Cooking in progress!

    Voilà!!! Yummy!!!
