Manicure Tuesday - Shimmery Peach Nails

Happy Tuesday - on man, I'm starting off all my posts a little late this year, but I've still been sick so I have been going to bed super early and just trying to take care of myself a little more! 

I purchased everything in this post

So, I did get to my nails late, but I did still get to them! And, sticking with my theme of the Colour of the Year - Peach Fuzz theme, I've got some shimmery peach nails! The whole #CBBxManiMonday group is doing an Anything Goes theme for the month so we can all just ease ourselves in to the New Year before diving in to themed manis! 

Five on Friday - December 15, 2023 ~ Beartown Trilogy Book Reviews, Pantone Colour of the Year - Peach Fuzz, Meeting the Grinch, Bookshops and Bonedust Pre-order, and McDonalds Adult Happy Meals

Happy Friday everyone - I hope you all had a great week! It's been a lost cause of a week here - my little guy has been sick since the weekend so we've been in survival mode for the week, and I thought I was on track for Christmas prep and now I haven't sent out cards or wrapped anything and I'm feeling a little rushed!

If you would have told me at the start of the year that a trilogy of hockey books would be some of my favourite books of the year, I would have laughed, but I cannot sing enough praise about the Beartown series that includes Beartown, Us Against You and The Winners by Fredrik Backman. Of course, these are much more than a book about hockey - its about the characters, choices we make, how we respond to crisis, friendships, family, love, toxic masculinity, violence, everything is touched on in these books and handled so well - Fredrik Backman is a master with words and these books were so impactful. 

Manicure Monday - Magenta Warm & Fuzzy Winter Penguin Nails

 Happy Manicure Monday - can we believe it's 2023 now?! It's so exciting!

Well, I always get excited because the start of a New Year means a new Pantone Colour of the Year - I'm so excited for the 2023 Colour of the Year because it is Viva Magenta! I love pinks and magentas and it's such a gorgeous colour family - I feel like I'm going to get a lot of inspiration from this colour! 

Five on Saturday - December 3, 2022 ~ Nutcracker Immersive YYC, Decorating for Christmas, November Vegetarian/Pescatarian Meals, Pantone 2023 Colour of the Year Viva Magenta, and Reaching 100 Books Read This Year!

I hope you all had a good week - mine was pretty good, we had a busy weekend last weekend, but I'm so excited it's finally December and we are getting closer to Christmas!

I had so much fun yesterday morning at the opening of the Nutcracker Immersive show in Calgary - I took the family and it was really cool! Both boys loved the show and the big screens were really great! Was a cute take on the show (I really wanted to see the Sugar Plum Fairy, but the kids liked the focus on the battle with the Rat King). Great introduction to the Nutcracker for those that aren't ready for the ballet!

Shop My Stash Makeup Look - January 2022 ~ Very Peri Eyeshadow Look

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm so so excited that this past weekend I was able to sit down and play with some makeup (it's been a little while!) I really want to focus on using products in my collection, and so today's look is a "Very Peri" eyeshadow look based on the 2022 Pantone Colour of the Year!

I don't have anything that it is quite "Very Peri" in my collection, but I have a lot of purples and some blues, so I thought I would be able to pull a look together, and honestly - I'm so happy with how this look came out! It's deep, but shimmery and pretty! It's a little more cool-toned than I normally go and I like it!
