Manicure Monday - Pantone Colour of the Year Peach Fuzz Dotticure

Happy Manicure Monday - I hope you all had a good weekend and a good holiday break! 

I purchased these polishes

I love when Pantone announces their colour of the year; I always try and use it for inspiration! So for 2024 the colour is Peach Fuzz - I looove this light peach shade and it's a colour that I reach for often, so I feel like I will be using this for inspiration all year! 

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.

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!

Five on Saturday - December 11, 2021 ~ Circus Reads, Smash and Tess Rebecca Dress, Christmas Cookie Decorating, Fun Shopping Finds and the 2022 Pantone Colour of the Year

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all had a good week - mine was normal and pretty quiet!

I don't plan a whole lot of my reading anymore, but I am trying to finish up a few long standing series I've had on the go. But, I have been craving Circusy set books, so I've rounded a few of the ones I really want to read soon!
