Five on Friday - April 30, 2021 ~ Vaccinated, April Owlcrate Box, April Scratch Monthly Mani Kit, Star Wars Baking & Birthday, and Mango Beer!

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a great week - can you believe we are already on the last day of April?! Where has the time gone?!

ONE 

I got my first dose of my vaccine this week! I signed up right when I was eligible - my husband and I became eligible due to working in a congregate living placement. We got the Pfizer and honestly, I'm terrified of needles and it was easy. My arm was pretty sore the next day, but no other symptoms. And, good timing too - Alberta recored the highest daily count ever and I just want to see the end of my pandemic.

I purchased everything in this post - this post contains affiliate links

I just received my April Owlcrate subscription and this month's theme is "Ruthless Rivals" - each month the book Owlcrate includes is signed by the author and comes with a note from the author as well. They often have special edition covers just for the box, and they seem to include a lot of exclusive items just for Owlcrate, which is so fun! As a bookworm, I have been loving this subscription!  (And, I'm happy that shipping was so quick this month, I feel like it's been slow for so long, that this was a welcome change!)

Monthly Beauty Favourites - April 2021

Here's a look at what I was loving in April:

The Paula's Choice was received as PR and the Cheekbone was received for a product campaign - this post contains affiliate links

This month is rare because I do not often talk about hair products (my hair is pretty plain and flat so it always take something extra special to make me excited about hair!) and then I have lots of skincare with just a little touch makeup too! 

Manicure Tuesday - Pacifica Beauty Plant Magic Polish & BioGlitter Translucent Topper Polish

Happy Manicure Tuesday! I hope you all had a good weekend - I'm a day late because I've been busy with my little guy's birthday this weekend, so I'm coming with a really simple Mani Tuesday! 

I purchased both polishes

So I thought I would try out a couple of Pacifica Beauty polishes that I picked up recently that I've been wanting to try with an ombre glitter! 

April Shop My Stash ~ Coral Pink Makeup Look

Coral and pinks are some of favourite colours to play with on my eyes, and it's been a little while since I've done a full face of makeup so I grabbed my favourite shades and just played! 

The Hard Candy and Rodial were received as PR samples - this post contains affiliate links 

I love how bright and pretty this turned out - the corals and pinks are just giving me all the Spring and Summer vibes (as it's still snowing here in Calgary today)! 

Five on Saturday ~ Vaccines, Spring 2021 Samplesource, Elliott is 4, Shadow and Bone Netflix and Backyard Swing

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you all had a good week - I took Monday and Friday off this week, so it was refreshing to have some extra time to myself during the week! 

ONE 

This past week my husband and I became eligible for our vaccines based on our jobs, so we are all booked in for Tuesday afternoon! I'm afraid of needles, so am a little bit worried, but, I'm actually happy to get one to assist in getting us all through this pandemic safely!

Samplesource is a free box for anyone

I just got my Spring 2021 Samplesource box and it came with lots of goodies - I always get a dry shampoo and toothpaste and they are great for travel, whenever that may be! Plus, this one came with lots of good snacks and drinks to try (and always something for the cats!) Plus, there is quite a few coupons for free products, so I will have to use those too!
