Bitten all over...

I am so tired today. This longweekend we spent by going camping with my husbands almost entire clan. We were 17 people invading the camping site on Saturday, at Emily Park, and on Sunday we went further east to visit Marmora, our last desintation before heading back to Toronto. Yes, I can get down and dirty, I am not all about the glam...lol

After getting home we unpacked the car, we also washed and cleaned it, which I have begged my hubby to do for the longest time, yay! Now I got a pile of clothes smelling like burnt firewood that needs to be taken care of. Considering we only went for one night, there is a lot of stuff to clean afterwards...

Things to note for next camping excursion:

* Bring a pillow

* More clothes

* A better flashlight

* Bug spray

Longing for Summer...

Oh gosh, cant wait for the summer to come. We just got back from our honeymoon to Cancun a week ago. It was incredible. Food was great, weather was awesome. Picked up a lot of sun. It was my first time to an all inclusive resort, and I must say that being treated like royalty definitely suits me. Cant wait to go for another trip like that....hopefully soon!

Anyone checked out Mariah's new body? I am envious! I have started hitting the gym myself pretty regularly now for exactly a month. Prepping for our honeymoon to Cancun. To get Mariah's body I would have to live at the gym and sleepwalk on the treadmill. Good workout MC!

A Moose is a Moose...

Last weekend we went to a Swedish flea market. You could get pretty good deals there, especially if you go there on a Sunday. I saw this blanket and I just had to have it. I have noticed that I like to collect blankets. They are so nice to snuggle up under when your relaxing on the couch, or cuddling up with your sweetie. This one caught my eye, because of the moose's. Perfect to keep you warm and cuddly in the winter.

Back at home

So, I know I haven't been blogging for over a month now. But there has just been so much craziness going on and a lot of work. And unfortunately, the blog had to suffer. Hopefully, I can get my writing spirit going again.

Right now, I'm in Sweden, visiting my parents. Its not really vacation as I have brought my work with me. My trip is for four wonderful weeks, and I have already spent two of them. The first week I did take off from work, and I spent a couple of days in Stockholm browsing around.

So what can I say about this capital of Sweden, it has changed quite a bit since I last been there over three years ago. More stores and cozy cafe´s. One thing that I do miss in Toronto, is the Swedish cafe´s. No matter how busy you are here, you always have time to sit down with friends or family and have a cup of coffee and something delicious to go with it.

I came back to Sweden right in time for this delicious baked goodie, a Semla. Which is a traditional baked goodie in February, which everyone eats on a particular day, Fettisdag, or like me, every chance you get. Doesn't it look yummy!

This is called a Semla, delicious.

To go or not to go...

So I have been thinking of going back home to visit my parents. At first my mom suggested I would stop in Vienna, Austria and meet up with her there. And then after a week of visiting my Aunt and her family, eating delicious food and seeing the sights, we would head back to where I really wanna go, home. I have been to Vienna many times before, and the place is just amazing, but I just don't feel a week would be enough. I don't want to go and feel, I should have stayed longer. Well, for now I'm just going to think about. Interestingly, this picture came up. Should I consider this a sign? Its a picture of Schwedenplatz in Vienna, Austria.

A must have...

Last month, we flew down to New York City. This was during the American Thanksgiving holiday, so shopping was crazy. Plenty of good deals, and with the exchange rate, unbeatable deals. I am a new customer of Sephora, I have seen this store open its door but never really went in to get anything. So just before my birthday a few months ago, I decided to pamper myself by adding some products to my makeup kit. When I was down in NY, I picked up this awesome Sephora Nail File, made out of glass. It gives your nail edge that perfect smooth finish.

I also picked up a Exfoliating Fruit Enzyme Mask, by Murad. I haven't tried this one yet, but its suppose to dissolve dead surface cells and restore your skins natural hydration. Sounds perfect in this dull winter cold and snow! I will give a review after trying this out for sure.
