30 day snap #12

Yup I missed another day :( not doing too well am I.  

Anyway today is the first whole day I have had off in a while and what am I doing? I am sitting in my apartment waiting for a package to be delivered.

I have been up since 9:30am and it is now after 2pm and still no package!! It is a lovely day outside and I need to get groceries and yet I can't leave as I have to sign for my Disney tickets.  There is no way I'm leaving till I get them in my hand! Fingers crossed they get here in a little while :)

Yesterday was not the best day at work.  Sometimes I think this is the only thing that is keeping me going..  Keeping me awake that is.  Coffee, oh how I love my coffee. 

(Meant to publish this yesterday!) 

 

30 day snap #9

I'm a day late with this one, but here it is. 

This is the view from my current apartment in Toronto.  I live on the 23rd floor and the view is pretty amazing.  If you look very closely you can see the CN tower in the distance.  I shall be moving at the beginning of July to a cheaper place and it will be on the ground floor.  So no more spectacular view. 

 

30 day snap #8

My new dress from River Island.  It is really nice and soft, perfect for summer.  Am thinking of wearing it on the plane down to Florida :) I also downloaded a new app called A beautiful mess and had fun making my photo even better than it was.   

Debating a new hairstyle

For those of you that know me you know that I like to change my hair on a regular basis.  I don't seem to keep one style for long!!  And right now I feel like a change.  Who knows if it is because I'm starting a new chapter in my life, new job and a new place but I am thinking of a new look as well!!  

So here is what I'm thinking of.  I have liked this style for a while just not sure if I have the nerve to go ahead with it.

 Emeli Sande and Pink both have the same.  If my hair will stay up this would look cool just not sure if I would suit it? And not sure if I would go sooooo short on the sides.  

Of course would have to include Miley Cyrus as she has the same hair style too! She was the only one I could find that had photos of her hair high (see next photo) and photos of her hair flat.  I like the fact you can do different styles with this haircut.

 So what do you think?  Any comments you have would be greatly appreciated!  It is only hair and it would grow back, just not sure.  

Oh by the way here is a photo of how my hair is now incase you would like to compare and tell me which you prefer.  Keep or change!

Let me know, PLEASE!

Yup that is a snail.  For the past 4 summers I have been bug hunting, oh the joys of looking after a little boy! Over the years we have found caterpillars, snails, green leaf bugs, cicadas and even a praying mantis!!  

30 day snap #6

Hurrah, today I remembered to take a photo! So today I thought I would start deciding what outfits to take on vacation :) Three weeks today I will be in Florida and I can't wait!! 

 

30 day snap #5

So yesterday I forgot to take a photo for the challenge :( I knew exactly what I was going to take but completely forgot.  This challenge is harder than I though and we're not even a week in!! 

30 day snap #4

This is where I box every Tuesday.  I have been boxing for just over a year now and have been in the ring for just a few months.  I love it, it's the longest I have managed exercise on a regular basis and could not imagine giving it up.  Thanks to my wonderful trainer Troy.  You can find him here and I highly recommend him :)  http://www.slipthejab.com/index.html

30 day snap - day 3

Was wondering what to take a photo of today, I decided to take a picture of something I have done every week day for years but at the end of the month I won't have to do again.  Well until I have my own kids!! 

I came to Canada around 8 years ago with the live in caregiver program and have been a nanny for my current family for nearly 4 years.  At the end of January I started a part time job in retail with Target and I really enjoy it.  So I made a brave decision to leave nannying and concentrate on retail.  I think I will do a whole post later on and go into more detail.  

Anyway, this was taken just after I had dropped the oldest at school and was off to gymnastics class with the little one.  Oh how my life will change in a month!!  

Cheerio.

30 day snap - day 2

Today I went to the blues festival in an area called the beaches.  As you can guess its near the beach of Lake Ontario.  It wasn't the best weather, it poured just before we got there.  Because of the rain it was pretty quiet but we decided to stay and eat :) I'm glad we did as I had a pulled pork parfait!  It was really delicious.  It was a layer of pulled pork, mashed potatoes, pulled pork, mashed potatoes and some beans on top.  Yum yum.  It was by Hank Daddy's barbecue.  You can find them here www.hankdaddysbbq.com. I recommend you find where they will be next and try the parfait it is well worth it.  

30 day snap #1

So here is my first photo for the challenge.  It is of my air conditioner unit, I live in an apartment building in Toronto which doesn't have ac.  So during the summer months it gets very hot in my apartment.  And when I mean hot I mean it! For some reason my place is constantly hot all year round.  I don't know if its because its an older building or the fact that I'm on the 23rd floor, either way I have to struggle to put this baby in.  It is rather heavy and a pain to put in, but the pay off is well worth it.  Although because I do live so high up I do have visions of it falling if I haven't installed it properly!!  Oh well at least I'll be cool.

Sprinkle of glitter is a blog I have been reading for a while now.  Louise has given me the inspiration to blog more.  I enjoy following her life, reading about the beauty products she gets and her little girl is unbelievably cute!   Her posts are very friendly, it's as if she is one of your friends writing to you. You can find her here :    www.sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk and can find all the info about the challenge here http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/the-30-day-snap.html

So Louise has set a challenge to take a photo everyday in June and upload it to your blog.  I really like this idea and think that if I can post something everyday it will help me in blogging more :) also will be interesting to see what my life looks like in photos and wether I can find something to take a picture of! Lets see what tomorrow brings.  

Toodle pip

P.S I hope the links work, it has been a while since I blogged and have forgotten a few things! 

Welcome :)

So here we are, another blog.  This is my third!! I wanted to start blogging more (something I have said on many occassion but have never followed through).  I always use the excuse that I don't have the time to write stuff or that my life isn't interesting enough to write about.  But lately I have been reading blogs that write about beauty products they've bought, clothes and just general  life stuff.  So here goes, third times a charm right!? 

I downloaded an app so I could blog no matter where I am but was having problems signing in and my other blog wasn't found.  Dana of blog on the go was very helpful in trying to find the problem but for some reason she couldn't find one.  So she suggested I start over again with a new account and a new blog.  And here we are.  

So I had to come up with a name for my blog.  I thought that this would take ALOT of time, trying to come up with something different/witty/clever.  I read articles about coming up with the perfect blog name and became even more confused! They say you should write about things you like so I shall be writing about: 

Fashion - any clothes that I buy

Food - I really like food, eating and cooking/baking. 

Beauty - lately I have been really getting into make up ( a little late in life but oh well) so reviews of products will be happening! 

Boxing - this might seem a little random but it is something that I really like to do.  I have been doing it now for over a year, it's the longest I have been exercising without getting bored.  So I will keep you up to date on my exercise regime! 

Put parts of the words together and you get Fashfood and beaubox!! I like it and think its original.  Let me know what you think :)
