#10daysofhalloween: Pikachu!
So this one wasn’t really planned like this either. I did a really good job at sticking to my list of 10 costumes, clearly. haha. So we had originally planned to go as Pikachu and Ash to our friend’s Halloween Party, but after a weekend filled with cupcakes and weddings, we couldn’t keep our eyes open long enough to make it to her party 😦 … Continue reading #10daysofhalloween: Pikachu!
Some Good Market Breaks out the Christmas Stuff
I love attending farmer’s markets and craft fairs all year long, but it rocks my socks when November rolls around and all of a sudden there’s handmade Christmas-ness on everyone’s table. Â (Well, except ours. We haven’t broken out the festive cupcakes yet, haha). Â (I think that may be the first time I’ve ever said ‘rock my socks’…may also be the last.) Whenever there’s ‘handmade’ and … Continue reading Some Good Market Breaks out the Christmas Stuff
Bat Dance 9: Four Girls Become Johnny Depp.
Every Halloween, a local radio station hosts a “win-to-get-in” costume party. Â Let’s not talk about how many busy signals we heard while trying to call in and win tickets. Â (I was so excited when I finally got through that I had the entire on-air conversation while on speaker phone. Â Oops.) Jess and I brought back a costume we tried a few years ago. Â JOHNNY DEPP. … Continue reading Bat Dance 9: Four Girls Become Johnny Depp.
#10daysofhalloween: Abbey B.
After graduating Blanche MacDonald make-up school in 2009, Jana and I moved back to Newfoundland. And considering the lack of demand for weird sh%t (special effects/airbrush/fashion makeup) in Newfoundland, I count on Halloween to be the few days every year to keep the skills I learned in school fresh in my mind. Last Halloween I did 7 Days of Halloween but I enjoyed it so … Continue reading #10daysofhalloween: Abbey B.
Some Good Market in the Red Shed
Hard to believe this was the last market we attended with cupcakes…and it was a month ago. It was a goody, though. Â The view, the fire in the wood stove, the outhouse, the vendors that feel like family, (especially when they bring soup and homemade pumpkin cake nomnomnom), and the steady flow of customers up and down the dirt path. Â Even the dogs lucked out … Continue reading Some Good Market in the Red Shed
Weddings are All-Day Events
Especially when Jess is on hair & makeup duty 🙂 For Joanne & Rod’s incredible day, we had to get ourselves ready, too,  before heading off for hair & makeup…I think we got up well before the Sun did. That’s what coffee is for, though. Wedding day preparations make you feel all warm and fuzzy when you think the world of the bride (and her family!) … Continue reading Weddings are All-Day Events
Thrifted Plaids that are Miles too Big
Aren’t those the best plaid shirts, though? The ones that are at least THREE sizes too big for you? (Although Jess has been known to toss on a double-XL every now and then). I really don’t like wearing ‘women’s’ plaid shirts. For starters, if I wanted to wear a crop top I would just go buy a crop top. Maybe it’s just me, but I always … Continue reading Thrifted Plaids that are Miles too Big
Europe 2014: The Roads of Mykonos
Navigating the roads around the island of Mykonos is an adventure in itself. The roads are super narrow to start with. Then add huge buses going in both directions, some blind hills, locals, and tourists on rented atvs and scooters who have no idea where they’re going. No wonder the guy giving us a ride from the airport warned us not to rent an atv. … Continue reading Europe 2014: The Roads of Mykonos
Europe 2014: Three Pizzas in One Go in Greece
As the four of us were leaving our hostel in London, the guy working at reception told us to “just eat all the food in Greece”. I think we’ve been doing pretty good. The hotel here serves a pretty deece breakfast, so we’ve been filling up. (Toast, yogurt, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, ham and cheese, greek salad…we agree, it’s an interesting mixture of items). Last night … Continue reading Europe 2014: Three Pizzas in One Go in Greece
Europe 2014: Let’s tour all of London’s Airports!
How many airports does London actually have?? I think in a matter of five days, we went to four. No doubt there are more than that. And that makes you super paranoid that you’re heading to the wrong one every time. Advice I just overheard here at the hotel in Mykonos: Don’t refill plastic water bottles because eventually they’ll smell like vomit. Good to know, … Continue reading Europe 2014: Let’s tour all of London’s Airports!
