Vacation..Vacation..Vacation...

I don't know if you guys go through the same thing but my kitty wakes me up everyday at 5am!!!I don't know why but he does everything to annoy me and get my attention! It's been happening all week so this morning I tried another tactics I simply went and took him from biting/ruining my couch lol and brought him to bed with me and pet him and IT WORKED!!!!!!!!! We were able to sleep until 10am! I finally slept without any interruption!! YAY

Anyways, all I've been thinking, dreaming, talking about is my upcoming vacation!!! In the beginning  of this year we were talking about taking a well deserved vacation this year! Never thought that we would be going on a cruise!!!!!! Let alone a Mediterranean cruise!!! We wanted to visit Italy and then the agent talked us into taking a cruise for the same about of money!!! I honestly am very excited and can't wait to be on vacation!!! In 2 days we are officially on vacation!!!

Beginning of the week I made a to do list and as you can see below I'm pretty much done most of it

Run EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK - ALMOST THERE (but mostly walking instead of running)
Empty most of the boxes - CHECK
Unpack all of our clothes  - CHECK
Make homemade hummus :) CHECK
Do my hair and some other TLC GETTING IT DONE TODAY
Get my nails filled - HAVE TO FIND A LOCAL NAIL SALON ( tomorrow)
Pack for our trip-  I PACKED MYSELF SO FAR ( waiting for hubbys suitcase)

Here is my new hair I hope you guys like it!

I didn't want it to be too short but when she was done the base it didn't look so bad and I was like what the heck might as well if I want a change! lol

Im gonna go off and make some pesto pasta since I only had some homemade buckwheat crepes this morning with a light nutella spread on it! ( I only have 2)

XOXO

beach weather

Alarm didn't ring today andI was surprised woke up at 10:30am!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when saw thetime on my phone! It's been so long since I had a good night sleep where Islept until late! Can'tremember when?!

Loving this early beachhumid weather!! I blasted some music and then cleaned up the suitcases and starting packing!! I literally counted my bikins and  I have 14 sets! Good thing right I should have enough for my vacation?! lol This will be kept a secret from my hubby! lol (wonder why lol )

I booked a hair appointment for tomorrow! I'm not too sure of the style I wanna go for but I'm sure they'll figure it out! I never leave a salon disappointed! I also have to stop and pick up some last minute bathroom toiletteries!

-water spray
-head band
-nail polish remover
-hubby's smokes
-I'm sure that there are a lot more stuff that I'm forgetting right now!

Tonight I'm staying light on food and I'm going to stick to a watermelon/strawberries smoothie!

I decided to relax this afternoon and take a bath! I never took a bath at 5pm!! Lol keep calm and take a bath anyone? I miss going to work! I must say that! ( and I think you guys can tell )

Hubby is coming back in 2 days! I cant wait! I miss him dearly!!

Have a good evening everyone!

New Life*

*Anyone can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending*

I read an article about house organization this morning on the web and saw this beautiful quote!! It fit right in my life right now!

If you read my blog last night I've got a pretty long list to complete this week! Woke myself up at 8:30am,showered, had a yummy watermelon smoothie with just ice and watermelon nothing else added.
Made a few calls and then cleaned up the master room!
Since we gave away our bed set and decided to wait and invest into a 'life' bed lol the one that's going to be with us until we grow old! lol

I was able to unpack the last clothing box and clean up the house a bit! Dishes were done, bathroom is clean and I went for a walk! Didn't run today because I woke up with a sharp lower back pain :( !

I finally was able to start the packing for our trip! As you can tell by the picture the first thing that went in the Suitcase are my bathing suits! Haha

Snacked on fresh strawberries while watching the bacholerette!
Off to shower before going to bed!

Xoxo

Unpacking your life*

Sometimes life takes you to the craziest places ever! (and love also):)
Hubby is gone for another week and I'm home by myself with my to do list!

My week list:

Run EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK
Empty most of the boxes
Unpack all of our clothes (almost done)
Make homemade hummus :)
Do my hair and some other TLC
Get my nails filled
Pack for our trip
There are a few more that I need to add but I'm hopefully going to finish them tonight before going to bed!

Today was filled with laundry, some more unpacking, playing with kitty and helping hubby pack! I took a one hour nap this afternoon which was well deserved and needed! My fuel is back up now so I'll be fine for couple more hours of unpacking!

This week the blog will be about my move and not too much detailing on my nutrition! But I am still eating healthy!

I'm gonna head to take a bath and prepare my homemade mask :)

Xoxo

Goodbye

With a sad face I had to say goodbye to my friends and co workers yesterday as it was my last day!

One of my beastie threw me a good bye party and invited only the people that I cared about! :) I like to plan ahead and organize but for this one It seemed to be complicated so I let it up to her as she loves to coordinate and is master at it! :)

Here are a few pics from the night

I will miss them xoxo ❤

Home sweet home

So sorry for this "very late" blog!
Phew I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to take a minute and sit so I could write my blog. Right now I must say that I am enjoying a well deserved bath to myself! Hubby was so kind and offered to set it up for me :) I'm so lucky!

Moving was a LONG day filled with joy, excitement, nervousness and just glad it's almost over! My alarm rang at 5:30 and we got ready so quick that we had enough time to go and grab a coffee!
The movers came at around 7am and we were on the road at 9am!!

Hubby and I had an arrangement where I closed the door and he would lock it! 3 years of life wrapped in a second action!
There was a accident on the highway that delayed us about 30 mins but we managed to arrive safe and sound at our place! This being our 4th move ( 4th?? I know right? ) we decided that we would hire movers! They were professionals and "fast" with a few mishaps ( washer fell in the truck )!!!
We did install it right away and was glad when it worked fine! They were done at around 3pm and that's when we started unpacking...

The next 3 hours we just unpacked..and unpacked..unpacked util 6ish... His aunt did come by to help us wish was VERY helpful!

5am to 6pm Is a long day! His aunt went home and we finished few more boxes then showered and headed out to pick up something to eat and milk for the next day since we dint have anything in our fridge and didn't have enough energy to fill up our fridge... But we were able to do a quick one today and I have to say that I was AMAZED by all the different variety that the store had! I checked every single isle lol poor hubby!
I guess living in the suburbs for 3 years did have some disadvantage.. lol

I must add that our neighborhood is pretty nice 😜 I absolutely love it!

As for today I'm gonna take a bath and pass out lol!

Good changes

What a weekend! Such beautiful weather and good company!

Non stop sunshine and not a touch of rain! Can I say that I regretted throwing our my old fans!! Lol
When we started packing I didn't know what to do with them so we put them out beside the garbage and I think someone picked them up! I am glad that it didn't go to waste.

Hubby is working in town this week, even tho we don't have lunch together he at least comes home to me at night :) makes my hearts melt!

We woke up at 6:30 this morning because he was driving me to work this morning before going to work.
Ironically we packed all of our mugs and forgot that we still had about a week to go in this house LOL!
So Tim hortons it was this morning!
Medium, 1 milk and a cream cheese bagel!

I didn't prepare anything for lunch and went to a friend after I picked up a garden soup and one cup of rice from the cafeteria! I'm going to miss this place! ( even tho I don't really buy the food but they do have good and healthy choices)

3 years ago I was worried..scared..and not in control about my life as it was unorganized.. Here we are three years from then moving again! Grasping life and giving it another shot!
Just recently I've made some serious decision that may affect me in the future right now they are what I'm living by and like we always say live your life with no regrets right?!

I've been non stop packing..I've realized that I'm a neat freak and I like it when when It's very organized! So it's taking a long time to finish packing this crazy house! :) haha

Dinner tonight was a total fail...I gave in and ordered a medium cheese and pepperoni pizza and I has a glass of really cold orange fanta! I sipped on water all night though.

I want to thank my friend for helping me pack tonight! She left the gym without showering to help me and I didn't have to beg her lol

Sorry for not posting lately, life can't get hectic sometimes ;)

Seconds..minutes..hours...

Omg time I going by so fast!!! This time next week we will be in our new place!!! I honestly can't wait!!😜

I am sure you guys notice that I was able to add smiley faces to my app!! I found this amazing emoji application on the app store and I must say that it is genius!! I love it! The instructions are easy to follow and it's FREE😝 haha
I totally recommend it!

We went to bed late yesterday since I was setting up my new laptop and transferring my old documents on my new laptop! it's a HP beatbox laptop!
I honestly was expecting flowers when he said he has a surprise for me and this totally blew my expectations!!!! LOL 😉 I wish he took a picture of my reaction! Priceless!! I do feel spoiled at times but i wasn't having a good week and he totally flipped it around #iknowexcuses ❔❕

I woke up earlier and decided to make him breakfast in bed this morning! He had such a hard week and worked closed to 50 hours in 4 days!! 😲

Breakfast menu:

Bacon
Toast
Poached eggs
Orange juice ( freshly made this morning)

Ain't I a good wifey?! 😍 haha!

We have a lot of errands today! I hope we can finalise everything this weekend because the moving countdown has started!!! -6 days!! Oh my word ( omg in south Africa ) 😜

Since we had a big breakfast we were full until late afternoon though we snacked on a can of hearts of palm around 5ish!

My parents in law were here today, we were so busy and totally forgot that they were coming to town for a night today! Must be the move.. We're loosing our mind haha!!

So we went to this well known French restaurant called café du monde! This is the second beat restaurant that we've been to in the last three years! Good service, good food, and nice environment! If you guys decide to come to Quebec city as a trip, you seriously need to stop there and have a little extra budget... But the food is worth it trust me!

It's almost 1am and I'm going to shower and crash cause we're waking up early tomorrow to brunch with the beau parents before they head out!
