Girls Weekend Success!

Remember when I posted this rant and asked you to save me? Well no worries guys, I survived and I'm happy to report that the weekend was way better than anyone imagined.

I credit this to having low expectations. #PessimismWin

Friday Night
There were enough beds for everyone! Literally, the perfect amount. Between a couple of girls being sick & the owners low-balling the bed count, we were all happy and comfy for sleeping off our alcohol consumption fun. That is probably the best news I could have delivered but way to make us worry for nothing.

By the time everyone arrives, Megs and I will hopefully have set up everything and the bachelorette shenanigans can begin! There will be party favours for everyone and a few rambunctious games to get the night started.
Party favours? I am not a party favours kinda girl, ya know.

Party favours were actually entertaining - pinning weird paper dicks onto a poster? Sure! Blow up dicks? Yes please!

Obviously we did the obligatory pictures before going out - what kind of girls party would this be otherwise?

Me & the bride to be :)

Please take note of my dick straw...

And remember this:

Then it's out for the night! I've struggled to get a hold of them to reserve space for our large party but at the very least I have confirmed our party on the Guest List and if we get there before 11:30 pm there is no cover :)

So you mean a booth which we'd have to pay for, which you didn't ask us about...yet again...

Non-issue...because the club was CLOSED! That's right. Lights off, doors shut, no one around - closed. So we quickly re-located to the pub, which was lame as fuck because I am a dancing queen love to dance so that's not my scene. But there were some fun moments with a few bachelor parties though I did not capture those on camera.

Let me fix your veil

Sober kisses for the bride!

Saturday

Totally slept in. It was amazing. 'Nuff said. Then had fun making breakfast...I just set the table though...

And I don't know why ever doubted the planned day activity, but it was fucking awesome.

We are going on  tour that they call "Ladies Day" I'm picturing a 'Grandmas Day' here which includes a Tour along [the] Bay to [...]. We will have a private sampling of 4 different wines and 3 different cheeses - playing on Sarah's love for cheese lol- at the [...] Vineyard.  Why are you not giving me more wine and cheese? WHY?!

No, it wasn't enough wine or cheese but it certainly paved the way to our own wine & cheese party back at the chalet!

BEST selfie + photobomb action in the background!

You know what else I totally underestimated? The lingerie party...it was hilarious & totally made me want to have one. You ladies are all invited!

She had to clip our names to each one based on who she thought got what

The rest of the evening out was quite lame - the Italian restaurant sucked balls and we went back to the same pub which was crowded as fuck and even more annoying than the first night.

It's a good thing everyone felt that way and agreed with me that we should head back to the chalet!

Those were some interesting drunken conversations that's for sure. Full of debates over what you do when your MOH gets pregnant and is due two weeks after your wedding! Especially if it's your own damn sister and she didn't tell you until the middle of your second trimester...Oh no it's not me, don't worry guys. Haha 

And that's about it...peaced out early on Sunday after cleaning our room and made it back to the city in time for Game 7 of the Raptors/Brooklyn NBA playoffs. That...I'm not ready to talk about yet.

I want to hear some of your bachelorette horror/awesome stories! Share, share, share!

Cousin Love

After the CNE fun on Friday, my cousin came to visit for the weekend!

We hadn't seen each other since January so it was an amazing reunion!

As soon as she got here, we went off to lunch so she could try Poutine! Of course we also had some Sangria because it was gorgeous outside & we totally wanted to take advantage of the end of summer!

@ Jack Astor's

We also took a trip to IKEA which there are no pictures of because I totally have my hands full while I'm there! Didn't make too big of a dent in my wallet this time around though ;)

That night, we went to a club downtown which I hadn't done in far too long! A blast was had by all :)

Sunday morning, Vik & I hit up Sugar Beach for more summer enjoyment & the weather could not have been more spectacular!!!

Beach babes!

Post-beach, we tried out a new hotspot restaurant at the harbourfront - Amsterdam Brewhouse - and managed to snag seats on the patio facing the lake! It was super windy and we had to hold down the items on our table, but still a great spot.

Beer flights, burgers & love!

 I hardly ever go to Toronto's harbourfront, mainly because it's so annoying to get there - expensive parking & inconvenient transit. But hopefully it'll be even nicer after all of the construction so that we can get more shots with yachts that aren't ours [yet!]

Monday was mostly relax time before Vik had to leave & so ended Summer 2013...

How did you see off the summer this past Labour/Labor Day Weekend?!

turn up the muzik

Last weekend we went out to the club with dC's fam & it was a great time!

In case you don't know, I love clubbing. I do it nowhere near as much as I'd like to - every weekend would be nice - so it's great when I do get to go out!

We hit up Muzik, which is a super posh club in Toronto (celebs go there when they're in town and they usually host the after parties for things like Fashion Week & the Toronto International Film Festival).

In my opinion, it's over-hyped & over-priced but it's definitely gorgeous! Plus, who doesn't like being posh once in a while ;)

I'll let the pictures tell the story though...

Let's get this party starteddd!

Muzik comes with almost-naked dancing girls too...

I feel at home when I'm on the dancefloor...

With the SIL

Birthday Photobooth Fun!

My birthday weekend was great & Friday's party was great!

Here are some pictures from the photobooth I'd set up :)

Ok, the first one is just of me :)

By the end of the night the photobooth was starting to fall apart a little bit LOL

And of course some birthday wishes from my little Coco puff <3

The Dirty 30 Marathon

A couple of weeks ago, someone special turned 30! I agreed to take a small break from my Princess status so that dC could have the spotlight to celebrate this milestone. I felt that it was only fitting to celebrate for 3 straight days!

Celebration #1: Prezzies & Cupcakes (courtesy of my pastry chef prodigy sister!)

Celebration #2: Birthday Dinner (delicious gourmet burgers!)

Celebration #3: Party Time!!!

And then I got my Princess status back... ;)

Long Weekend Love

I'm back from my long weekend away! On Thursday night I took off to A2MI to visit my favourite person:

Cousin Love :)

The weekend consisted of, but was not limited to:

* Reunions

*Doggy Cuddles

*Baby Love

*Sushi Sharing

*More 'Reunions'

*Eastern European Invasions

BG, BG, Serb, BG ;)

*Raising Glasses

...and some things that never, ever change <3

aka Vickey driving with me photo opp-ing!

Needless to say, I spent the Monday recouping from my awesome trip and mentally preparing myself for another week at work. It's a good thing I had my fave guy to help me relax :)

Haha sorry!

And how was your long weekend?
