Not-Long-Enough Weekend

Don't know about you, but I feel this way more and more as time passes. I guess I didn't quite appreciate them since I was never one to hate school, so long weekends didn't hold the same meaning that more days to relax do now. Boy are they necessary!

For the first half of the weekend, I went home to hang out with the fam since I also didn't get to see my mom on Mother's Day last weekend. It was great to just relax and spend some time together, away from my daily routines.

I made my mom a bleached T as her gift :)
We made delicious California Rolls for dinner
And...I couldn't resist wearing my prom dress  for a bit...again [it's been 8 years]

Despite the good times, I can only spend so much time away from the city before suburbia starts to suffocate me. When I got back, dC & I went out for our first round of golf of the year. As much as I complained about the 8:16am (on my day off) tee-time, I'm glad we did it - I was getting hot & sweaty by 9am!

I only shot 45 over par. Sounds worse than it was, some of those holes were tricky!

On Monday we also celebrated our non-date anniversary - the time last year when we were both in denial that our first hangout was clearly a date. Clear to everyone but us apparently LOL

Busted out my new peep-toe flats I bought last weekend (with my yellow toesies)
Delicious drinks & apps at Moxie's for our date night
Went to see Avengers in 3D - so fun!

Our one year anniversary is coming up next month & we're taking a trip (so pumped!) but we thought this was monumental enough (and a good excuse!) to celebrate!

LOVE YOU BABE!

Look at us - must be why our Moxie's server thought we were cool enough to deserve a free dessert ;)

Cheers to next weekend!

Shopping, Sushi, Duckface

My mom and sister finally came to visit me this past weekend and we had a jolly ol' good time! Honestly, this visit has been 'in the works' practically since I moved a year ago but schedules just never jived. My sister's busy social life is difficult to work around.

Obviously we started off by hitting the mall, where I picked up two incredible finds at none other than my favourite, H&M!

$29.95CAD at H&M

I've been dying for blue skinny jeans since Tara ranted about them here & I kept seeing them in all the stores. I already own purple ones, so I wanted more colours! The navy skinny pants I came by accidentally but totally love them for work with a beige or brown top & my giraffe heels. All I'm going to say is be on the lookout for some uncharacteristic for me outfit posts!

Shopping was followed up with sushi *om nom nom*

Mom finally getting the hang of chopsticks (instead of poking the maki)! But it was short-lived...

And that deliciousness was followed up by a makeup session!

Yes, my sister owns all that makeup and more!

She also feels the need to own various brands of exactly the same pink lipstick!

Naturally, I modeled most of them. With my duck face.

I also made out with 3 bare minerals eyeshadows [thanks Nik!]

Really pumped to try them all, especially the neutral shades!

But my favourite part was discovering the lipstick [non]colour I've always dreamed of! Naturally, it comes from M.A.C. so I'm going to have to dish out like $20 but it'll be well worth it!

M.A.C. Fleshpot <3

They left today and I did some shopping for an important upcoming event that I shall not mention yet... Overall a truly lovely weekend! Now if only I could skip the week...*le sigh*
